When Does It Become Too Late to Claim After a Los Angeles Car Accident?
When it comes to filing for damages and compensation after a Los Angeles car accident, as with any time of personal injury, the general rule is the sooner, the better. You may be wondering why it would take you as long as two years to file your claim – after all, you probably think that you would want to pursue compensation as soon as possible. While that is true in many cases, there are also several reasons why you may not approach a Los Angeles personal injury attorney immediately.
Much of the time, these delays lead on from a delay in seeking medical treatment, with some of the common reasons for delaying include: ● Your injuries do not initially appear to be severe, but the pain increases significantly over time ● You may choose to deliberately ignore your pain and put up with your injury as you cannot financially afford to miss work ● The injury may worsen over time. Some types of injuries do not appear to be severe at first, but develop over time and can then become problematic
What damages are recoverable after a car accident? While the value of reimbursement for property damage and medical bills are relatively easy to establish given that their cost is being documented in your property damage and personal injury claims, it may not be as easy to put a dollar figure on other compensatory damages in a personal injury claim: ● Lost wages. ● Loss of earning capacity. ● Loss of enjoyment. ● Pain and suffering. ● Loss of consortium.
Do I need to report a car accident in Los Angeles? Depends on the circumstances of your car crash. Under state laws in Los Angeles and elsewhere in California, you must report a car accident if: ● Property damages exceeds $750; or ● Anyone has been killed or injured (even minor injuries count). But do not be mistaken: do not trust those fraudulent and unfair insurance companies in California. Instead, let your Los Angeles car accident lawyer report the car accident on your behalf by using the Report of Traffic Accident Occurring in California.
What if I do not report a car accident? Your failure to report a car accident that meets the above-mentioned criteria can result in a misdemeanor hit-and-run offense under California Vehicle Code § 20002 if there was property damage only, or a felony hit-and-run offense under California Vehicle Code § 20001 if someone has been injured or killed as a result of the collision. Under state laws in California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim after a car accident, and three years to seek compensation for property damage.
