Car accidents happen every day on California’s often dangerous roads and highways. Accordingly, even the most cautious of drivers can become the unfortunate victim of a car accident injury. A car accident can result in severe and even catastrophic injuries, and the road to recovery frequently includes substantial medical bills, missed work and lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Choosing a La Justicia car accident attorney to fight for a maximum damages award after your car accident injury can be the best decision you ever make.

Car accidents can leave the victim – whether a driver or passenger – shaken up, stressed, and vulnerable. While the moments immediately following a car accident injury can be distressing, it’s important to complete as many of the following steps below as possible to ensure that your eventual civil claim for financial compensation has the best chance of success.
The first step to take after a car accident injury is to seek immediate medical attention. This means undergoing a thorough examination by a licensed California physician. Even if you feel “okay” or like your injury “isn’t too bad,” it’s absolutely critical that you have your condition checked out by a doctor as soon as possible after the incident occurs.
Having a doctor’s exam completed after a car accident creates a medical record confirming your condition, and this can be a very important piece of evidence when you file your lawsuit/claim for financial compensation. While having a medical exam completed can be intimidating for some – particularly if you do not have medical insurance or the financial means to pay out-of-pocket – it is strongly recommended that you proceed with treatment. Once you have your medical exam completed, the experienced car accident attorneys at La Justicia will work with you to ensure that your bills are included as part of your overall cash settlement.
After you receive medical treatment, the La Justicia team recommends completing as many of the following steps as possible (provided your condition/the severity of your injuries allows you to do so):
Additionally, it is strongly recommended that you never make a statement to the at-fault party, the at-fault party’s insurance company, your insurance company, or an insurance adjuster without having a La Justicia car accident attorney present to assist you through the process. Moreover, do not sign any legal documents or accept any type of cash settlement/payment for your car accident injuries without first speaking with a La Justicia personal injury attorney.
In California, personal injury civil claims are bound to a deadline known as a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations dictates how long an injured victim has to sue or file a claim for financial compensation after a car accident injury.
For the vast majority of car accident cases, injured victims have two years from the date of the incident to file their claims. However, it is strongly recommended that you file your California car accident injury claim immediately after the incident occurs to ensure that you have the best chance of recovering the maximum financial compensation you deserve. Waiting to file your claim days, weeks, or even a year or more after the incident occurs can jeopardize your ability to recover financial compensation.
The at-fault party and insurance company will undoubtedly do everything possible to minimize your cash payout after a car accident injury. By waiting to file your claim, the opposing party may argue that your injuries were “not that serious” or that you actually suffered/exacerbated those injuries in another way (i.e. working out, doing housework, etc.).
While the two-year statute of limitations applies to most California car accidents, it should be noted that some exceptions exist which make the deadline for filing a claim even shorter. For example, claims against government or public entities (e.g. a federal delivery service like the postal service) typically only have a six month statute of limitations – meaning that from the day your accident occurs, you only have six months to sue for damages.
Finally, the two-year car accident statute of limitations applies to claims for bodily injuries. For physical damage to your property – car, home, etc. – the statute of limitations is usually three years from the date that the accident occurred.
A car accident civil lawsuit is the best way for you as the injured victim to recover financial compensation for various types of losses – what’s known as ‘damages’ in legalese. Depending on the specific facts of your car accident case, the dedicated, proven, and aggressive lawyers at La Justicia will fight for all applicable damages, such as:
When you meet with a La Justicia car accident lawyer for a free consultation, we will review the facts of your case, conduct a thorough investigation, provide you with an overall estimate for how long it may take to reach a cash settlement, and offer an approximate value for how much your car crash claim may be worth. The overall value of a car accident claim is often dependent on the severity of the victim’s injuries, the degree of liability on the part of the at-fault party, whether or not the victim sought medical treatment, the skill and ability of the victim’s personal injury attorney, and the complexity of the case.
Unfortunately, there are countless ways that one can be injured in a car accident. Some of the most common types of car accidents that lead to injuries (and eventual civil claims for damages) include:
Regardless of the scenario which caused your car accident injury, you deserve to be fully compensated for your injuries and any losses sustained if the crash occurred through no fault of your own.
