Causes of Car Accidents

Car accidents in California are caused by many factors including:

• Vehicle defects
• Fatigue
• Reckless driving
• Inclement weather

Whatever the cause of your accident, our experienced personal injury lawyer team can uncover the cause of your accident and build a strong case for you. 

Proving Negligence

To have a successful car accident claim where you get compensation for your injuries, our team must show these elements of negligence: 

• The other driver had the duty to operate their vehicle in a safe way
• The other driver breached this duty
• Their actions caused the accident
• The accident caused your injuries and/or losses

Also, if your accident was caused by a defect in the road, you may be able to pursue a personal injury lawsuit against the city, county or state agency responsible for maintaining that road. Before filing a lawsuit, you must file a notice of claim with the appropriate government agency within six months of the date of your injury. 

Regardless of what caused your accident, you can trust the car accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Ginger S. Marcos, APC. Most claims are resolved through our skillful negotiating skills with insurance companies. Our legal team knows how to work with insurance companies to get you the money you deserve. We can get you compensated for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, vehicle damages and much more. 

About Car Insurance Claims in CA

California is a fault state for insurance. This means that the other driver must be found responsible for you to pursue a personal injury claim. Also, the state uses comparative negligence law. This means that if your actions contributed to the accident in any way, the amount that you recover will be reduced by the percentage of your fault. For example, if you sustained $10,000 in damage, but the insurance company determines you were 20% at fault, you will receive $8,000 (less 20% of the initial damages). We will conduct a thorough accident investigation, collect all evidence and work with insurance companies to get you your compensation. 

Types of Accident Injuries

Depending on the severity of your crash, car accidents can result in many different injuries. Some of the most common car accident injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Head/neck injuries
• Concussion
• Whiplash
• Cuts/bruises
• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries

It’s important to hire an experienced car accident attorney after sustaining injuries after a car accident that can represent you while you take the necessary time to heal and recover.
