California Accident Attorneys

Were you injured in an accident in California caused by a negligent driver?

After calling 911 and assisting anyone injured in the accident, it’s important to document the accident scene to build evidence for your case. Take pictures of the following, at different angles if possible, to give to your attorney:
● Accident scene
● Damage to each vehicle
● Traffic controls
● Visual obstacles
● Any property damage in the roadway
● Any nearby signs that may be relevant
● It’s also smart to get the names and contact information of any witnesses to the accident.

California is a “pure comparative negligence” state – meaning that each party is liable for the amount of negligence they contributed to the accident. Even if the other driver was more at fault than you, you could still have to pay some damages if you’re found to be partially at fault. Examples of negligence can include:
● Distracted driving
● Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
● Disobeying traffic laws or signals
● Not being alert
● Speeding
● Following too closely

To recover as much compensation as possible, it’s important to document the scene of the accident well, and hire a California personal injury attorney to help you argue your case.
