If you have been involved in a car accident and were injured as a result, you are probably concerned about how you will pay for necessary medical treatment, repairs to your vehicle and other expenses.

No-Fault Law in California Motor Vehicle Accidents

In California, no-fault law can provide motor vehicle accident victims with compensation for medical expenses, time away from work and other incidental expenses. This compensation may be obtained without proof of fault or negligence on the part of the other drivers involved.

However, if an accident victim wishes to bring a lawsuit for pain and suffering or disability, fault must be proven. Since the precise cause of an automobile accident is not always apparent, it is important for an experienced attorney to thoroughly investigate the claim.

In any accident, it is important to report it to the police and your insurance company, exchange information with the other driver and speak with a lawyer. Do not attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company or sign anything that will give up your rights to the benefits you need.
