The Accident Litigation Process

If you have been injured in California as a result of an auto accident you should have a solid understanding of the litigation process which includes these very important points:

• You must prove the defendant was negligent before you will be able to receive any damages for your injury which includes three components
  • The defendant had a responsibility to not cause you any harm; however, he neglected to carry that responsibility out
  • The defendant's responsibility and your injury are related
  • You sustained an injury
• If your actions were related to your injury in any way your damages will be lowered calculated by the percentage of responsibility you carried
• California's statute of limitations to file a personal injury claim is two years
• If found negligent, the defendant is liable for the following:
  • Medical expenses for previous and current health care and a tentative future amount
  • Time away from your job
  • Destroyed property
  • Housework help if you are unable to take care of it yourself
  • Deformation or disability
  • Mental health-related stress
  • Miscellaneous expenses due to your injury

As you can see there are many important elements of California law that could impact your case. It is extremely important that you consult with a qualified personal injury attorney well versed in California law to maintain the integrity of your lawsuit.
