Dealing with Insurance After Your Campbell Crash

As much as we all like to lightheartedly criticize insurance companies in general, the difficulty can become all too real when you’re trying to get fair compensation for your injuries. Getting your claims denied is frustrating, but having to watch every word you say in the presence of an adjuster can feel even worse.

If an insurer can get you to say something incriminating on record, regardless of the truth of the statement, the company might be able to reduce its responsibility to compensate you.

For these reasons, we recommend letting your Campbell car crash attorney speak to insurers on your behalf.

 

California Car Accident Law

Insurance companies have been known to take advantage of the fact that California uses a standard called comparative negligence, which can reduce the damages an accident victim receives if he or she is found partially negligent.

This standard makes it so liability in a car accident can be assigned to multiple parties, regardless of how little fault they possess.

If you are found to hold some of the blame, your awarded compensation will be reduced proportionately. Because being slapped with liability directly eats into the amount of compensation you receive, you will always want to prove that you hold as little fault as possible.

Also to keep in mind is California’s statute of limitations, which gives personal injury victims two years from the date of their accident to file their claim. Any suits filed after this deadline will not be considered.

 

Campbell Car Accident Injuries

Campbell car accident victims have been known to experience a wide variety of injuries following a crash, many of which are long-term or completely disabling.

Some of these injuries include the following:
