Gilroy Car Accident Lawyers

Home > Gilroy Car Accident Lawyer

Many people spend a little time every day in the car, whether it’s while going to work or the grocery store or a loved one’s home. Unfortunately, despite efforts to make local roads like Highway 17 safer, if you may have a serious crash because of another driver’s negligence.

After a catastrophic accident, you may need a Gilroy car accident lawyer on your side. Your injuries are serious, and you need help getting the full compensation you deserve for all you have lost after your accident. When this happens to you, don’t hesitate to act. Call our offices to get on the right track to getting your full compensation.

Common Collision Damages

Handling your claim for compensation is difficult because you’re not at 100 percent. Chances are, you’re in pain from your injuries, which can be life-threatening. The chances that your accident was severe are high.

Your Gilroy auto collision could leave you struggling to get your life back together in the face of the financial strain and the emotional distress, but calculating your damages will help you on the way to your compensation. Some common damages include the following:

  • Medical Expenses – If your collision warranted even a visit to the hospital, your bills may be particularly high. Be sure to include planned expenses as well. If your accident means you’ll need a surgery in the future, be sure to include this in your damages.
  • Lost Wages – While your injuries might not be life-threatening, they can leave you unable to work after an accident. That means the accident left you in a worsened financial state.
  • Emotional Trauma – Dealing with a traumatic injury or with the violence of an accident can leave you with permanent mental scars. Even seeing someone else injured or killed during an accident can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can be difficult to overcome.

Fault and Negligence

Unfortunately, having serious injuries doesn’t mean you’ll get the compensation you deserve, even if the other driver is clearly at fault.

California recognizes “comparative negligence,” and you can expect that the defense will try to use this against you. Comparative negligence means that, if you’re in an accident, you may be partially responsible for that accident. If the court believes this, then you could lose a percentage of your awarded compensation.

For instance, 20 percent fault means that you’ll receive only 80 percent of your compensation. This will only make it more difficult to recover. If you don’t have your full compensation, that’s more out-of-pocket expenses for you to handle yourself. A car accident lawyer in Gilroy can work to maximize the value of your claim.
