How A Car Accident Attorney Can Help

 

Attorney Rehm will be able to negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to get you a fair settlement. He will discuss with you the details of the accident, collect evidence and police reports, and assess the amount of compensation you should receive. If he cannot come to an agreement with the insurance company, Attorney Rehm can take them to court and fight for the compensation you should be awarded. Every car accident is unique, and you may be able to recover some or all of the following damages:

  • Current medical bills resulting from the accident
  • Future medical expenses for recovery, physical therapy, and lifelong injuries
  • Vehicle repair or replacement
  • Lost wages
  • Temporary or permanent disability reimbursement
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental/emotional pain and suffering

It is important to contact a car accident lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. You have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Contacting a car accident lawyer quickly after the accident, will ensure that the lawyer has enough time to gather evidence and prove your case. You don’t want your witnesses forgetting what they saw or moving before they can assist you with your claim.

 

Even If You’re Partially At Fault, You Can Recover Compensation

 

California car accident cases are governed by pure comparative negligence. This means that you can be partially at fault but still be awarded a reduced amount in compensation. For instance, if someone ran a stop light and hit you, the accident was clearly their fault. However, if you were traveling even a few miles an hour over the speed limit at the time of the accident, you are also partially at fault. The courts may determine that the other driver was 97% responsible for the accident while you were 3% responsible. In this example, your settlement will be reduced by 3% because of your level of responsibility.
