INVESTIGATING CAR ACCIDENTS IN SAN DIEGO

San Diego Car Accident AttorneyIn order to successfully resolve a car accident, an experienced attorney will need to investigate the facts of how the accident occurred. Every car accident is unique and so every investigation will be dependent on the specific details of the collision. However, some common elements often arise in most car accident investigations.

The attorneys at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas are diligent in thoroughly investigating each car accident claim to make sure the victims obtain the full compensation that they deserve. Our San Diego car accident attorneys will look into your accident by:

  • Examining physical evidence, such as the damage to your car and the other cars involved in the accident.
  • Speaking to witnesses.
  • Obtaining the police report.
  • Inspecting the scene of the accident.
  • Reviewing medical reports and billing.
  • Examining GPS data from relevant vehicles.

COMMON INJURIES SUFFERED IN A CAR CRASH

Every part of the body is vulnerable in a car crash. Although wearing a seatbelt can save lives and even minimize injuries, accident victims can nevertheless suffer serious injuries in a car accident. Some collision injuries, however, tend to be more common than others. Some common car crash injuries include:

It is important to note that some car accident injuries may not be in the physical form. It is common for victims of serious car crashes to also suffer injuries that are emotional and psychological in nature. Every type of injury that is inflicted on an accident victim should be included in any pursuit of financial recovery.

Regardless of what type of injury you suffered in a car accident, the legal team at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas is ready to fight for you and help you get the full compensation that you deserve.

COMPARATIVE FAULT UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW

While some car collisions may be clear-cut with regard to who is at fault and who is not, most are not. With some car accidents, both parties may be partially at fault. In others, it may be very difficult in proving who actually caused the crash. As such, if you have been injured in a collision, it is imperative that you immediately hire an experienced San Diego car accident lawyer to protect your legal rights.

California law explicitly accounts for this type of situation by way of a legal doctrine called comparative negligence. California is a “pure” comparative negligence jurisdiction. This means that even if you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages from the other party involved.

IDENTIFYING THE AT-FAULT PARTIES

Although you may have the contact and insurance information of the other party involved in the motor vehicle crash, an investigation into determining fault may not be as simple as just making a couple of phone calls. Many accidents can actually be attributed to more than one party, which can actually help you in recovering additional compensation. However, proving the fault of multiple parties in a car crash can be a complicated legal matter.

Some common causes of motor vehicle accidents that can help identify all liable parties include:

  • Distracted driving
  • Driving under the influence
  • Speeding
  • Tailgating
  • Dangerous road conditions
  • Road construction

GETTING THE COMPENSATION THAT YOU DESERVE

Another critical component of your car accident claim is determining how much compensation you are entitled to for the injuries you have suffered. Our San Diego car accident attorneys may not be able to tell you the exact compensation you will get, but they will work hard to make sure you get the maximum compensation that you deserve.

The following are some common financial and non-economic damages you may be entitled to depending on the specific facts of your case:

  • Current and future medical bills.
  • Loss of income.
  • Loss of potential earning capacity.
  • Pain and suffering.
  • Reduced enjoyment of life.
  • Emotional trauma.
  • Wrongful death.
  • Any out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident.

IMPORTANT STEPS TO TAKE AFTER AN AUTO ACCIDENT

In order to make sure you get the full compensation that you deserve from the party or parties who caused your car crash, you need to take to certain steps immediately following the accident, such as:

  • Call 911.
  • Seek immediate medical attention.
  • Compile evidence from your accident.
  • Notify your insurance company.
  • Contact an experienced San Diego auto accident attorney.
