Is A Car Accident Lawyer Really Necessary For Me?

It is necessary that you retain the services of a Tracy personal injury lawyer if you have been injured in a car accident in Tracy and you would like to be compensated fairly for your injuries.

Car insurance companies have nothing to fear from a random citizen with no law experience who gets in a car accident and pursues a personal injury claim on their own, and they have no reason to respect such a person. Their thought process, when they see a claimant like this, involves trying as hard as possible to exploit the claimant so as to pay out as little as possible for the sake of preserving profits. Their adjusters are trained to trick you into incriminating yourself, reducing or limiting their insureds’ liability in the process. You should never talk to another driver’s insurance company because of this. In addition, they know that claimants who are not represented by a lawyer cannot win personal injury lawsuits against them, so they have no good reason to offer claimants in personal injury cases what they deserve if they don’t have lawyers.

It is vital that you retain the services of an experienced personal injury lawyer if you want to be compensated fairly for your injuries. Insurance companies fear and respect Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers. Virtually all of our personal injury claims end in fair settlements out of court because insurance adjusters know they’ll be on the hook for even more if the case goes to trial.

We can obtain a fair settlement for you while dealing with the insurance companies for you so you don’t need to undergo the hassle and substantial risk of doing it yourself.

Negligence: The Key To Your Car Accident Recovery

CACI No. 401 states that it is negligent to fail to use reasonable care in order to prevent causing harm to anyone, including yourself. Acting can be negligent, as can be failing to act. It is negligent if you do what a reasonably careful person wouldn’t. It is negligent if you don’t do what a reasonably careful person would.

Personal injury law in California holds drivers liable for damages caused by their negligence. We can obtain you a car accident recovery by proving that someone else’s negligence caused your injuries and other damages.

CACI No. 400 states the following needs to be proven to establish negligence in California:

• Negligence occurred
• Someone was harmed
• The negligence substantially caused the harm

Negligence Examples

There are numerous, common examples of negligent driving behavior which can cause accidents, including but not limited to:

• Keeping attentive and alert
• Driving too fast
• Driving a car with broken equipment like brakes or lights
• Loss of control of the car
• Not obeying right-of-way rules
• Driving while drunk or on drugs
• Not using equipment like lights correctly
• Driving on the wrong side of the road
• Distracted driving involving cell phones
• Fatigued driving
• Failure to follow traffic laws

Comparative Negligence

A plaintiff’s damages are reduced by their percentage of fault in any accident in California. This is established by CACI No. 405, which states that if a plaintiff is negligent and this negligence was a substantial factor in causing harm to them, the jury is to determine the plaintiff’s percentage of fault and reduce the defendant’s liability by that amount.

This means that if you are in an accident which a jury determines was 20% your fault and 80% the fault of the other driver, the liability of the other driver and their insurance company is reduced by 20%.

What Should I Do After Being Hurt In A Car Accident In Tracy?

The choices you make after being injured in a car accident can have a huge impact on your ability to obtain financial compensation for your injuries. Be sure to do the following if you want to maximize your financial recovery after a car accident:

• Get to a place of safety: If you are able, you should move yourself and a vehicle as far off the road as you can to a safe place.
• Check for injuries: Check if you have been injured and, if you are physically capable, check to see if anyone else involved in the accident has been hurt.
• Call 911: You are legally obligated to do this if anyone has been injured or killed in the accident. However, there is another reason to do this, and that is in order to obtain a police report. While police reports are inadmissible as evidence in court, they can be vital pieces of evidence when it comes to convincing insurance companies that those they represent are responsible and therefore financially liable for your injuries. Request a copy of the police report.
• Get medical attention as soon as you can: Get medical attention immediately even if you don’t think you’re injured. It is common for injuries to not result in symptoms until weeks or months after an accident, but insurance companies can claim something other than your accident caused your injuries if you wait too long to get your injuries documented by a healthcare provider. Dutifully attend any follow-up appointments or treatments, as failure to do so can lead to insurance companies claiming your injuries must not be serious.
• Gather evidence: You should take pictures and/or video of the accident scene, your injuries, the road conditions, the weather conditions, any signs or signals at the scene of the accident, etc. Take pictures and/or video from multiple angles. You should obtain the name, contact and insurance information of any other drivers involved in the accident. You should get the name and contact information of any witnesses to the accident. You should write down your memories of the accident as soon after the accident as you can before your memories weaken. You should keep a file in which you place anything that goes on paper related to your accident, such as medical bills, the police report, etc. You should keep a diary of your post-accident experiences which details things like your medical treatments, any pain and suffering you endure and more.
• Be careful what you say: Keep conversation at the scene of the car wreck to a minimum. Don’t apologize or admit fault. Don’t talk to other parties’ insurance companies; let a lawyer do that for you instead so you don’t incriminate yourself.
