What Compensation Can A Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyer Obtain For Me?
If you have been injured in a car accident in Los Angeles, CA, you may be eligible for financial compensation for numerous damages, including:
- Medical bills: You have probably already incurred medical bills as a result of your car accident injuries. You may also need future medical care or treatments if your injuries were particularly severe, and this will lead to even more medical bills. Car accident victims also often find themselves unable to pay their medical bills because their injuries have left them unable to work. A car accident attorney at Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers may be able to recover financial compensation for any medical bills you have already incurred as a result of your auto accident as well as any future medical bills that you may incur due to your personal injury.
- Lost wages: You may have missed time from work due to the injuries sustained in your car accident. You may also have missed time from work due to having to attend medical appointments or treated made necessary by your accident. It is common for a car accident claim to include damages for lost wages. The car accident attorneys at Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers can help you obtain financial compensation for any time your car crash caused you to miss from work.
- Loss of earning potential: Sometimes victims of motor vehicle accidents end up not being able to do the work they used to, or not being able to work at all due to their injuries. Common car accident injuries such as neck and back injuries can leave victims permanently disabled. The auto accident lawyers at Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers can help you obtain financial compensation for any loss of earning potential caused by your car accident injuries.
- Pain and suffering: Being in a car accident can be a physically painful and emotionally traumatizing event.

What Sources Of Compensation Are Available?
An auto accident attorney at Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers can identify all sources of financial compensation for you after a car accident. These sources can include:
- The at-fault party’s insurance company: Drivers must carry car insurance under California law. This insurance pays for injuries as well as property damage caused by them. The primary source of financial compensation for an accident victim is usually the at-fault party’s insurance company. Our lawyers will evaluate the at-fault party’s insurance policy and determine if it’s adequate to fully compensate you for your injuries.
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage: If the at-fault driver is uninsured, or if their insurance policy is not adequate to fully compensate you for your injuries, a Los Angeles car accident lawyer at Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers can perform a thorough review of your car insurance policy to determine if you have coverage such as uninsured motorist coverage, underinsured motorist coverage, comprehensive coverage, collision coverage or medical payment coverage.
- Other compensation sources: Other compensation sources sometimes exist in car accident cases, such as when defective car parts or dangerous road conditions are responsible for accidents. Our experienced car accident lawyers can identify any and all parties responsible for your car accident in order to maximize your financial compensation.
What If An Accident Was Partially My Fault?
California car accident laws allow those who are partially at fault for accidents to still obtain financial compensation for their injuries in car accident claims or personal injury lawsuits. This is because California is a pure comparative negligence state.
The way pure comparative negligence works is this: in California, if you are found 20 percent at fault for an accident, the damages you can recover are simply reduced by 20 percent. Thus, if you suffered $100,000 in damages and were found 20 percent at fault for the accident, you would be eligible to recover $80,000 in damages.
How We Can Obtain Compensation For Your Injuries
We can obtain compensation for your injuries because California Civil Code Section 1714 (a) holds anyone who causes harm via negligence liable for that harm.
CACI No. 401 states it is negligent to fail to be reasonably careful in preventing harm. Acting and failing to act can both be negligent, as one should do what a reasonably careful person would do and one should not do what a reasonably careful person wouldn’t do.
CACI No. 400 states that to successfully establish a negligence claim one must prove that negligence substantially caused harm.
We can obtain a financial recovery which can help pay for your medical bills, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, wrongful death and more by proving that your car accident was the result of somebody else’s negligence.
