Do I Have A Car Accident Claim?
We can help you file a car accident claim if:
- You have been injured in a car accident
- The accident was at least partially someone else’s fault
What If I Was Partially At Fault For The Accident?
You can still obtain compensation for any damages sustained in a car accident if you were partially at fault for an accident, as California is a pure comparative negligence state. This means that your damages will simply be reduced by 40 percent if you are found 40 percent at fault for an accident.
What Should I Do After My Car Accident?
The very first thing you should do after a car accident is get to safety. You typically want to get to the side of the road.
Call 911 for an ambulance if anyone is hurt.
Contact law enforcement. This is important because a police report can help you obtain compensation for your injuries. Get contact and insurance information from all parties involved while waiting for the police to arrive, but keep discussion to a minimum. Don’t talk about the circumstances and specifics of the accident with other parties at the accident scene. You may accidentally say something that could prevent you from obtaining compensation for your injuries in the future.
Get the names and contact information of any witnesses. Do not assume the police will do this.

Obtain a medical evaluation as soon as possible after the accident, even if you don’t think you were hurt. Many don’t realize they’re hurt until hours, days or even weeks after an accident. It is critical to obtain medical attention as soon as possible because insurance companies can claim something other than the accident hurt you if you wait too long.
Finally, contact experienced car accident attorneys in Susanville like Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers so they can help you deal with the other party’s insurance company. This is vitally important because insurance adjusters are trained to trick you into admitting fault for accidents, and they will never offer you a fair settlement if you don’t have a personal injury lawyer. Let us talk to the insurance companies and negotiate your settlement for you while you focus on injury recovery.

Proving Your Susanville Car Accident Claim
The key to obtaining compensation for your injuries in a car accident claim under California law is proving that another party’s negligence was to blame for your accident and injuries. The following must be proven in order to prove negligence:
Duty: The defendant had a duty of care. This means that they had a duty to behave as a reasonably careful person would have behaved in the same situation. This is not hard to prove because all drivers in California have a duty to follow traffic laws and safely operate their vehicles.
Breach: The defendant breached their duty of care. Evidence, such as testimony, statements by witnesses, videos, photos, and police reports can help prove that a defendant breached their duty of care.
Injury: The plaintiff suffered injury. Evidence is, again, crucial here. Evidence can include photos, medical bills and medical reports.
Causation: The defendant injured the plaintiff by breaching their duty of care. This means that it must be proven that you wouldn’t have been injured had the plaintiff not breached their duty of care.
How Much Do Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers Charge?
Our car accident lawyers in Lassen County do not charge any out of pocket fees. You will never owe our law firm even a penny out of your own pocket.
The only fee we charge is a percentage of whatever we recover for you. We will charge you nothing if we don’t recover any financial compensation for you.
How Long Do I Have To File A Car Accident Lawsuit?
There is a time limit for filing personal injury lawsuits after a car accident in California. That time limit is two years from the date of the accident.
This time limit is called a statute of limitations. Failure to file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires can forever prevent you from obtaining the financial compensation for your injuries that you are entitled to under California law.
It’s important that you call us today if you’ve been injured in a car accident which wasn’t your fault. Car accident claims can be very complex and it can take a long time to build a convincing claim. Calling us today gives us the most time possible to build a convincing case on your behalf and file it in time.
