Car Accidents in California
Car accidents frequently occur in California. These incidents leave hundreds of thousands of people injured every day. Regrettably, many victims face towering financial consequences as a result. If you were hurt in a car crash, you may be able to seek compensation for the damages that you face by filing a personal injury case.
In order to identify who is at fault for a car accident in California, it is important to understand the state's fault laws. California is a pure comparative negligence state, which means that each individual involved in an accident is responsible for their own damages, up to the amount that they are at fault. For example, if a driver rear-ends another car and it is determined that they are 75% at fault, they will be responsible for 75% of the damage caused.
There are several factors that can be considered when determining who is at fault for an accident, but some of the most common include:
- Who had the right of way?
- Who was speeding?
- Who was driving recklessly?
- Who ran a red light or stop sign?
- Who made an illegal turn?
It is important to note that even if one party is determined to be more at fault than the other, both parties may still be liable for damages. For example, if one driver ran a red light and collided with another car that was making a legal left turn, both drivers would likely be found at fault and would be responsible for their own damages.
