Common Ways Car Accidents Happen in California
Car accidents happen in countless ways, but we see certain situations come up again and again. If your accident sounds like one of these, we can help.
- Someone ran a red light or stop sign – You were driving through an intersection when another driver ignored the signal and hit you.
- You were rear-ended – Another driver wasn’t paying attention and crashed into you from behind.
- A distracted driver hit you – Someone was texting, on the phone, or simply not watching the road.
- Another driver merged into your lane – You were sideswiped or forced off the road when someone changed lanes without looking.
- A drunk or impaired driver caused the crash – The other driver was under the influence and shouldn’t have been behind the wheel.
- You were hit in a parking lot – Another driver backed into you or wasn’t paying attention while pulling out of a space.
- Someone made an unsafe left turn – A driver turned in front of you without yielding the right of way.
- You were involved in a multi-car pileup – Multiple vehicles were involved, and it’s unclear who was at fault.
- A driver was speeding or driving recklessly – Aggressive driving or excessive speed caused the collision.
The True Cost of a Car Accident Goes Beyond Medical Bills
A serious car accident doesn’t just cause physical pain—it affects your ability to work, care for your family, and live your life. You deserve compensation that addresses all of these losses, not just your medical bills.
- Physical injuries – Broken bones, whiplash, back and neck injuries, concussions, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal injuries, and soft tissue damage.
- Medical expenses – Emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, prescription medications, and ongoing treatment costs.
- Lost wages and income – Time you’ve already missed from work, plus any future earning capacity you may have lost due to your injuries.
- Pain and suffering – The physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life caused by the accident.
- Future medical care – Ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, medical equipment, and any long-term care you may need.
- Property damage – Repairs or replacement value for your vehicle and personal belongings damaged in the crash.
- Permanent disability or disfigurement – Compensation if your injuries have caused lasting impairment or scarring.
- Loss of enjoyment of life – The activities, hobbies, and experiences you can no longer participate in because of your injuries.
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in California?
In California, you typically have two years from the date of your car accident to file a personal injury claim. This time limit is set by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1.
The two-year period starts on the date the accident occurred. However, if the accident resulted in someone’s death, the two-year period begins on the date of death for wrongful death claims.
Because these deadlines are strict and some situations may have shorter time limits, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your accident to protect your rights.
Understanding Your Car Insurance Coverage
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM/UIM) – This coverage helps pay for your medical expenses if you’re hit by someone who has little or no car insurance. It also covers you in hit-and-run accidents where the other driver can’t be identified.
- Liability Coverage – This includes two types of coverage: Bodily Injury Liability and Property Damage Liability. These coverages pay for damages that other people suffer in an accident that you caused.
- Medical Payments Coverage (MedPay) – This coverage pays for medical expenses for you and any passengers in your vehicle who are injured in an accident, regardless of who was at fault.
- Comprehensive Coverage – This protects you against vehicle damage caused by events outside of collisions, such as weather damage, vandalism, or theft.
- Collision Coverage – This helps pay for repairs or replacement of your vehicle after an accident, regardless of who was at fault.
Why You Need an Attorney When Dealing With Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company—not for you. While they may seem helpful, their job is to minimize what the company pays out on your claim.
An adjuster’s priority is protecting the insurance company’s bottom line, which often means offering you less than your case is worth. They may downplay your injuries, rush you into a quick settlement, or use your own words against you.
That’s why it’s important to have an experienced attorney on your side. At Victory Law Group, we understand how insurance companies operate, and we work to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims involving government entities. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How is the value of my case determined?
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life. We review all of these factors during your free consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Your settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically disqualified.
How long does a personal injury case take?
It depends. Some cases settle in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over fault, can take longer. We move as quickly as possible while making sure you receive fair compensation.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case for trial to strengthen your negotiating position and ensure you’re not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
Still have questions? We’re happy to answer them during your free consultation. No pressure. No obligation.
