For the inexperienced, the traffic accident procedure is a minefield. At least in theory, insurance companies should monitor this process fairly, but in the vast majority of cases, they always put their needs before the victims.
Hiring an attorney will ensure that your needs come first. This means personalized attention and the recovery of maximum compensation for all losses suffered in traffic accidents.
The question of how much traffic accident victims are entitled to is one of the most common and most difficult to answer. At this point, it is more significant to determine the rights you should obtain and then discuss actual damages with an attorney. Generally, traffic accident victims are eligible to receive compensation.
The process of obtaining compensation for a car accident in California can be complicated and frustrating, where obtaining the necessary compensation will also depend on several factors related to the accident and the car accident attorney you decide to hire.
These factors include: the severity of the accident, what happened, the parties involved, the insurance company, and lastly but not least, whether the victim has a good attorney who is an expert in car accidents.
Although there is no exact formula for calculating this compensation for a car accident in California, there are certain indicators. Specialized car accident attorneys should calculate the approximate value of the case.
The compensation estimate is obtained by adding medical treatment expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering; to the above is added material damages for the repair of the vehicle or its total loss, and then, typically, the result of that amount is multiplied by three.
You should also keep in mind that sometimes injuries remain hidden and do not become apparent until much later. Consequently, it is necessary to perform a complete medical examination of the victim and consider this point in the settlement.
Medical expenses in an accident of this type in California must be covered by the responsible driver's insurance, if, at the time of the car accident, you did not receive the specialized services provided by the other party's insurance company.
Furthermore, you should know that you can also claim anxiety after a car accident, as anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder are generally part of the injuries caused by traffic accidents. Anxiety and fear are part of the emotional damage that can be claimed.
In California, vehicle collisions and deaths caused by collisions are the leading cause of accidental deaths. The state accounts for 13% of all car accident deaths in the United States. Such an alarming number of accidents is due to various causes and constitutes a public health problem.
According to the California Transportation Center Office, there were 44,207 traffic accidents in the state in 2016. All of these accidents involve deaths and injuries.
In 2018, this number tends to fall slightly to 48 deaths per 100,000 residents. Lower than the national average (65 deaths per 100,000 residents).
