Steps in Building a Strong Car Accident Lawsuit in California
1. Thorough Investigation of the Car Crash
When building your case, we will thoroughly investigate the accident, gathering all available evidence to determine what caused it.
Here’s what you can expect:
We’ll communicate with the Sacramento Police Department on your behalf. Why is this important?
A police report is a crucial piece of evidence in a car accident case. It provides an official, unbiased account of the accident, documenting key details such as the time, location, involved parties, witness statements, and any violations of traffic laws. Insurance companies and courts often rely on these reports to assess liability and determine fault.
We’ll speak with witnesses. Witness statements can provide additional perspectives that support your claim, especially if the other driver disputes fault. Their accounts may be included in the police report, further solidifying your case.
We’ll obtain any relevant security camera footage, including any from the City of Sacramento or Sacramento County.
2. File an Accident Claim and Negotiate with the Insurance Company
Regardless of fault, all drivers should notify their insurance providers. Insurance adjusters may contact the parties to request a recorded statement. However, providing a recorded statement is not required.
Our attorneys will present evidence, challenge any unfair fault determinations, and push for a fair settlement that reflects the true extent of your losses.
If the insurance company denies a claim or offers a settlement that does not fully cover damages, Curtis Legal Group will negotiate aggressively on your behalf.
3. The Necessity of Filing Accident Lawsuits.
If the insurance company refuses to offer a reasonable settlement, our legal team is prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to court.
When filing a lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant was liable for the accident by presenting evidence of negligence.
The plaintiff has the burden of proving that the defendant was responsible for the car accident. Establishing liability typically requires demonstrating negligence.
Examples of Negligence in Car Accidents
When proving negligence after an accident, the first element—duty of care—is always present because all drivers have a legal obligation to operate their vehicles safely and responsibly. However, proving a breach of this duty can be challenging. Common causes of car accidents include are from examples of a driver failing to uphold their duty of care include:
- Engaging in distracted driving such as Texting while driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Excessive speeding
