Scarlett Law Group - Auto Accidents In California
Auto accidents in California occur every day on roads in all states, counties, cities and towns. While many auto accidents are simple "fender benders," others result in substantial property damage and serious injury. Many injured victims of auto accidents are overwhelmed by the avalanche of telephone calls, insurance forms, accident reports, medical bills and general correspondence that is received immediately after an auto accident. Further, those suffering from a car accident injury may not be in the proper frame of mind to deal with inquiries from insurance companies, whether written, recorded or verbal.
Accident victims should appreciate that, while they are still receiving initial medical treatment, the parties at fault have already notified their insurance company of the accident. Every insurance company has a team of adjusters, investigators and attorneys whose primary responsibility is to limit the liability of the insurance company and minimize the amount of money to be paid to injured parties.
In many states, auto accident victims who have suffered personal injury may be entitled to recover damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, permanent disfigurement, dismemberment, wrongful death, scarring, loss of opportunity to enjoy life, interference with marital and/or parental relationships, and other types of general damage. Many states also allow for recovery of "special" damages, such as past, present and future medical bills, wage loss, loss of earnings potential and other out-of-pocket expenses. Some states also require that certain "no-fault" benefits be paid following a traffic accident. This type of benefit may serve to pay a portion of lost wages and medical bills.
