What to Know About Your Irvine Car Accident Claim  

A car accident claim is a type of personal injury claim, meaning that you can pursue damages if you have sustained accident injuries as a result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. In a car accident claim, the negligent party known as the at-fault driver. In California, you can be awarded damages even if there is more than one driver at-fault — meaning that, even if you are partially responsible for the accident, you can still pursue financial compensation. This is known as “comparative negligence” or “comparative fault.”  

Fault is not the only factor assessed in a car accident claim, however. If you’ve been the victim of a car accident caused in part by someone else’s negligence, you may be wondering how much your claim is worth. While there is no way to predict a settlement before a claim has been filed, an insurance provider, judge, or jury may take these elements into account when considering your claim and calculating the damages you are owed.  

Factors Assessed in a Car Accident Settlement  

• Damage to Vehicles: Whether you were in a head-on collision, a multiple-vehicle crash, or a fender bender, the level of damage to involved vehicles is a factor when calculating your damages. This is true also for motorcycle accidents and truck accidents — in any motor vehicle collision, the impact on the vehicle(s) involved is taken into account when assessing your claim.
• Severity of Injuries: Car accidents can cause concussion, broken bones, spinal cord injury, and more. The intensity of these injuries is considered as a factor when determining settlement amounts.
• The Number of People Involved in the Accident: Car accidents may involve multiple parties — even those who weren’t in one of the vehicles. Pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, or rideshare accidents may involve a higher number of victims, depending on the specifics of what occurred at the accident scene.

Common Types of Damages Available to Victims  

• Medical Bills: Car accidents of any kind can cause severe injuries, sometimes leaving victims with a permanent disability. Medical bill damages include all doctor and hospital bills related to your injuries, including the cost of in-home care, equipment, and any potential rehabilitation.
• Pain and Suffering: A serious automobile accident can leave victims struggling with physical and emotional distress. These non-economic damages refer not only to the immediate pain you may experience after an accident, but any suffering or decreased enjoyment of life you may have to endure going forward.
• Property Damage: These damages include but are not limited to damage to your vehicle. Property damages refer to harm done to any type of personal property.
• Wrongful Death: Fatal crashes are not uncommon in California, particularly when weather is bad, or visibility is low. Wrongful death damages can be claimed by family members of a deceased victim.
• Punitive Damages: The rarest form of damages to seek or award in a personal injury case, punitive damages aim to punish defendants for egregious wrongdoing, often defined by an intent to cause harm or extreme recklessness. You might see damages like this awarded in instances where the negligent driver has a history of drunk driving.
