Auto Accidents

If you have been involved in an auto collision that has resulted in injury to you and your property, you may be feeling a significant amount of stress due to missed work, medical bills and having to deal with insurance companies.  This is where the attorneys at Salek Law Firm can be of assistance, and can help you reach a solution to the overwhelming stress that results from a serious auto accident.

You may be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries and property damage if you were hurt in an accident with a negligent driver?  Car crashes based on the negligence of the other driver occur for a number of reason such as inattention, cell phone distraction (talking and/or texting), and driving while intoxicated.  If you were injured in a car crash that was due to another person’s negligence, California law allows the injured party to seek compensation including medical treatment, pain and suffering, physical damage and lost wages and lost future earnings.

California has its own way of handling auto collisions claims, which means you need to speak with a highly qualified attorney if you were in an accident and need help covering your related financial losses.  While states apply differing rules for determination of “fault” in an auto accident, California follows the “comparative fault” rule.  This means that if some fault can be attributed to you, you can still recover in a lawsuit however your compensation could be reduced relative to any fault on your part for the accident.   Thus, it is critical to work with an aggressive and results oriented attorney that will hit the ground running to preserve the critical evidence necessary to prove that the accident occurred through no fault of your own.
