COMMON CAUSES OF BEVERLY HILLS CAR AND PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS

SEEKING COMPENSATION AFTER A BEVERLY HILLS CAR OR PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT
California uses the fault or tort system regarding car and pedestrian accident claims. This is the most common system in the United States.
In California, when someone is injured in a car accident resulting from the negligence of another party, they have the right to seek financial compensation for all their losses by filing a claim or lawsuit to collect from the negligent party’s insurance. In rare circumstances when the careless party who causes an accident does not have insurance, a victim may file a claim against the other party and use their uninsured motorist coverage to recover all of their damages or file a lawsuit and pursue damages in court.
The types of losses one can seek compensation for after being injured in a car and pedestrian accident include (but are not necessarily limited to) the following:
- Past and future medical bills
- Past and future lost wages if injuries prevent a victim from working
- Noneconomic damages, such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
Victims must understand that insurance companies are businesses. No insurance carrier will allow itself to lose money if it can avoid doing so.
This is one of many reasons it is wise to enlist the help of an experienced Beverly Hills car and pedestrian accident law firm with an outstanding reputation and a proven track record in trials and settlements. According to multiple surveys and studies, whenever personal injury victim files a claim to recover compensation for their losses and damages, their odds of arriving at a fair settlement will be much greater if they have legal representation.
