Recovering From a San Bernardino Interstate 15 Accident
You will need to prove fault for your accident before you can claim any compensation for your damages. Accidents on Interstate 15 in San Bernardino can happen in many different ways, and an experienced attorney can help you determine the exact cause of your recent accident. Once you have proven fault, you can proceed with claiming compensation for any damages the at-fault driver caused.
Every driver in California is required to have auto insurance, so filing a claim with the liable driver’s car insurance carrier is likely to be one of your first options for recovering from your accident. However, the Insurance Information Institute estimates that about 17% of California drivers are uninsured, so this may not be an option in your case. Even if it is, trying to deal with most insurance companies is often challenging.
Your San Bernardino Interstate 15 accident lawyer can negotiate with the defendant’s insurance company for you, ensuring you receive a fair settlement offer. If you must file a personal injury case against the defendant, your attorney can help you build a comprehensive civil claim that aims to secure maximum compensation for your damages. You could receive compensation for the economic as well as the non-economic damages caused by the defendant.
The attorneys at Easton & Easton aim to help every client we represent maximize their compensation. There is just a limited window to build your case, as the evidence you may need will not be available for very long. Get in touch with us right away after an accident on I-15 in San Bernardino to find out what we can assist with your recovery.
FAQs
How Do You Prove Fault for an Interstate 15 Accident in San Bernardino?
You can prove fault for an Interstate 15 accident in San Bernardino using various forms of evidence. Your car accident attorney in San Bernardino can obtain drivers’ cell phone records, vehicle computer data, and statements from eyewitnesses to help you establish fault for the accident. California law requires proving fault before you can claim compensation for your injuries from any other party.
What Happens if I Share Fault for an Accident on I-15?
If you share fault for an accident on I-15, you may still be able to receive compensation for your damages. However, California enforces a pure comparative negligence law, meaning that when an injured plaintiff shares liability for their damages, they have a fault percentage assigned, and they lose this percentage of their case award. Shared liability is also likely to affect the outcome of an auto insurance claim.
How Much Compensation Can I Claim for an Interstate 15 Accident?
The amount of compensation you can claim for an Interstate 15 accident will depend on the scope and severity of your damages. If you can prove the defendant is responsible for causing your accident, you can seek compensation for vehicle repair costs, medical expenses, lost income if you cannot work during your recovery, and compensation for the pain and suffering they caused. Your attorney can help you maximize your recovery.
