Los Angeles Car Accident Questions: Quick Answers

• How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in California? You have two years from the date of the car crash to file an injury claim and three years for property damage.
• What if a government vehicle was involved in my car accident? You usually have only six months to file a written claim. Government claims have their own forms, agencies, and procedures.
• What if I was partly at fault for the car accident? You may still be able to recover compensation. Under California’s comparative fault rule, your compensation is reduced by your share of the blame.
• What car insurance must California drivers carry? At least $30,000 per person, $60,000 per accident, and $15,000 for property damage. These minimums rose for policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025.
• What if the driver who caused my car accident is underinsured? If you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, it may help pay for your injuries.
• Do I have to report a car accident to the DMV? Yes. You or your car accident attorney should file form SR-1 within 10 days if anyone suffered injuries or was killed, or if property damage exceeded $1,000.
• Does my immigration status affect my car accident claim? No. In California, your immigration status can’t be used against you. You have the same right to file a personal injury car accident claim as anyone else.

Can I Afford to Hire The Dominguez Firm?

Yes. Hiring a car accident lawyer at The Dominguez Firm costs you nothing upfront. You don't pay us anything unless we win your case. We also offer free consultations.

We work on a contingency basis. That means we’re paid a percentage of your verdict or settlement amount. That percentage is clearly stated in the client representative agreement you sign when you become our client.

We cover the costs of building your case, including gathering evidence, hiring investigators, and obtaining expert opinions for your injury claim. You don't pay us back for any of this unless we win. 

The Dominguez Firm also covers needed medical care related to your accident injury while your case is ongoing. These expenses are later subtracted from your compensation. And in the unlikely event we’re unable to obtain any compensation for you, you owe us nothing; if there is no recovery, there is no fee!

Do I Need a Car Accident Lawyer?

Not every car accident requires an attorney. If nobody was hurt and the only damage is to your car, like someone hitting it while parked, you can handle it directly with the insurance company.

A car accident lawyer helps most when:

• You were seriously injured. The cost of serious injury can be astronomical. An initial generous insurance offer could leave you short, especially if you develop health complications. An experienced car accident lawyer can calculate a fair offer based on your injuries and similar cases they’ve handled previously.
• The insurance company makes a quick, low offer. One tactic insurers use to pay less is to make a quick offer. They count on you needing the money coupled with not knowing the value of your claim. An experienced auto accident attorney can negotiate a fair offer. They should also be able to take your case to court if the insurer won’t do the right thing. 
• Fault is disputed. If the other driver or their insurance company blames you for the crash, a skilled Los Angeles car accident attorney can gather evidence and fight to ensure blame is calculated fairly.
• The other driver has no insurance, not enough insurance, or left the scene. Estimates show over 20% of drivers in the Golden State were uninsured in 2023. So being hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver is a real possibility, as is a hit-and-run car accident. In situations like these, your own coverage may cover your damages. Your auto accident attorney will work with your coverage and particular situation.
• A government vehicle was involved. Crashes involving a city bus, police car, county truck, or Metro vehicle come with shorter deadlines and more paperwork than a typical claim. Handling a claim like this yourself, especially if you’re seriously injured, is difficult.
• There was a fatality. These cases involve more evidence and higher stakes. California laws govern who can bring a wrongful death claim. Usually it’s a spouse, domestic partner, or children. Early legal help is essential.
• Multiple vehicles were involved. A crash between a car and a truck can involve multiple drivers, several insurance companies, and different state and federal laws depending on the vehicles involved. The more parties, the more there is to sort out. An experienced car accident attorney can handle all of these complexities.

What Compensation Can I Get for My Car Accident?

Every car accident is different, so no personal injury attorney can tell you exactly how much your case is worth. They can, however, estimate its value based on several factors and similar cases they’ve handled previously.

Your potential compensation is divided into economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are straightforward; they compensate you for the financial losses you’ve suffered because of your auto accident. Non-economic damages are intended to cover the emotional toll your crash has had on you.

Several factors determine the value of your car accident claim.

• The extent of your injuries. This is usually the biggest factor. Serious injuries that require surgery and extended time off work generally result in larger settlement and verdict amounts. For catastrophic and permanent injuries, the cost of long-term care and home modifications must also be calculated.
• Who was at fault, and by what percentage? California lets you recover money even if you share blame. But your share of the blame reduces what you can collect.
• The insurance available. The at-fault driver's insurance usually pays first. If that isn't enough to cover your losses, your own coverage may help fill the gap.
• Your lost income, now and in the future. If your injuries kept you from working, you can seek compensation for any lost income or wages. If your car accident injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job, you can receive compensation for retraining and/or loss of earning capacity.
• Damage to your car and other property. The cost to repair or replace your vehicle, plus any items damaged in the car crash.
• Your pain and suffering. Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident. These are considered non-economic damages. California places no limit on the amount awarded for non-economic damages. It usually makes up the bulk of a car accident victim’s verdict or settlement.
• Loss of enjoyment of life. This category is meant to compensate you for the toll the accident took on your daily life, like not being able to play with your children or exercise as you did before your auto accident.
• Your medical bills related to your car accident injuries. This includes what your insurance paid and what you owe out of pocket, not the full amount billed.
• Whether your car accident attorney has the resources to go to trial. Insurers are more likely to settle when they believe your car accident lawyer will take your case to court. A firm with its own trial lawyers gives you more leverage for a higher settlement.

What If I Was Partly at Fault for the Accident?

You can still recover compensation. California is a comparative fault state, meaning your total is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if your damages are $1,000,000 and you’re found 20% responsible, you can recover $800,000.

Insurance companies know this rule well. Every percentage point they assign to you lowers what they pay, so they often try to place more blame on you than you deserve. Each party’s percentage of fault is based on evidence, such as the police report, photos, witness statements, and surveillance footage.

So don’t admit fault or guess about what happened, even in a casual conversation. Call The Dominguez Firm first. Our car accident attorneys will investigate the crash, gather the evidence, and push back if the insurer tries to shift blame onto you.

Know the Difference: Law Firm or Attorney Advertising Company?

The Dominguez Firm is a full-service personal injury law firm. Our in-house litigation attorneys handle your case from start to finish. We have the staff, investigators, and financial resources to see your car accident case through to the end.

Some car accident ads lead to an attorney advertising company, not a law firm. Some callers may not know this. The company collects information regarding your car accident and, if it meets its criteria, connects you with an independent attorney who participates in its advertising program. You still decide whether to hire that attorney.

Before you sign anything, ask whether you’re calling an actual personal injury law firm and if it can handle your case from start to finish, including going to court if needed. With The Dominguez Firm, you already know the answer: we are, and we can.

Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Car Accident Lawyer

When you call a personal injury law firm, you’re not just gathering information; you also want to see how they interact with you. Are they friendly or impatient? First impressions matter. They should be cordial and helpful from the start.

How Do I Check a California Car Accident Lawyer’s License?

You can check any California lawyer’s license and discipline history for free on the State Bar of California website. Search by name before you sign with any car accident lawyer.

Who Will Actually Handle My Car Accident Case?

Ask whether a car accident lawyer at that firm will handle your case, or whether it will be referred out. At The Dominguez Firm, one of our experienced litigation attorneys will handle your car accident case.

At The Dominguez Firm, your case is assigned to one of our experienced litigation attorneys.

Does a Supervising Attorney Review My Car Accident Case?

At The Dominguez Firm, yes. A supervising managing attorney also reviews your car accident case, so two of our personal injury lawyers are assigned to your personal injury case.

Does the Law Firm Have In-House Car Accident Trial Lawyers?

Ask whether the firm’s own lawyers take car accident cases to trial. Ours do. If the insurance company won’t make a fair offer, our in-house trial lawyers can take your case to court.

Warning: Car Accident Lawyers Recommended at the Scene

In California, it's illegal for a personal injury lawyer to pay tow truck drivers, body shop workers, or anyone else to send accident victims to them. This is called capping. A trustworthy Los Angeles car accident lawyer will never find clients this way. If someone at the scene or the hospital pushes a lawyer on you, that's a red flag. Choose your car accident lawyer yourself.

How Long Will My Case Take?

No personal injury attorney can give you a precise timeline. Several factors determine how long your Los Angeles car accident case can take:

• The extent of your injuries and how long your medical treatment takes.
• The number of parties involved.
• If a commercial truck or government vehicle was involved, extra parties and filing requirements can add time.
• A dispute about who caused the accident.
• Whether your car accident case settles or goes to trial.

In short, your case should take as long as needed to arrive at a favorable resolution for you.

Will I Need to Go to Court?

Generally, most car accident cases settle before going to court. However, it could go to trial if the defendant’s insurance company won’t make a fair offer. If your injuries are serious and the insurer’s offer is low, your car accident attorney will likely advise you to go to trial.

How Will You Keep Me Updated?

Full-service personal injury law firms usually have dedicated case managers who can keep you updated on your car accident claim. They can often do so in your preferred language.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident in Los Angeles?

1. Call 911 if you or anyone else is injured.
2. If it's safe, move your car out of traffic and turn on your hazard lights.
3. Check yourself and everyone else for injuries. Adrenaline can hide pain, so you may be hurt even if you feel okay.
4. Don't say it was your fault. Don't apologize. Just tell the police what happened.
5. Get the other driver's name, phone number, license plate, and insurance information. Take a photo of their license and insurance card. Don’t discuss how the auto accident happened or who caused it.
6. Take photos of the cars, the street, and any injuries. Look for security cameras nearby. Get the names and numbers of any eyewitnesses.
7. See a doctor as soon as possible, even if you feel fine. Some injuries, like concussions and whiplash, can take a day or two to show up.
8. If you were seriously injured, don't speak with any insurance adjusters, including your own. Call The Dominguez Firm instead. Our car accident attorneys can handle all communication with insurers once you become our client.

Which Agency Investigates Car Accidents in Los Angeles?

The agency that responds to your car accident decides where you’ll get the crash report.

• LAPD. Car accidents on City of Los Angeles streets.
• California Highway Patrol (CHP). Freeway car accidents and many crashes in unincorporated parts of Los Angeles County.
• LA County Sheriff’s Department. Car accidents in cities that contract with the Sheriff, such as Pico Rivera.

Not sure which agency handled your car accident? Check the officer’s card or the report number you were given.

How to Get Your Los Angeles Car Accident Report

• LAPD. Request your car accident report online or by mail through the LAPD traffic report page.
• CHP. Fill out form CHP 190 and send it to the CHP office that handled your car accident. See CHP’s crash report page.
• Sheriff’s Department. Contact the Sheriff’s Records and Identification Bureau for your Los Angeles County car accident report.

California Car Accident Reporting Requirements: Police and DMV

• Police. If anyone was hurt or killed in a car accident, California law generally requires a report to police or CHP within 24 hours. If officers came to the scene, ask whether their report covers this.
• DMV. File an SR-1 report within 10 days of a California car accident if anyone was hurt or killed, or if property damage is over $1,000. This is required even if police made a report.

Preserving Evidence After a Los Angeles Car Accident: Photos, Video, Witnesses and Vehicle Data

Car accident evidence disappears fast. Security cameras often record over footage within days, and cars get repaired or scrapped. If you were seriously injured, you may have been unable to collect any evidence because you needed to be rushed to the ER. 

That’s why you should call The Dominguez Firm quickly. Our litigation attorneys and investigators will move quickly to collect and preserve important evidence, including video footage, accident scene photos, witness information, and all vehicle data.

Why Prompt Medical Care Matters After a Car Accident

Prompt medical care after a car accident protects your health. It also creates a record that connects your injuries to the crash. If you delay care or refuse it at the scene, the insurance company will often argue that you weren’t seriously injured or that your injuries weren’t caused by your car accident.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Los Angeles

According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), 58,758 people were killed or injured in crashes in the county in 2023. The same OTS data shows:

• 12,319 fatal and injury crashes involved speeding vehicles in 2023.
• 6,200 victims were killed or injured in alcohol-involved crashes in 2023.
• 7,398 fatal and injury crashes involved a hit-and-run driver in 2023.

These are the leading causes of most Los Angeles car accidents:

• Speeding. Higher speeds cause shorter reaction times and can lead to higher-impact crashes.
• Distracted driving. Texting, using a phone, or adjusting a screen takes a driver's eyes and attention off the road.
• Impaired driving. Alcohol, drugs, and some prescription medications slow reaction time and impair judgment.
• Running red lights and failing to yield. Intersection crashes, including left-turn and T-bone collisions, often happen when a driver doesn't give the right of way.
• Tailgating and unsafe lane changes. Following too closely or merging without checking blind spots often causes rear-end and sideswipe crashes.
• Drowsy driving. Fatigue slows reflexes much like alcohol does, especially on long commutes and late-night drives.

Dealing With Insurance Companies After a Car Accident

If you were seriously injured in a car accident, don’t take on the insurance adjusters alone. Instead, hire the car accident lawyers at The Dominguez Firm to negotiate a fair settlement.

Our car accident attorneys will handle all communication with the insurance company. Our lawyers understand their tactics and how to counter them. Our goal is always the full compensation you’re entitled to for your injuries, not what insurers want to pay. We have years of experience dealing with adjusters; most people don’t.

And if an adjuster calls you to ask for a recorded statement, don’t give it to them. They aren’t doing it to help you. Instead, they’re looking for something they can use against you. Also, no California law requires you to give them one.

What If the Other Driver Is Uninsured, Underinsured, or Leaves the Scene?

You may still have options. Your car insurance policy may include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which can cover your injuries and expenses when the other driver has low or no insurance.

If the driver fled, report the hit-and-run to the police right away and tell us about any witnesses or camera footage that could help identify them. Our attorneys will review your policy, pursue the at-fault driver where possible, and work to secure the full compensation available to you.

California Minimum Car Insurance Limits and Your Car Accident Claim

For policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, California drivers must carry at least the following car insurance:

• $30,000 for injury or death of one person
• $60,000 for injury or death of more than one person
• $15,000 for property damage

These limits are low. In California, the average cost of a hospital stay is almost $3,300 per day. If you suffered serious injuries, that could easily become a five-figure medical bill.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage After a Car Accident in California

Uninsured motorist coverage pays when the at-fault driver has no insurance. Underinsured motorist coverage pays when their insurance isn’t enough to cover your losses. 

In California, every auto policy includes this coverage unless you turned it down in writing. 

Los Angeles Hit-and-Run Car Accidents: Filing a Claim Under Your Own Policy

Yes, it's worth including, but it's taking up more room than it needs to, and a few spots in the paragraph are confusing or inaccurate.

Phantom vehicle claims are a common point of confusion for hit-and-run victims, so a short mention fits the topic. In California, uninsured motorist coverage can apply when a hit-and-run driver is never found, and the phantom vehicle scenario is the version where no contact happened. The trouble is that the section spends three paragraphs on it under a heading about hit-and-run claims, which shifts the focus away from your main point. I'd trim it to a couple of sentences or a short subsection.

Here are the issues I'd fix:

1. "For example, a driver hits another vehicle while swerving to avoid a phantom vehicle accident." The phantom vehicle is the thing being avoided, not an accident. It should read "to avoid a phantom vehicle."
2. "Phantom vehicle drivers usually don't stop." This is vague and doesn't add much. It could be cut.
3. "You still have options after a phantom vehicle hit-and-run accident." This blends two different terms. A phantom vehicle accident involves no contact, so calling it a hit-and-run muddies the distinction you set up earlier.
4. "If identified, you can file a claim against the phantom vehicle driver's insurance." This is probably the Grammarly flag. Once the driver is identified, they're no longer a phantom, so the wording contradicts itself.
5. "your car insurance or health insurance should cover your car repairs and medical bills." Car repairs are covered by collision coverage, and medical bills would typically come through medical payments coverage, uninsured motorist coverage, or health insurance. Also, uninsured motorist property damage coverage in California generally requires contact, so "should cover" overpromises for a no-contact situation. Softening it to "may cover" is safer.
6. The final sentence about the driver you hit shares blame is a separate scenario and reads like it belongs earlier, right after the swerving example.

Here's a tighter version:

Los Angeles Hit-and-Run Car Accidents: Filing a Claim Under Your Own Policy

If the driver who hit you is never found, your own uninsured motorist coverage may still pay for your car accident injuries. Your claim goes to your insurer. Generally, there must have been contact to use this coverage, with one exception.

Some crashes happen without contact. A driver might swerve to avoid a phantom vehicle and hit another car instead. These are called phantom vehicle accidents. California's sudden emergency rule protects drivers who react reasonably to a danger they didn't cause. If witnesses, dashcam video, or traffic cameras show another driver forced you to swerve, you may not be held at fault, or only partly at fault.

If the phantom vehicle driver is found, you can file a claim against their insurance. If they can’t be identified, your own policy may cover your medical bills and car repairs, depending on your coverage. If the driver you hit shares some of the blame for the car accident, for example by speeding, you may also have a claim against that driver.

Hit-and-Run Car Accident Reporting and Sworn-Statement Deadlines

For a hit-and-run car accident claim under your own policy, you generally must:

• Report the hit-and-run car accident to police within 24 hours.
• Give your insurance company a sworn statement within 30 days saying you have a claim against an unknown driver.

Missing either step can cost you your coverage. If you’re badly injured, our car accident lawyers can handle these steps for you so nothing is overlooked.

Paying Car Accident Medical Bills: Medical Payments Coverage, Health Insurance, Medi-Cal, Medicare and Liens

• Medical payments coverage. Optional coverage on your own auto insurance policy. It can help pay medical bills no matter who caused the car accident.
• Health insurance, Medi-Cal, Medicare, and Liens. These programs may pay for your car accident treatment. In most cases, these medical expenses are taken from a portion of your settlement. This repayment claim is called a medical lien. At The Dominguez Firm, we work to reduce these, so you keep more of your settlement.

Can I Get Pain and Suffering After a Car Accident if I Was Uninsured? (Proposition 213)

Under Proposition 213, drivers who were uninsured at the time of the car accident generally can’t recover pain and suffering damages. They can still recover medical bills and lost wages. Exceptions apply, so talk to an experienced car accident attorney before assuming you can’t take legal action.

How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in California?

Generally, you have two years from the date of your car accident to file a claim. If your collision involved a government agency, such as a crash with an LADWP vehicle, you usually have only six months to take legal action.

After a California car accident, you generally have three years to file a lawsuit for damage to your car or other property.

However, waiting can potentially reduce the value of your car accident claim. Even a few days’ delay can be a problem. There are several reasons for this:

• Insurance companies will question why you waited and whether your injuries were even caused by your Los Angeles car accident.

• Crucial evidence could be lost. Accident scenes get cleaned up, and surveillance videos are erased. 
• If you wait too long, you could lose contact with your eyewitnesses. People move and change their phone numbers all the time. Defense attorneys will also question an eyewitness’ recollection of events if too much time passes.

If you were injured in a car accident, call the car accident attorneys at The Dominguez Firm right away. The sooner we get involved, the sooner we can begin collecting key evidence to help you present the strongest personal injury claim.

Los Angeles Car Accident Claims Against a Government Agency

If a city, county, state, or other public agency was involved in your car accident, time is short. You only have six months to file a written claim. Each agency, such as the City of Los Angeles or the State of California, has its own forms and procedures. Our car accident attorneys and legal staff can identify the corresponding agency, prepare the claim, and file it for you.

Common Injuries After a Car Accident

Some of the most common car accident injuries can be permanent, such as:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Amputations
• Spinal cord injuries
• Facial injuries, including eye injuries

Other serious types of injuries are:

• Internal injuries
• Broken bones
• Torn ligaments

What If I Lost a Loved One in a Car Accident?

No amount of money can replace someone you love, but California law allows certain family members to seek compensation from the person responsible through a wrongful death claim.

The car accident victim’s legal next of kin are often their surviving spouse and children. If the deceased had neither, other family members such as parents or siblings may have the right to file a wrongful death claim.

Compensation can include:

• Lost financial support. The income and benefits your loved one would have provided.
• Lost household services. The value of the work they did for the family, like childcare, cooking, and home repairs.
• Loss of companionship. The love, comfort, care, and guidance you’ve lost.
• Funeral and burial expenses. The costs of final arrangements.
• Medical bills and lost income before death. Expenses and wages from the time of the accident until your loved one passed away. These are recovered through the estate.

Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the deadline can be shorter if a government vehicle was involved.

What Happens During My Car Accident Case?

When you become a client of The Dominguez Firm, we launch an investigation. Ideally, our investigators can get to the scene and gather vital evidence before it disappears. That isn't always possible, especially if you've been rushed to the hospital. Whatever the situation, our attorneys and legal team get to work right away, securing surveillance footage, locating witnesses, and preserving what's still available.

Here's what to expect once you're our client.

• Investigation. Our investigators and car accident attorneys gather the police report, photos, surveillance and traffic camera footage, witness statements, and vehicle data. We work to secure this evidence before it's lost or erased.

• • Medical treatment and documentation. You can focus on getting better. We collect your medical records, bills, and proof of lost income so your claim reflects the full impact of the car accident on your life. Our firm also has a wide network of quality professionals ready to assist you with your medical care.
  • Insurance claim. We notify the insurance company and handle all communication. Once your treatment is far enough along, we submit a detailed claim detailing what you're owed.

• Settlement negotiations. The insurer will usually respond with an offer, and we negotiate for a fair amount. We advise you on any offers; you decide whether to accept. Many cases resolve at this stage.
• Lawsuit, if needed. If the insurance company won't offer fair compensation, or the filing deadline is approaching, The Dominguez Firm will file a lawsuit on your behalf. Both sides then exchange evidence. Many cases still settle before trial. If yours doesn't, our experienced trial attorneys are ready to present your case to a judge or jury.

Can I File a Car Accident Claim if I’m Undocumented?

Yes, in California, your immigration status doesn’t bar you from filing a personal injury claim if you’re injured in a car accident. Furthermore, defense attorneys can’t take a negative action against you, such as revealing your status.

Also, your settlement or verdict must reflect your cost of living in the U.S., not your home country.

What If I Was Injured in a Car Accident While Working?

Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to file a workers’ compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault third parties, provided they are not your employer. 

For instance, if you were seriously injured in an accident with a driver who ran a red light while you were making deliveries for your employer, you likely have two claims: one for workers’ comp, since you were injured on the job, and another against the driver who caused the accident.

At The Dominguez Firm, we have our own workers’ compensation department. We can handle your car accident case and workers’ comp claim.

Why Choose The Dominguez Firm for Your Car Accident Case?

We have the resources to take on large insurance companies. We fight for the maximum compensation you're entitled to for your injuries, not what the insurance company wants to pay you.

We've served Los Angeles since 1987. Our firm has recovered over $1 billion* for our clients, with more than 100 cases worth $1 million* or more.

Our attorneys won't settle for less. Partners Jason Doucette, Tom Antunovich, and Pamela Rodriguez have secured multi-million-dollar car accident verdicts and settlements, including a recent $6.4 million settlement for a client in a disputed red light case. Insurance companies know which firms actually take cases to court, and which ones agree to less to close the file.

We're ready to fight for you in court if needed. Several of our major results have also been featured in Top Verdict magazine.

We speak your language. Hablamos Español. Many of our attorneys and our entire legal staff are bilingual. You or your loved one can get help in your preferred language right from the first call.

Our investigators are ready when you need them. Car accidents don't wait for business hours, neither do we. Our in-house investigators are available 24/7.

More Questions Regarding Car Accident Claims

I was a passenger who was injured in a car crash. Can I take legal action?

Yes. You weren’t driving, so there’s no question whether you caused the crash. You have the same right to file a personal injury claim as anyone else involved in the collision.

Does The Dominguez Firm Handle the Repair or Replacement of My Car?

Yes. Once you become our client, our property damage department works to get you and your family back on the road quickly. The team arranges your car inspection and appraisal. Then it handles the repair or replacement. That way, you and your family aren't left without transportation while your case moves forward.

Do I Need to Stay Off Social Media?

Yes. Our attorneys advise clients to stop posting on social media while their case is open. Insurance companies look through your accounts for anything they can use against you. Even an innocent post, like a photo from a family outing to cheer you up, can be twisted out of context to say your injuries aren't serious. Private accounts don't guarantee protection either, since insurers can also find information through your friends and family.
