In one case, the client signed up with us. But after she signed up with us, her mother told her to change attorneys to a Korean attorney she was good friends with. She reluctantly switched attorneys. The new attorney failed to get a settlement offer and dropped her case. She returned to us, and we settled the case at the full 100% value.
In another case, a prominent personal injury attorney called Mr. Kaufman and told him he had a case in which the insurance company offered a very low amount. The prominent personal injury attorney had a bad relationship with the defense attorney and asked Mr. Kaufman if he would take the case. Mr. Kaufman agreed. Mr. Kaufman made one phone call to the defense attorney and settled the case for significantly more money. .\.
In a third case, the police report said our client was at fault. The other party’s insurance company refused to make any settlement offer. We filed a lawsuit. The police officer testified that our client was at fault. On cross-examination, Mr. Kaufman was able to get the police officer to admit he made a mistake. The police officer changed his testimony on cross-examination saying Mr. Kaufman’s client was not at fault. We recovered a large sum of money.
Car Accident Statistics in Los Angeles County
Understanding the Freeway and Traffic Conditions Behind High Collision Rates
Los Angeles County remains the highest-ranking region for traffic accidents in California due to its extensive freeway network and high population density. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation’s Vision Zero Safety Study (2024–2025 Update), approximately 653 traffic-related fatalities were recorded in Los Angeles County in 2024.
Major freeways such as I-405, I-10, and US-101 are particularly prone to high-speed collisions and multi-vehicle pileups due to heavy congestion and frequent merging. Additional collision data published by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) SWITRS Annual Statistical Report shows that stop-and-go traffic, distracted driving, and complex freeway interchanges significantly contribute to rear-end collisions and peak-hour “fender benders” across Southern California.
Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents in California
Answers to Common Legal Questions About Insurance, Fault, and Filing Deadlines
After a car accident, even small decisions can impact your insurance claim and potential recovery.
These frequently asked questions provide straightforward answers grounded in California law and real-world legal experience.
As of January 1, 2025, California significantly increased the minimum liability limits for the first time in decades. For any accident in 2026, the following 30/60/15 minimum limits apply:
- $30,000 for bodily injury or death to one person.
- $60,000 for total bodily injury or death per accident (if multiple people are hurt).
- $15,000 for property damage.
- Note: These higher limits mean victims can now recover more substantial settlements from at-fault drivers’ policies than in previous years.
Yes. California follows a Pure Comparative Negligence system. This means you can recover damages even if you and the other driver were both at fault. Your total compensation is simply reduced.
Example: If your total damages are $100,000 and you are found 20% at fault for speeding, you will still receive $80,000 from the other driver.
The Statute of Limitations is strict. If you miss these deadlines, you lose your right to sue forever:
- Personal Injury: 2 years from the date of the accident (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1).
- Property Damage Only: 3 years from the date of the accident.
- Government Claims: If you were hit by a city vehicle (e.g., a Metro bus or police car), you must file a formal administrative claim within 6 months.
Yes, under CVC § 16000, you or your attorney must file an SR-1 Report within 10 days if:
- Anyone was injured (even slightly) or killed.
- Property damage to any one person exceeds $1,000.
- Warning: Failure to report to the DMV can result in a suspension of your driver’s license, regardless of who caused the accident.
Approximately 17% of California drivers are uninsured. If you are hit by an uninsured driver, you have two primary options:
- Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage: If you have this on your own policy, your insurance company “steps into the shoes” of the at-fault driver to pay your medical bills and lost wages.
- Personal Assets: You can sue the driver personally, though many uninsured drivers lack the assets to pay a large judgment.
Insurance adjusters are trained to ask “trap” questions. They may use your words to shift fault onto you or downplay your injuries. You are not legally required to give a recorded statement to the other party’s insurance company. Always consult with your attorney before discussing the accident with anyone.
