Car Accident FAQs
What should I do right after a car accident in California?
Make sure everyone is safe, call 911, exchange info with the other driver, and take photos if you can. Always get checked by a doctor — even minor crashes can cause injuries that don’t show up right away. Then talk to a lawyer before speaking with the other driver’s insurance company.
How can a lawyer help with my car accident claim?
A lawyer can handle everything from dealing with the insurance companies to investigating fault, collecting medical records, calculating damages, and negotiating a fair settlement. We protect your rights and take the pressure off you so you can focus on recovery.
What types of compensation can I receive after a car accident?
- You may be eligible to recover costs for:
Medical bills (past and future) - Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Long-term care or rehab
- Emotional distress
Every case is different, so we’ll help determine what applies to you.
What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?
You may still be covered under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy. We can review your insurance and help you file the right kind of claim.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In California, the deadline is generally two years from the date of the crash. But it’s important to act sooner — evidence fades and insurance companies often move fast to protect themselves.
Do I really need a lawyer for a minor accident?
Not always. If there are no injuries and minimal damage, you may be fine handling it on your own. But if you’re in pain, have medical bills, or are missing work — it’s worth getting a legal opinion. We offer free consultations and will be honest with you about whether a lawyer is necessary.
How much does it cost to hire York Law?
You don’t pay anything upfront. We work on a contingency basis — meaning we only get paid if we win your case.
Self-assessment
Do I Have a Case?
If you were injured in a car accident and someone else was at fault — even partially — you may be entitled to compensation. That includes crashes involving:
- Distracted or texting drivers
- Rear-end collisions
- Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) accidents
- Speeding or reckless drivers
- Uninsured or underinsured motorists
- Dangerous road conditions
You don’t have to know all the details — that’s our job.
