Tulare County Car Accidents and Personal Injury Claims
California law follows the principle of comparative negligence. This means that even if a driver is found partially at fault for an accident, they may still pursue compensation if the negligence of another party, such as a road hazard or defective vehicle equipment, contributed to the crash. Investigators with California law enforcement examine factors such as roadway conditions and vehicle condition to determine what role outside factors may have played.
The driver injured in this collision may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim. A personal injury claim can provide compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident.
