How Long Does It Take to Settle a Car Accident Case in California?
The time it takes to settle a car accident case in California depends on how complicated it is. Simple claims with straightforward liability could settle fairly quickly, while cases involving severe injuries, such as a traumatic brain injury that requires long-term medical care, or disputes over fault could take an extensive period. Settlement negotiations, medical treatment timelines, and insurance company responses can all affect the length of your case. Our team can help move the process along.
What if the At-Fault Driver Doesn’t Have Insurance?
If the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance, you could be compensated through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. This type of insurance is designed to protect you in these circumstances. However, if you don’t have this kind of insurance, our team can explore other avenues of compensation to make sure you have the financial support you need.
What Should I Do if the Other Driver Admits Fault at the Scene?
Even if the other driver admits fault at the scene, it’s important not to rely on their statement. Fault can still be disputed by insurance companies. Thoroughly document the accident, gather witness information, and report the incident to the police. Our team can make sure their admission is properly documented and use it to strengthen your car accident claim.
Can I Still Recover Compensation if I Was Partially at Fault for the Accident?
Yes, you can still recover compensation if you were partially at fault for the accident. Corona, California follows pure comparative negligence rules, meaning you can be assigned a percentage of responsibility for your part in the accident. Later, your compensation is then reduced by that same percentage. Our team works to minimize the percentage of blame placed on you to maximize your compensation.

Robert R.
Mark helped me recover all my expenses due to my car accident. The insurance company tried to slow the process and doubted that I was even injured. Mark fought for me and gave me peace of mind. I felt like I had an army on my side since his staff worked tirelessly for me. They got the insurance company off my back and helped me get back on my feet faster than I expected.
April F.
Mark did a fantastic job for me when I slipped in a restaurant. I owner had the nerve to claim it was my heels, when clearly the floor was damaged and caused me to fall. He tried to make himself look like the victim of a scam. Mark put an end to that real fast. He took control of everything for me. He helped me get my medical costs paid as well as compensation for the lost time at work.
