Where You Injured in an Auto Collision?

Every year, thousands of Americans are killed in car accidents caused by another driver’s negligence and recklessness. Many more, however, are left injured and in debt from medical bills, the cost of ongoing treatment, and many other expenses. At SM Law Group, APC, our attorneys believe those injured in car accidents should hold responsible parties accountable for their injuries by seeking fair and just compensation.

Insurance companies are in the business of making money, not paying it out. That’s why you need a car accident attorney in Los Angeles who can aggressively pursue your interests if it involves seeking compensation from an insurance provider and/or the other driver. Since 2011, SM Law Group, APC has helped Los Angeles drivers get what they were owed after becoming injured in a car accident.

Does It Matter Who’s at Fault in a Car Accident?

California is a no-fault state, which means a judge or jury in your case will examine the evidence and arguments to determine how much fault the defendant and plaintiff share for the accident.

That means that even if you’re bringing the personal injury lawsuit forward as a plaintiff, you can be assigned a certain percentage of fault for your own negligence and actions. Consequently, how much fault the court believes you own in an accident can affect how much you can recover from the defendant.
