Every car accident has a story, but that story needs evidence. Whether it’s a distracted driver checking their phone or someone blowing through a red light, understanding the root cause is the first step in building a strong personal injury claim. In California, liability hinges on proving fault. That means identifying how the crash happened, who broke the rules of the road, and what could have been done to prevent it. Below are some of the most common and preventable causes of collisions across the state.
The most common causes include:
California follows a “fault” system. The at-fault party’s insurance company is responsible for damages. This includes vehicle repairs, medical bills, and other financial losses. However, the minimum liability coverage required by law is just $15,000 per person often far too little for serious injuries.
If the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own UM/UIM coverage may be the next line of defense, if you have it.
Depending on the severity of the crash, compensation may include:
Insurance companies will look for any reason to minimize your payout especially if you delay treatment, give inconsistent statements, or don’t have legal representation. A skilled personal injury attorney will build your case, gather evidence, negotiate with adjusters, and take the case to court if needed.
At The Injury Partners, we offer aggressive representation backed by compassion and experience. We understand what’s at stake and will fight to secure the compensation you deserve.
We operate on a contingency fee basis — you don’t pay unless we win your case.
