Driver Negligence & Accident Liability
California is a "fault state," which means it must be determined that one driver is at fault in an accident for liability insurance to provide coverage to anyone hurt. Sometimes this negligence is hard to establish—other times, it may be obvious. When fault is disputed, our firm is ready to collect the appropriate evidence and testimony to substantiate liability.
Examples of driver negligence include:
- Speeding
- Drunk driving
- Distracted driving
- Driving while fatigued
- Turning or merging without signaling
- Drifting out of lane/onto road shoulder
- Tailgating
"Will Insurance Cover Me?"
California does require that all registered drivers carry liability insurance which should provide some coverage to victims if the policyholder is determined to be at fault in an accident. However, a majority of drivers carry minimum liability insurance which doesn't always cover the resulting damages in an accident—especially serious accidents.
Additionally, insurance companies are often resistant to relinquish appropriate coverage of any kind, regardless of existing liability coverage. It often takes no-nonsense negotiation with these companies and an assertion of the facts to ensure that accident victims receive coverage that is appropriate for the extent of their injuries. The Law Offices Of Benjamin Arsenian PC can enter these negotiations for our clients in these cases and bring insurance companies to court when necessary.
