What to Know About Insurance Companies

Insurance adjusters represent the insurer's interests, not yours. They may contact you quickly after an incident to obtain statements or offer a fast settlement that does not reflect the full value of your claim. Common tactics include:

  • Requesting recorded statements to use against you later
  • Offering a fast settlement before the full extent of injuries is known
  • Disputing the severity of your injuries or the need for treatment
  • Arguing you were partly at fault to reduce the payout

You are not required to speak with the other party's insurer without representation. Consulting an attorney before accepting any offer or giving any recorded statement is strongly advisable.

FAQ

Common Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident in California?
Call 911, seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor, document the scene with photos, exchange information with all drivers, and do not admit fault. Report the accident to your insurer, but consult an attorney before giving any recorded statement to the other party's insurer.
What if the other driver does not have insurance?
California law requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance, but uninsured drivers remain common. Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply. We can evaluate all potential sources of recovery in your case.
How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in California?
The general deadline is two years from the date of the accident under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Claims against government entities carry a six-month administrative claim deadline. Acting promptly protects your right to recover.
