CALIFORNIA CAR ACCIDENT LAWS

California car crashes can be simple fender-benders that damage your vehicle and hurt your pride. They can also be devastating crashes that result in substantial property damage, life-long severe injuries, or even death. If you or someone you love has been in an accident in California, chances are you're worried about where the responsibilities might lie. To figure this out, it helps to begin by understanding California car accident laws, your role in reporting the accident, and what might happen if the accident leads to some legal action. Read on to find out what you need to know about car accident laws in California.

What Are The Requirements For Car Insurance In California?

California car accident laws can be confusing, especially since California is a comparative negligence state. We'll get into the concerns about fault later on this page. Now, let's start by looking at what you should have well before any accident occurs – car insurance.

The Minimum Requirements For Car Insurance In California

If your vehicle is registered in California, you must prove that you have the financial responsibility to recoup someone's losses if you get into a car accident. There are a few ways to do this, but most find it easiest to do it by obtaining insurance.

California's minimum requirements for car insurance are set forth by California Vehicle Code §16056. This requires the following coverage in the event of a car accident in California or elsewhere:

$15,000 for injury or death to one person,

$30,000 for injury or death to more than one person, and

$5,000 to cover property damage.

This is also known as 15/30/5 coverage. You are required to carry a valid proof of insurance with you while you are in your vehicle. You must provide that proof if it is requested by law enforcement, you are involved in a car crash, or you are renewing your vehicle registration. If you can't provide proof of insurance when asked, you can face various consequences. In most cases, these consequences take the form of fines. But if you are in a California car crash, you might lose your license if you don't have proof of insurance coverage. Let's be honest: The 15/30/5 rule is a bare minimum of coverage. Consider property damage – getting into a car accident in California can easily result in property damage much more expensive than anything $5,000 can cover. That's one of the reasons why car insurance companies in California are required to offer underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage.

Top of Form

What Is Underinsured Or Uninsured Coverage?

California Insurance Code §11580.2 offers motorists the option of purchasing insurance policies that cover them if they are in a car crash with someone who has no insurance or carries the minimum. You don't have to get this insurance, but if you decline it, you must state that in writing. Remember that uninsured motorist coverage pays for the costs of bodily injury to you and those in the car but only up to the limit of your liability coverage. So if you have the 15/30/5 minimum, the uninsured motorist protection only reaches that 15/30/5 threshold. That still might not be enough to cover the injuries in a car crash in California or anywhere else. Underinsured motorist coverage is a bit more robust, as it stacks onto the insurance the other person has. If they have a minimum of $5,000 property damage liability and your vehicle needs repairs that total $8,000, your underinsured motorist insurance can cover that difference of $3,000.

Other Types Of California Car Insurance Coverage

Because the 15/30/5 coverage is pretty thin, even more coverage options are available to help you avoid the consequences of California car accident laws. Consider getting protection against a California car crash through these additional policies:

Medical Payments Coverage – This protects you against high medical bills due to a covered accident.

Collision Coverage – This coverage kicks in to protect you when there is a California car crash with another vehicle

Comprehension Coverage – This covers everything else that could happen to your vehicle, such as a tree falling on it after a storm or damage sustained during an earthquake

Theft Coverage – if someone steals your vehicle or even an integral part of your vehicle, this insurance covers you.

On the other hand, there are ways to avoid car insurance coverage altogether. For example, California Vehicle Code §16002 allows you to show proof of financial responsibility by depositing $35,000 cash to the DMV, obtaining a surety bond of at least $35,000 from a company licensed in California, or getting a self-insurance certificate from the DMV. However, remember that your financial responsibilities after a California car crash can go much further than this, which is why insurance is still your best option.

California Car Accident Laws Require Reporting

If you suffer an accident in California, you must stop at the scene. If someone needs medical assistance, try to render the proper aid. Call 911 immediately in the event of bodily injury or death as a result of the car crash. If you leave the scene without checking on others who were involved in the accident, you could be charged with a hit-and-run, which turns what would have been a straightforward accident into a legal nightmare.

If you do not need to call 911 or get the authorities involved immediately, there are other obligations. If you are involved in a California car crash, you are legally obligated to report it if the property damage exceeds $1,000 and/or if there is any personal injury. According to California Vehicle Code § 20008, you must report the accident to the authorities within 24 hours. Your insurance company or your attorney can also report it for you.

When you fill out the accident report under California car accident laws, you must include the following:

Your personal information

The names and addresses of all persons involved who have bodily injury

Date, time, and location of the accident

Personal information of all drivers, including birth date and license information

Insurance information for all drivers

An explanation of the damages and/or injuries

If you do not complete this form or do not have the proper insurance at the time of the accident, you might lose your driving privileges for a while

Understanding The Statute Of Limitations For Car Accidents In California

After a California car crash, you must file a legal claim within a certain time. If you have property damage, you must file a claim three years from the accident date. If you have a bodily injury due to the accident, you have two years from the accident to file your claim. There are some reasons why that statute of limitations can be extended: if the defendant is imprisoned or can't be located, if the victim was minor or disabled at the time of the accident, or if there is a reasonable delay in discovering the accident-related injury. Your attorney can help you determine if any of these exceptions apply to your case and how much time you have under the statute of limitations. What if you believe your accident was caused by the state, county, or local city's negligence? For example, what if you suffered an accident when your vehicle was damaged by a pothole or obstruction in the road that could only be fixed by the highway department? In a case like this, it's a good idea to hire a car accident attorney to handle an administrative claim, and you must file within 180 days. To learn more about this special type of filing, read California Government Code §911.2 or get in touch with us today to learn more about your reporting requirements and rights.

Understanding California Accident Fault Laws

California is a comparative fault state. That means anyone involved in a California car crash can be held financially responsible for the harm caused by accident. Victims can still get compensation for their damages even if they contributed to the accident. When more than one person is involved in an accident, they will be held responsible for their degree of fault. However, if one person is fully responsible for the accident, they might not be able to get compensation. But what sort of compensation are we talking about? California car accident laws clarify that those who suffer personal injury can recover economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are those that can be verified somehow. These can include medical bills, lost earnings, property replacement or repair costs, and more. These economic damages can often be proven with receipts or bills. Non-economic damages are more subjective. These damages can include financial compensation for pain and suffering, inconvenience, loss of companionship or consortium, and more. However, you can't recover anything for non-economic damages if you didn't have insurance at the time of the accident or if you have been convicted of a DUI.

Get A California Car Crash Attorney Today

Getting into a car accident can be frightening, inconvenient, or even deadly. It can be even more nerve-wracking when you don't fully understand California car accident laws. That's why it's so important to speak with an experienced car crash attorney from McCrary law firm who can examine all the evidence, answer your questions, and guide you toward the best route for your particular situation. As every accident is very different and California accident fault laws can be quite confusing, you'll need someone well-versed in the law to walk you through what comes next.

HOW MUCH IS A DOG BITE CASE WORTH IN CALIFORNIA?

While dogs make great companions, they are still animals, and a bite or assault from "man's best friend" might leave you with severe injuries and a trip to the hospital. Dog attacks and bites can inflict serious physical harm and lead to high medical expenditures and a considerable decrease in quality of life due to the trauma the victim experiences. In addition, dog owners are held legally liable for their pet's behavior; therefore, you can sue them for compensation if you suffer an injury resulting from a dog bite.

The amount you might expect to get in a settlement for a dog bite depends on several factors in your case. First, you must hire an expert attorney to help claim the entire worth of your losses, as it might become complicated to do so on your own.

What Laws In California Govern Dog Bite Settlements?

Dog bites are governed by Section 3342 of the California Civil Code. Dog owners face severe liability under the law if their pet causes injury to a person. Unless the victim provoked the dog, the owner is liable for any injuries sustained due to the attack.

Under the law of strict responsibility, a dog's owner is legally accountable for any harm their pet causes, regardless of whether the dog has ever displayed aggressive tendencies. However, the "strict responsibility" rule does not cover the following situations.

If the victim was a trespasser

If the victim shares in the blame

If the dog is part of the law enforcement

The victim knew the risk involved

California law allows you to file a lawsuit regardless of whether the attack is mild or severe.

What Is The Statute Of Limitations For A Dog Bite In California?

When filing a claim against the dog's owner, you have two years from the bite incident. Therefore, the victim should file the case as soon as possible while the damage, evidence, and witness memories remain fresh. If your dog bite complaint is not filed within two years after the incident, the court will likely not accept the case without ever hearing the facts.

How Do State Dog Bite Laws Influence The Value Of A Case?

State laws regarding dog bites vary widely. As a result, the value of a case can be affected by how strict these regulations are in holding dog owners accountable for injuries caused by their pets. Most pressing legal concerns include:

Whether or not the state will apply the negligence standard to hold the owner liable (i.e., whether or not strict responsibility will be used).

In terms of how the state's personal injury laws deal with a shared fault.

State Liability Laws

There are two types of State liability laws;

Strict liability laws, and

The "one bite rule."

Many states use the strict liability model of the California dog bite law. These laws make the dog's owner financially liable for any damages their pet causes, regardless of whether the owner was without fault. Owners are held responsible for dog attacks even if they had no idea they were happening and took all necessary precautions to avoid them.

One-bite laws are in effect in certain states. In some states, dog owners can be held liable for attacks only if they were aware of their dog's dangerous tendencies or should have been. The "one bite rule" derives its name from the fact that previous dog bites are usually the most compelling and widely available evidence in such cases. The owner will undoubtedly be aware of the dog's viciousness if it has bitten someone or if there are records at animal control outlining its violent conduct.

States with strict liability laws may award more compensation for identical dog bite incidents. In certain states, it makes no difference whether or not the dog's owner is aware of the threat their pet poses to others. The dog's owner can't use that as an excuse to dodge liability. The case would be easier to win without this defense. This may be reflected in higher settlement offers as a result.

Shared Fault Rules

In most cases, a single party is not to blame for an accident. However, the defendant bears less responsibility when the injured party was also at fault for what happened that led to their injury. Shared blame in an accident is dealt with in one of three ways under personal injury law:

Contributory negligence

Pure comparative negligence

Modified comparative negligence

The victim could not seek compensation if they were partially at fault for the dog bite, as in states like Virginia that apply contributory negligence. Dog bite victims in California apply pure comparative negligence and will have their awards reduced by their amount of blame. Compensation may be reduced if the owner can prove that the victim provoked the dog. The insurance company will use proof of shared fault to coerce the victim into accepting a lesser settlement.

Dog Bite Compensation Variables

When it comes to dog attacks, California does not adhere to the one-bite rule. Instead, it would allow an individual to seek compensation for their medical bills even if the animal was a docile pet up to the assault.

If a dog bites you and the attack occurs in a public area or on the dog owner's property (and you were invited there), the dog owner is responsible for your medical bills and other damages. Damage claims cannot be made by anybody who was proven to trespass on the dog owner's property at the time of the attack.

When their dog bites or attacks a person, California dog owners cannot claim they didn't know their dog was dangerous. Likewise, they can't use the fact that they didn't realize the animal was hostile or that it may harm a human as an excuse for not preparing a proper defense. Many other states still abide by the "one free bite" law, but not this one. As a result, the dog's owner is still liable for any injuries caused by the animal, even if the owner took reasonable precautions to prevent the bite from happening, such as using a leash or other form of restraint.

How Much Can I Get From A Dog Bite Settlement?

Some dog bite victims will receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation, while others will receive almost nothing after suffering similar injuries. Unfortunately, it is hard to put a figure you will receive until an investigation begins, as this sum depends heavily on the insurance policy.

Dogs are wonderful pets because they provide their owners joy, peace of mind, and affection. However, when they become furious or feel threatened, they can explode into an uncontrolled rage that has devastating consequences. A dog bite injury can be very painful and often results in a lifelong scar for the victim. A homeowner's insurance coverage and other criteria will determine how much compensation can be received after an attack.

While the exact amount a successful plaintiff receives in a settlement depends on the specifics of their case, according to the Insurance Information Institute, dog bite injury cases constitute one-third of all homeowner's insurance liability policy claims due to bodily harm. In addition, dog bite claims in 2007 resulted in settlements and jury judgments totaling more than $356 million. According to 2019 data, California led the United States in the number of claims in 2018 (2,166), and the average cost per claim, at $45,543 in 2018. This amounted to more than $98.6 million. According to data compiled by Triple-I and State Farm, two of the country's largest home insurance carriers, almost $900 million was paid out in 2021 to resolve dog-related claims. There were 17,989 claims for dog bites, costing an average of $49,025. You can get compensation for the following losses:

Medical Expenses: A doctor should check out your injury. As one might expect, this treatment doesn't come cheap and can put a severe dent in one's finances. However, if you win in court, your settlement check will include reimbursement for any costs incurred due to your treatment at a hospital.

Lost Wages: Your ability to go about daily life and do even the simplest of duties may be severely affected after a severe dog bite or attack. You can seek damages for lost earnings if the injury prevents you from working.

Pain and Suffering: Cases involving dog bites can leave victims with long-lasting emotional scars. Because of the injury, you may find it challenging to resume your previous way of life, but you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Disability Benefits: Irrational behavior stemming from an animal's natural instincts can quickly turn a once-friendly creature into a vicious predator. You can get disability benefits in your settlement if you are permanently handicapped due to injuries sustained from a dog bite.

You should expect the insurance company to write a check for your situation based on their assessment of the level of injury you sustained. Unfortunately, the lack of empathy on their part will lead to them making assumptions about the severity of your injuries and maybe trying to reduce the compensation you receive. Your suffering is unique, and you deserve just compensation for it.

What Factors Affect An Average Dog Bite Settlement

While many people are curious about the typical cost of a dog bite settlement, there is no exact figure. In California, the amount you receive for injuries caused by a dog may depend on several circumstances. A reasonable compensation can be determined with the use of this information by your personal injury attorney.

Severity Of Injuries

Bite wounds from dogs can be mild or severe. Below are some specifics to think about when assessing your injuries:

The amount of blood loss resulting from the attack

Whether any disease was transmitted

The location of the bite

The dog breed

Whether the dog bit through the skin

Nerve damage

Dismemberment as a result of the dog bite or amputations to treat it

Your settlement might be more significant than California's state-wide median for dog bites if your injuries were particularly severe. In addition, your claim's value will decrease depending on your injuries' severity. Your attorney will consider all of these aspects while determining the extent of your injuries.

Victim's Age

It is common practice to consider the victim's age in dog bite cases. For instance, adults often do not tease dogs since they know the repercussions of doing so. And if a dog were to bite, adults would have a greater chance of defending themselves. Conversely, children are typically helpless in the face of an aggressive animal. Children are particularly vulnerable to the physical and psychological consequences of dog bites. This is why insurance claims settlements for dog bites typically favor small children.

Long-Term Effects

A dog bite can cause long-term physical damage. For instance, a vicious bite on the face might cause permanent disfigurement. In addition, the effects of such an accident on your daily life might be devastating.

Scarring Or Disfigurement

Permanent scarring or disfigurement from a dog bite also results in larger payouts. These scars, however little, might be a continual reminder of what you went through. Social shame and isolation can result, especially for children or if the scarring is obvious and difficult to conceal. In addition, because of the potential for extreme emotional discomfort, significant emotional discomfort might result from this.

Whether You Trespassed

Based on California dog bite law, you might expect a lower compensation offer if you were trespassing at the time of the attack. The California dog biting law does not apply to trespassers. This law imposes severe liability exclusively on property owners in cases when a dog bites a lawfully present guest. In addition, you would have to show that the owner's carelessness led to your injuries if you were hurt while trespassing.

Trespassers are more likely to be found partially at fault by juries regardless of whether they entered a public or private space. Damage awards may be reduced as a result of comparative fault statutes.

The Dog's Aggressive History

If there's proof that the dog's owner was aware of the animal's aggressive history, the compensation sum may be increased accordingly. In addition, dog owners may increase settlement offers because of the risk of paying punitive damages in a court trial following a dog bite.

Mental Or Emotional Trauma, Like A New Fear Of Dogs

As a result of dog attacks, you can develop a fear of them. You may avoid your friends and relatives who have pets because you fear them.

Animal attacks can do more harm than only physical harm. Many also struggle with emotional pain and post-traumatic stress disorder. The sight of a dog can trigger a terrible emotional crisis in some people. California has a lot of dog owners, so you could have some unpleasant run-ins with their pets.

What Do You Need To Prove In A Dog Bite Case?

You can file a lawsuit for damages if you are bitten in a public or legally private area. The right to be on private property does not extend to the general public but does include those with legal duties, such as postal carriers and delivery staff. In addition, if a dog bites a person by the skin but does not puncture the flesh, the victim can still make a dog bite claim.

Victims of dog bites may be barred from suing owners under certain circumstances. For example, when a police or military dog is on duty protecting a citizen from criminals, the victim cannot pursue a claim unless they are an innocent bystander. Likewise, if a veterinarian or veterinary assistant gets bitten by a dog while treating the animal, they cannot bring charges against the owner.

California's comparative negligence law covers injuries caused by dogs. If you provoke the animal into attacking, you can expect a reduction in your compensation according to your share of the blame.

Does Insurance Cover Dog Bites?

Insurance against injuries caused by dog attacks is optional for dog owners. Many dog owners prefer not to carry dog bite insurance because of the increased expense caused by the "opt-in" option on homeowner's and renter's policies. In addition, the insurance premium for a dog of a "dangerous" breed, such as a German shepherd, Doberman pinscher, husky, or pit bull, is relatively high, and the owner may be denied coverage altogether.

Steps To Take Following A Dog Bite

Dog attacks can be chaotic and violent, primarily if many dogs attack the victim. If the victim survives the attack, the victim will most likely suffer superficial wounds such as puncture wounds, scratches, or crush injuries. In addition, dog bite victims may need rabies vaccines or other preventative measures if the dog is not up-to-date on its immunizations. Dog bites can result in puncture wounds, which may be excruciatingly painful and take weeks to heal. Getting medical help after a dog attack is important.

Seek Medical Attention

The victim should get medical help immediately, whether calling 911 at the scene of the accident or going to the doctor afterward. Health should be the main priority. Dog bites can cause everything from mild to severe injuries, so it's advisable to be checked immediately after the incident.

Gather Information

It's important to write down the following information before filing a report;

The name and contact of the dog owner

The type of dog breed

The description of the dog

Ensure to take pictures and videos of any important information

Report The Dog Bite

Dog bites are serious and should be reported to the proper authorities for everyone's protection. The standard protocol for determining whether or not a dog has rabies after a bite is to quarantine for ten days. It is essential that the victim contact animal control as part of the claim documentation.

Contact A Dog Bite Attorney

Legal representation is not always necessary when filing a dog bite claim; however, getting an insurance company to pay up without legal representation can be difficult.

The compensation the victim gets may vary greatly depending on several factors unique to the accident. An experienced dog bite attorney can ensure that all of the case details are being taken into account, such as the cost of any necessary cosmetic procedures in the future.

What Is The Settlement Process In A Dog Bite Case?

The victim and the dog's owner will have to have a series of conversations to reach a settlement in a dog bite lawsuit. It can start immediately after the bite and continue until the jury issues its judgment.

Negotiations can commence when an insurance company for the dog's owner makes a first settlement offer. This proposal will be appealing since it will reimburse the victim for the current medical bills. But unfortunately, it won't pay for ongoing healthcare costs or other losses. If the victim doesn't accept the initial payment offer, the lawyer can send a demand letter to the dog owner or their insurance company to keep the negotiations going. A Demand Letter

informs them of the victim's current predicament

gives them notice that the victim is thinking about taking legal action against them.

When a demand letter fails to provide a satisfactory settlement, the next step is to file a lawsuit. The discovery process begins when the complaint is filed and the defendant is served. As more information is gathered, settlement negotiations will speed up. As the case progresses, the dog's owner or insurance provider could make several proposals. Both parties can reach a settlement without going to trial. However, the case will go to trial if no fair settlement is reached. However, attorneys might make settlement proposals for the dog owner and the insurance company before and during the trial. Events like these are possible up until the jury announces its judgment.
