After a car accident, it’s essential to ensure your safety and seek medical attention if needed. You should also document the scene by taking photos and exchanging information with the other driver. Kostiv Cardinal can guide you through the legal steps that follow, including dealing with insurance companies and filing a personal injury claim.

Yes, California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your level of responsibility. Kostiv Cardinal will work to minimize your liability and maximize the compensation you receive.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Kostiv Cardinal will help you evaluate your losses and pursue the maximum compensation for your case.

In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the accident. Kostiv Cardinal will ensure your claim is filed within the required time frame to preserve your right to compensation.

Proving fault requires evidence such as witness statements, police reports, and traffic camera footage. Kostiv Cardinal will conduct a thorough investigation, gather all necessary evidence, and build a strong case to prove the other driver’s negligence.

In most cases, the first settlement offer from the insurance company is lower than what you may be entitled to. Kostiv Cardinal will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure you receive a fair settlement that fully covers your losses.

Yes, if the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, you may be able to file a claim under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Kostiv Cardinal will explore all available avenues to secure the compensation you need.

If your injuries are severe and result in long-term or permanent disability, you may be entitled to additional compensation for future medical care, rehabilitation, and loss of earning capacity. Kostiv Cardinal will help you document the extent of your injuries and pursue appropriate compensation.

At Kostiv Cardinal, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay us unless we win your case. This allows you to focus on your recovery while we handle the legal aspects of your case.

If your claim is denied, you still have legal options. Kostiv Cardinal will review the denial, determine the best course of action, and file a lawsuit if necessary to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

Yes, in addition to physical injuries, you may be able to recover compensation for emotional distress, anxiety, and trauma caused by the accident. Kostiv Cardinal will help you include these factors in your personal injury claim.

Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping you recover the compensation you deserve, so you can focus on healing.
