When to File a Lawsuit after an Orange County Auto Accident

Posted By SCOTT D. HUGHES || 9-Dec-2022

As an auto accident lawyer in Orange County, California, I understand the challenges and complexities of pursuing a car accident claim. Whether you were injured or lost a loved one in a crash, the aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming and stressful.

One of the biggest decisions you will face after a car accident is whether to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for your damages. Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether to file a lawsuit:

  • The severity of your injuries: If you were seriously injured in a car accident, you may need to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • The amount of damages: If the responsible party's insurance company does not offer a fair settlement that covers your damages, you may need to file a lawsuit to seek the compensation you deserve.
  • The complexity of the case: If your car accident claim is complicated, for example if there are multiple parties involved or if fault is disputed, you may need to file a lawsuit to clarify the issues and establish liability.
  • The deadlines: In California, there are strict deadlines for filing a car accident lawsuit. If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation for your damages.

Overall, if you or a loved one has been involved in a car accident in Orange County, California, it is important to consult with an experienced auto accident lawyer to determine whether filing a lawsuit is the best course of action. We can provide valuable guidance and representation throughout the legal process. Contact us today!
