    Rental Car Accidents in Los Angeles

    The best way to get around Los Angeles is by driving a car, especially for the many tourists who visit the city. This is why it has one of the largest rental car markets—and, unfortunately, why traffic collisions involving out-of-state drivers are more common here than in most other places.

    If you were injured in one of the rental car accidents in Los Angeles, you may find it difficult to seek financial recovery for your injuries without the assistance of an attorney. Fortunately, you have help available to you from our experienced auto accident lawyers at Levin & Nalbandyan. We could work tirelessly on your behalf to maximize the restitution available through insurance claims and third-party litigation.

    What Insurance Coverage Do Rental Car Companies Provide After Wrecks?

    Rental car companies cannot rent a vehicle to a customer without first confirming they have a valid driver’s license. However, they are not required by law to ensure that renters have a personal auto insurance policy. The first step when seeking compensation for a car crash in Los Angeles is to determine what insurance coverage the rental company holds for their vehicle and what add-on coverage the renter purchased.

    Often, this process entails contacting multiple insurance companies and examining the fine print of the insurance policies, as well as evaluating what types of losses to recover for and which companies may seek reimbursement for certain expenses. Navigating this complex network of private contracts and state law is one of many aspects of the case process that our attorneys could assist with.

    Holding an Out-of-State Driver Liable for a Rental Car Crash

    Another possible complication in Los Angeles rental car accident claims is if one or more of the drivers involved reside out of state. In terms of legal jurisdiction, the laws and courts of the county or state where a crash occurred are the ones that will apply to ensuing civil proceedings, regardless of where anyone involved in the incident lives.

    When it comes to recovery through private insurance, each state may have different mandatory coverage minimums from those applicable to California drivers, and some may even allow people to drive without any formal auto insurance policy. Navigating these challenges could be much easier with support from our dedicated legal team.

    More on Personal Injury Law

    Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.
    While you are not required to have an attorney to file a claim, having an attorney can make a significant difference in your claim. A personal injury attorney has a deep understanding of the claims process and can help you navigate the complexities of the law. Your attorney can also help you level the playing field with insurers and can tell you whether you are receiving the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.
    If you have been injured in an accident that was no fault of your own, there are steps you should take to ensure you are compensated for costs related to the incident. Taking quick action after your accident can profoundly affect your personal injury claim or lawsuit. After being involved in an accident, you should: Seek medical attention for your injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent. Keep a record of your injuries and note any complications that arise because of your injuries. Report the incident as soon as possible after it occurs. Record detailed descriptions and notes about the facts of the incident. Keep receipts of medication and medical care you received Contact an experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can help you navigate your claim.
    Not all personal injury claims make it to court. In fact, a majority of injury cases are settled without having to litigate. What’s the difference between a settlement and going to trial? What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.
    In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity. If the injury is not immediately known, you have one year from the date the injury is discovered. If you’ve suffered injuries from an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should act quickly to ensure you are able to recover compensation for your losses.

    Notifying Insurance Companies

    You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.
