A car accident can change your life in seconds — and the insurance company starts building its case against you just as fast.

Injured in a Los Angeles Car Accident?
Los Angeles drivers regularly encounter congested freeways, crowded intersections, distracted motorists, rideshare vehicles, delivery trucks, pedestrians, bicyclists, and sudden traffic slowdowns. A single careless decision can lead to a serious or fatal collision.
Even an accident that initially appears minor may cause lasting injuries. Symptoms of whiplash, concussion, spinal damage, or soft-tissue trauma may not fully develop until hours or days after the crash.
After an accident, an insurance adjuster may contact you quickly. The adjuster may sound helpful, but the insurance company's goal is to limit what it pays. Our Los Angeles car accident attorneys can handle the insurance process while you focus on your health and recovery.
Cases We Handle
Types of Car Accident Claims
Royal Capital Law Group represents clients in many types of motor vehicle accident claims throughout Los Angeles and California.
Rear-End Collisions
These frequently happen when a driver follows too closely, becomes distracted, or fails to respond to slowing traffic. Even low-speed impacts can cause whiplash, back injuries, concussions, and shoulder damage.
Intersection Accidents
Intersections are common locations for serious collisions. Crashes may result from running a red light, failing to stop, unsafe turns, or distracted driving. Traffic cameras and witness accounts help establish fault.
Head-On Collisions
These crashes often result in catastrophic or fatal injuries because the combined force of both vehicles is concentrated at the point of impact. Causes include impaired driving, fatigue, unsafe passing, and distraction.
T-Bone & Side-Impact
Occupants on the impacted side have limited protection, increasing the risk of head injuries, broken bones, internal organ damage, and spinal trauma. These collisions often occur at intersections.
Highway & Freeway Accidents
Crashes on the 405, 101, 10, 110, and other LA-area freeways may involve high speeds and multiple vehicles. Determining responsibility requires reviewing driver actions, vehicle data, and dashcam footage.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
A driver who leaves the scene may be difficult to identify, but compensation may still be available through surveillance video, dashcam footage, witness statements, and your own uninsured motorist coverage.
Drunk & Distracted Driving
Impaired and distracted driving accidents are preventable and may cause devastating injuries. Phone records, app activity, and electronic vehicle data can establish whether distraction or impairment contributed to the crash.
Rideshare & Commercial Vehicles
Accidents involving Uber, Lyft, delivery drivers, or company vehicles may include multiple insurance policies. We identify all available coverage for passengers, drivers, and other affected parties.

Step-by-Step Guide
What Should You Do After a Car Accident?
The actions you take after a collision may affect your health and your ability to recover compensation. Follow these steps to protect yourself.
Stop & Move to Safety
Stop at the scene and turn on your hazard lights. When it is safe and the vehicles can be moved, move them out of active traffic to prevent further collisions.
Call 911
Request emergency assistance when anyone is injured, traffic is blocked, a driver appears impaired, or the accident creates a dangerous situation. California requires reporting injury or fatal collisions to law enforcement within 24 hours.
Seek Medical Attention
Accept emergency treatment when necessary and arrange a medical evaluation even if you initially feel fine. Adrenaline can temporarily mask pain and other symptoms — delayed symptoms are very common after motor vehicle collisions.
Exchange Information
Obtain the other driver's full name, address, phone number, driver's license, vehicle registration, license plate number, insurance company, and policy number. Photograph the documents when possible.
Document the Scene
Take photographs and videos of every vehicle, vehicle damage, license plates, vehicle positions, skid marks, road debris, traffic signals, road signs, lane markings, weather and lighting conditions, and any visible injuries. Take both close-up and wide-angle photographs.
Collect Witness Information
Ask witnesses for their names, phone numbers, and email addresses. Independent witnesses may become critically important when the drivers disagree about what happened.
Avoid Admitting Fault
Do not apologize, accept blame, guess about the cause of the accident, or state that you are uninjured. The evidence may later reveal that the other driver was speeding, distracted, impaired, or violating a traffic rule.
Report to Your Insurance Company
Notify your insurer promptly, but be careful about providing a detailed recorded statement before understanding your rights. A California SR-1 report must generally be submitted to the DMV within 10 days when anyone is injured or property damage exceeds $1,000.

Liability & Fault
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
Potentially Responsible Parties
The negligent driver is often responsible, but other parties may also bear liability — unlocking additional insurance coverage that can be critical in serious injury cases.
- Another driver or vehicle owner
- An employer or business
- A rideshare company or its insurer
- A commercial transportation company
- A maintenance or repair business
- A vehicle or parts manufacturer
- A property owner
- A government entity responsible for a dangerous road
How Is Fault Proven?
A successful claim requires evidence showing that another party failed to use reasonable care and caused the accident and resulting injuries. Evidence may include:
- Police reports & witness statements
- Photographs, videos & surveillance footage
- Dashcam & traffic-camera recordings
- Vehicle electronic data
- Cellphone & app records
- Medical records & expert opinions
- Accident reconstruction analysis
- Driver employment & maintenance records
What if you were partially at fault? You should not assume you cannot recover compensation simply because you may have contributed to the accident. Several drivers may share responsibility for the same collision. The insurance company may attempt to place more blame on you to reduce its payment — responsibility should be assessed based on the available evidence, not merely the adjuster's opinion.
California's Filing Deadline — Act Promptly
California generally allows two years from the date of an injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, shorter deadlines apply when a city, county, state agency, public transportation provider, or another government entity is involved.
Insurance negotiations do not pause the statute of limitations. Some evidence — skid marks, surveillance footage, vehicle data — may disappear far sooner. Speaking with an attorney promptly is critical.
If the at-fault driver does not have insurance, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may still provide compensation. An uninsured motorist claim should be prepared carefully — your own insurer may still dispute fault or the value of your claim.
