Liability in chain-reaction collisions often involves multiple drivers and competing insurance carriers. We sort out fault and pursue every applicable coverage.
Practice Area
Auto Accidents
The other driver's insurer has probably already called: friendly, casual, just wanting to clear up a few questions. Meanwhile the evidence is on a clock. Vehicle data overwrites, surveillance footage rolls off, witnesses' memories soften. Khatchatrian Law Group, APC handles California auto accident claims and gets on the record before the record disappears.
Overview.
Auto cases are won and lost on details the insurer hopes you won't notice. California's comparative-fault rules let carriers shift small percentages of blame onto you to shrink the payout, a quiet way to discount a real injury. The firm preserves what the police report missed, documents the medical picture as it actually unfolds (the soft-tissue injury that worsens over the next two weeks, not the ER triage note), and values the claim against the full weight of what you've lost: wages, future care, the things you can't do for a while. When the carrier won't meet that number, the case goes to suit.

Phone records, vehicle telematics, and witness accounts can prove distracted driving. We subpoena what's needed to establish the conduct.
When the at-fault driver carries no coverage or too little, your own UM/UIM policy steps in, and we make the carrier honor the policy you paid for.
Hit-and-run cases often resolve through your own UM coverage. We coordinate with law enforcement and your insurer to pursue recovery even when the other driver is unknown.
