a car accident lawyer, referred to as a Personal Injury Attorney.
call one local, though.
if there is an injury, and you were not at fault, most of us would accept the case on a contingency fee. That means the lawyer will only take a percentage of what he/she gets.

My insurance company had already found me 100% liable without the chp report being released
What type of lawyer handles this type of case?
answered on Nov 15, 2022
That's odd. As Mr. Anapol has stated, insurance companies generally have a duty to defend. If the insurance company is denying coverage, speak with an attorney handling insurance coverage or bad faith litigation. [I litigate cases.

answered on Nov 15, 2022
Its not clear what you are asking. Your insurance company has a duty to defend (retain a lawyer on your behalf) and indemnify you (pay any settlement or judgment up to the policy limit). If your insurance company is disputing coverage, you need an attorney who specializes in handling insurance... Read more »

Defense attorneys can assert "general" and "specific" defenses... that doesn't make them true. However it puts those allegations at issue. Both sides put their facts on and the jury decides. How do you intend to prove you were wearing a seatbelt? Would a seatbelt have made... Read more »

Defendants get to assert defenses. They have to prove them by a preponderance of the evidence. You are entitled to dispute the defenses. That happens at trial by testimony or other evidence. Since there has been no trial, you have no right to prevent the Defendants from claiming this defense.
I was wondering if I had to provide the arbitrator with the transcripts of the phone call I had with my insurance company about the accident? The guy tried suing me and when that wasn't working out he decided to take things to small claims.
answered on Sep 20, 2022
A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could depend on the court. If you're in small claims, it suggests there are probably no injuries. If it will take time to order and retrieve the transcripts, it could be up to the court. In general... Read more »
