Experienced Representation for Car Accident Victims in Northern California
A car accident can turn daily life upside down. From physical injuries and vehicle damage to insurance pressure, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Levitz Legal Group stands beside crash victims across Northern California — protecting their rights, managing insurance negotiations, and pursuing full financial recovery.
We combine investigative precision with personalized advocacy to help our clients move forward with stability and confidence.
Understanding California Car Accident Claims
California follows a fault-based system, meaning the driver who caused the accident is financially responsible for damages. Common causes include speeding, distracted driving, unsafe turns, or driving under the influence.
After an accident, victims are entitled to pursue compensation for:
- Medical expenses — including emergency treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
- Lost income — wages missed during recovery and loss of future earning capacity.
- Vehicle repair or replacement costs.
- Pain and suffering — compensation for emotional distress and loss of quality of life
Our firm investigates liability thoroughly — reviewing crash reports, scene evidence, and witness accounts — to hold negligent drivers and insurers accountable.
What to Do After a Car Accident
- Get to safety and call 911 if anyone is injured.
- Seek immediate medical care, even if symptoms seem minor.
- Exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver.
- Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and injuries if possible.
- Avoid giving recorded statements to any insurance company until you’ve spoken with an attorney.
Early action helps protect your health and your legal claim. Learn more about serious crash injuries such as brain trauma in our

Common Injuries and Case Value
Car accidents can cause injuries that last weeks or a lifetime — from whiplash and fractures to concussions and spinal damage. Even “minor” crashes can have delayed symptoms that affect your ability to work or care for yourself.
Case value depends on medical recovery, treatment duration, and long-term effects. Our attorneys ensure every category of damage is supported by documentation and expert evaluation before entering negotiations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Claims
Do I need a lawyer for a car accident claim?
Yes. Insurance companies often minimize or delay payments. A lawyer helps gather evidence, value your claim accurately, and negotiate or litigate for fair compensation.
How much is a car accident case worth in California?
It depends on your medical costs, lost wages, and other damages. Severe injuries or permanent disabilities significantly increase claim value.
How long does it take to resolve a car accident case?
Straightforward claims may settle in months. Disputed or serious cases can take longer, especially if litigation is required.
What if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured?
You may still recover through your own insurance policy’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We can help you file and pursue those claims.
Can I recover compensation if I was partly at fault?
Yes. California uses a comparative negligence system, allowing recovery reduced by your percentage of fault.
