Motor Vehicle Accidents in California
The Devastating Impact of Motor Vehicle Accidents
As a California car accident attorney, Jacob Zamora understands that serious crashes can affect every aspect of your life. After a collision, you may face mounting medical bills, time missed from work, and significant pain and suffering. The emotional toll is real, and many injuries don’t fully reveal themselves for weeks or months.
Understanding your rights—and acting quickly—can make the difference between full recovery and settling for less than you deserve.
While you’re trying to recover, an insurance adjuster may push a quick settlement. Initial offers almost never cover the true cost of medical care, lost income, and long-term effects. Before you sign anything, speak with attorney Jacob Zamora, Esq. to make sure you are treated fairly.
California Car Accident Attorney Jacob Zamora, Esq., Gets You the Compensation You Need and Deserve
Once you settle, you cannot ask for more. Our job is to value your claim correctly—accounting for current bills and future treatment, wage loss, and the full measure of your pain and suffering.
For two decades, Attorney Zamora has helped people injured in all types of crashes, including:
- Car and truck accidents
- Motorcycle and bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian injuries
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims
- Commercial vehicle and delivery-van collisions
After you hire us, all insurer communication goes through our office so you can focus on healing. We deal with the adjuster and keep you updated as we work to secure the compensation you deserve.

California Car Accident Attorney Basics (Plain English)
- Comparative negligence: Even if you were partly at fault, you may still recover; your award can be reduced by your share of fault.
- Deadlines matter: Personal-injury claims are time-limited, and claims involving government entities have much shorter notice rules.
- Reporting: Certain crashes must be reported and may require DMV forms.
This is general information, not legal advice. We’ll confirm the specifics of your situation.

FAQs
Do I need a California Car Accident Attorney if the adjuster seems helpful?
Adjusters work for the insurer. We value your case based on medical proof, future care, and wage loss—not on the first offer.
What if I wasn’t wearing a seat belt?
You can still recover; the insurer may argue your injuries were worse. That’s handled under comparative negligence.
The other driver is uninsured—now what?
We pursue your UM/UIM coverage and identify other liable parties (e.g., an employer or bar in a DUI case).
How long will this take?
It depends on medical recovery and the insurer’s cooperation. We push your case forward but will not settle before we understand your long-term needs.
Will I have to go to court?
Many cases settle. If the insurer will not be reasonable, we are prepared to file suit and try the case.
