CRASH COURSE — Taking Control After a California Car Accident
Don’t Let Insurance Companies Decide the Truth—R23 Law’s Attorneys Are Here to Help
You Deserve a Fair Investigation After a Car Crash
If you’ve been involved in a car accident in California and believe you were wrongly blamed, you don’t have to accept the insurance company’s version of events. Disputing fault is not only your right—it’s a critical step in protecting your legal and financial future.
At R23 Law, we help clients fight back when insurers make unfair or premature liability decisions. Whether it's a police report mistake, biased insurer assessment, or missing evidence, our California consumer protection attorneys are ready to step in.
Why Challenging Fault Is So Important
Insurance companies are profit-driven. If they can shift responsibility to you—even partially—they reduce what they have to pay. In California, which follows a pure comparative negligence system, being found just 10% at fault can reduce your payout by that percentage. That’s money out of your pocket.
Even worse? A disputed fault designation can raise your insurance premiums or limit your ability to sue for full damages. That’s why having an R23 Law California Accident Dispute Lawyer in your corner early is key.
How Fault Is Determined—and Why They Get It Wrong
Fault is usually assigned based on:
Police reports
Witness statements
Vehicle damage
Traffic laws
Insurance adjuster assessments
But insurance companies often rely on snap judgments, assumptions, or incomplete evidence. For example:
They may ignore security footage.
They may downplay your version of events.
They may over-rely on biased third-party accounts.
Steps to Take if You’ve Been Unfairly Blamed
1. Request the Insurance Company’s Written Explanation
Always ask for a written denial or liability determination letter. This gives insight into how they reached their conclusion—and reveals gaps you can contest.
2. Look for Errors in the Assessment
Insurance adjusters are not always accurate. Review:
Vehicle damage reports
Speed estimates
Diagrams or photos
Witness summaries
Inaccuracies or omissions are your opportunity to push back.
3. Gather and Submit Additional Evidence
Look for:
Dashcam or surveillance footage
Traffic light or GPS data
New eyewitnesses
Medical reports tying injuries to the crash
Don’t assume the insurer already has this—they often don’t.
4. File a Formal Dispute
Send a dispute letter directly to the insurance company. Include:
New evidence
A clear explanation of errors in their fault determination
A request for claim reconsideration
We strongly recommend working with R23 Law’s experienced California Auto Fault Dispute Attorneys to help you prepare this—precision matters.
