At Tiedt & Hurd, Your Case Is Our Cause

Fighting For Victims Of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Most of us rely on vehicles to navigate our every day lives. With thousands of people driving on California roads every day, serious accidents are unfortunately too common. If you or a loved sustained a catastrophic injury in a motor vehicle accident in Riverside county, you may have a valid personal injury claim.

At Tiedt & Hurd in Corona, our motor vehicle accident attorneys have years of experience helping clients throughout the state fight for the compensation they deserve after suffering serious injuries. Whether your accident involves a motorcycle, passenger vehicle, 18-wheeler truck, public bus or you were injured as a pedestrian, our lawyers can help your claim succeed.

You Deserve Compensation For Your Catastrophic Injuries

Serious injuries can occur in almost any type of accident. Crashes between different types of vehicles, such as passenger cars, motorcycles and semi trucks often cause severe and sometimes fatal injuries.

Catastrophic injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Fractures
  • Neck and spinal cord injuries
  • Severe burns
  • Internal organ damage
  • Fatalities

In California, you can obtain compensation for economic and noneconomic damages. Economic damages include compensation for the monetary losses you suffered due to the accident, including medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages and lost future income. You can also seek noneconomic damages for mental anguish, and pain and suffering.

If you lost a loved one in an accident, our lawyers can help you file a wrongful death claim on their behalf. In a wrongful death claim, you can obtain compensation for funeral costs, medical expenses, lost income and loss of companionship.

Motor Vehicle Accident Lawsuits Frequently Asked Questions

Our injury attorneys want to help you understand California auto accident laws. The answers to these commonly asked questions can speak to many accident claim concerns.

Do I still have a case if I was partially at fault in a car accident?

It is certainly possible, but many victims assume they have no case and never make the effort to file a claim. California follows the comparative negligence doctrine, allowing all injured parties to file a claim. Your degree of fault for the car accident determines how much you can pursue in financial compensation.

What is comparative negligence and what does it mean for my car accident case?

Say you are found partially at fault under the comparative negligence system. As long as you hold less than 50% of the blame, you may still receive an award – but it will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Showing that you carry minimal or no fault can increase your financial recovery, and we can help by reviewing your case thoroughly.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a car accident in California?

You have two years from the date of a crash to file your claim. Two years may seem lengthy, but an early start is vital, as some evidence can deteriorate over time and witnesses may forget critical details. There are some exceptions that can shorten or extend the deadline for a car accident claim, such as crashes involving minors.

Is there a limit on how much I can recover from a car accident claim in California?

California imposes no cap on economic or noneconomic damages in a car accident case. You can be compensated for your injury-related medical bills, lost wages and other economic losses. Pain and suffering (noneconomic damages) are invaluable if you have sustained severe injuries in the crash.

They compensate you for the long-term physical pain and emotional distress the car accident caused. Our lawyers at Tiedt & Hurd will help you explore all compensation options.
