Challenging Fault In California
Summary
In California, you can challenge fault determinations in car accidents using evidence like the officers report. California follows a comparative fault rule, allowing shared fault. If repair costs exceed your cars value, you may recover only its market value. Typically, you would sue the other driver, not their insurance company. Consider mediation or arbitration for disputes and consult a lawyer for legal action.Full Conversation

The cost of fixing my car is more than it's value can I still sue for enough money to fix it?
Case Rating: *
In California, you can sue for the actual cash value of the car, not necessarily the cost of repairs. If repair costs exceed the car's value, you may only recover the car's market value. Consider negotiating with the insurance company first. If you need legal advice, consulting a lawyer might be beneficial.
