The consequences of an Inglewood car accident can be life changing. You might be dealing with injuries, vehicle damage, and predatory insurance companies that want to settle your claim. Often, for as little as possible.
The intersections near LAX see constant traffic. Century Boulevard during events at SoFi Stadium or The Forum creates conditions where crashes become inevitable.
The insurance company will contact you quickly. They’ll sound helpful. They’ll ask for a recorded statement. They’ll make an offer that seems reasonable until you realize it doesn’t cover your actual losses. That’s when you need someone who understands how these cases work.

Why Choose Weinberg Law Offices for Your Inglewood, CA Car Accident Case
Results that demonstrate our approach. We’ve secured multiple seven-figure settlements in personal injury cases. One case involved a client who tried handling their claim alone. The insurance company offered $2,500 against $27,000 in medical bills. After we took over, the settlement reached $800,000 with full recovery of medical costs. The difference wasn’t luck—it was preparation, negotiation, and willingness to take the case to trial if necessary.

What We Handle in Inglewood Car Accident Cases
Inglewood’s roads create specific accident patterns. Prairie Avenue and La Brea Avenue handle commuter traffic. Manchester Boulevard serves as a main artery to LAX. Event traffic around The Forum and SoFi Stadium creates congestion where rear-end collisions and sideswipes occur frequently.
- Intersection Accidents. Most Inglewood car accidents happen at intersections. Red light violations, left turn failures, right-of-way disputes. We investigate using traffic camera footage when available, witness statements, and accident reconstruction when necessary. California Vehicle Code violations often determine liability, but insurance companies will still try to shift fault to you.
- Freeway Crashes. The 405 and 105 freeways border Inglewood. High-speed collisions on these routes cause catastrophic injuries. Multi-vehicle pileups complicate liability because you’re dealing with multiple insurance companies and potentially multiple at-fault parties. We handle the coordination required to pursue all available sources of compensation.
- Rear-End Collisions. Traffic congestion on Inglewood streets leads to rear-end accidents. Insurance companies assume the trailing driver is always at fault, but that’s not universally true. Sudden stops, malfunctioning brake lights, or aggressive lane changes can shift liability. We examine the facts specific to your accident rather than accepting default assumptions.
- T-Bone Accidents. Side-impact collisions cause serious injuries because vehicles have less protection at the sides. These typically happen at intersections when someone runs a red light or fails to yield. We’ve handled T-bone accident cases involving fractured bones, internal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries.
- Hit-and-Run Accidents. California requires drivers to stop after accidents, but hit-and-runs still occur. If the at-fault driver flees, you can pursue compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. We help with the claims process and work with law enforcement to identify the responsible party when possible. Understanding your rights after a hit-and-run matters because time limits apply.
- Rideshare Accidents. Uber and Lyft drivers operate throughout Inglewood. When they cause accidents, the insurance situation gets complicated. Coverage depends on whether the driver had the app on, was heading to pick up a passenger, or was actively transporting someone. These cases require understanding both the rideshare company’s insurance policy and the driver’s personal coverage.
We investigate every case thoroughly. Police reports provide a starting point, but they’re not always accurate. We gather additional evidence—surveillance footage, witness statements, vehicle damage patterns, medical records—to build the strongest possible case for compensation.
California Laws That Affect Your Inglewood Car Accident Claim
California operates under a fault-based system for car accidents. The at-fault driver’s insurance pays for damages. But California also uses pure comparative negligence under Civil Code Section 1714, which may affect your recovery.
If you’re partially responsible for the accident, your compensation reduces by your percentage of fault. Ten percent at fault with $50,000 in damages? You recover $45,000. Insurance adjusters use this rule aggressively, trying to assign you more fault than the facts support. They’ll point to any action you took—changing lanes, adjusting speed, checking a mirror—and claim it contributed to the accident.
The statute of limitations for car accident cases in California is two years from the accident date under Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1. Property damage claims have a three-year limit. Miss these deadlines and you lose the right to file a lawsuit, regardless of how clear the other driver’s fault is.
California also requires minimum insurance coverage: $15,000 per person for injury, $30,000 per accident for injury, and $5,000 for property damage. These minimums often don’t cover serious accidents. When the at-fault driver carries only minimum coverage and your damages exceed policy limits, we explore other options—underinsured motorist coverage, multiple liable parties, or assets beyond insurance.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles requires accident reports for crashes involving injury, death, or property damage over $1,000. Filing this report protects your legal rights and creates an official record. Insurance companies sometimes use failure to report as grounds to deny claims.
Understanding these laws matters because insurance companies use them to reduce what they pay. Having representation that knows how to counter their tactics makes the difference in your final compensation.
What Compensation Covers in Inglewood Car Accident Cases
Medical expenses form the foundation of most claims. Emergency room treatment, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, prescription medications. Future medical care matters too—some injuries require ongoing treatment or create permanent limitations. We work with medical experts to document both current costs and future needs.
Lost wages include time you’ve already missed and future earning capacity if injuries prevent you from working at your previous level. This isn’t just about paycheck stubs. It covers commissions, bonuses, benefits, and self-employment income. For severe injuries that create permanent disability, we calculate lifetime earning losses.
Property damage means vehicle repair or replacement value. But it also includes personal property damaged in the accident—phones, laptops, clothing, equipment. Insurance companies will offer market value for totaled vehicles, but that doesn’t always reflect what you paid or what replacement actually costs.
Pain and suffering compensates for physical discomfort and reduced quality of life. California doesn’t cap these damages in car accident cases the way some states do. The amount depends on injury severity, treatment length, and permanent impairment. Insurance companies resist these claims because they’re subjective, which is why documentation matters.
Emotional distress applies when accidents cause psychological trauma—anxiety about driving, PTSD, depression. These conditions require professional diagnosis and treatment. We’ve handled cases where the psychological effects were as debilitating as the physical injuries.
Loss of consortium compensates spouses for loss of companionship and support when injuries affect the relationship. This is a separate claim from the injured person’s damages.
The goal is full compensation for all losses the accident caused. Insurance companies will offer settlements that cover some of these categories but ignore others. Before accepting anything, you need to understand what you’re entitled to receive.
