• Property Damage
  If you were involved in a traffic accident, whether the vehicles involved were cars, trucks, or motorcycles, you may be eligible for financial compensation. California Law requires traffic accidents on a California street/highway or private property to be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within 10 days if there was an injury, death, or property damage. The law requires the driver to file an SR-1 form with the DMV regardless of fault. This report must be made in addition to any other report filed with a law enforcement agency, insurance company, or the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as their reports do not satisfy the filing requirement. However, it is also wise to talk to our personal injury attorney at the Law Offices of Azad Jingozian so that he can advise you on what steps to take after your accident.
