"They held my hand thru the whole thing, answering my silly calls with questions and showing great patience."
I found the Kuvara Law Firm when I did a search for personal injury attorneys. I scanned down the possibilities but their name jumped out at me. I called, sure I didn't have a claim because I've never done this before, but on reviewing my case Mr. Kuvara said I DO have a case and assigned me to the appropriate person to get things started. They were always very friendly and encouraging whenever I contacted them. Colby is an absolute doll! Then when I had my fall and concussion Mr. Kovara referred me to a colleague at another firm that specializes in that type of case. They, too, were good and helpful and full of information I'd never think of! Everything was perfect, they really knew their jobs at both firms and took great care of me. I can't recommend them highly enough and will keep their contact information in my wallet ready to share with all who may ask! Thanks so much, Colby!

"Colby was professional, caring and listened carefully to what our son's desired outcomes were."
Our adult son was hit by a car while on vacation in San Rafael CA. We recieved the call the night before Thanksgiving 2022. We flew from MPLS to San Fransisco and got to the hospital where our son was. He was injured badly, after emergency brain surgery he was placed in a medically induced coma he woke up after three day's. We decided as a family to contact an attorney. We contacted Kuvara Law firm and talked with Colby. Colby assured us that the only interest she had was the well being of our son. She went above and beyond to navigate out of state insurance and an entire host of other issues. Our entire family would recomend Kuvara Law firm to anyone looking for representation.

What Is the Pure Comparative Negligence Rule?
California follows the pure comparative negligence law, meaning that plaintiffs can seek damages in a car accident claim even if they are partially liable for the accident. Unlike the modified comparative negligence rule, which bars plaintiffs from seeking damages if their fault is greater or equal to the fault of the defendant, the pure comparative negligence law allows you to file a lawsuit as long as you are 99% at fault or less.
Keep in mind that the total amount of compensation awarded will be reduced by your share of the fault. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 in damages but bear 10% of the fault, you may only recover $90,000 (10% less than the original value). Our attorneys are well-versed in these legal intricacies to advocate for maximum compensation while protecting your rights at every step.
Recoverable Damages in Car Accident Claims
Depending on the circumstances of the case, various damages may be available in a car accident claim. The primary types of recoverable compensation include:
- Economic damages to compensate for direct financial losses, such as medical bills, surgeries, current and future treatments, rehabilitative care, property damage, and lost earnings and earning capacity.
- Non-economic damages to compensate for subjective non-financial losses, such as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent scarring and disfigurement, and emotional distress.
In rare cases involving extreme negligence, the court may also award punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter similar misconduct in the future. These differ from other damages because they are awarded solely to punish the negligent party, as opposed to compensating the injured party directly.

Determining Liability in a Car Accident Lawsuit
Proving liability is a complex yet vital part of any injury claim. Working with a qualified attorney is critical to identifying liable parties and successfully recovering compensation. Some potentially liable parties in car accident lawsuits include:
- The other motorist. The at-fault driver is often the primary liable party in car accident claims. We can help you gather evidence to prove the other motorist acted negligently, resulting in the accident.
- The vehicle manufacturer. If the car accident occurred due to a faulty part or defective machinery, the vehicle manufacturer may be liable for damages.
- Third-party employers. If the at-fault party was an active employee, such as a commercial truck operator or Uber driver, their employer may be partially or fully liable for the accident.
- Government entities. If the crash was caused by inadequate signage or other poor road conditions, the government entity responsible for maintaining them may be liable.
