Decoding Prop 213: Your Injury Claim Guide

Understanding Prop 213

Proposition 213, also known as the “Personal Responsibility Act,” is a California law that affects individuals involved in motor vehicle accidents, particularly those without insurance or driving under the influence. It limits the recovery of damages for uninsured drivers, impacting their ability to seek full compensation for injuries.

How Prop 213 Can Affect Your Claim:

Insurance Status Matters: If you are an uninsured driver or driving under the influence, Prop 213 restricts your ability to recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Exceptions and Exemptions: Certain situations, such as accidents caused by someone else’s DUI or if you were driving a vehicle not owned by you, may exempt you from Prop 213 restrictions.
Navigating Legal Challenges: Dealing with Prop 213 complexities requires legal expertise to ensure your rights are protected and you receive fair compensation.
