California Accident Information & Consumer Resources

If you were involved in an accident in California, understanding your options starts with information. Consumer Legal Request provides free educational resources to help consumers learn about the accident claims process. We are not a law firm — we connect consumers with information and, where applicable, licensed professionals.

California requires minimum liability auto insurance coverage for all registered vehicles
Uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is available and often recommended
California has strict distracted driving and DUI laws that can affect liability determinations
Consulting a licensed California attorney is the appropriate way to understand your specific legal rights
