Why Wells Call Injury Lawyers Doesn’t Represent At-Fault Drivers
Wells Call Injury Lawyers represents people injured by someone else’s negligence, not the at-fault party.
Who Wells Call Injury Lawyers Represents
Wells Call Injury Lawyers represents injury victims pursuing compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance.
If You’re At Fault, Your Insurance Company Provides Your Lawyer
Liability insurance policies include a duty-to-defend clause. If the at-fault driver gets sued, their own insurer is contractually obligated to assign and pay for an attorney.
Why the At-Fault Driver and Injury Victim Need Separate Lawyers
One firm can’t advocate for both sides.
What If You’re Partially At Fault?
Being partially at fault doesn’t automatically shut the door on your claim. California follows pure comparative negligence, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you share some blame for the accident. Your recovery gets reduced by your percentage of fault, but it isn’t eliminated.
For example, if you’re found 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your damages from the other party’s insurer. This is different from the duty-to-defend scenario above: that applies when you’re the one being sued. Comparative fault applies when you’re pursuing a claim but shared some responsibility for what happened.

What To Do If You’re At Fault in an Accident
Notify your insurer, don’t discuss fault details outside that channel, and expect your insurer’s assigned attorney to reach out if a claim is filed.
