Most people who end up needing this book did not wake up planning to think about insurance law. They were driving on the 91 through Corona, or the 215 through San Bernardino. Then they were sitting on the shoulder trying to work out what happens next. The decisions made in that first hour shape the claim more than almost anything a lawyer does later.
The Inland Empire carries heavy freight and commuter traffic, which is part of why crashes here are common enough that Song built a podcast around explaining them. Many residents also arrived from no-fault states, where a driver's own insurer pays the medical bills. California does not work that way, and this book assumes no prior familiarity with a fault-based system.
Song walks through the process from the scene of the crash to the decision to hire an attorney: the SR-1 filing, comparative negligence, what an adjuster is actually deciding, and where a medical lien comes from. Some of it plays out differently in Riverside County than in San Bernardino County, and the chapters say so.
This book isn't legal advice for your specific case, and reading it isn't a substitute for a free consultation with an attorney licensed in California.
