How to use this reference: Policy ranges reflect typical commercial limits in California — not minimums. Corporate chain defendants almost always carry excess/umbrella policies layered above primary limits. Government defendants are self-insured or covered by Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs). Cases involving catastrophic injury (brain, spinal, death) trigger excess layers regardless of practice area.

Policy Ranges: $5M–$50M+ Catastrophic / Major Corporate $1M–$5M Commercial / Institutional $300K–$1M Mid-range Commercial $15K–$300K Personal / Minimum

🚗

Car Accidents

Truck Accidents

Note: FMCSA-regulated carriers carry federally mandated minimums. Black box / ELD data preservation is time-critical — send preservation letters immediately. See our LA Truck Accident Attorney Marketing guide for case acquisition strategies.

Defendant Type	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
FMCSA-regulated carrier (18-wheeler) High Value	$1M–$5M	Federal minimum $750K–$5M by cargo type + umbrella	FMCSA mandates minimum coverage. Request ELD/black box data immediately — 30-day preservation window. LA Truck Attorney Marketing

📱

Uber & Lyft Accidents

Note: TNC coverage is period-dependent. Documenting app status at time of crash via subpoena is essential — it determines which policy (and which limits) apply.

Coverage Period	Policy Range	Who Pays	Strategic Notes
Period 0 — App OFF	$15K–$250K	Driver's personal auto only	TNC has zero coverage. Pursue driver's personal policy.
Period 1 — App ON, no ride accepted	$50K/$100K/$25K	TNC contingent liability	Contingent = only if driver's personal policy denies. Critical gap to document.
Period 2 — Ride accepted, en route High Value	$1M per occurrence	Uber/Lyft commercial auto	Full $1M TNC policy active. Document exact app status at time of crash via subpoena. Get Rideshare Cases via AI Search
Period 3 — Passenger in vehicle High Value	$1M per occurrence	Uber/Lyft commercial auto	Same $1M. Passenger injury = near-certain coverage. Uninsured motorist on TNC policy too.
Uber / Lyft corporate negligence Corp	$25M–$100M+	TNC excess/umbrella + D&O	Background check failures, algorithmic dispatch negligence = separate corporate claim.

⚠️

Note: Corporate retailers are self-insured with massive retention programs. Surveillance video and incident reports must be preserved immediately — most systems overwrite within 30–72 hours. See InterCore's Legal Marketing Hub for premises liability acquisition strategies.

Property Type / Defendant	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
Big-box retailer (Walmart, Costco, Target) Corp High Value	$10M–$50M+	Self-insured + excess carriers	Incident report + surveillance video preservation letter within 24hrs. Walmart self-insures via Claims Management Inc. PI Case Marketing

Note: Pedestrian cases involving commercial vehicles or transit agencies often yield the highest verdicts. Identify the employer entity quickly — it determines the available coverage layers.

Note: High-value bike cases increasingly involve e-bike defects — a growing product liability vector. LA's bike lane infrastructure issues create solid government defendant claims under Govt Code §835.

Defendant Type	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
Commercial vehicle (delivery van, truck) Corp High Value	$1M–$5M+	Commercial auto + employer umbrella	$9.875M bike accident settlement result — proof of case value. Corporate employer = deepest pocket. PI Marketing Services

⚖️

Wrongful Death

Note: Wrongful death cases reliably penetrate excess layers. Economic damage calculations include lifetime earnings, consortium claims, and survivor benefits — all unlimited under CA law. See how AI optimization improves high-value case acquisition.

Case Type / Defendant	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
Commercial trucking fatality High Value	$5M–$25M+	Federal commercial auto + excess	$14.5M truck accident settlement result. Loss of lifetime earnings + consortium claims = large damages.

🏢

Premises Liability

Note: Foreseeability of harm (Ann M. v. Pacific Plaza) is the threshold issue. Prior incidents at the property = constructive notice = strong liability. Always request prior incident reports.

Premises Type / Claim	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
Negligent security — apartment complex High Value	$2M–$10M	Property GL + umbrella + security co. E&O	Ann M. v. Pacific Plaza — foreseeability of crime is key. Prior incidents = constructive notice.

📦

Product Liability

Note: Strict liability in California means proof of a defect — not negligence — is sufficient. The entire supply chain (manufacturer, distributor, retailer) is exposed. MDL potential transforms individual cases into national settlements. For marketing strategies targeting high-value product liability cases, see InterCore's AI-Powered SEO Services.

Product / Defendant	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
Auto manufacturer — defective vehicle Corp High Value	$25M–$500M+	Product liability + recall insurance + excess	Takata airbag, Chevy ignition — recall data is damning. Entire supply chain liable under strict liability.

🏗️

Construction Accidents

Note: Cal/OSHA citations create negligence per se. Third-party (non-employee) plaintiffs retain full tort rights regardless of the Privette doctrine. Multi-party cases = multiple policy layers.

Claim Type / Defendant	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
General Contractor — third party injury Corp High Value	$5M–$25M+	GL + umbrella + OCIP/CCIP	Third-party (non-employee) can sue in tort. Request all subcontractor agreements and COIs.
Property developer / owner Corp	$5M–$50M	Owner GL + OCIP + excess	Privette doctrine limits employee claims, but third-party visitors retain full tort rights.

🐕

Dog Bite Injuries

Note: California Civil Code §3342 imposes strict liability — no "one bite" rule, no negligence required, breed irrelevant. Landlord liability expands the available policies significantly.

Owner / Situation	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
Homeowner with property High Value	$300K–$1M	Homeowner's GL + umbrella	CA Civil Code §3342 = strict liability, no "one bite" rule. No negligence required. Dog breed irrelevant.

🍺

Drunk Driving Accidents

Note: DUI cases have punitive damage exposure that can exceed policy limits. Always pursue the Dram Shop defendant — the bar's GL policy is an additional recovery stream with strong settlement leverage (liquor license on the line).

Defendant	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
DUI driver — personal	$15K–$250K	Personal auto (may be denied on grounds of intentional act)	Punitive damages available for malice/oppression. Personal assets exposed after policy limits.

Party host — social host liability	$300K–$1M	Homeowner's GL + umbrella	CA social host liability is limited — only applies for serving minors (B&P §25602.1). Adult social host generally not liable.
Commercial driver DUI (trucker, bus) High Value	$1M–$5M+	Commercial auto + employer + umbrella	BAC ≥ 0.04% CDL violation. Employer knew or should have known = negligent supervision.

🏃

Hit & Run Accidents

Note: UM/UIM coverage is the primary recovery path. Always audit all household vehicles for policy stacking opportunities. If a commercial vehicle is involved, identifying the employer transforms the case value entirely.

Recovery Source	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
Client's own UM policy High Value	$100K–$1M+	Uninsured motorist coverage	Primary recovery path. Stack UM across all vehicles in household. CA requires UM be offered at same limits as liability. Client Intake Optimization
Client's UIM if driver found	$100K–$500K	Underinsured motorist	If driver identified and underinsured, UIM bridges the gap. Arbitration provision may apply.
CIGA / CAARP (assigned risk)	$15K–$30K	CA Assigned Risk Plan	If driver found and insured via CAARP. Very limited recovery — prioritize client's UM.
Business / commercial vehicle identified Corp High Value	$1M–$5M+	Commercial auto + employer umbrella	License plate + surveillance video identification = major value unlock. Corporate vehicle = jackpot.

Property damage coverage (UMPD)	$3.5K min	Client's UMPD or collision coverage	CA UMPD deductible typically $250. Collision coverage preferable if available — no deductible dispute.

🧠

Brain Injuries · Burn Injuries · Spinal Cord Injuries

Note: These are injury categories, not standalone case types — they overlay every practice area above and trigger excess/umbrella policy layers in almost every case. A brain injury from a car accident can push a $250K personal auto case to a $5M+ excess carrier case. See how AI optimization improves high-value case signed rates.

Injury Type	Policy Trigger Effect	Key Damages	Strategic Notes
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) High Value	Triggers excess layers	Future care, lost earnings, loss of consortium, hedonic damages	$957K rideshare brain injury result. Neuropsychological expert + life care planner = essential. Future care value can exceed $5M. PI Marketing for Brain Injury Cases

Burn Injury (severe) High Value	Triggers excess layers	Reconstructive surgery, pain/suffering, disfigurement	Product defect (e-bike battery, industrial equipment) + negligence = two defendants. Disfigurement multiplies non-economic damages.
Mild TBI / Concussion	$500K–$2M	Cognitive impairment, lost wages, treatment costs	Defense favorite to minimize. Neuroimaging (DTI, fMRI) + neuropsych testing counters low-ball offers.

👶

Birth Injuries

Note: CA MICRA caps non-economic damages at $350K (rising to $500K by 2033), but economic damages including lifetime care are unlimited. Birth injury cases often yield the highest economic damage calculations of any practice area.

Defendant	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes

Note: Common carrier cases impose a heightened duty of care — FMCSA safety violations are negligence per se. LACMTA is one of California's largest self-insured entities.

Defendant	Policy Range	Insurance Structure	Strategic Notes
LACMTA (Metro Bus/Rail) Gov High Value	Self-insured $5M+	LACMTA self-insured retention + excess JPA	Largest transit agency in CA. Govt claim required within 6 months. Common carrier = heightened duty of care.

🛡️

Sexual Abuse & Sexual Harassment Litigation

Note: CA AB 218 (2020) created a retroactive lookback window for childhood sexual abuse claims through 2026. Institutional cover-up allegations open punitive damage exposure that can far exceed policy limits.
