Injuries Don’t Just Affect Your Present, They Impact Your Future. 

As a result of your accident, you may be facing injuries like broken bones, a traumatic brain injury, a concussion, internal bleeding, and more. Depending on the severity, you may also be facing expenses like:

• Ambulance transport
• Hospital/ER stay
• Medication
• X-rays
• CT scans
• MRIs
• Surgery
• Body casts
• Wheelchair/crutches
• Physical therapy
• Psychiatric therapy 
• Dental reconstruction
• And more!

The mistake most people make when filing a personal injury claim is not only taking into account these expenses, but how these injuries could also cost you later on. Our skilled Los Angeles personal injury attorneys help file a claim that accurately reflects not only the immediate damages you incurred, but the damages that may appear in the future, like:

• Chronic pain or long-term physical limitations from the injuries
• Ongoing medical treatment, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
• Permanent disability or scarring that impacts your daily life or ability to work
• Emotional and psychological effects, such as anxiety or depression
• Potential career impact if you are unable to return to your previous work
• The long-term financial strain from medical bills and reduced income
• Need for adaptive equipment or home modifications if permanently disabled 
• And more. 

The Insurance Company Is Only Concerned With Protecting Themselves, Not Helping You Recover.

No matter how sympathetic the insurance adjuster may seem to your situation, remember that their one and only concern is minimizing their payout. Playing into your emotions is one of the many tactics they use to do this. They might also bog you down with pointless requests for paperwork and documentation, even after you’ve already given them what they need, or even attempt to manipulate you into accepting some liability for the accident. 

Even if they do agree to pay you, it may be a dismal amount that doesn’t even scratch the surface of what you truly deserve. That’s why it’s in your best interests to allow our Los Angeles personal injury lawyers to help you navigate this process and negotiate for the highest possible payout. 

With us in your corner, you won’t be easily duped by the insurance adjuster, and they know this. We ensure that they handle your case properly, don’t waste your time playing manipulative games, and ultimately offer you fair compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims In Los Angeles, CA

What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

California operates on comparative negligence laws, so even if you were partly at fault, you may still be entitled to significant compensation. For example, if you were found to be 20% at fault, then you would still be entitled to 80% compensation. 

When should I file a personal injury claim?

In California, the statute of limitations on personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident, so you must file at least before then. However, it’s in your best interests to file as soon as possible; the more time elapses, the less evidence may be available, or the insurance company can use it against you to claim that your injuries were caused or worsened due to another event. 

How is negligence proven in a personal injury claim?

Negligence is proven by establishing that the other party had a duty of care (a duty to act in a way that wouldn’t bring harm to others), that they breached that duty, that this breach directly caused your injuries, and that you suffered harm (physical, emotional, or financial) as a result. Our lawyers can use documentation and more to prove negligence and help you hold the responsible party accountable!
