¿Ha sufrido un accidente de tráfico?

Victims of car accidents, motorcycle accidents and truck accidents are the most frequent kind of personal injury claim. These claims are generally based on the theory of negligence. In the majority of California vehicle accidents, the victim, the plaintiff, needs to establish the negligence of the defendant in order to seek damages. Furthermore, the plaintiff has to show that the offender's carelessness was the actual and direct source of both the accident as well as the plaintiff's injuries. Call one of our Sherman Oaks auto accident lawyers to help direct you through this process.

Can an accident victim anticipate a reasonable settlement from the insurer if negotiated without an attorney?

An insurer's goal is to find a reason to reject your claim, or settle a case dispute for the least amount of money possible. Before getting compensation from an insurance company, a knowledgeable lawyer with your wellbeing in mind will help you determine appropriate compensation for damages. Photos of the scene taken immediately after the accident has occurred are a crucial part of evidence documenting the damages and how they might have been sustained.

If I get into an auto crash, how do I know if there is a cause of action against the other party?

Property damage or bodily injury that might be an outcome of the actions of another party present a possible cause for action for motor vehicle accident victims. Your lawyer will require as much evidence as possible to determine accountability for the damages you have sustained. Taking pictures of the scene and seeing a medical professional as soon as possible will help start your healing process, as well as determine the cause of action and develop the proof needed for compensation.

What are the damages you can recoup in an automobile accident, traumatic brain injury case?

¿Qué indemnización puede recibir una familia cuando la víctima del accidente de tráfico es un ser querido?

There are two causes of actions that can be pursued on behalf of a deceased loved one: wrongful death and survival.

Your loved one's estate can seek a survival cause of action, and recover damages the victim suffered between the time of injury and the time of their passing.

Why do I need to speak to an attorney immediately after suffering an injury?
