Do I Need a Lawyer?

Get Compensation for..
Medical Bills - Lost Wages - Pain & Suffering - Property Damage

Depending on the seriousness of the matter, it is a good idea to get a Los Angeles California personal injury lawyer involved as early as possible. An injury lawyer can fight for your rights and get the compensation you deserve. This is particularly important in an auto accident case, as the other side’s insurance company has far more information than you do, and may take advantage of you.

If you've been hurt in a car accident and it was someone else's fault you may be entitled to damage compensation. Your medical bills should be paid. You should also receive reasonable compensation for your pain, suffering, inconvenience, loss of income, and for any damage to your property. 

Can I afford an attorney?

Normally, in cases such as these, you don’t pay the money upfront. When we win your case, your lawyer will receive a percentage of the settlement amount as payment in full. You and your attorney will agree upon this percentage amount at the time you retain your lawyer.


How long will it take to get money in my case?

Settlement negotiations for your personal injury generally do not begin until you have completed all necessary medical treatment. The property damage portion of your claim is frequently resolved very soon after your accident.


How much money can I expect to get in a settlement?


There are many factors considered in the amount of a settlement. In California, loss of wages, pain and suffering, property loss, etc. may all be considered. Your attorney must look at the facts in your individual case to arrive at an estimated amount of reasonable settlement.


Should I settle ahead of trial?


A court trial in California can be a lengthy proposition but the judgment in court may be much larger than in an agreed settlement. You must weigh the benefits and risks of trial in making your decision.
