What is a Personal Injury Claim?
Personal injury law permits a private party to file a lawsuit against another individual, enterprise, or business that they believe is responsible for an injury or accident resulting from misconduct or gross negligence. At first, an injury may not appear to premise a lawsuit—however, accident injuries usually carry with them long-lasting physical, financial, and emotional strain. Such pain and suffering justifies taking legal action against the party responsible for the accident.
In the tragic event of a wrongful death caused by negligence or carelessness, it is essential that legal action is sought as soon as possible. While such events are incredibly difficult for grieving loved ones, it is important to see that the survivors of the deceased receive the justice and compensation they are entitled to. Eligible damages cover more than medical or funeral expenses—loss of primary family income and spousal companionship as well as other damages must be considered.

Unfortunately, we cannot say. Everyone’s case will be worth a different amount since your claim is based on your unique situation and losses. However, you can look at our case results page to see examples of settlements we have recovered for past clients.

Most personal injury cases allow you to claim damages to recover your past and future accident-related medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you suffered any losses outside of these categories, you may be able to claim compensation for those as well. Your lawyer will help you calculate the exact amount of damages you are owed.
-
Never speak to an insurance agent who represents anyone other than yourself. The at-fault party’s insurance company will try to build a claim against you immediately after the accident and will use anything that you say against you. Only speak to your insurance company about your claim, or, better yet, speak only to an attorney before talking to anyone else about your accident—including your loved ones.

In California, the personal injury statute of limitations is two years. This means that you have two years from the date you either sustained your injury or discovered your illness to file your claim. However, we advise that you file a personal injury claim as soon as possible. It is much easier to prove your claim when the evidence is fresh.

Was your accident caused by someone or something besides yourself? Can you prove whose fault it was? If yes, you may have a personal injury claim. However, it is not possible to say for sure without knowing the specific facts of your case. An attorney can let you know if you have a claim during a free consultation.

If you have been involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault, there are some things you can do to protect yourself and your future personal injury claim. First, seek immediate medical attention if you are seriously hurt. If you don’t need to be rushed to the hospital right away, remain on the scene of the accident and collect as much information as you can that will help prove liability. This includes photographing the accident scene, talking to witnesses and getting their contact information, and filing an accident report with either the police or the manager of the premises where the accident occurred. Once that is taken care of, go to see a doctor. Getting a medical examination will serve to both ensure your safety and act as additional evidence backing up the claim that you were injured. Finally, contact a personal injury attorney for advice on what to do next during a free consultation.
