Los Angeles Car Accidents: FAQ

Common Questions about Car Accident Injury Claims

Do I need an attorney?

Only if you want to get the compensation you deserve. It is not likely without a skilled Los Angeles car accident lawyer representing you. Insurance companies count on the fact that an injured victim does not know what they could expect in a settlement and consistently urge the injured to sign off on low settlements before they get legal representation. They even urge victims to NOT get an attorney, telling them they will just "lose some of their compensation". What they fail to inform the victim of is that they are likely to get double or triple the amount with quality legal counsel fighting for them.

How much is a car accident claim worth?

Claims vary based upon the degree of the injuries and other damages suffered by the victim. Some claims will require paying all medical bills and rehabilitation, as well as lost wages and compensation for pain and suffering and the victim could recover within a month or two. Other serious injury cases, such as those that involve brain injuries, loss of a limb, crush injuries, severe burn injuries, disfiguring injuries or spinal cord injuries all will require very high value compensation. There is no amount of money that can balance the losses to an individual when their lives are forever altered by the negligent act of another driver.
