What is a Personal Injury Attorney?

A personal injury attorney specializes in representing individuals who have sustained injuries in accidents. This type of lawyer is not just a legal advisor but also an advocate who guides clients through each phase of their case. Their role encompasses more than just filing claims against those responsible for the injuries; they are experts in navigating the complex legal framework specific to personal injury law in their practicing state.

An experienced personal injury attorney offers comprehensive support, starting from the initial consultation to understand the specifics of the accident and the extent of injuries. They then gather evidence, handle negotiations with insurance companies, and, if necessary, represent the client in court. Their expertise includes understanding medical terminologies and procedures, which is crucial for accurately representing the impact of the injury on the client’s life.

These personal injury lawyers stay updated with the latest changes in state laws and legal precedents that can affect the outcome of personal injury cases. They play a pivotal role in ensuring that their clients receive fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering, and other damages resulting from the accident. In essence, a personal injury attorney is a dedicated ally in your journey toward justice and recovery after an accident.

Common Situations Where Personal Injury Law Can Apply

We have decades of experience representing personal injury claims, the most common we have seen include:

  • Accidents – If someone acted in a negligent manner that leads to an accident that caused harm to another, the individual who is at fault may be the subject of a personal injury lawsuit. Common accidents can include car accidents, medical malpractice, and slip and fall accidents.
  • Product Defects – When a product defect causes injury to those who use it, the designer, manufacturer, or distributor may be held liable for their part in causing the injury.
  • Personal Injury: A personal injury lawsuit can be suitable when untrue statements cause damage to one’s reputation.
  • Intentional Injury: In cases such as assault and battery, or sexual assault where an injury is intentional, a personal injury lawsuit can help victims recover compensation for the injustices they’ve suffered.

Common Injuries in a Personal Injury Claim

Whether you were involved in a car accident, motorcycle accident, or even an accident in an Uber or Lyft, our skilled California personal injury attorneys go above and beyond to ensure all clients receive the very best experience from beginning to end. Common injuries we have represented in personal injury claims include:

Key Factors in Personal Injury Cases

The biggest determining factors in how much compensation can be recovered are how the accident occurred and the severity of the injury.

  • Circumstances of the accident – To be a viable personal injury case, your personal injury attorney must prove that the accident or event that caused the injury was done negligently or intentionally.
  • The severity of injuries resulting from the accident – This is often the most important factor in determining how much can be recovered for a personal injury case, but there does need to be actual financial damage or an injury that occurred, a case cannot be built around potential damage that could have happened at the hands of another’s negligence. For example, there may be huge potholes in a road that could cause serious injury if someone were to drive over them at speed, but if no one experiences a crash or is injured because of the potholes, there are no damages that a personal injury lawyer can go after compensation for.

Why You Should Hire Our Personal Injury Attorney

Hiring an attorney to help you with a personal injury case has a few distinct advantages.

  • Larger average settlements. When a plaintiff represents themselves in a personal injury case, many studies have shown that they are only able to collect about 1/3 compared to what they could have been able to recover with an experienced personal injury attorney building their case.
  • Secondary investigation. Our personal injury law firm has a dedicated team of investigators that they can rely on to help reconstruct an accident and determine who is at fault when the cause is disputed. We’ve seen this tactic be extremely useful in disputed personal injury cases that our team has handled over the years.
  • Multiple parties are involved. If you have to deal with fighting multiple insurance companies in your case, our lawyers can help you build a strong argument supported by evidence that can give you a better chance of winning the case in the end.
  • Insurance companies are acting in bad faith. Bad faith insurance cases are quite common as many insurers may believe that they can strong-arm their policyholders and that the insured does not know how to respond to recover the funds they are entitled to. Our experienced California and Nevada personal injury attorney can help you secure a fair settlement from the insurance company.
