As experienced personal injury lawyers in Los Angeles, we’re qualified to handle any type of injury case. We regularly work with clients who have suffered the following types of injuries or accidents:
When you first come to us, we will discuss your accident with you in detail to determine whether we believe you have a legal claim to assert. If you do, we will thoroughly investigate your accident to determine exactly who we can hold accountable for your injuries and conduct a full evaluation of all of your losses to ensure that we can obtain the full and fair value of your claim.
You may be worried about the costs associated with retaining a personal injury lawyer after an accident, especially if you are dealing with unexpected medical expenses and lost income from not being able to work. At Kash Legal, we never collect legal fees unless we win your case. In addition, because we employ a contingency-fee agreement with all our injury clients, any legal fees we collect will be a predetermined percentage of your settlement or award. By using this type of fee structure, anyone who needs legal help after an accident can get it, even if they cannot afford to pay a lawyer out of pocket.
It is highly advisable for anyone that has been hurt in an accident caused by the negligence of someone else to retain a personal injury lawyer. Furthermore, you should retain an attorney even if your case looks like it’s going to be settled out of court, as most are.
When a case settles, the at-fault party or the at-fault party’s insurance company agrees to pay you a certain amount in return for you signing paperwork that releases them from any further liability. Importantly, insurance companies actively work to settle cases for less than they are worth and will actively look for ways to even deny your claim completely. There are many ways that a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer can help you during the settlement process, including:
If your lawyer is unable to come to a settlement agreement with the insurance company or the insurance company simply denies your claim, he or she will likely file a lawsuit on your behalf. In the event that this occurs in your case, your lawyer will also represent you in court and attempt to obtain a judgment on your behalf.
While it would be nice if injured victims automatically received the compensation to which they are entitled after an accident, that is unfortunately not how our system works. In fact, there are certain steps that victims need to take after an accident to protect their legal right to compensation. Some of these include:
It is critical to seek medical attention after an accident. Doing so will result in the creation of a medical record that can be used as evidence to prove your damages. In addition, it is also very important to participate in your treatment plan. That means attending physical therapy if it is prescribed, going to follow-up appointments, and filling your prescriptions. Failing to take steps to mitigate your injuries can have a negative impact on how much compensation you can recover.
You should keep a detailed journal about the ways in which your injuries are affecting your day-to-day life. Make note of any pain you experience, trouble you have sleeping, activities you need to skip, and any feelings of anxiety or depression you have.
You should retain a personal injury attorney to represent you as soon as possible after you are hurt in an accident. Insurance companies will gladly take advantage of your inexperience in handling personal injury claims, and waiting to start investigating your case could result in losing access to evidence that you need to be successful in recovering compensation. Once you retain the team at Kash Legal, you can focus on the important work involved with your mental and physical recovery while knowing that the legal aspects of your claim are in good hands.
If you have been hurt in an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should speak to a personal injury attorney as soon as you can. At Kash Legal, we are committed to helping injured victims obtain the compensation they are owed under California law, and our skilled team of lawyers is qualified to go up against the largest insurers in the country. To schedule a consultation with one of our lawyers, call our office today at 888.527.4128 or contact us online.
We will be in touch within 24 hours.
