What if I can’t work? How am I supposed to support my family?
We understand the immense financial pressure you are facing. While your case is in progress, we can help you identify other potential resources, such as disability benefits, that may provide immediate support. The ultimate purpose of the case is to secure compensation that replaces both past and future lost income, giving your family long-term stability.
The accident involved a commercial truck on the I-405. Is that different from a car accident case?
Yes, significantly. Commercial truck accident cases usually involve multiple responsible parties. This could include the driver, the trucking company, the vehicle’s owner, the manufacturer of a faulty part, and their different insurance carriers. These cases demand a deep investigation to identify every party that shares liability.
I was a pedestrian hit in a crosswalk in Downtown LA. Is that a strong case?
Generally, pedestrians in marked or unmarked crosswalks have the right-of-way. If a driver failed to yield and hit you, there is a strong foundation for a claim. However, the insurance company will still investigate the specifics to see if they can argue you shared some of the blame. We will work to make sure no fault is unfairly placed on you.
How long will it take to resolve my case?
Because these injuries involve calculating future damages, these cases take longer than minor injury claims. A proper valuation can only be done once we have a clear understanding of your long-term medical prognosis. A case could take anywhere from several months to a few years to resolve, especially if a trial is required. Our focus is always on securing a full and fair result, not a quick one.
Will I have to go to court?
The majority of personal injury cases settle without a trial. However, our philosophy is to prepare every case from day one as if it is going to court. This level of detailed preparation often convinces the other side to offer a fair settlement from the get-go. If they don’t, we are fully prepared to present your case to a jury.
