Why should you hire a PI lawyer? 

There are numerous advantages to hiring an experienced personal injury attorney:

  • While you focus on your physical recovery, we focus on your legal claim.
  • We investigate and collect evidence to help prove the legal elements of your case, identify any at-fault parties and pursue maximum compensation.
  • We apply our knowledge of past cases to make an appropriate demand for damages.
  • We draft and file the complaint, along with other legal documents.

Perhaps most importantly, we level the playing field between you and the defendant, whose insurance company will work with its legal department to deny your claim.

Factors impacting damages in a California personal injury case

An individual who is injured due to another person’s wrongful act or omission is entitled to financial coverage for the losses he or she suffers. Economic losses can include present and future medical expenses, lost wages, property damage and the loss of future earning capacity. But a plaintiff can also recover for non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress triggered by the defendant’s negligence.  

How much you might recover in your case depends on a number of factors, including:

  • The strength of the evidence indicating fault and causation
  • The severity of your injuries
  • Your prognosis for recovery
  • The impact of your injuries on your quality of life

You only have two years from the date of the incident to file a claim, so it is best to act promptly.

The knowledge and resources to handle the most complex negligence claims

A personal injury case can have unforeseen complications. In one wrongful death case, the defendant our client was suing died during litigation. Though the action could proceed against the defendant’s estate, the procedure to resolve the matter was outside the average lawyer’s range of experience. By pooling the knowledge of our litigators and our trust, estate and probate lawyers, we were able to deliver comprehensive legal support to the victim’s family. Our firm created an estate, investigated assets that could be obtained for damages above the insurance policy limit, and settled favorably with the defendant’s legal counsel.
