How Do I Know If I Have a Case?Empty heading
10990 Wilshire Blvd # 1050, Los Angeles, CA 90024
If you have been involved in an accident, it is important to identify the following three elements to know if you have a case.
- Duty of Care– The person has a responsibility to act reasonably (ex. drivers must follow traffic laws, property owners must maintain safe premises, and dog owners must make sure their dogs don’t bite anyone).
- Breach of Duty– The negligent party failed to uphold that responsibility, such as speeding, drunk driving, or not properly controlling their pet.
- Injury and Damages– As a result of their negligence and/or recklessness, you have suffered injuries.
With these things in mind, it is important to act promptly to ensure your rights are protected. However, if you are unsure whether you have a case, it is always recommended to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer. By doing so, they can provide you with valuable insight for your situation and give you a better understanding of what needs to be done.
How to Establish Negligence in Your Personal Injury ClaimEmpty heading
The essential element of your personal injury claim will be establishing negligence and showing that the opposing party had a duty of care to you and they have broken that duty due to their negligence and/or recklessness. As a result of their actions, they have caused the accident in question and was the direct cause of your injuries.
For example, all drivers have a duty of care to properly follow all rules of the road and if they are breaking traffic laws and are driving recklessly then they can be held liable for any damages they have caused. Whether the at-fault party crashed into you with another vehicle or if they recklessness performed actions that resulted in the accident, California has strict laws about holding the guilty party liable for the physical/emotional suffering and monetary losses.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost In Los Angeles?Empty heading
A Los Angeles personal injury attorney can either charge their clients hourly or through a contingency fee system. Depending on the experience and size of their law firm, the hourly rate will vary on firm by firm basis. However, personal injury attorneys who operate on a contingency fee system will only collect a flat fee only if they win or achieve a settlement offer for their client.
The scope of the flat fee will also vary on a firm by firm basis, but depending on the nature of the case this fee can be negotiable. However, it is recommended for clients to talk to several attorneys and understand how much of their legal fees will be and what they can do to get you the maximum compensation for your claim.
How Long After an Accident Can I File a Claim?Empty heading
In Los Angeles personal injury claims, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the incident as per California Code of Civil Procedure 335.1. Should the injured party fail to submit a claim within that time period, the statute of limitations will take into effect and they will automatically waive their right to recover compensation from the at-fault party.
The only exception to the statute of limitations is unless the injured party is a minor, in jail, living out-of-state, or is mentally incapable of doing so. Due to the complex nature of personal injury law, it is important to file a claim as soon as possible with legal professionals who understand the urgency and the legal process.
