We know a car accident can be like a lightning strike, it comes out of nowhere and can be scarier than Freddie Kruger on Halloween. Legal Fighters personal injury attorneys understand the crushing impact a car accident can have on your life and the lives of your family. We have the skills, experience, and resources required to fight unresponsive negligent individuals and their insurance companies. Our number one priority is to ensure that you receive the settlement you deserve, covering not only medical expenses, but lost income, as well as pain and suffering and more.
First, it is important to realize you are not alone. California was the site of 216,366 auto accidents in 2022. 165,978 people just like you suffered injuries in the accidents. 95,609 were drivers and 29,543 were passengers. The highest number of California accidents occur in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Sacramento.
Our car accident lawyers have experience in managing auto accident claims involving both common and unique injuries like amputation, back Injury, burn Injury, neck Injury, orthopedic Injury, paraplegia/quadriplegia Injury, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, whiplash, and wrongful death.
In short, we have seen it all. While your car accident injury may be a once-in-a lifetime event for you, Legal Fighters attorneys have been there and done that.
There are fault and no-fault car insurance states. California is a fault state, not a no-fault state. In a fault state like California, insurance companies play a major role in determining fault and liability in car accidents. The insurance companies will investigate and determine who was at fault for the accident, based on police reports, witness statements, and other evidence. That is why it is so critical that your interests are represented by an experienced personal injury attorney as soon after the incident as possible.
Thanks to our 20 years of experience in over 6,000 cases, we understand your concerns and are well prepared to address them, including:
Car accident victims are often persuaded to try to obtain a quick settlement directly from the insurance companies, without the help of a lawyer. This can be a significant error in judgement that could cost you thousands of dollars in benefits!
It is important to note the insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to settle for as little as possible. A single wrong word or oversight in your interactions with them can lead to your claim being significantly reduced or even completely denied.
Legal Fighters attorneys know exactly how to handle the insurance companies and position you to receive maximum compensation for your injuries. Our Legal Fighters will maximize your settlement by determining all damages, including economic and non-economic losses including:
Even if the other driver is uninsured, if you have uninsured motorist protection on your insurance policy, then your insurance provider must cover you up to the policy limits of your uninsured motorist protection. You may also be able to receive compensation for your damages, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages, and medical expenses.
What may seem to be a minor car accident can quickly become extremely expensive. Auto accident injuries can take months, even years, to fully heal, while lost wages and other expenses continue to mount.
We all know the cost of living in California is high. That is why the average settlement from an auto accident in the state is $21,000 compared to $15,443 nationally. Additionally, California does not have a statutory cap on most types of damages in personal injury cases. Legal Fighters will make sure your settlement includes both specific and general damages.
Specific damages to recover past and future medical bills, lost wages, lost earning potential, necessary home or vehicle modifications, repair/replacement services such as childcare or home and vehicle maintenance.
General damages to compensate you for physical pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and emotional distress.
At Legal Fighters, we have recovered over $2.5 billion in damages for our injured clients.
Just like delaying action to treat a medical condition can have a negative impact, so too can procrastinating about the injury you suffered in an auto accident. Delayed shock symptoms are common.
It’s common to feel minor aches and pain immediately after a car accident, and it’s also not unusual for pain symptoms to develop days or even weeks after a collision. For instance, you may notice soreness in your neck or shoulders, start to have abdominal pain, or get headaches hours or days after the accident.
Chest pain, difficulty breathing, or shortness of breath should be red flags following a car accident. They could signify chest injuries, internal injuries, rib fractures, or a punctured lung. You should never ignore breathing impairments and seek medical attention promptly to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
Emotional and Cognitive Symptoms: Anxiety, depression, mood swings, or memory issues are also common.
In addition to being the equivalent of a ticking time bomb for your health, injuries with delayed symptoms can also make it more difficult to obtain compensation for your accident. Unlike a broken arm or leg which is treated immediately, if you start to experience headaches a few days after the accident, an insurance company can point to the delay in time and argue that something else may have happened in between to cause your headaches. By contacting an attorney immediately after the incident, you protect yourself against experiencing delayed symptoms.
