Filing an Injury Claim

Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney

When someone is injured through the carelessness of another it is widely accepted that the victim is owed restitution.  This principle is reflected in our laws.  Drivers, homeowners, renters and business owners have insurance coverage for just this purpose.  Theoretically one should be able to establish the amount of expense involved and the responsible person's insurance company would verify your facts and issue a payment.  In reality insurance companies are very good at collecting funds but are very unwilling to pay out compensation to the injured. It usually takes aLos Angeles personal injury attorney to ensure the injured person is fairly compensated.  Statistics show that victims represented by experienced legal counsel will generally receive a settlement which is much greater than the amount received by the victim who files a claim himself.

Personal Injury Lawyer in Los Angeles

Serious injuries often result in serious consequences, huge medical bills, overdue bills, anxious creditors, and financial stresses not to mention the pain and suffering which comes after the injury.  If you are prevented from working for a period of time as a result of injuries caused by someone else's negligence you and your family may be feeling some concern and uncertainty about the future.  Will the injuries heal fully or will there be a long term or permanent disability?  Will future medical treatment be necessary?  If so, what type, how much treatment, and what will it cost?  The average injured person doesn't have the knowledge and experience to be able to adequately answer these questions.  The other person's insurance company is not going to help you to answer these questions.  A personal injury lawyer with our firm utilizes the knowledge of medical experts, life-planning experts and others when preparing to file an injury claim for a client.  In this way your future needs can be predicted and included in the settlement demand along with your medical expenses, lost income and other accident related costs.

As experienced negotiators we routinely bring injury cases to a close without going to court.  However when agreement on an equitable amount of compensation cannot be reached then we are ready to proceed to take the case to a jury.  If you or a loved one have questions about filing an injury claim for damages, consult a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Loren M.
