Steps to Recovering Personal Injury Damages in Newport Beach

No two cases are alike. We carefully analyze every client’s case and develop a legal strategy that is consistent with their needs, concerns, and goals. Generally, personal injury cases follow a pattern that may go something like this:

The first thing we do is listen to your story. From there, we go on to collect evidence in support of your case. Such evidence might include witness statements, video footage and photos, or the police report.
Next, we build your case to demonstrate the defendant’s liability for your injuries. We also gather records and documentation that supports the losses you’ve experienced because of your injuries.
We send a demand letter that details the extent of your injuries and losses.
We negotiate with the insurance company for a settlement that covers all your losses. We keep fighting for the money that is rightfully yours.
If the insurer refuses to agree to a fair settlement, we can take your case to trial. When a case does go to trial, we represent our clients just as we did during negotiations: with the determination to champion their rights and get them the money their family needs as quickly as possible.

All throughout the legal process, you get to work directly with your personal injury attorney. Our Newport Beach personal injury lawyers treat every client like our only client. We make you our priority throughout your case.

Personal Injury Compensation Is Available for a Limited Time

According to CCP § 335.1, your case is only valid if you start it within two years of the day you were injured. If you fail to file your lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires, you may be unable to bring your case and recover damages.

It’s crucial to act quickly. Call KJT Law Group today to get started on your case.

When Personal Injuries Cause Wrongful Deaths in Newport Beach

It is a tragic fact that not everyone survives their personal injury accidents. If this is the situation your family faces, you may understandably be experiencing a wide range of emotions, from shock and anger to grief and depression. While KJT Law Group can never make up for losing your loved one, we can do the following:

File Your Wrongful Death Case in Time

In wrongful death cases, the deadline to file your case starts from the day your loved one passed away. In the midst of your bereavement, it would be easy to miss this deadline, which is generally two years in California.

Seeking legal representation can protect your rights. Our accident attorneys can help you take the appropriate legal action against the at-fault party in time.

Newport Beach Personal Injury FAQs

How much compensation can I expect from a personal injury settlement in Newport Beach?

The value of a Newport Beach personal injury settlement depends on the specific facts of your case. Factors include the severity of your injuries, how much medical care you need, whether you can return to work, and the long-term impact on your quality of life. While some cases resolve for tens of thousands of dollars, catastrophic injury cases may result in settlements or verdicts worth millions. A Newport Beach personal injury lawyer at KJT Law Group can review your losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, to calculate a fair settlement range tailored to your situation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Newport Beach?

California law (CCP § 335.1) generally gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If your case involves wrongful death, the two-year window usually begins on the date of your loved one’s passing. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering damages, no matter how strong your case is. Working with KJT Law Group ensures that your Newport Beach personal injury attorney keeps track of every filing deadline while you focus on recovery.

Do most Newport Beach personal injury cases settle, or do they go to trial?

Most personal injury cases in Newport Beach are resolved through settlement negotiations with insurance companies. Settlements are typically faster and less stressful than trials. However, if an insurer refuses to make a fair offer, your attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit and preparing for court. At KJT Law Group, our Newport Beach personal injury lawyers negotiate aggressively for clients but are also ready to take cases to trial to fight for the maximum compensation available under California law.

What happens if the insurance company offers me a quick settlement in Newport Beach?

Insurance companies often try to settle quickly for less than your case is worth. These early offers may not account for future medical costs, ongoing therapy, or lost earning capacity. Accepting too soon can leave you without the resources you need later. A Newport Beach personal injury lawyer from KJT Law Group can review any settlement offer, calculate your true damages, and negotiate with the insurer to secure fair compensation before you agree to anything.
