Personal Injury Law Altadena

Help Starts Here

Personal Injury

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population in Altadena, California in 2020 was 42,846. With so many people living and working in the same area, it becomes inevitable that some of them will behave negligently and cause injury to others.

If you were injured in a negligence-related accident, you are not alone, and you have rights. Call KJT Law Group at (818) 507-8525 for more information on the services we can offer in your time of need.

How Our Team Assists Altadena Clients

Our clients are all very different in terms of what kind of injury they suffered, how the injury occurred, and how much their case is worth. That is why KJT Law Group insists on getting to know you and your case early on in the process. This includes:

Providing you with a free, confidential case assessment even before you hire us
Meeting with you face to face so you can tell us your story, and we, in turn, can ask questions about what you have gone through
Collecting documentary evidence related to the accident, such as medical records and surveillance footage
Speaking with people who have relevant knowledge, such as eyewitnesses, your close relatives, or economic experts

The more information we can collect, the better our position may be when we move on to the next step: analyzing and interpreting that information to build a strong case. We can do this by:

Calculating how much money your case is worth, taking into account what you have already lost and what you are likely to lose in the future
Reconstructing your accident to demonstrate that the liable party is legally responsible for what happened
Anticipating any arguments the liable party’s team might make (e.g., blaming you for the accident) and ensuring we have the evidence to disprove their claims against you

Going to Bat for You

Once we have the strongest possible case file, we can get in touch with the liable party’s insurance company. This initial contact may take the form of a demand letter that describes the accident, the liable party’s role in it, and how much money you expect the insurer to pay you.

Our next move would depend on how the insurer reacts to the demand letter. Our firm is prepared to:

Negotiate for a better settlement if the settlement they offer does not meet your needs
Prepare the settlement agreement once we reach a satisfactory agreement with the insurer
Take the liable party to court and present your case in front of a judge and jury if the insurer does not cooperate

Finally, along the way, our firm can be there to ensure you are comfortable and well-informed throughout your case. We make every effort to provide responsive, compassionate representation by:

Answering all of your questions as quickly as possible
Explaining each of your legal options, including the pros and cons of each
Advising you as to which options may best serve you and your family

Altadena Accidents and Injuries Take Many Forms

Our team has represented clients who suffered all manner of injuries and losses after various kinds of accidents. In the past, we have helped clients who were dealing with:

Physical injuries, such as whiplash, broken bones, head injuries, and back and spine injuries
Psychological injuries, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression
Financial losses, such as reduced income, medical expenses, and the cost of hiring someone to do your regular household chores
Property damage, such as the destruction of a vehicle or expensive electronics
Professional losses, such as an inability to return to a previous job or to qualify for new jobs or promotions

These injuries resulted from accidents such as:

Car accidents
Truck accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Slip and fall accidents
Dog bites
Workplace injuries
Faulty products
Defective drugs

Tragically, some of the injuries and accidents described above proved fatal to the victim. Whether your loved one died instantly or sometime after the accident, your family has the right to:

Hire one of our lawyers to protect your rights
Hold the liable party responsible for their actions by collecting compensation for loss of financial support and funeral expenses
Collect workers’ compensation death benefits if your loved one passed away due to an on-the-job accident

Why Hiring an Altadena Attorney Is Important

When you sustain a serious injury, you have a lot of things to worry about, including:

Getting—and paying for—necessary medical care
Dealing with physical pain, emotional trauma, and other symptoms
How you can continue to support your family while you are unable to work
Protecting your rights from insurance companies and other parties that have an interest in preventing you from receiving appropriate compensation

Trying to juggle all of these tasks by yourself is risky: not only can it cause undue stress when you are least equipped to handle it, but you could also find yourself at the mercy of lawyers and insurance adjusters who refuse to negotiate or try to blame the accident on you. KJT Law Group can provide you with a personal injury lawyer who serves Altadena and can take care of all the stressful, time-consuming tasks associated with a lawsuit. Above all, however, our job is to:

Give clients the chance to recover from their injuries in peace
Protect clients by making sure they understand their rights and speaking on the client’s behalf to insurers and other parties
Fight hard for the compensation that our clients need and deserve, no matter what obstacles stand in the way

Your right to seek compensation is limited: as CCP § 335.1 states, you must generally begin your case within two years of the injury date. We encourage you to contact us as soon as possible so you can start weighing your options while there is still time.
