Auto Accidents

After a car accident, you are likely to have a lot of questions. Whose fault was the collision? Will you have to pay out of pocket to have your car repaired or replaced? Who is responsible for your injuries and the resulting medical bills?

At KJT Law Group, we recognize that this is a confusing, stressful, and difficult time in your life—but our team can help. Our Los Angeles car accident lawyers have extensive experience navigating all types of auto accident claims, including those involving rear-end and head-on collisions, rollovers, large trucks and commercial vehicles, Ubers and Lyfts, side-impact crashes, and more. We can help you file a claim with the liable party’s insurance company or, if necessary, pursue fair compensation at trial.

Every year, thousands of people are injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents in California. Tragically, most of these accidents are preventable and should never have happened.

The number one cause of auto accidents in California—and throughout the U.S.—is negligence. This negligence takes many forms, but some of the most common include:

In some cases, it is not the negligence of another motorist but the negligence of a separate third party that causes or contributes to a collision. For example, a manufacturer that sells a defective vehicle or auto part could be held liable if it is found that the defect led to the accident.

Determining the cause of an accident is important, as it often indicates who is liable for the victims’ resulting injuries and damages. At KJT Law Group, our Los Angeles car accident attorneys have the tools and resources to thoroughly investigate car accident claims and determine who is responsible. We are happy to answer any questions you may have during a free and confidential consultation.

California is one of several states that follows a traditional fault-based (or “tort”) system when it comes to car insurance and accident claims. This means that injured accident victims generally must file personal injury and/or property damage claims with the at-fault party’s insurance provider if they wish to recover compensation for their damages.

You may be able to recover compensation through your own auto insurance coverage, depending on the type of policy you have. However, if you can prove that another person or party was at least partially at fault for the accident, you can file a claim against their insurance provider. In some cases, you may also be able to sue the at-fault party for damages.

The vast majority of car accidents involve claims against other drivers, but our team at KJT Law Group can evaluate your case and identify all liable parties. We leave no stone unturned when it comes to pursuing the maximum compensation our clients deserve, and we are prepared to use all available resources to fully investigate your claim.

Damages in Car Accident Claims

A serious car accident can leave you facing significant hardships. You may be dealing with large, mounting medical bills and lost wages after being forced to take time off work to heal. You might find yourself struggling to cope with the physical pain and emotional suffering caused by the collision, not to mention numerous other unexpected challenges.

Our Los Angeles car accident lawyers are here to help you seek fair compensation for all your damages, including but not limited to:

Every case is unique, and the specific factors involved in your crash will play a large role in the types of damages and overall amount of compensation you are entitled to receive. We can discuss the potential value of your case in greater detail during a free, confidential consultation.

Although you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits by law, actually recovering those benefits is not a given. You need an experienced and knowledgeable attorney by your side who can help you navigate the process and avoid making any mistakes that could jeopardize your claim.

At KJT Law Group, we assist our clients with all aspects of workers’ compensation, including but not limited to:

If your workers’ compensation claim was denied, you are allowed to appeal the decision. Workers’ compensation claims are denied for many reasons, from disputes over coverage to missing information or failure to report the injury. If your claim was denied, it is not the end of the road.

At KJT Law Group, we help injured employees appeal denied workers’ compensation claims and seek the fair benefits they are owed. The appeals process is complex and lengthy; we strongly recommend that you work with an experienced attorney to improve your chances of a successful outcome. You will need to complete and submit various forms and paperwork, gather evidence in support of your claim, and attend a workers’ compensation appeals hearing. Our team can help you prepare your appeal and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.
