We Get the Money Accident Victims Need to Get Back on Their Feet

A car accident injury can leave victims struggling with expensive medical bills, vehicle repair costs, and other collision-related damages. If a negligent driver caused your crash, we can help you recover these expenses and other losses so that you do not pay out of pocket. 

Our law firm will aggressively seek the maximum compensation possible with an auto-liability insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. In general, our Van Nuys personal injury lawyers can pursue the following types of damages:

• Medical expenses: We want you to have the money you need for your medical care, now and in the future. We will seek compensation for current and ongoing medical treatment, including doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, follow-up procedures, physical therapy, rehabilitation, mobility aids, medical equipment, and long-term nursing. 
• Lost income: Lost income may include wages and benefits from missed work as well as the loss of your future earning capacity if you cannot go back to work due to a permanent or disabling injury. 
• Property damage: We can seek the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle. We can also seek compensation for miscellaneous expenses, including household services, medical travel, and medically necessary modifications to your home or vehicle. 
• Pain and suffering: Also called non-economic damages, pain and suffering compensates victims for intangible losses, including severe and chronic physical pain, disfigurement, scarring, emotional distress, mental anguish, and lost quality of life. 

Additionally, our Van Nuys wrongful death lawyers can seek compensation for surviving family members if your loved one died due to a fatal car accident. Wrongful death damages may include medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, loss of the deceased’s income and services, and the loss of the deceased’s guidance, companionship, and society.

We Will Prove a Negligent Driver is Liable for Your Collision

A party is liable (i.e., legally responsible) for a car accident if their negligence caused the collision. In a car accident case, negligence is any behavior that violates traffic laws or falls outside what most other people would find reasonable or necessary. Examples of diver negligence include:

• Failing to yield the right of way
• Failing to stop at a red light or stop sign
• Making an improper turn 
• Failing to maintain lane position
• Illegally passing
• Tailgating
• Speeding
• Drinking and driving
• Texting and driving
• Aggressive or reckless driving

Our car accident lawyers will use evidence to prove that a negligent driver caused your crash and the resulting injury and damages. Our attorneys can:

• Take photographs and video footage of the accident scene
• Locate available surveillance, dashcam, or cell phone video of the crash
• Identify and interview eyewitnesses
• Obtain police reports and medical records
• Hire and consult with relevant case experts when necessary
• Prove your losses using estimates, pay stubs, bills, and receipts

Although most collisions involve a negligent motorist, sometimes there can be other car accident causes and other liable parties. Our law firm can pursue claims against negligent mechanics or manufacturers for crashes involving vehicle or auto parts defects. We can also assist with claims against public or private property owners in cases involving negligent or dangerous roadways. When needed, we can file multiple claims against multiple parties. 

What If You Are Partially At Fault? 

California follows a pure comparative negligence doctrine. Under this system, personal injury victims can seek compensation, even if they are 99 percent responsible for their accident. However, any fault a jury assigns to a victim will reduce their damages accordingly. For example, if you have $100,000 in losses but a jury finds you 40 percent liable for your crash, you would receive $60,000. 

Insurance companies will consider your degree of fault when offering you a settlement, so comparative negligence will affect your case even if you do not go to court. Our attorneys will not allow insurers or opposing legal counsel to blame you for an accident in order to reduce their client’s financial responsibility. We will stand up to allegations of negligence that may be levied against you. 

Time Limits for Seeking Car Accident Compensation 

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in California is generally two years, according to CCP § 335.1. If the deadline passes and you have not taken legal action, the court will likely bar your case. If you can no longer sue, it will also reduce your bargaining power with the insurance company, so these time limits matter, even if you expect to settle your claim outside of court.
