Causes of car accidents

Laws have been put in place to protect you after you’ve been injured as a result of the carelessness and negligence of somebody else. California even has its Wrongful Death Act for the family members of those who were killed through the negligence of others.

In the context of motor vehicle collisions alone, our law firm has recovered tens of millions of dollars for clients injured in crashes involving:

• Hit-and-runs
• Failure to yield the right of way
• Distracted driving
• Fatigued driving
• Drunk driving

Effects of car accidents

From handling insurance adjusters who act like they’re paying money out of their own pockets to protecting and advocating your rights in a trial, you can be assured that the insurance defense attorney, your judge, and your jury will be taking your case seriously. Just some of the types of the cases that we represent clients on include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck and back fractures and disc herniations
• Extremity Fractures
• Severe burns
• Organ damage
• Facial fractures and dental injuries
• Wrongful death

Choosing a Thousand Oaks Motorcycle and Bicycle Accident Attorney

The attorney you choose for your Thousand Oaks motorcycle or bike accident must have experience and be able to prepare your individual case properly. The lawyer should understand the accident including exactly what occurred to help them understand who was at fault. It’ll help if you have all the details in hand when visiting the lawyer for the first time.

Before taking on a case, the attorney will have to identify all physical evidence that can be used against the opposition. This includes police reports, photos, witness statements, and medical records from the accident. Bringing those to your lawyer will help him or she understand the case before they’ll decide to commit to a client.

While you shouldn’t feel that you need to investigate on your own to ensure you can get a lawyer to handle your case, you should be prepared to bring all paperwork to the office during your consultation. You’ll want to be sure that your potential attorney understands your types of cases, and you’ll also want to know how successful he or she has been with similar other cases. You don’t want an attorney who has lost many cases or has never brought a case against a defendant previously.

When it comes to motorcycle or bicycle accidents, riders can end up with serious injuries. This requires a professional who can:

• Learn who is at fault
• Calculate the damages you’re owed
• Communicate with the opposition’s lawyers and the insurance company

What can our lawyers do for you?

If you or a family member have been hospitalized as the result of an accident, the bills for doctors, hospitals, rehabilitation, and medication can be staggering. California law allows you to seek a wide range of damages. Just some of those damages include:

• Past and future medical bills
• Past and future lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Any permanent disfigurement
• Any permanent disability
• Loss of a normal life
• Funeral and burial expenses in the event of a wrongful death

Why you should hire an attorney

If you try to collect these types of damages on your own without the knowledge and experience of a respected personal injury lawyer, you might get some of what you deserve, but you’re unlikely to receive anything near maximum full and fair compensation. While you’re trying to do that without us, you’re probably prejudicing your rights and your case if a lawsuit has to be filed in the future.

Those are mistakes that no attorney might be able to fix. Although it’s against the law for us to give you a guarantee, we can state with a high degree of certainty that whatever recovery we’re able to get for you, your net proceeds after legal fees will likely be significantly higher than whatever you might be able to do on your own.

Whether it’s you or a loved one who was seriously injured in an accident, or if you lost a family member through the carelessness and negligence of somebody else, you need the involvement of our law firm as soon as possible. Evidence can disappear or get destroyed, and witnesses can vanish into thin air.
