About Personal Injury Cases

Can my family members also get money in a California Personal Injury?

If your family members witnessed you get injured due to the negligence or intentional act of a 3rd party, they have a cause of action for negligent infliction of emotional distress. Most P.I. attorneys do not even know about this cause of action. Our firm will assert it on behalf of your family members. The spouse of an injured party can assert a cause of action for loss of consortium. Loss of consortium in a nutshell is the loss of loving enjoyment in the marital household. Your spouse is entitled to recover money for the loss of the things that the injured spouse cannot do due to their injury, that they used to be able to do before they were injured. Again, most P.I. attorneys do not know about this cause of action, and do not assert it on behalf of spouses, we do. Finally family members can recover in the event of a wrongful death of a family member due to the negligence or intentional act of a 3rd person. Special rules apply. Call us at 800-816-1529 x. 1 to discuss.

Why should I retain a personal injury lawyer if I can settle it myself?

It is very simple, in 99.7% of all cases, an attorney will get you more money than if you do not have a lawyer. Personal Injury as is most areas of the law, a very complicated practice area. The insurance companies are looking for a sucker who is not represented by a lawyer. They may offer you a small slice of what your case is actually worth just to get you to sign settlement papers before you retain personal injury lawyers like us. Once you sign the settlement papers, your personal injury case is over and we will no longer be able to help you. Would you give yourself a stomach operation? Of course not, so why do you think you can play attorney in your case. Of course you should retain an attorney for your personal injury case. Why do you think we exist?

How much money will I get in my Personal Injury case?

If we knew the answer to this question, we could also tell you what the winning lottery numbers will be. Generally the amount of money your personal injury case is worth is directly proportional to the nature and extent of your injuries, and the amount of your medical bills. If you are seriously injured and you have a large amount of medical bills, you will generally get more money than if you are not seriously injured and you have only treated once or twice at the doctor. With that being said, each case is different, and by no means should you decide not to call us just because you may not be seriously injured.

What is a contingency fee?

A contingency fee is a fee where an attorney or law firm takes a percentage of whatever is recovered instead of an upfront fee. Our firm uses contingency fees on Personal Injury cases so you do not have to pay any money unless we recover for you.
