L.A. Personal Injury Attorney FAQs

Personal injury comes down to one thing: you were injured due to someone else’s negligence. When this happens, you have the right to hold that person, company, or government agency responsible and gain compensation for your injuries and expenses. Insurance companies and other people’s lawyers will try to get you to accept a small payout and sign away your rights, but don’ let this happen. You deserve an LA lawyer to represent you and fight for justice.

Despite what you may think, hiring a personal injury attorney is not expensive, but hiring the wrong attorney can be. If you need a personal injury attorney in the Los Angeles area, rest assured that good help is nearby. Our team at Novik Law Group will help create the best possible outcome for your case, and we’ll work for free until you win. But before reaching out to hire us, let us help you learn more about all that a personal injury attorney can do for you.

Getting involved in a car accident or some other injury-producing accident can have devastating, lifelong consequences. You need an advocate on your side who understands what you are going through. To us, our clients are like family – and we always fight for our clients’ rights.

After accidents, it’s common to be placed on disability and to be physically unable to work. We understand this and work with clients to help maintain their finances while they are recovering from their injuries. When necessary, we also assist with transportation costs to and from court hearings as well as financial aid via settlement-funding options.

We’re on your side, and we have a firm that is designed to help you through this challenging time.

Catastrophic injuries can result from just about any mishap – and they are life-altering. Recovery from such an injury can take years, and even then only partial recovery might be possible. Putting a financial value on a catastrophic injury can be difficult, since the long-term consequences are so far-reaching, but an experienced lawyer will know how to calculate what you need. It is important to remember that you and your loved ones deserve compensation to help ease the financial burdens you face now and down the road.

 

Catastrophic injuries are often categorized as one of the following:

 

  • Head or spinal trauma without disability: Long-term, sometimes lifelong, pain and suffering usually accompany these types of injuries. They can be expensive in the long run due to the rehabilitation, physical therapy, and long-term psychological treatment that may be necessary after such a traumatic accident.

 

  • Head or spinal trauma with disability: When permanent damage to the brain or spinal cord results in some form of disability. While modern treatments and technology allow for a fuller lifestyle than in the past, the long-term daily repercussions of this type of injury are hard to fully imagine after the initial accident.

 

  • Fatality: Damage to the brain, spinal cord, or other parts of the body may be too severe and ultimately prove fatal.

 

No dollar amount can make up for the loss of a loved one; wrongful death claims are merely a way to hold people accountable for their actions and help offset the expenses involved in a sudden death.

In a personal injury lawsuit, you are going to hear the terms “negligence” and “liability,” so let’s go over what these words mean. Negligence refers to when someone’s actions are contrary to what a reasonable person would be expected to do in the same situation. For example, firing a gun in a crowded area would be considered negligence (at the very least) because a reasonable person would not do this, knowing that others could be harmed.

 

Liability means that someone’s negligence directly contributed to or caused an injury to someone else. In the previous example, if someone is struck by a bullet, the shooter can be held civilly liable since his negligence directly caused the victim’s injury.

 

On the other hand, while driving under the influence of alcohol is negligent, if someone is injured falling down the stairs across the street from a drunk driver, the driver is not liable for the fall, since the two events are not connected.

Our personal injury attorneys are litigation attorneys. We go to the mat on cases where the insurance companies refuse to be reasonable. Be it mediation, arbitration, or trial, we have the experience and the resources to effectively fight for your rights and the maximum amount of damages. Our attorneys have collected MILLIONS OF DOLLARS for our clients through our relentless litigation. We have the track record of success and the experience to maximize your case. For a free consultation, please call any of our personal injury attorneys at (818) 305-6041.

Personal injury lawyers in Los Angeles are responsible for providing legal services to individuals that have experienced an injury. Services can include filing lawsuits, consultation, evidence collecting, providing legal representation, and anything it takes to get you the justice you deserve. A good personal injury lawyer truly goes beyond just handling legal matters. They can help provide victims with comfort and security during a time of need. Later on we will review various types of personal injury accidents, so keep reading.

Personal injuries can include injury to a person physically or emotionally, or to their reputation. For a personal injury claim to be made in a court of law, the claim must fall within one of the three grounds, or rational motives, that make personal injury claims valid. The three grounds are negligence, strict liability, and intentional wrongs.

 

  1. Negligence: Liability from negligence is most commonly the result of an individual’s failure to act with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised in the same situation. 
  2. Strict liability: Strict liability is when an individual or a company commits an action that causes harm to another person. Whether it was intentional or not or whatever mental state the defendant was in does not matter. 
  3. Intentional wrongs: An intentional act of an individual or company to do harm to a person that results in injury. For example, assault, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Personal injury cases are common in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. The most common personal injury cases involve automobile accidents. Here is a list of some of the other most common types of personal injury cases in the Los Angeles area.

 

  1. Automobile accidents
  2. Slip and fall accidents
  3. Workplace accidents
  4. Dog bites
  5. Assault
  6. Medical malpractice
  7. Product defect accidents
  8. Nursing home abuse
  9. Defamation
  10. Intentional infliction of emotional distress
  11. Malicious prosecution

If you have suffered a personal injury and you suspect that you have grounds for a claim against a potentially liable party, there are a few things you need to do after the injury occurs.

#1. Seek medical attention

First, seek medical attention immediately. Even if you do not think you need medical attention, see a doctor right away. Some injuries may not be apparent when you first are injured, or, you may be suffering from a bit of shock that can desensitize you to pain. Either way, by seeing a doctor right away, they can complete a full evaluation and provide proper treatment. 

#2. Find a lawyer

Second, find a personal injury lawyer. The best way to find a lawyer is to get a referral from a friend, family member, or co-worker who has had a similar experience and received good results. If you cannot get a referral, then do your research diligently and find an experienced personal injury lawyer who has successfully brought many cases to trial and won. During consultations, you can ask attorneys what their success rate is.

Beyond that, find an attorney with good character and work ethic. You should be able to identify these qualities after an initial consultation. Remember, this individual is going to help you through a tough time so choose someone you feel you can trust.

Also, you may want to look for a law firm that will give you a free consultation and review your case. If they feel that you have a valid personal injury claim, often they may take on your case on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, the Novik Law Group can help you get the justice you deserve. As a team of experienced personal injury attorneys, the Novik Law Group will fight to make it right. Novik Law Group handles all cases on a contingency basis, therefore, if we don’t win, you don’t pay.

#3. Help with the investigation

Personal injury attorneys may request your help investigating the accident and gathering evidence to prove that your injuries were a direct result of someone else’s negligence. Answer whatever questions they may have, and participate in the investigation however the attorney needs, and if they play devil’s advocate, do not get offended. They are simply trying to make sure your case is airtight. Part of the process is predicting how the other side is going to attack your version of events. Being honest with your attorney can allow them to represent you in the best way possible. 

#4. Determine compensation

Working with your attorney, you can determine what you may need to be compensated for depending on what kind of injuries you sustained. You may need compensation to cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and if the accident was caused by extreme negligence, punitive damages may be appropriate. An attorney working on a contingency basis can help you get more compensation since they’re literally invested in winning the case.

Anytime you have suffered a personal injury, it may be wise to seek out a free consultation from an experienced personal injury lawyer. They will have the legal knowledge and experience to determine whether or not your case is worth pursuing. Attorneys that operate on a contingency basis may be more upfront about case expectations since they will not be paid unless you win in most cases.

You should hire a personal injury attorney after you have received a free consultation and it has been determined that you have a claim that is valid. Before you go in from the consultation, you should do your research on the firm to make sure that they have the trial experience and success record that demonstrates that they are capable of helping you receive just compensation for your injuries.

If you have a personal injury claim that is seeking less than $10,000 in damages, you can always file your case with the Los Angeles County Small Claims Division. If you are seeking damages for more than $10,000, then your personal injury attorney most likely will file the personal injury on your behalf. There are different procedures for suing a person versus suing a business.

Once a lawsuit has been filed, the defendant has 30 days to file an official response with the court if the papers were served to them directly. If the papers were mailed to the defendant, they then have 40 days from the postmarked date to respond. After that, the time it takes for the lawsuit to play out depends on the complexity of the case and whether or not the case is settled or goes to trial.

Although some personal injury attorneys may be able to get a settlement offer within a few weeks, the average personal injury case can take up to 1 to 3 years before a settlement is finalized. 

 

Whether you’ve hired an attorney or not, you may have a lot of questions about what to expect. Don’t be shy with these questions. While the internet is a great resource for information, your attorney can provide the most accurate information. If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney in the Los Angeles area,  or want a second opinion, reach out to the Novik Law Group. After an accident, the faster you take action, the better.
