Why Acting Fast Protects Your Case

California’s statute of limitations for California car accident claims is 2 years from the date of the crash. Once this deadline passes, your right to recover compensation is permanently lost, no matter how strong your case is.

Beyond the legal deadline, every week you wait can hurt your case:

Surveillance and dashcam footage gets overwritten, often within 30 days
Witnesses become harder to locate and their memories fade
Medical records become harder to tie directly to the incident
Insurance adjusters use any delay as evidence your injuries were not serious

How Our Los Angeles Car Accident Law Firm Can Help

The Los Angeles car crash lawyer we assign to you will help you understand your legal options, take the burden away from you, and secure the amount of compensation you need to cover all facets of your recovery:

Recovering Lost Wages: If the car crash has compromised your ability to work, we will relentlessly pursue the recovery of wages lost during your period of incapacitation, including potential future earnings if you are dealing with long-term consequences.
Help With Medical Bills: Mounting medical expenses can be a source of stress and uncertainty. Our firm strives to ensure your medical bills, ongoing care costs, and any required rehabilitation expenses are fully accounted for in your settlement.
Types of Damages: This includes compensation for road defects that contributed to the incident or automobile defects that may have exacerbated injuries. Our knowledgeable auto accident attorneys will work tirelessly to identify all avenues for compensation.
Emotional Recovery: Our empathetic team will work to ensure your emotional recovery is prioritized, including seeking compensation for pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Fighting Insurance Companies: Insurance companies often take advantage of victims’ vulnerability by pushing lowball settlements or denying valid accident claims altogether. Your assigned attorney in Los Angeles will know exactly how to negotiate with insurance companies and fight for your rights, ensuring you receive the full and fair compensation you deserve.

For a specific case example, a woman suffered an injury to the facet joints in her cervical spine resulting in chronic pain after being in a rear end car crash. We were able to demonstrate her injury was permanent in nature and obtained a $697,000 verdict with $600,000 in pain and suffering damages.

Advice From Our Experts

If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of a vehicle collision, it’s paramount to know what to do after a car accident that is not your fault. Acting prudently in the moments following an incident can have a significant impact on your ability to recover compensation.

Here’s essential advice to consider:

Get Proper Medical Treatment: Always seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor – some symptoms may not appear until days after the incident.
Stay Off Social Media: It’s crucial to keep details of the accident and your recovery offline. Insurance companies can use your posts against you, undermining your claim.
Don’t Accept the First Offer: Insurance adjusters often propose a quick settlement to minimize payouts. It’s usually not in your best interest to accept this without consulting a lawyer.
Be Careful in Communications: Choose your words wisely when speaking to insurance representatives or better yet, call us. Avoid admitting fault or giving statements that could be misconstrued.
Get in Touch with a Los Angeles Accident Lawyer: Legal expertise is instrumental in navigating the claims process and protecting your rights.

Deadlines

In California, the clock starts ticking on your legal rights from the moment of your car accident. The California car accident statute of limitations sets a strict deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit – generally, this period is two years from the date of the incident.

Missing this deadline often means forfeiting your right to seek compensation, making it critical to act without delay.

Given this time-sensitive nature of your claim, engaging with a competent lawyer can be the difference between a well-supported claim and one that gets dismissed due to a technicality. Moreover, an attorney can help ensure all your filings are done promptly and accurately.

If you’ve been involved in a car accident in Los Angeles or anywhere in California, reaching out to legal counsel as soon as possible not only helps in protecting your rights but also assists in preserving crucial evidence for your case. It’s essential to avoid any delays that could harm your ability to obtain the justice and compensation you deserve.

Gathering Evidence

Gathering evidence promptly after a car accident is a pivotal step towards building a strong legal case. Essential items to collect include:

Police Documentation: Having this official, unbiased account of the accident is highly important to your claim.
Medical Records: Secure all records of your medical treatment and injuries. These documents are crucial in demonstrating the extent and impact of your injuries.
Eyewitness Statements: If possible, gather contact information and statements from individuals who witnessed the accident to corroborate your version of the accident.
Photo/Video Evidence: Capture photographs or video footage of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. This visual evidence helps to establish the severity and aftermath of the collision.
Examples of Driver Negligence: Record any details that might indicate the other driver’s negligence, such as signs of intoxication, admission of distraction, or violation of traffic laws.

We understand that, as a car accident victim, collecting evidence yourself can be overwhelming, particularly while coping with the physical and emotional aftermath of an accident.

We’ll assign you an experienced Los Angeles car accident attorney to alleviate this burden, allowing you to focus on your recovery after the motor vehicle accident while we handle the meticulous work of compiling evidence.

By entrusting us with the legal intricacies, you ensure that every critical piece of evidence is gathered methodically and your claim is fortified to its maximum potential.

What Can I Expect to Pay?

Understanding the cost of legal representation is a crucial concern for many clients. We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning our fees are contingent upon winning your case. You will not be required to pay any upfront costs or attorney’s fees unless we secure compensation for you.

Our fee will be a pre-agreed percentage of the settlement or court-awarded amount. This model aligns our interests with yours, as we are incentivized to maximize your recovery as a personal injury attorney.

With the contingency fee structure, you can rest assured that high-quality legal representation is accessible without the immediate financial burden.

Los Angeles Car Accident Broken Bone Injuries

Car accident fractures change everything in an instant – the impact, the pain, and the months of recovery ahead.

General Information on Car Accidents in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is the largest city in California and consistently ranks among the most collision-dense urban environments in the United States. California Office of Traffic Safety data places Los Angeles County at the top of the state for total collisions, fatal collisions, and injury crashes year after year. The city’s combination of dense freeway corridors (I-405, I-110, I-10, US-101, I-5, I-210), high commuter volumes, heavy commercial truck traffic, and surface-street density across more than 470 square miles produces a traffic injury caseload that materially exceeds any other California municipality. For accident victims, the volume creates both opportunity (multiple defendant pools, sophisticated insurance markets) and complexity (long claim cycles, aggressive carrier representation).

Common Causes of Car Accidents

According to the California Office of Traffic Safety’s published collision rankings, Los Angeles consistently ranks at the top of statewide injury-crash rankings, with the LA Police Department reporting more than 50,000 traffic collisions annually inside city limits alone. Los Angeles County as a whole accounts for roughly a quarter of all California fatal traffic collisions. The corridors that drive most of this volume are well-documented: the I-405 from Sherman Oaks through the Sepulveda Pass to LAX, the I-10 across Mid-City, the I-110 through South Los Angeles, the I-5 through East LA, and Sunset, Wilshire, Olympic, Pico, Vermont, and Sepulveda surface arterials. Speed-related crashes, distracted driving, and impaired driving dominate causation in CHP collision-fault data.

Typical Types of Car Accidents in Los Angeles County

Los Angeles experiences a wider variety of collision types than smaller California cities because of the diversity of its road network. High-speed freeway collisions on the 405 and 101 produce the most catastrophic injuries (TBI, spine, multi-system trauma). Surface-street collisions in Downtown, Hollywood, Koreatown, and the Westside produce high volumes of pedestrian-strike and cyclist-strike cases. Intersection T-bone collisions are common across the city’s grid-pattern arterials. Rear-end collisions dominate the stop-and-go freeway traffic that defines the LA commute. Commercial truck collisions concentrate around the Port of Los Angeles, the I-710 corridor, and the warehousing districts of South LA and the Inland Empire border.

Types of Injuries We See as Lawyers

Feher Law’s extensive experience representing car accident victims across Los Angeles County has given us deep insight into the range and severity of injuries the city’s collision patterns produce. We handle catastrophic injury cases (traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multi-system trauma, wrongful death) that cluster around the freeway corridors, as well as the high-volume soft-tissue cervical and lumbar cases that result from stop-and-go traffic on the 405, 10, 110, and 5. The firm’s case results across LA County include the $14.6 million Simone v. Estate of Bruce Jameson catastrophic spine verdict and other significant LA-market recoveries reflecting the full severity range of LA traffic collision injuries.

FAQs

How Does The Insurance Claim Process Work?

When dealing with car accidents and initiating an insurance claim, the standard procedure is to reach out to your insurance company initially. They will guide you through the process and gather essential information. However, it's crucial to exercise caution in your communication with them and get the assistance of an experienced attorney who can provide invaluable support in navigating these complexities.

Will Hiring A Car Accident Law Firm Make A Difference?

By doing so, you gain immediate access to years of expertise in effectively dealing with insurance companies and navigating the intricacies of the process. This ensures that your rights are safeguarded throughout the proceedings.

What Are The Common Injuries That Are Caused By Car Accidents?

Common injuries resulting from car accidents include whiplash, fractures, concussions, and soft tissue injuries. The severity varies, with some cases leading to long-term consequences. Seeking immediate medical attention and legal guidance is crucial for proper diagnosis, treatment, and potential compensation.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident?

After a car accident, your initial steps should include dialing 911 for police, fire, and urgent medical aid. Simultaneously, reach out to a skilled car accident lawyer in your area to promptly safeguard your legal rights. Additionally, adhere to any prescribed medical treatment for your well-being.

How Do Contingency Fees Work?

Contingency fees, synonymous with "no win, no fee" agreements, mean you only pay your lawyer if they secure a victory in your legal case. The attorney's compensation is contingent on the damages awarded to you in court, usually a percentage. This arrangement eliminates financial risks for you, allowing focus on recovery, particularly when accident-induced work absence adds to concerns.
