California Car Accidents: What to Look for When Choosing a Lawyer

If you’re involved in a car accident in California, you could be stuck with mounting medical bills, forced to take days off work, and dealing with an insurance company more interested in denying your claim than giving you what your claim is worth.

California Car Accidents: What to Look for When Choosing a Lawyer

Personal injury attorneys can help California car accident victims receive the compensation they deserve. With all of the lawyers out there, how do you know which one you should choose? Here are a few suggestions on what you should look for when choosing a lawyer.

A History of Successfully Representing Car Accident Victims

Look for a Los Angeles lawyer who has a history of successfully representing car accident victims. While the amount of money they win for their clients can vary, a history of winning is critical. The right attorney will understand not only how to prove your claim, but how to zealously advocate for you when dealing with the insurance company and/or the defendant.

‍

They Clearly Explain How They Get Paid

Many California car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you don’t pay anything up front, you only pay if they successfully settle or litigate your claim. Learn more about how a contingency fee arrangement works here. You will want to find out if you’ll be charged for things such as copies and phone calls if they don’t successfully handle your claim.

‍

They Make You Feel Comfortable

A compassionate lawyer probably will not use complicated legal terms without explaining them. The lawyer shouldn’t make you feel like they’re talking down to you. Having good communication and feeling comfortable with your lawyer is essential. The more comfortable you feel talking with your lawyer about the entire claim, the easier the process will be.

If you’ve been hurt in a California car accident, do your research and contact a lawyer to help you protect your legal rights. The attorneys at Ghozland Law Firm offer a free, no obligation consultation for accident victims. Contact us today.

How Does the Auto Accident Settlement Formula Work?

Your economic damages are the easily calculable costs associated with the crash, such as medical bills, property damage, and lost wages. Your non-economic damages are more subjective and include pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Smart Steps To Protect Your Legal Rights After An Accident

If you’ve been involved in an accident in Los Angeles, whether it is a slip and fall, auto accident, or workplace accident, and the accident was not your fault, it is important for you to know that you have legal rights — and you want to do everything in your power to protect those rights.…

Are Release Of Liability Waivers Enforceable In Los Angeles?

When participating in activities or events that involve any sort of risk, it is common practice for organizers to require participants to sign a release of liability waiver. This document acknowledges the potential risks involved and releases the organizers from any responsibility in case of an accident or injury.

Broken Bone Injuries

No matter what kind of car accident you endure, there is always the potential for a broken bone. Not only are they very painful, but they can require months of treatment and therapy, during which time you may be unable to work.

Catastrophic Injuries

Life can change in the blink of an eye. One moment, you may be completely fine, the next you may be facing serious injuries, paralysis and in unfortunate circumstances, including death. Catastrophic injuries occur from major accidents and often result in permanent disabilities.

We Stand Up To Greedy Insurance Companies

Get more compensation from your slip and fall injury with expert legal representation

With over 40 years of experience, we have handled many slip and fall cases. I can provide you with the caliber of legal services that is normally available only to large companies, due to my experience in large-scale litigation that has resulted in awards of millions of dollars on many occasions. In 2014, Michael Ghozland was named “Street Fighter of the Year” by Consumer Attorneys of California in 2014. Because of my outstanding trial record, winning your case will probably mean obtaining a private settlement, with no need to ever step into a courtroom. Insurance companies know my reputation, and most of them would rather settle than face me in a slip and fall lawsuit.

“We have made it our mission to provide our clients with the type of legal representation typically delivered to large corporate and institutional clients. Mr. Ghozland recognizes that you deserve the best employment & personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles.”
