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. In fact, they may not want to give you enough money to…

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.

Am I Liable if My Teen Driver Gets in an Accident?

In short, the answer is generally yes. Under California law, an adult is held liable if their teen driver is involved in a car accident. Since California is a fault state, the responsibilities of an accident fall to the individuals involved. Having a teen driver that is involved in an automobile collision can be a…

How Can I File A Lime Scooter Accident Lawsuit?

If you have been involved in an accident while riding a Lime scooter in the city of Los Angeles, you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit. Lime scooters are becoming increasingly popular modes of transportation in urban areas, but they also pose a high risk of accidents and injuries due to their fast speeds and lack of safety features.

Hotels, Rental Properties, and Premises Liability

Planning a Los Angeles staycation this summer? You aren’t alone. Whether it will be locals acting as tourists or actual out of town-ers, Los Angeles, is the most-visited county in California, with over 50 million people visiting each year. From the beaches of Malibu to the La Brea tar pits and the stars along Hollywood,…

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.”
