Personal injury

What is a Personal Injury lawyer?

A personal injury lawyer specializes in handling accident cases and helps in seeking damages from the liable parties for the injuries and losses suffered by the victim. They represent the victims of accident cases and file a personal injury lawsuit against the at fault parties, on their behalf and help receive the best compensation possible.

What is considered as a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Accidents happen all the time, but not necessarily these accidents are accidental. For example, the driver of a truck who hit your car had obviously not left his home planning to hit a car or cause an accident. Yet the accident happened. The truck driver may have been driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

That is not acceptable and legally considered to be gross negligence. The driver knew that consuming alcohol or taking drugs before driving is illegal and dangerous; he could end up putting several lives at risk. Still he decided to drink and drive and ended up causing an accident.

At the same time if the truck driver was sober while driving and he just got distracted for a few seconds reading an advertisement on the road and ended up causing an accident. In this case the driver is guilty of only ordinary negligence.

The keyword is negligence; the driver was negligent in both the situations. Their actions whether gross or ordinary negligence violated the law and directly caused you injuries. The California law allows an individual to file a personal injury lawsuit seeking damages from the accident in which they have suffered any kind of injuries. Under such circumstances a personal injury attorney will file a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of the victim.

What types of cases can be covered under a personal injury lawsuit?

  • Bicycle accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Uber/Lyft accidents
  • Dog bites
  • Construction accidents
  • Medical Malpractices
  • Slip & fall accidents
  • Pedestrian injuries
  • Catastrophic injuries
  • Birth related injuries
  • Burn Injuries
  • Wrongful death and many more

What kind of Damages and Losses can a Personal Injury Attorney help recover?

A personal injury attorney will help you fight your case and receive the damages for your injuries and losses. The damages include, but are not limited to:
  • Past, Present & Future Lost Wages
  • Past, Present & Future Medical Bills
  • Damages for Pain & Suffering both emotional and physical
  • Punitive Damages for Intentional or Reckless Misconduct
  • Loss of consortium and companionship
  • Wrongful death and funeral expenses

You should not suffer financial losses because of somebody else’s mistake. If someone’s actions have caused you injuries which restrict you from resuming your work or the injuries have resulted in mounting hospital bills, you are entitled to seek damages. If you are suffering from emotional trauma and unable to lead a normal life after the accident, you are entitled to receive compensation. Your personal injury attorney will help you seek these damages.

FAQs

What questions should you ask a personal injury lawyer?

Your lawyer will be representing you and will have the powers to negotiate and close the deal on your behalf. The lawyer you hire should be someone with whom you are comfortable, someone whom you trust as you will have to work very closely with them. Therefore before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it is important that you ask them these questions:

Before hiring a lawyer or law firm, it is important to find out how much does a personal injury attorney charge? Most of the personal injury attorneys are known to work on a contingency fee basis. It means that you don’t have to pay any charges or fees unless you are able to recover the damages in the lawsuit. Law firms or lawyers take about 25% to 40% of the compensation amount as their fees. Therefore it is important to discuss their fees and the percentage they expect from the final settlement.
A few personal injury lawyers are known to charge for any case-related costs in advance. It is important to discuss with the lawyer about the case related costs and who will bear them in case the lawsuit is lost.
An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you understand how long it would take to receive compensation after filing a lawsuit. A number of factors determine the time taken for a case to be resolved and compensation awarded. With their experience the lawyers can roughly let you know the time period they expect for the case to be resolved. You have to ensure that the lawyers are committed to your case and are working at resolving it at the earliest.
Experienced personal injury lawyers like Khashan Law who have handled numerous cases over the years, can give you a good idea of how much you can expect from your claim. If not the approximate amount, the personal injury lawyers should be able to provide a range and explain which factors can impact the settlement offer or final verdict. It is important that you do your research in evaluating the lawyer’s claims. Be cautious of personal injury lawyers who promise you compensations which are unrealistic.
It is important to know who at the law firm will be handling your case. Many personal injury law firms are known to make their senior partners meet the potential clients before signing them up. Once signed up, the clients would no longer be handled by the senior partners; they are passed on to the junior lawyers or associates. Therefore ask them who will be your contact person, whom you can speak to when you have questions related to your case.
