Auto Accidents in California
The impact of your crash has left you with life-altering injuries. It is, unfortunately, all too common for car accident victims in California to experience long-lasting effects such as traumatic brain injuries, internal organ injuries, and severe compound fractures.
Following your accident, there are legal avenues available to help you move forward. Seeking the services of a Los Angeles pedestrian accident lawyer can assist you in filing a personal injury claim for compensation.
After your accident, you have the opportunity to seek financial compensation from the responsible party to cover various damages, including lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more. To ensure the best chance of achieving justice, it is essential to establish that the defendant was at fault for your accident. This involves proving the elements of negligence at the time of the crash.
The elements of negligence include demonstrating the existence of a duty of care, a breach of that duty, the breach of the duty that caused the accident, and the damages suffered as a direct consequence of the accident. Successfully establishing these elements will support your claim for the financial resources you need and deserve.
Even if you bear some degree of responsibility for the accident, you are still entitled to seek compensation for the damages you have incurred. However, the awarded amount will be reduced proportionally to the extent of your fault in the crash. Therefore, seeking legal guidance as soon as possible is critically important in order to optimize your chances of obtaining the justice you seek.
