Why Do I Need an Orange County Personal Injury Attorney?

A personal injury case can be a complicated process to navigate for someone trying to get the most out of their personal injury claim without the helping hand of a legal professional. Depending on the type of accident and the parties involved, it is important to know what you’re up against when you decide to negotiate your own personal injury settlement. For minor accidents and the resulting injuries where the at-fault party responsible is clear-cut, it may not be worth the cost of legal fees to hire a lawyer to settle a small claim.

However, if you or a loved one were badly injured in a serious car accident, for example, and suffered physical injuries requiring long-term medical treatment and recovery that would affect your ability to go back to work or pay for your vehicle repair among other significant losses, you might find it beneficial to let a qualified legal team take the lead on filing your personal injury claim to maximize your compensatory damages.

You’ll also find that you need an experienced Orange County personal injury attorney to prove fault for your injuries against the defendant, especially if the severity of the accident and injuries are greater and if it’s not a certainty that the defendant was solely at fault for the accident. Proving fault requires paying close attention to details surrounding the accident. It is a skill that experienced legal professionals have honed to be the best at what they do.

If the reasons above are not enough to worry about for injury victims to handle their own insurance claims, consider the thought of having to negotiate with an insurance company whose only goal in their part is to pay out as little as possible. They’ll likely present to the victim a quick and low settlement offer to resolve the issue. One that, if the insurance company does not budge on and you accept, means you may be leaving money on the table that you otherwise deserved.

How Much is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?

In most personal injury cases, damages are typically compensatory, which means the injured accident victim is compensated for their losses due to the accident and their injuries. Most compensatory damages are easily quantifiable in a settlement. Typical damages include current and future cost of medical treatment, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment and consortium.

In some cases, a plaintiff may be awarded punitive damages at the court’s discretion along with their compensatory damages as a means to punish the defendant for an outrageously negligent act or wrongdoing deemed especially harmful.

In other cases where an injury victim’s role in an accident or following an accident may affect the amount of damages they might otherwise receive for their personal injury claim, one such instance is a common legal defense called comparative negligence, which California law follows, that attempts to reduce the amount of damages a plaintiff can recover in a negligence claim based on a degree of fault on the part of the plaintiff’s own negligence in the accident.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to the negligence of others is one of the worst tragedies someone can experience. All too often fatal automotive accidents tear California families apart because of the actions of negligent drivers.

There is no amount of money that can make up for the loss of a loved one; however, receiving compensation for their death can help protect you and your family from additional stress and suffering.
