Personal injury cases provide legal remedies for those who experience harm because of others’ wrongful and/or negligent actions. In these cases, California’s legal liability/fault laws and legal precedents largely determine who the court holds responsible, and the damages awarded to the plaintiff. The statutes and criteria that govern these cases are often complex. Exceptions to the rules, special circumstances, and other remedies can complicate seemingly straightforward laws.
On their own, plaintiffs may accept unfair insurance settlements and struggle with unexpected injury costs in the future. A personal injury claim can, and should, fully compensate an injury victim for both financial and non-financial losses. Unfortunately, many insurance adjusters try to settle claims for the lowest amount possible. In other cases, plaintiffs face defendants who deny responsibility. Until a formal lawsuit forces the responsible party to accept legal liability, an injured individual may struggle to pay for out-of-pocket treatment expenses.
While every case is different, the lawyer you choose to represent you matters. If you have suffered a preventable injury, think about your current and future losses. An initial settlement offer may not provide the compensation you deserve.
