Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer in Los Angeles

Mendez and Sanchez - Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer in Los Angeles

Have You Been in a Motor Vehicle Accident?

Victims of auto accidents, motorcycle accidents and truck accidents are the most common type of personal injury claim. These claims are generally based on the theory of negligence. In most California automobile accidents, the injured party, the plaintiff, must establish the negligence of the accused in order to seek damages. Furthermore, the plaintiff needs to prove that the defendant's negligence was the true and proximate source of both the accident as well as the plaintiff's injuries. Contact one of our Los Angeles motor vehicle accident lawyers to help direct you through this process.

You May Be Entitled to Compensation

Violations of statutory law are typically cited to establish the negligent driver in automobile crashes. If, for example, a driver failed to stop at a stop sign causing an accident, that statutory infraction could be sufficient to establish fault in that accident. Determining fault in a car accident can be more complicated in some cases, however. If you are a car accident victim, it is vital to contact our knowledgeable personal injury lawyers. Our lawyers can help you establish who is at fault for the accident and seek damages where necessary. Los Angeles car accident lawyers at Mendez & Sanchez handle these problems on a regular basis, so if you've been hurt, please give them a call.

Accident Victim Frequently Asked Questions

How does the amount of medical bills arising from my car accident injuries impact the value of my claim?

The value of an accident victim's case is determined by a variety of variables, including the total cost of your medical expenses. Some injuries need continuous medical treatment, which will be factored into your overall damages.

How does the court measure damages in a car accident for a traumatic brain injury?

Extent of bodily injury is a vital factor of overall damages, both due to resulting medical bills as well as loss of income and quality of life. All of these affect the award amount when obtaining compensation.

Where dangerous road conditions trigger a motor vehicle accident, can the municipality be held liable?

If hazardous driving conditions are the source of an auto accident due to neglect by the party responsible to keep the roads safe, your attorney will collect all available proof in order to seek compensation for damages. This includes both property and personal injury damages caused by negligence. Even if you are partially at fault, you may seek compensation for the portion of damages caused by the other party, including a municipality.

What actions should I take at the scene of my auto accident?

Can an accident victim anticipate a fair settlement from the insurer if negotiated without an attorney?

An insurance company's objective is to find a reason to deny your claim, or settle a case dispute for the least amount of money possible. Prior to receiving compensation from an insurance company, a knowledgeable attorney with your wellbeing in mind will help you identify appropriate compensation for damages. Photos of the scene taken promptly after the accident has taken place are a vital component of evidence chronicling the damages and how they might have been sustained.

If I get involved in an auto accident, how do I know if there is a cause of action against the other party?

Property damage or bodily injury that may be an outcome of the actions of another party provide a potential cause for action for motor vehicle accident victims. Your attorney will require as much evidence as possible to establish responsibility for the damages you have sustained. Taking pictures of the scene and seeing a doctor as soon as possible will help start your healing process, as well as establish the cause of action and build the evidence needed for reimbursement.

What are the damages you can recoup in a car accident, traumatic brain injury case?

Past and future medical costs, past and future wage loss, pain and suffering, and loss of a normal life are some of the damages for which a victim might seek compensation. The state of health and financial position of the victim prior to the accident influences the amount of payment.

What damages can a family collect when the automobile accident victim is a loved one?

There are two causes of actions that can be sought on behalf of a deceased loved one: wrongful death and survival. The family can recuperate money under the wrongful death act for the loss of love, affection, and support. This includes loss of wages and other forms of financial security and assistance.

Your loved one's estate can pursue a survival cause of action, and recuperate damages the victim sustained between the time of injury and the time of their death.

Why do I need to speak to a lawyer immediately after suffering an injury?

Determining fault in an accident can be complicated, especially if fault lies with more than one party. A skilled attorney will help you chronicle all evidence of damages, including pictures of the accident and future medical bills, and assess loss of income and changes to quality of life. Discussing the claims with insurance providers is best done with the professional guidance of attorneys that have been beside you from day one.
