Personal Injury Lawyers in East Los Angeles

Mendez & Sanchez - Personal Injury Lawyers in East Los Angeles, California

If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you have the right to demand financial compensation for the losses you've suffered. However, pursuing a personal injury claim is no easy task. Defendants and their insurers are backed by armies of lawyers ready to defend their clients. Who's looking out for you?

At Mendez & Sanchez, we fight for personal injury victims. Where possible, we resolve cases out of court so our clients can return to their lives. If needed, however, we put together a litigation strategy and take the case to court. Either way, we stand by our clients from beginning to end so they can concentrate on recovering.

What Is Personal Injury?

The essence of a personal injury claim is negligence. When another individual, business, or even a governmental agency acts irresponsibly, others can get hurt. The injury is typically physical, but it can also be psychological or emotional too.

"Negligence" is a legal term that implies failure to exercise an appropriate degree of care under the circumstances. Another way of putting it is failure to act as a reasonably prudent individual would. Negligence can be demonstrated through someone's actions (like speeding or driving intoxicated) or through an exclusion (such as failing to eliminate a known hazard from one's business property).

To win a personal injury case, the victim must prove that the offender was negligent. There are four particular elements that are required under California law:

Possible Damages In A Personal Injury Lawsuit

The objective of a personal injury claim is to make the plaintiff whole via financial compensation. This compensation is known as damages, and some examples are:

Are There Time Limits To File A Personal Injury Claim?

Your right to take legal action against a negligent party will not last forever. In California, personal injury cases are subject to what's called a statute of limitations. This establishes a deadline for plaintiffs to submit their lawsuits before they lose the right to do so. For a personal injury, the statute of limitations is two years. In most cases, the clock starts to run when the injury takes place.

However, it's ideal not to delay taking action on your case. Witnesses' memories can fade over time, evidence will be more difficult to obtain, and you might fail to remember critical information if you wait too long. If you or a loved one have been injured, reach out to a dedicated East Los Angeles personal injury lawyer.

How Can the Personal Injury Lawyers of Mendez & Sanchez Help Me?

Suing a defendant almost always means suing an insurance company, like an automobile insurer. Regardless, you can count on the defendant's legal representatives pushing back on your claims or making settlement offers that come nowhere near to covering your losses. You need a lawyer that not only understands California personal injury legislation, but knows how to establish a fair value for your case.

At Mendez & Sanchez, we've helped countless personal injury clients get the compensation they need to recover. We won't accept unjust offers and will defend you from beginning to end. Give us a call or complete the contact form today to get started on your claim.
