Basics of Personal Injury Law
Negligence is a central concept in most personal injury cases. It refers to the failure of a person or entity to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to someone else. To recover damages, you need to prove these key elements of negligence:
- Duty of care. The defendant must owe you a duty of care. For example, drivers have a duty to follow traffic rules and drive safely.
- Breach of duty. The defendant must have breached their duty of care. This breach can be an action like running a red light or failing to act, like not keeping their property safe.
- Causation. The breach of duty must be the direct cause of your injuries. If the defendant’s actions did not cause harm, there is no negligence.
- Damages. You must suffer actual harm, including physical, emotional, or financial, as a result of the defendant’s negligence.
Proving negligence is difficult. It’s best to work with a reputable attorney to get the compensation you deserve.

Free Consultation
During your free consultation, we’ll listen attentively to your story, assess the details of your case, and provide you with a clear understanding of your legal options.
This initial meeting allows us to gather essential information and determine the best course of action for pursuing your claim. If you disagree with our assessment, you have no obligation to continue working with us.
Evidence Collection
Our Los Angeles personal injury lawyers understand the importance of gathering evidence to support your case.
We work diligently to collect and preserve crucial evidence, such as accident reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions. This thorough approach strengthens your claim and increases the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Legal Process
We will prepare all legal paperwork before suing the other party. This can include drafting demand letters, filing a complaint in court, and reporting negligent behavior to the proper authorities. We ensure all documents conform to legal standards and advocate for your best interests.
Settlement Negotiation
Settlements are private agreements that provide compensation without the need to go to court. We leverage our negotiation skills and legal knowledge to negotiate with insurance adjusters and defense attorneys.
We strive to reach a settlement that adequately compensates you for all current and future damages. And as a reminder, you always have the final say before accepting a settlement offer.
Representation in Court
Negotiation doesn’t always lead to an agreeable settlement. Our personal injury lawyers in Los Angeles are always ready to take your case to court if it’s the best option.
We are skilled litigators who will zealously represent your interests in front of a judge and jury. We meticulously prepare your case for trial, present compelling arguments, and advocate tirelessly for the justice and compensation you deserve.
Damages Available
Your personal injury claim can seek a range of damages. Some of the common types of damages available can include:
- Medical expenses. You can seek compensation for all past and future medical expenses related to your injury. This can include hospital bills, doctor’s visits, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
- Lost wages. If your injury prevents you from working, you may recover compensation for the income you’ve lost during your recovery period. This includes wages, salary, bonuses, and other benefits you would have earned without the injury.
- Pain and suffering. You can seek noneconomic damages such as physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish. These damages aim to compensate you for the physical and emotional hardships you’ve endured due to the injury.
- Property damage. An accident may damage property, such as your car or home. You can seek compensation for repairing or replacing this damaged property.
- Punitive damages. In cases of extreme negligence or intentional wrongdoing, you can seek punitive damages. These damages are rare and seek to punish the at-fault party for their misconduct.
Understanding the full value of your claim can be difficult. Our attorneys excel in recognizing and calculating damages to get you the best result possible.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?
The time limit within which you can file a claim is known as the statute of limitations. For injury cases in Los Angeles, you generally have two years to file your claim.
If the incident caused property damage, you may have up to three years to seek damages. It’s best to work with an attorney as soon as possible because missing these deadlines can prevent you from getting any compensation.
