Do You Have a Car Accident Case?

Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyer Explains Details of a Lawsuit
Following any type of motor vehicle accident, everyone involved is understandably shaken and unsure of what to do. If you suffered injury and believe that the accident was caused by another party, your first call should be to an attorney who understands Los Angeles car accident law. Many accident victims believe they do not need an attorney or that they would not be able to recover for their losses. However, an attorney can review your case, advise you of your legal rights, and represent you throughout the entire legal process.

Can I Recover in my Case?
Whether or not you can recover depends on whether another party acted negligently to cause or contribute to your accident. There are many different negligent acts that can lead to car accidents, including:

·         Texting and driving or other acts of distracted driving
·         Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
·         Fatigued driving
·         Speeding, running red lights, or violating other traffic laws
·         Not properly yielding
·         Allowing road hazards or defective road conditions to exist
·         Selling vehicles with defective parts that malfunction

You may recover even if you were partially at fault
Many people hesitate to discuss their case with an attorney because they believe they may have been partially at fault for the accident. For example, perhaps the other driver violated a red light but, because you were looking at your phone, you did not notice and proceeded through your rightful green light in their path. The other party will often argue that you were also to blame though California luckily has a law to protect drivers like you. In such situations, you still have the legal right to recover. Even if you believe you may be partially at fault, you should always call a skilled accident and injury attorney for a case review.


An experienced Los Angeles car accident attorney will be able to evaluate your case and advise you of your rights to recover for your losses in your specific situation. Every situation is different, so it is imperative that you consult with an attorney who will advocate for your victim's rights.
