What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim is a legal remedy for those injured because of another party’s negligence, carelessness, recklessness, or intentional acts. California personal injury law recognizes many types of injuries—such as physical injuries, mental, and emotional injuries—as well as economic damages.
A physical injury in a personal injury claim can be broken bones, burns, head trauma, brain injuries, spinal injuries, internal bleeding, organ damage, and more. Mental and emotional injuries may be PTSD, anxiety, depression, and general mental distress. Potential economic damages include lost earnings, lost earning ability, medical costs, and property damage.
The Los Angeles personal injury attorneys at Crown & Stone Law, P.C., specialize in personal injury law. Our attorneys can handle any case where another person’s negligence or intentional action leads to injuries and related damages. The most common personal injury claims in Los Angeles are motor vehicle accidents and truck accidents.
Los Angeles Personal Injury Statistics
In a city as large as Los Angeles, serious personal injuries are common. Approximately 25,000 personal injury claims are filed in the superior court in Los Angeles County annually.
Additionally, approximately 80,000 people in Los Angeles County suffered injuries from auto accidents since 2017. Approximately 8% of these motor vehicle injuries involved pedestrians, and 6% involved bikers. More personal injury claim statistics for Los Angeles include:
- Slips and falls: There were 14,000 slips and falls reported in Los Angeles in 2019 and 6,500 related injuries.
- Pedestrian accidents: There were 6,900 pedestrian accidents in 2019 in Los Angeles. Almost 250 of them were fatal, with the most common causes being distracted driving, drunk driving, and failure to yield.
- Premises liability: In 2019, 3,400 premises liability claims were filed in the city. Wet floors, lack of lighting, broken stairs, and defective elevators were common causes of injury. Also, the Insurance Information Institute reports that one in 1,670 homeowners in the state has a liability claim for property damage or bodily injury. In these cases, the property owners caused harm to other parties who filed a premises liability claim.
- Motorcycle accidents: About 5,000 motorcycle accidents occurred in Los Angeles in 2019. Most involved severe, disabling injuries. One hundred accidents were fatal, highlighting the need for better motorcycle safety in the city.
- Truck accidents: More than 3,400 truck accidents and dozens of deaths occurred in Los Angeles County in 2019.
- Boating accidents: Boating in the Los Angeles area can be dangerous if not done carefully. In 2020, there were 493 boating accidents in the state and 39 deaths. Many boating accidents involved one vessel but there were also collisions with other vessels. If your boat is struck by another vessel, you can file a personal injury claim for your losses.
- Construction accidents: Los Angeles has a thriving construction industry but there are severe risks for many workers. Construction accidents, including falls from heights and machinery accidents, can cause severe injury or death. There were 92 deadly work-related cases in the construction industry in California in 2020.
- Dog bites: Over 2,300 dog bites and animal attacks were reported in 2019, about 1,300 of which caused injuries. Dog bites were the most common of all animal attacks in the city, and were more than 80% of the reported incidents.
- Bicycle accidents: there were 2,200 reported bike accidents in Los Angeles in 2019. Of these, approximately 1,900 involved injuries and 20 were deadly. The top cause of bicycle accidents that year was distracted driving, failure to yield, and speeding. Also, poorly designed roads and inadequate bike infrastructure can lead to bicycle accidents.
- Workplace injuries: There were 463 deadly injuries in the workplace in California in 2020. Most of these accidents happened in construction and resource management, while transportation wasn’t far behind. In cases where the worker dies, the surviving family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit if the employer didn’t provide a safe working environment or violated safety regulations.
Thousands of people are hurt in Los Angeles accidents annually but far too few file a lawsuit to receive compensation. You shouldn’t have to pay for your medical bills and other expenses when another party’s negligence injures you. A Los Angeles personal injury attorney can help you receive critical compensation for your recovery.
Los Angeles Personal Injury Cases We Handle
A city the size of Los Angeles can experience any type of accident. Crown & Stone Law, P.C., is here to help if you have been injured in any of the following accidents:
Car Accidents
Los Angeles has some of the worst traffic in the US. There are more than two million registered vehicles in Los Angeles County so auto accidents occur daily. Common reasons for car wrecks in the city are drunk driving, speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield. You should always call law enforcement after a car accident. Don’t leave the accident scene until instructed by the police.
If another party hits and injures you in a car accident, you should get immediate medical attention and retain a car accident attorney in Los Angeles to negotiate with the insurance company. If possible, take photos and videos of the accident scene to give to your car accident attorney.
Remember that California law requires drivers to carry $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person and $30,000 per accident. You should retain an experienced auto accident attorney to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Auto insurance companies may offer a fast settlement before you hire a lawyer, but it likely won’t cover all your losses.
Our experienced car accident lawyers can handle your claim and fight for the best possible outcome. Our attorneys are experienced in rear-end crashes, hit-and-runs, T-bone crashes, head-on accidents, vehicle rollovers, and left-turn accidents. Our legal team will carefully review the evidence to determine who was at fault. Then, we will determine your damages and send the liable insurance company a demand letter. This initiates settlement discussions, with the goal of getting the largest settlement possible.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks travel all of the major highways in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Many of these rigs weigh as much as 80,000 pounds and can be 10 feet high and 30 feet long. When a truck slams into a passenger vehicle, occupants may suffer devastating injuries.
Even if the truck driver was clearly at fault, the trucking company’s insurance adjusters will attempt to minimize your claim. You should never try to negotiate with an insurance company after a tractor-trailer accident. Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Truck driver distraction: Truckers drive long hours and may become bored or distracted while driving. Many truck accidents happen because truckers check their cell phones or GPS. During the accident investigation, your attorney can check if the driver was on their cell phone by subpoenaing their phone records.
- Truck driver fatigue: Truckers must take breaks at certain times during their shifts. However, drivers are often paid by the mile and they have a financial incentive to drive when exhausted. Los Angeles traffic can be difficult even for a well-rested truck driver, so drowsiness can lead to devastating consequences.
- Reckless driving: Whether speeding or making sudden lane changes, reckless driving in a tractor-trailer can have severe or fatal consequences for other motorists.
- Truck maintenance issues: Truckers and their employers are required to inspect and maintain commercial trucks regularly. Neglected maintenance can injure and kill others. Common issues are brake failures, transmission and engine problems, trailer hitch issues, and bald tires.
A Los Angeles truck accident attorney knows how to fight for the most money in negotiations with trucking companies and their attorneys. Most trucking companies don’t want to go to court because they know the jury will likely sympathize with the injured victim. Let our truck accident attorneys negotiate the most for your truck accident settlement. The trucking company may be vicariously liable for your injuries, meaning the driver was working at the time, so their employer is responsible for their negligence.
Motorcycle Crashes
Los Angeles has some of the best year-round weather in the United States so it’s unsurprising that many people enjoy riding motorcycles here. Sadly, motorcycle accidents happen frequently in Los Angeles and the injuries can be devastating or even fatal. Many motorcycle accidents occur because a car driver doesn’t see the motorcyclist. For example, a left-turn accident may happen when the car driver doesn’t yield to a motorcyclist at an intersection.
Dealing with a severe motorcycle accident injury will push you to the limit—mentally and physically. You don’t want to deal with a difficult insurance company that wants to pay you as little as possible. Our motorcycle accident attorneys will accurately value your claim and fight for the best settlement. Our lawyers will represent you in court and present the best case to the jury if necessary. Some jurors may view motorcyclists as risk takers but we’ll show how the other party was at fault and injured you.
Pedestrian Accidents
With millions of vehicles in Los Angeles County, pedestrians are always at a high risk of injury. If a car hits you, you may be unable to work and enjoy life, all while facing massive medical bills. It’s critical to have a pedestrian accident attorney represent you to fight for the compensation you need for your medical care and other losses.
Los Angeles drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Even if you weren’t in a crosswalk when the accident happened, you still could receive compensation.
If you cannot afford medical care after the accident, our personal injury attorneys can assist in finding doctors who will treat you on a medical lien. This means you are only charged for medical care once your case is resolved with a settlement or favorable jury verdict.
Slip & Falls
A slip and fall injury in Southern California can cause severe injuries, including head trauma, back and spine injuries, broken bones, and even permanent disability. The CDC reports approximately 9 million slip-and-falls in the US annually.
Our slip and fall attorneys can help if you were injured on a commercial property or in someone’s home. Common causes of slip and falls are tripping on uneven pavement or loose carpet, falling on a wet floor or icy sidewalk, or falling because of a pothole in a parking lot. Many slip and fall claims at personal residences are handled by the owner’s homeowner’s insurance. Our personal injury lawyers will negotiate with the homeowner’s insurance adjuster to obtain the most money for your injuries.
Medical Malpractice
California medical professionals must provide a high level of care. There can be severe consequences if they are negligent and injure a patient. The most common medical malpractice claims in Los Angeles are surgical errors, birth injuries, prescription drug errors, and misdiagnoses. Your medical malpractice claim can have more than one defendant, such as a doctor or a hospital. It’s important that your lawsuit name the correct party in the suit, and that is one of your attorney’s roles.
Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex and the liable insurance company will fight back. However, our personal injury lawyers are comfortable engaging in aggressive insurance negotiations and are ready to take your claim to court if necessary.
Premises Liability Accidents
Public and private property owners in Los Angeles have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for guests and visitors. If you were hurt because of a property owner’s negligence, our personal injury attorneys can help. For example, you might have been injured in a retail store because of a wet floor or were assaulted in a nightclub that had inadequate security.
Rideshare Accidents
Many people in Los Angeles rely on Uber and Lyft for a fast and affordable way to get where they need to go. However, rideshare drivers aren’t perfect, and serious accidents are common. Rideshare drivers are often in a hurry to pick up and drive their passengers so they will make more money.
If you were injured in a rideshare accident, you may deserve compensation. However, determining whose insurance policy will pay for your damages can be complicated. It depends on whether the rideshare driver was carrying a fare or actively searching for one when the crash happened.
Our Uber accident lawyers are experienced in determining fault in rideshare crashes and pinpointing which policy should cover damages. Uber and Lyft must carry $1 million in bodily injury coverage to compensate accident victims. A rideshare accident lawyer will review your case and determine which insurance policy should pay.
You could receive compensation in a rideshare accident claim whether you were a passenger in the Uber vehicle or you were a driver or passenger in another car that was hit.
Boat Accidents
Boat accidents are common in Los Angeles and may be caused by intoxication, operator error, mechanical failure, and other issues. Your Los Angeles boat accident attorney is adept in these types of claims and will hold the liable party responsible for your injuries.
Product Liability Accidents
California consumers are entitled to products they purchase or use that are safe and defect-free. If a defective or dangerous product harms you, our personal injury attorneys have the resources and experience to file a product liability claim. Common reasons for product liability claims are failure to warn, improper design, and improper manufacturing. Product liability claims often involve cars, car parts, toys, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals.
Construction Accidents
Construction is one of the country’s most dangerous professions. Many things can go wrong if companies and supervisors are negligent. There are many risks that construction workers face on the job, including slips and falls, exposure to toxic chemicals and substances, fires and explosions, heavy equipment accidents and malfunctions, and more. State and federal laws are in place to increase safety but some construction companies cut corners.
Among the most common causes of construction accidents are scaffolding mishaps. Companies are required to follow scaffolding safety rules and provide workers with proper training.
A construction accident lawyer at Crown & Stone Law, P.C., can help you receive the most compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys can also assist you with filing a workers’ compensation claim or a third-party lawsuit if another company’s negligence led to your injuries.
Dog Bites
Did a dog in Los Angeles bite you even though you did nothing to provoke it? If so, you could be entitled to compensation for your medical bills and other losses. Dog owners in California can be found negligent if their dog bites someone, whether or not the animal has been aggressive before.
California is also a strict liability state, meaning that proving negligence isn’t necessary for the dog owner to owe you damages for your injuries. Many dog bite claims are covered by homeowner’s insurance, which often offers between $100,000 to $300,000 in coverage. Your dog bite attorney can review your case and determine the best legal options.
Do You Need a Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney?
You aren’t required to hire a personal injury lawyer after an accident. However, doing so may be the best way to ensure that your rights are respected and that you’re paid what you deserve.
A Los Angeles, CA, lawyer will advocate for you during insurance settlement negotiations and a trial if needed. They also will ensure that you have everything you need for maximum recovery. Your Los Angeles personal injury lawyer will address many vital issues for you, including:
- Investigation and reconstruction of the accident: Our personal injury attorneys can retain accident reconstruction professionals to prove how the accident happened. This is a critical step in establishing liability to the insurance company.
- Collecting and preserving evidence: Your attorney will preserve evidence. For instance, the truck company’s investigators may take possession of crash evidence after a truck crash or even dispose of it. Your attorney will file legal motions to require the trucking company to preserve critical evidence, such as the damaged truck.
- Eyewitness interviews: Accident witnesses may be necessary to determine who was at fault in your Los Angeles accident.
- Submitting and organizing legal paperwork: Every personal injury claim or lawsuit involves significant paperwork and your attorney will ensure everything is in order.
- Evaluating damages: Seriously injured parties could have hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. An important task is to fully and accurately value your claim, including current and future medical costs, past and future lost wages, and more.
- Settling insurance claims: Most personal injury claims conclude with a settlement. Your Los Angeles attorney will attempt to negotiate a fair settlement. If unsuccessful, the case may proceed to mediation or a trial.
- Representing you at trial: A skilled Los Angeles personal injury attorney can effectively litigate in the courtroom.
In most personal injury cases, proving liability isn’t easy even if the other party clearly caused the accident. Insurance companies and juries have different standards of evidence than regular people. You should have an experienced personal injury attorney oversee your case to prove liability, accurately assess your damages, and demand the best settlement.
How a Los Angeles, CA, Personal Injury Attorney Proves Negligence
Receiving compensation in your personal injury claim means proving that another person or entity caused your accident injuries. Your Los Angeles, CA, personal injury attorney is experienced in showing negligence and convincing a jury based on the evidence. Your personal injury attorney will need to prove the following legal elements to secure compensation for you:
- The other party owed you a duty of care. For example, a truck driver owes you a duty of care to drive safely, obey the law, and not injure other motorists.
- The other party violated their duty of care: Perhaps the truck driver glanced at their phone during heavy traffic and slammed into your SUV at high speed.
- You were injured because of the violation of the duty of care. You broke several bones in your arms and legs and suffered a head injury.
- You suffered damages because of the injuries: Now, you have $50,000 in medical bills and three months of lost earnings, plus pain and suffering.
It might sound easy to prove negligence when another driver obviously caused the accident. However, you should always have skilled, experienced personal injury attorneys oversee your case to increase the odds of success. Proving negligence requires strong evidence and persuasion and our personal injury law firm has the skills to succeed.
What Compensation Is Available In a Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Our personal injury attorney will review your case and fight for compensation. Potential recovery areas may include:
- Medical expenses: Most severe personal injuries involve extensive medical bills. You could be eligible for compensation for current and past medical bills. If you have severe injuries that require months or years of treatment, you could receive money for future medical expenses.
- Drug costs: Your injuries may require you to take prescription medications. Our personal injury attorney will ensure you receive fair compensation for any needed medication.
- Lost earnings: Anyone with a severe injury may be unable to work for an extended period because of their injuries. You may also need time off to go to medical appointments and rehabilitation treatments. A personal injury settlement should include any wages you couldn’t earn because you couldn’t work or were busy with medical appointments.
- Loss of ability to earn a living: If your accident prevents you from returning to work, you have endured a loss of earning capacity. You should receive fair compensation for lost earning capacity related to the accident. You may also be entitled to payment for job retraining.
- Pain and suffering: It’s not surprising that personal injuries and treatments can be painful. For example, if you were severely burned in a truck crash, you could have terrible pain from burns and skin grafts. You are entitled to ample compensation for your physical pain and suffering.
- Mental anguish: Serious injuries may mean you’re not the same person physically you were before. You may also have cognitive and emotional distress related to the accident and treatments. Many personal injury victims have PTSD, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. You should be fairly compensated for your mental anguish in your personal injury lawsuit.
- Property damage: You could be entitled to compensation for any property that was damaged or lost in the accident, such as your car, cell phone, or computer.
- Wrongful death: Did you lose a loved one in an accident caused by someone’s negligence? You may be eligible to compensation for your mental anguish as a close family member for your loved one’s pain and suffering, loss of care and support, loss of consortium, burial and funeral expenses, and lost income.
You should always have a personal injury attorney review your claim to determine if they can help you get compensation. Being seriously injured in an accident through no fault of your own is a grave situation and you won’t receive total compensation in your personal injury claim without an attorney. You will probably receive a lowball offer from the insurance company, but personal injury lawyers will accurately value your damages and fight for the most money.
What Are Los Angeles Personal Injury Claims Worth?
The value of your personal injury claim depends on many factors and no two cases are identical. Our personal injury attorneys have successfully handled small and large personal injury claims and treat every case with the close attention it deserves. However, there is no “average” settlement that you can expect. The value of your claim will depend on several factors:
- The severity of your injuries: Did a truck accident leave you paralyzed and unable to work? Or did a slip-and-fall accident result in a broken wrist or ankle? The more severe the injuries, the higher the potential case value. An injury claim that requires hospital care and surgery will always be worth more than if you were treated and released from the ER.
- Your medical expenses: A paralysis injury could require hundreds of thousands of dollars in care over the years, while a broken bone will have fewer medical expenditures that conclude after a few months. Your case value rises for injuries requiring years of medical bills and rehabilitation.
- How much insurance is available: Some injury claims are only covered by limited insurance policies. For example, California drivers must carry $30,000 in bodily injury coverage. This may be insufficient to cover your damages, so your personal injury attorney will try to find every potential source of insurance money to compensate you.
- Who was at fault: Was another driver entirely at fault for your accident? Your case value will be higher than if you were partially liable for the crash.
- Whether the case settles or goes to trial: A personal injury settlement may lead to lower compensation than a favorable jury verdict. The idea behind a personal injury settlement is to obtain compensation faster than a court trial would take. You may receive more compensation from a jury but you could also receive nothing. Your personal injury law firm will advise whether taking a settlement or going to trial is in your best interest. However, the final decision is yours.
- Your attorney’s skill and patience: The size of your settlement also comes down to your attorney’s skills and expertise. Choosing a personal injury attorney with a strong track record in settlements and jury verdicts means you’re more likely to get fair compensation.
Your Los Angeles personal injury attorney will review your accident and injuries in a free case review. Then, they can provide an approximate case range.
What Should You Do After A Los Angeles Accident?
If you get in an accident in Los Angeles, there are several things you should do to ensure your health and protect your future legal options. For example, after a car accident on the interstate, you should do the following:
- Call 911 if anyone is injured and wait for first responders. You are required to obtain medical assistance for the injured after any traffic accident.
- Wait for the police to arrive so they can file a report. Leaving the accident scene before law enforcement arrives could lead the other driver to accuse you of fleeing the scene.
- Collect evidence if you can. If you aren’t too seriously injured, take photos and videos of the crash scene, damaged vehicles, and any injuries you suffered. The police will eventually move the affected vehicles so getting visual evidence before they do so can help your case.
- Speak to eyewitnesses. Talk to any eyewitnesses who saw the accident and write down their names and contact information. Your attorney will contact them later to get their statements. Witness testimony is often a critical factor when assigning blame for a car accident.
- Get immediate medical attention. You should go to the ER or your doctor to check for injuries. You may think you aren’t hurt but some accident injuries can take hours or even days to show. Delaying medical care may lead the liable insurance company to question your injuries. They may argue that you have a preexisting condition and your injuries weren’t caused by the car accident.
- Speak to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. A personal injury attorney should be retained if you believe that another person or entity caused the accident. An attorney can review your case for free and tell if you have a case. Many injury victims attempt to settle their case themselves only to have difficulties. Then, they call an attorney much later in the process and their legal options may be limited. It’s always best to bring a personal injury attorney into the case at the begiinning.
Medical Care In Los Angeles Personal Injury Claims
A common issue in Los Angeles personal injury claims is finding medical professionals willing to treat you while a legal claim is ongoing. Medical professionals need to be paid for their services and sometimes injury victims might run into problems obtaining quality care. This could be a problem if you have serious injuries that require ongoing treatments, such as head injuries or burns.
Fortunately, our Los Angeles personal injury lawyers work with a network of excellent doctors and other medical professionals who can provide quality medical care via a medical lien. You won’t owe them medical expenses unless your case results in a settlement or jury award. Our attorneys also will work closely with any doctor who provides care to you so there are no delays in your case. We document your injuries and treatments so you are fairly compensated.
What Is the California Statute of Limitations?
You have to file a California personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. This is known as the statute of limitations. However, if a government agency injures you, you only have six months to file a claim. Promptly speak to a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer to ensure your case is filed on time. If you wait too long to file your claim, you may be unable to receive compensation.
California Damage Caps
Another critical aspect of Los Angeles personal injury claims is that state laws limit the damages that plaintiffs may recover in some circumstances. A damage cap is enacted to protect certain community defendants, such as doctors and medical facilities, from going bankrupt.
For example, California’s Proposition 123 has set a limit for California auto accident victims. If you’re in a crash and don’t have auto insurance, you may not receive compensation for pain and suffering. The rule is valid even if you were not liable for the car accident.
Second, California has a cap on damages for medical malpractice claims. If a healthcare professional caused your injuries, you may only receive a maximum of $250,000 for noneconomic damages, such as pain and suffering.
Our Los Angeles, CA, personal injury attorneys know the law on damage caps in California and will consider them during insurance settlement negotiations.
How Long Does a Los Angeles Personal Injury Claim Take?
Some cases settle in a few weeks, but others can take six months to a year. Much depends on the complexity of the case, type and severity of injuries, amount of damages, etc. Insurance defense lawyers may want to drag out a case because they want to frustrate you into accepting a low settlement. However, your Los Angeles personal injury lawyer will work quickly to secure a fair settlement.
Obtaining a reasonable settlement may mean the case takes longer than you like. Getting a fast settlement often means settling for less than you deserve. In your personal injury case, we aim to obtain the most compensation possible.
Don’t Believe These Personal Injury Claim Myths
The internet is an excellent source of information, but many legal myths persist about personal injury claims:
- You can handle your own claim: You don’t have to hire a personal injury lawyer, but how skilled are you at insurance negotiations, court cases, and accurately valuing a severe injury claim? Most injury victims with an attorney receive more compensation than those without legal representation.
- A personal injury claim takes forever: Some cases take longer to settle than others. However, most cases are settled out of court within a few months of the injury. Note that getting the quickest possible settlement may not be in your best interest. Obtaining the most compensation for all of your damages may take time but it’s worth it.
- A personal injury attorney will cost too much: Personal injury attorneys are usually paid by contingency fee. This means that you don’t pay any legal fees out of pocket. Instead, the attorney is paid a percentage of your settlement or verdict award. Many attorneys receive between 33% and 40% of the total case compensation.
- You can’t file a claim if you were partially at fault: You can file a claim in California even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Your compensation may be reduced according to your percentage of responsibility.
- You should take the first settlement offer: Never take the initial offer. Insurance companies use various tactics to tempt an injury victim to take whatever is first offered. Almost every initial settlement offer is a test to see if you understand the value of your claim. When you hire an attorney, they’ll ensure you receive the best settlement and won’t let the insurance adjuster take advantage of you when you’re hurt.
- A minor injury won’t lead to a settlement: You don’t have to lose a limb or be paralyzed to obtain a personal injury settlement. Medical bills for even minor injuries, such as mild whiplash, can be thousands of dollars. If you suspect another party was at fault for your accident, speak to a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles. Your case could lead to a settlement even if you heal from the injury quickly.
- I can negotiate with the insurance adjuster myself: The adjuster works for their employer and represents their interests, not yours. The insurance adjuster will likely employ many tactics to get you to take less money. For example, they’ll ask you to record your statement and then attempt to twist your words to blame you for your injuries. A skilled personal injury attorney can negotiate on your behalf.
- A personal injury claim is only for auto accidents: While auto accidents are the most common type of claim, there are many others. They include product liability, workplace accidents, slip and fall claims, medical malpractice, and dog bites.
