LOS ANGELES CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER
Car accidents are stressful, and you might not know what to do next. One of the most important things to do is seek legal representation if you have sustained injuries in an accident. An experienced personal injury law firm will ensure that you attend to your injuries with the right medical doctors and protect your legal rights. At the Oakwood Legal Group, our Los Angeles car accidents lawyers will do everything possible to secure a favorable settlement.
SHOULD I HIRE A LOS ANGELES CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEY?
Too many accident victims make the unfortunate mistake of not hiring an experienced car accident attorney. California’s personal injury laws are confusing, especially to those not familiar with the law. One missed detail or deadline may result in a judge dismissing your case. Furthermore, you only have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim in California. Many accident victims make the mistake of waiting until they recover from their injuries to file a claim. Injuries may worsen over time, and there might be unexpected hurdles when filing a claim.
Additionally, accident victims tend to put their faith in the insurance company, which is never a good idea. Dealing with insurance companies without representation may lead to a considerable reduction in your settlement figures. Insurance companies will try to have you make recorded statements, which may ruin your chances of receiving fair compensation. If you speak to a representative immediately after an accident, they may convince you to sign a settlement agreement for much less than you deserve. Once you sign a settlement, you cannot seek additional compensation if your injuries worsen over time.

TYPES OF CAR ACCIDENT CASES WE HANDLE IN LOS ANGELES
Car accidents happen every day, but some are more common than others. At the Oakwood Legal Group, our Los Angeles car accident lawyers handles:
- Head-on accidents: The most dangerous of all car accidents is a head-on collision. They occur when two cars are going in opposite directions crash. Furthermore, these accidents may cause severe injuries if both vehicles are traveling at high speeds.
- Rear-end collisions: These accidents occur when the vehicle behind you crashes into the back of your car. Contributing factors to a rear-end collision include distractions, tailgating, and panic stops.
- T-bone crashes: A T-bone crash occurs when the front of one car collides with the side of another. Usually, these accidents happen when a driver fails to stop at a stop sign or red light. They often result from a distracted or drunk driver.
- Sideswipe collisions: Sideswipe accidents occur when two vehicles go in the same direction and crash into each other. These collisions occur when one driver does not look when making a lane change. However, they may also result from a distracted or drunk driver swerving into the other lane.
In addition to motor vehicle accidents, our team of knowledgeable attorneys can also handle motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, rideshare, or truck accidents in Los Angeles.
Accident victims must remember that they must first prove that the other driver’s negligence caused the accident and their injuries. Proving negligence might be challenging to do on your own, but a Los Angeles personal injury attorney knows what evidence to look for that might prove negligence.
If you can prove this, you might be able to secure compensation for your accident-related expenses. The compensation you may receive will vary depending on the severity of your accident and injuries. After reviewing your case, your injury attorney might be able to secure compensation for the following losses:
- Medical treatment
- Future medical treatment
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Vehicle repair costs
- In-home modifications for your injuries
Remember, California follows pure comparative negligence, meaning you may collect compensation in proportion to how responsible you were for causing the crash. For example, say you receive a $100,000 settlement. However, you were 20% responsible for causing the crash. In that case, you may only receive up to $80,000 of your settlement.
