Do I Need a Lawyer After a Personal Injury Accident?

If your accident was caused by the carelessness of another person or business and resulted in a serious injury, it’s a good idea to have a skilled Antioch personal injury lawyer look over your case. When medical bills start to rise over the treatment of a broken bone or a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), insurance companies for at-fault parties start to get nervous. Insurers don’t want to be held liable for a big bill, even if it’s clear their policyholder caused the accident.

Insurance providers can try to pin the blame on you or claim your injuries aren’t all that serious, simply to get away with offering you very little for your recovery. Your lawyer fights back against these false claims and then presents the evidence and demands the most possible for your injuries and hardships.

What Our Clients Say

Common Personal Injury Accidents in Antioch

All of that commuting from Antioch to where jobs are translates into accidents, injuries and fatalities. There is a wide variety of them. Here are some of the more common ones:

  • Passenger Car Crashes: Car accidents are the leading cause of injuries and deaths in Antioch and the surrounding cities including San Francisco and Sacramento.
  • Big-Rig Accidents: A distracted or drowsy truck driver pulling 80,000 pounds can drastically change an accident victim’s life or kill him or her. Big-rigs have long stopping distances, big blind spots and they’re difficult to maneuver.
  • Motorcycle, Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents: Victims of these types of accidents have little or no protection at all from injuries. In an accident, their injuries are usually far more serious than those of a driver or passenger of a car.
  • Slip-and-Falls and Trip-and-Falls: These are very common accidents that often result in skull, and facial fractures, neck injuries and hip fractures. These accidents can also be fatal.
  • Dog Bite Injuries: California dog owners are generally held fully liable for a victim’s injury recovery costs. As long as you weren’t trespassing or provoking the dog at the time, you can seek compensation to help support yourself and your family as you recover.
  • Construction and Industrial Accidents: These might include falls from heights, being hit by falling objects, being injured by dangerously defective products or even occupational illnesses.
  • Medical Malpractice: Doctors, hospitals and nurses all have standards of care that they must adhere to, but there are times when the deviate from them. Medical malpractice might be the third leading cause of death in the United States.
  • Wrongful Death: When a careless and negligent act or failure to act causes the death of a person, his or her family can seek compensation for their damages pursuant to California’s wrongful death laws. Any settlement or award might be substantial.

Who Is Responsible for Personal Injuries?

Other drivers on busy roads like Lone Tree Way and the owners of stores and restaurants you visit all owe you a “duty of care.” They are legally required to avoid actions that could cause you harm. Motorists shouldn’t speed to the point they lose control and smash into you. Store owners and operators should remove puddles and boxes from aisles that could cause you to slip or trip and break a bone.

When a person’s or a corporation’s actions or inactions contribute to your or a family member’s accident and injury, you are empowered to file a personal injury claim. This claim seeks compensation from at-fault parties for your every medical bill and those expected for care needed in the future. The other hardships you endure while healing can also earn support.

Personal injury claims are also possible when a landlord neglects to repair hazards around an apartment complex and someone gets hurt. A dog owner who allows a dog to bite someone can also be held fully liable. Your Maison Law attorney fully investigates any accident that you’ve been in and collects all evidence available to make sure an unhelpful car insurance provider can’t deny you the support you need.

Compensation Available for Personal Injury Victims

To get every benefit available to you in a settlement check or a courtroom judgment, your lawyer must not leave any hardship out of your insurance claim. You’ll be asking for total compensation for your economic and non-economic damages. That includes things like your physical therapy costs and doctor bills easily totaled from invoices. It also includes things that are harder to put a price on like the pain you suffer at the accident scene and during a potentially long recovery.

Your lawyer will also document some hardships you may not have thought of that can help add to the final amount on a personal injury settlement check:

  • Past and future lost earnings.
  • Costs associated with a long-term or permanent physical disability.
  • The physical pain and emotional anguish you endure.
  • Loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Loss of consortium (intimacy with a spouse).
  • Damage or destruction of property.
  • The income and benefits victims lose while unable to go to work.
  • Travel costs while visiting doctors and surgeons. The expense of shuttle services.

Antioch’s Personal Injury Lawyer

Antioch is a community that prides itself on hard work and family life. Those qualities must sometimes be protected when property owners, careless drivers, or negligent employers put others at risk and end up getting them hurt.

If you or a loved one are seriously injured due to the carelessness of someone else, contact a Antioch Personal Injury Lawyer with the experience to demand what’s fair from national corporations, local employers, and anyone else who may be liable for your suffering.

If you decide we can help you earn more in support, you won’t  need to worry about how you’ll pay for legal representation. Maison Law doesn’t get paid unless we win your case for you. Then our attorney’s fee comes out of the settlement check you receive.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Families can file wrongful death claims and seek help with funeral costs and remaining hospital bills. They should also earn support for the future when they’ll be without the financial support the deceased would have continued to provide.

If an insurance provider denies your Antioch personal injury claim, you should call a representative and ask why this was the case. If the company can’t provide a solid answer—or you feel they weren’t acting in good faith—you can consult a personal injury lawyer for assistance. A trusted attorney should let you know all of your options to contest the insurer’s decision.

California offers personal injury victims up to two years to file a personal injury claim after an accident. You should take action quickly though, before evidence and witnesses become harder to track down.
