Do I Need a Lawyer After an Oildale Personal Injury Accident?
If an accident only results in very minor injuries or just property damage, you may not need the help of a personal injury lawyer. But if you suffered a serious injury due to someone’s negligence, you should speak to a lawyer.
If you are in a fender bender on Chester Avenue that only involves car damage, or a few minor bumps and bruises, you probably won’t need the help of a lawyer to get fair treatment. You can handle an insurance claim on your own and secure money to get your vehicle repaired or replaced.
But when your injuries are serious, like a broken arm or a puncture wound, car insurance companies and commercial liability insurance providers begin to get nervous. They know the costs of recovery will be high and they start looking for ways to avoid accepting responsibility for what happened. Insurance companies want to save money.
They can try to shift the blame for the accident to you. They could also downplay the seriousness of your accident to get away with offering you less than you need to cover your medical care. You may need a skilled lawyer to defend you from baseless accusations and to negotiate to secure the most possible in a settlement check.
There are a few other reasons you could need the help of a skilled Oildale personal injury lawyer.
Discuss your case with a lawyer if the accident…
- Was completely or partially caused by another person
- You are being blamed for an accident you didn’t cause
- Requires a hospital stay
- Requires follow-up visits
- Forces you to miss time from work
- Forces you to miss out on things you enjoy in life
- Otherwise impacts your life financially or causes a significant inconvenience
Who Can I Sue if I’m Hurt in an Oildale Personal Injury Accident?
California persona injury law holds other drivers, property owners, and business operators to a “duty of care.” Other motorists must act to keep you safe when you are driving on a busy street like Chester Avenue or on Highway 99.
Store owners must mop up spills so you can’t come along unaware and fall and fracture your hip. Dog owners must keep their pets secure so they can’t bite you or your child.
When this duty of care is ignored and you get hurt, you may file a personal injury claim against another driver or a business owner. You are seeking settlement money to help cover your medical care and other damages. If an insurer isn’t willing to provide what’s fair in a settlement, you also have the right to file a lawsuit and take the at-fault party and the insurance company to court.
Your Oildale personal injury lawyer fully investigates your case and makes sure you have the evidence necessary to demand full compensation from an insurance company. Your lawyer also has your case prepared for court if an insurance company rejects your claim and forces you to file a lawsuit.
Types of Car Accident Cases Maison Law Helps Clients Win
Traffic accidents are the most common personal injury claims filed. That’s especially true in California, where motorists can be especially reckless. A driver looking at a cell phone on Olive Drive may not see you up ahead stopped at a red light and rear-end your SUV. A massive produce truck on Highway 99 could be veering back and forth and end up sideswiping your family vehicle.
After these frightening collisions, Maison Law helps injured victims secure the support they need to pay for the best medical care available after a car accident.
These are just some of the different types of traffic collision cases we help our clients secure full compensation for:
- Car Crashes: Speak to an Oildale car accident lawyer to find out what your injury is worth and how to hold the other driver’s auto insurance provider completely responsible. We can also show victims how to secure support if they’ve been hit by an uninsured driver.
- Truck Crashes: Big rigs and loaded-down delivery vans on the road for places like Amazon can put you at risk of a devastating collision. Talk to a Maison Law Truck Accident Lawyer about how you can hold a truck driver and the driver’s employer liable for your damages.
- Motorcycle Crashes: A motorcycle accident can leave a vulnerable rider with traumatic injuries. Our Oildale motorcycle accident lawyers fight to protect motorcyclists as they heal. We make sure they can afford the care they need to quickly return to the motorcycle rides they love.
- Bicycle Accidents: Cyclists can be struck when sharing the lanes with careless drivers. They can even be hit and suffer a devastating injury while in a bike lane. Our bicycle accident lawyers make sure riders have the support they need to recover physically and financially.
- Pedestrian Accidents: Those on foot in Oildale can be walking in parking lots or in crosswalks when an inattentive driver strikes them. Pedestrians travel with zero protection in a car crash. Maison Law’s Pedestrian Accident Lawyers work to earn victims the compensation they need to get on their feet again.

Compensation Available for Personal Injury Victims
Your lawyer makes a comprehensive list of every hardship you and your family have suffered in the aftermath of an accident. Every damage must be noted in an accident claim because any damage left off is a cost that would have to come from your own savings.
Your lawyer will be listing every loss you’ve endured since the accident and some factors you may not have known could boost the size of your settlement check:
- Totals on your medical care and care needed in the future
- Estimates on long-term care if you suffer a permanent physical disability
- Costs of alternate transportation to doctor’s appointments
- Support for the physical pain you endure
- Support for the emotional trauma you suffer
- Support for your loss of enjoyment of life
- Reimbursement for past and future lost income while you must miss work
- Reimbursement for property damage
