Do I Need a Lawyer After an Accident in Riverside?
If your accident was caused by someone’s carelessness and you suffered serious injuries, you could greatly benefit by seeking a skilled attorney’s help. A Riverside personal injury lawyer can help you maximize the compensation you earn. It’s an important protection to have so that you and your family aren’t forced to pay for medical care out of pocket for an accident you weren’t at fault for.
Your attorney also protects you as insurance companies work to limit the support you receive. When you’re at your most vulnerable, insurance adjusters will try to blame you for the accident. They may also resort to downplaying your injury so they can get away with taking less responsibility for your recovery costs. Your lawyer is your shield against this shady treatment. Your lawyer fully investigates what happened to you and uses the evidence to force insurers to provide the maximum in compensation possible.
Personal Injury Hazards in Riverside
Riverside is a busy place. Residents head off to work or school and then return each evening. They stop for groceries, walk the dog in a park, and look for a restaurant for dinner. These are the tasks we perform to keep ourselves and our families up and running, but each stop and even our homes can hold accident hazards.
Driving on local roads is the most dangerous thing most of us do in the course of a week. We’ve all seen close calls on the lanes of Riverside Freeway or along Magnolia Avenue at rush hour. These are usually the fault of careless drivers who should be financially liable if they cause injury to other motorists.
A run into a local supermarket can also prove dangerous. A manager may ignore a spilled water bottle along an aisle until someone comes along and slips, hitting the floor hard enough to break a bone or cause a severe concussion.
A dog owner may allow a pet to get loose in Sycamore Canyon Park causing an innocent bystander to get bit.
These are all cases where someone’s negligence may cause you to suffer a devastating injury. The injury could result in massive medical bills, a change in your lifestyle, and lost time at your job. It’s critical that patients get fully compensated for these and other hardships, but insurance companies don’t always make it easy.
Who Is Responsible for Personal Injuries?
Drivers, business owners, property owners, and even the City of Riverside owe everyone a “duty of care.” Drivers must not make reckless decisions that put others in danger. This duty means business owners are responsible for the safety of customers from the parking lot and all the way to the back bathrooms. Landlords are responsible for providing safe lodging and surrounding grounds for renters.
When these hazards are ignored or go unrepaired and you are hurt, you and your family are empowered to seek help through a personal injury claim. This claim asks for help with things like paying hospital bills and in replacing paychecks you miss while out of work.
Insurance companies will do everything they can to avoid having to accept blame. A Maison Law attorney can collect the evidence needed to make sure at-fault parties and insurers can’t wiggle out of responsibility
What Our Clients Say
What Types of Personal Injury Cases Can Maison Law Help With?
These and other cases are all common types of personal injury claims that Maison Law wants to help victims secure more in compensation for:
- Car Accidents – Car insurance adjusters work to try to shift blame from their policyholders to innocent victims. It’s important to have a Riverside car accident lawyer protecting your interests and working to get the most out of your car accident claim.
- Big Rig Accidents – Heavy semi-trucks and delivery vans speed along freeways and through our neighborhoods. They can run smaller vehicles off the road and collide with cars and SUVs with deadly force. A trucking company or a delivery company like Amazon is responsible for the accidents their careless truck drivers cause.
- Pedestrian Accidents and Bicycle Accidents – Pedestrians have no protection as they are forced to hurry through crosswalks. Cyclists may only have a helmet covering a portion of their heads when they collide with a car and then the pavement. Cyclists and those on foot must receive every bit of support available as they try to recover.
- Motorcycle Accidents – Motorcyclists are also vulnerable as they travel along freeways and city streets. We are advocates for injured riders when insurance companies try to blame accidents on them. We hold reckless drivers responsible and win compensation for the rider to cover the care they need to return to their motorcycles.
- Workplace Accidents — We come to the aid of farm workers and agricultural workers after they’ve been hurt in unsafe work conditions. We rush to the aid of injured construction workers and any other employees hurt in the workplace. Victims may file for workers’ compensation, but there are some hardships that workers’ comp won’t cover. California’s labor laws protect everyone and we can fight for all workers, no matter their immigration status.
- Premises Liability — An apartment landlord or management company for a resort community might neglect to secure a handrail on a set of stairs leading to a fall. A golf course staff may leave a tripping hazard out. If you fall and get hurt, those owners and operators bear liability.
- Slip-and-Fall Injuries — Supermarkets and places like Walmart must provide you with a safe shopping experience. If another customer leaves a spilled drink on those hard floors and you fall, the business owner or company should fully support you through recovery.
- Drowning Risks – A part of premises liability. Hotels and waterparks that offer pools must take responsibility if someone is hurt in the water. The same responsibility lies with apartment complexes with pools. Government departments over parks and local lakes might be responsible if someone tragically drowns.
- Dog Bites – California operates under the legal concept of “strict liability” when it comes to dog bites. It means that dog owners can be held liable for wounds even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. Dog owners are almost always financially responsible for victims. Trusting your case to a skilled Riverside dog bite attorney is the best way to ensure you receive full compensation for a difficult recovery after an attack.
- City Government Liability — Suffering an injury while riding public transportation, while at a public park, or in a public building might leave Riverside, Riverside County, or the state of California liable for an accident. Suing government departments can be more complex than a normal personal injury case, but the attorneys at Maison Law have the experience necessary to negotiate a fair settlement.
- Wrongful Death Benefits — Unfortunately, in the worst cases, careless accidents can lead to the loss of life. California allows family members to seek financial support through a wrongful death claim. A spouse or children of the victim or a Wrongful Death Lawyer can file this civil claim on behalf of the rest of the family. A wrongful death lawsuit would ask for financial help to pay for burial expenses and any medical bills and ambulance fees left behind. The family should also receive reimbursement for the guidance and income the deceased will no longer be able to provide in the future.
Compensation Available for Personal Injury Victims
Your Maison Law attorney works to secure all evidence available after an accident. This will include surveillance video, witness testimony, and legal documents.
Your lawyer will include all of this proof in an accident claim and a full list of the hardships you and your family have endured. Each damage will be critical in increasing the value of your personal injury settlement check:
- Past and future medical expenses
- 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)
- Reimbursement for the repair or replacement of personal property
- The income and benefits victims lose while unable to go to work
- Travel costs while visiting doctors and surgeons
- Wrongful death support for families who lose a loved one to an accident
The families of victims may file wrongful death claims against anyone who contributed to the death of a loved one. Close relatives would seek help with leftover medical bills and funeral costs. They may also need help securing money for the future when a loved one can no longer provide income to help support the family each month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Only provide basic information. Insurance adjusters will ask you to make a recorded statement over the phone. Decline. This is not required. Adjusters hope you say something on the record they can twist to hurt your case later. This mistake can cost you thousands of dollars in support you’ll need in the years to come. Refer any insurance adjusters or corporate lawyers who call you to your own lawyer.
If you feel we can help you earn more for your claim, you won’t need any upfront money to hire Maison Law. We don’t get paid unless we win your case for you. Then our fee comes out of the settlement money you receive.
