What Our Clients Say
Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer After an Accident?
If your accident only involves property damage or very minor injuries, you probably won’t need the help of a lawyer. But it’s a different story when someone’s negligence causes you to suffer serious injuries. Injuries like broken bones or head trauma will result in higher medical bills.
This will scare insurance companies and send them looking for ways to avoid having to provide you with support. They may look to blame you for your accident or try to discount your injury and leave you with most of the bills.
A Santa Maria personal injury lawyer may be a necessary safeguard for your case. Your lawyer fully investigates your accident and backs your injury claim with strong evidence. Then your Maison Law attorney demands the most possible for your injury claim.
Common Personal Injuries Suffered by Santa Maria Victims
Santa Maria continues to grow and with that growth should come increased attention to safety for all workers, commuters, and shoppers in the city. Reckless drivers on Broadway, negligent store owners, and employers who don’t take workplace safety seriously should all be held accountable when people get hurt.
Since personal injury cases can involve multiple insurance companies, lawyers, and worldwide corporations, it’s often vital that victims have their own legal representation. A lawyer making sure your rights as a victim are protected can make all the difference when it comes to the amount of compensation you receive.
Here are just a few of the types of injury cases we can help victims with:
- Vehicle Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Bicycle Accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Uber Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Wrongful Death
- Slip-and-Fall
- Dog Bites
Any accident can take a tragic turn and cause sudden death or lead to someone passing away from their injuries over time. In these difficult cases, close family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit when someone’s negligence caused the tragedy.
Other cases that Maison Law can help navigate may involve dog bites, harmful products that injure you or your family in your home, and any other case that involves you getting hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault.

How Much Is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?
Before having heard the details of an accident and investigating, your attorney will have a hard time giving an accurate estimate of what you may earn in a settlement check. Your lawyer must first examine the extent of your medical bills to this point and the cost of care you may need in the future.
Everyone heals at a different pace and some victims develop permanent disabilities. These lifelong consequences will require your lawyer to seek support that covers your care and support over the long term. The time you miss from work and your struggles to support your family must also factor into any settlement you sign off on.
In a claim filed with the insurance company, your lawyer lists standard damages experienced by all victims after an accident. Your lawyer will also document some hardships you may not have thought of. Every damage you include in your claim and helps increase the value of your personal injury settlement check.
These are just a few examples of what factors that will determine how much you receive in a settlement or in a court judgment:
- Hospital and injury rehabilitation 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).
- Damage or destruction of property.
- Travel costs while visiting doctors and surgeons. The expense of shuttle services while you are on crutches or in a wheelchair.
- Past and future lost earnings.
- Wrongful death benefits. The support families can demand after the tragic loss of a loved one in a deadly accident.
Your Maison Law attorney gets aggressive with insurance adjusters to earn a fair settlement offer that covers every hardship you and your family have suffered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Two years. California has a strict two year statute of limitations on all personal injury and wrongful death claims. Although you have a two year limit, it’s always best to get your case moving ASAP while the details are fresh.
Premises liability claims have to do with unsafe conditions in a given property. If a proprietor fails to do his or her duty to prevent safety issues on their property, they could be liable to a premises liability claim. If you’re unsure whether your case qualifies for this claim, you may want to speak with a premises liability specialist.
Maison Law’s personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis. It means that we don’t get paid unless we win your case for you. Then our fee comes out of the settlement you receive.
