Seeking Justice in a Personal Injury Claim

During this time, you may be out of work and receiving ongoing medical treatment for the injuries you sustained in the accident. An insurance company may call several times a day, harassing you to accept their lowball settlement offer. Let the personal injury lawyers at our firm handle all communication with an insurance company and negotiate a reasonable and fair settlement on your behalf. Now is the time to contact a personal injury attorney and hold the at-fault party responsible for your injuries and other damages.

Comparative Negligence

California is a pure comparative negligence state. This means that if a plaintiff in a personal injury suit is partially at fault for the accident, they can still receive compensation. A court can assign and distribute fault in a complex accident. Each party involved in the accident will be assigned a percentage of fault. The percentage assigned determines how much each of the parties involved must pay. An injured party will not get the full amount of compensation unless they are 0% at fault. Instead, the award they receive will be based on their percentage of fault. For example, if the victim of an accident has been found to be 10%, at fault for the accident, that 10% will be taken out of the compensation awarded by the court. This means, if you have been partially found at-fault for an accident you can still seek compensation in the state of California.

Types of Personal Injury Claims

Below, you’ll find a list of the common types of claims a personal injury lawyer at MVP Accident Attorneys handles:

Auto Accidents

Motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, drunk driving and car accidents are among the most dangerous and challenging experiences. The accident victim is often out of work and recovering from the injuries sustained in the accident. With no money coming in, the accident victim finds himself or herself struggling to make ends meet and may be tempted to accept a lowball offer made by an insurance adjuster.

Lawyers at MVP Accident Attorneys work tirelessly on behalf of our clients in Irvine and throughout the state. Our trusted legal team has helped several families deal with stubborn insurance companies who refuse to offer a fair settlement. We have also helped clients who have struggled to pay crippling medical bills and people who have suffered permanent and debilitating injuries. Don't allow an auto accident to impact your family's future. Retaining a personal injury lawyer can help you take back control of your life. We will handle all communication with the insurance adjuster and negotiate the maximum compensation.

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving 18-wheelers are very complex and often devastating due to the sheer weight and massive size of these vehicles. Our firm understands that your injuries may be life-altering and severe. It's our job to ensure you receive the amount of compensation from all parties responsible for your injuries. We have extensive experience negotiating and communicating with insurance adjusters and will not be deterred by their aggressive tactics. We will fight for your right to full compensation and speak on your behalf to protect your claim and your rights.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are often to blame for auto accidents. Unfortunately, because the motorcyclist does not have the same type of protection that a driver in a passenger vehicle does, the motorcyclist also often receives the brunt of an accident. In these cases, the injuries are often severe or may even be fatal. Unfortunately, insurance companies and motorists are often less sympathetic to motorcycle accident victims compared to victims of passenger cars. At MVP Accident Attorneys, knowledgeable and experienced motorcycle accident attorneys will hold the at-fault driver responsible for your injuries and other damages. We believe every client deserves the best possible representation and we will work tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Slip & Fall

Victims of slip and fall accidents that are caused by the negligence of a business or property owner can hold the property or business owner accountable. Our firm can help you seek financial damages that will cover the cost of your injuries and other damages. These accidents often occur due to property owner negligence. We will build a solid case and hold the property owner and insurance company responsible for your injuries.

Pedestrian Accidents

Irvine is a pedestrian-friendly city. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean that local joggers, runners, and walkers are immune to the consequences of a driver's mistakes. Pedestrian accidents can often result in major injuries, and the victims of these accidents typically face a very long road to recovery.

Medical Negligence

Our attorneys have extensive experience in medical negligence cases, including cases that involve all types of medical errors. We represent clients in cases against all types of medical facilities all over the state.

Nursing Home Negligence

Negligence in a nursing home can take many forms. If a loved one is exhibiting signs of a traumatic injury, improper medication, malnutrition, dehydration, or any other type of unexplained medical condition, you should seek medical attention right away and contact a personal injury attorney. Additionally, financial abuse is another type of issue that's common in nursing homes as well. If you are concerned about your loved one's situation, we encourage you to call our office right away.

Construction Site Accidents

If you work in construction and have been involved in an accident on the job, filing for workers' compensation benefits may not be the only source of financial recovery. Our attorneys represent workers in claims against suppliers, manufacturers, subcontractors, contractors, and other companies. We will ensure you receive maximum compensation for any type of job-related injury.

Wrongful Death

If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of others, you must discuss your options with an experienced attorney. Our team of personal injury lawyers has extensive experience handling wrongful death cases that involve nursing home abuse, medical errors, vehicle collisions, and other fatal accidents.

Birth Injuries

A birth injury can result from a wide range of medical errors during pregnancy, or in labor and delivery. If your infant was born with a birth defect or birth injury, determining the cause of his or her condition will be crucial to receiving the financial compensation you and your child deserve. Our firm has the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to hold medical facilities and physicians accountable for their errors and will fight aggressively to recover the compensation your family deserves. Unfortunately, birth injuries are caused by a form of negligence and are far more common than many people realize. We handle birth injuries cases such as:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Shoulder dystocia
• Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
• Klumpke's palsy
• Erb’s palsy
• Cerebral palsy
• Caput succedaneum
• Brachial plexus injuries
• Bone fractures
• Anoxia

If your child has been diagnosed with a birth injury, our attorneys can also help you locate a doctor who can provide the care and treatment your child needs.

Defective Products Liability

A defective product can cause a serious or life-threatening injury. Unfortunately, defective products cause an untold number of accidents and deaths each year. However, many people who have been injured by a defective product never seek compensation. Either the person doesn't know their rights, or they assume that they would be wasting their time trying to sue a product manufacturer. In either case, they often make the unfortunate decision not to seek justice and the compensation they deserve.

We Will Fight for You

At MVP Accident Attorneys, we have extensive experience and an excellent track record for success in product liability claims. Our attorneys can handle all types of defective product cases involving any type of product and will fight tirelessly to recover maximum compensation for your losses. If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, California law entitles you to seek fair compensation. Our lawyers can use their extensive experience to ensure you recover the financial compensation you need to move on with your life.

Like other types of personal injury claims, when you file a claim based on product liability, you're entitled to compensation for economic and non-economic losses. Being injured by a defective product can be very traumatic and many accident victims experience chronic pain and suffering. With our vast experience in these types of complex cases, we can thoroughly investigate and assess the non-financial effects the injuries have had on your life to ensure that you receive maximum compensation.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in California

In California, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is two years. You must move forward soon after your accident has occurred to ensure that your case does not get barred from court. Failure to file your claim before the statute of limitations can prevent you from receiving compensation for your injuries. While two years may seem like a long time for most people, these complex cases require a thorough investigation. If you decide to file the claim on your own and you're missing important documents or you filed the incorrect documents, you may end up missing this important deadline. Because of this, we strongly suggest you contact our office to meet with one of our personal injury lawyers to discuss the facts of your case and what your legal options are before it's too late. We will get the ball rolling as soon as possible to ensure your case is filed well before the deadline.

By taking legal action promptly we can:

• Recover maximum compensation as quickly as possible
• Avoid costly mistakes
• Collect all of the evidence needed to prove negligence
• Properly and fully investigate your claim

How to Protect Your Claim

When you file a personal injury claim there are many mistakes you must avoid to prevent harming your claim.

This can include:

• Accepting payment from an insurance company before you know exactly how much compensation you're entitled to
• Resuming physical activity or returning to work too quickly
• Failing to seek medical treatment or follow your doctor’s treatment recommendations
• Discussing your case with neighbors, friends, coworkers, insurance adjusters, or posting about it on social media platforms.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies in a Personal Injury Lawsuit

An attorney will spend a significant amount of time going back and forth with insurance companies, in an attempt to negotiate fair compensation for your injuries. An insurance company may be unwilling to offer a settlement amount that will cover all of your damages, in which case, your attorney will file a lawsuit to hold the negligent party and/or the insurance company, responsible for your damages. In most cases, once an insurance company realizes you are serious about fighting for fair compensation, they will work out a fair and reasonable settlement amount with your attorney. No insurance company wants to go through a costly and lengthy trial.

How Much is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?

The value of a personal injury claim will depend on a variety of factors, such as:

• Lost earning potential
• Lost wages
• Medical expenses
• Permanency and severity of your injuries

Our attorneys will only be able to estimate how much we believe your case is worth after reviewing the individual facts of your specific situation, including your employment records and medical records. As new information is discovered, the value of your case can also change. In many cases, the more severe the injuries, the higher the claim value.
