Laguna Woods Personal Injury Lawyer

A personal injury refers to any type of injury sustained in an accident. The majority of personal injury accidents in Laguna Woods result in minor injuries that require minimal medical treatment and often do not interfere with the accident victim’s ability to return to work or participate in the activities they love. Other accidents can result in serious, life-changing injuries that can impact every aspect of the injured party’s life, resulting in steep medical bills, significant pain and suffering, and weeks or months of time missed at work. These types of catastrophic injuries demand the immediate attention of an experienced accident lawyer in Laguna Woods from MVP Accident Attorneys, a personal injury law firm with a reputation for fighting for the rights of their clients.

Personal Injury Lawyer Laguna Woods

When you’re injured in an accident, even a seemingly minor injury can affect your mental well-being, physical health, and financial security. Injuries such as a concussion, broken bones, or whiplash may seem of little consequence at the time, but even these types of injuries can have a lasting and profound effect on someone’s health and comfort and can quickly become a massive financial burden on the accident victim and their family. Because of this, it’s a good idea to meet with an experienced, qualified personal injury attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can help determine if legal action makes sense, assess your current damages, and project future complications and losses. They can then thoroughly investigate your case, negotiate with insurance adjusters and fight for your right to fair compensation.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle

While any type of accident can result in an injury, some are more likely to lead to lasting and serious complications than others. Some of the top causes of catastrophic injuries include:

Auto Accidents

Auto accidents are among the most common types of compensation claims our firm handles each year. When you work with our legal team, you'll have reliable, strong, legal representation from an experienced car accident attorney who will not back down from a fight.

A traffic collision can include motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, and pedestrian accidents, some of which can result in catastrophic injuries and permanent disabilities. Some types of auto accidents, such as T-bone accidents and head-on collisions, can be fatal. A rear-end accident often results in minor injuries, but can also result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities, depending on how fast the liable party was driving.

If you were injured in an auto accident, you should never have to pay out of pocket for medical care for injuries that were caused by the negligence of drivers. With strong legal representation from MVP Accident Attorneys, an auto accident attorney can help you receive maximum compensation from the responsible party.

Some of the most common causes of auto accidents can include:

• Distracted driving
• Drunk driving
• Drowsy driving

Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip and fall accident on a property that’s poorly maintained is among one of the most common types of personal injury accidents our attorneys handle each year. Missing handrails, broken stairs, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, wet or icy surfaces, or improperly secured properties are all common causes of slip and fall accidents in Laguna Woods. When you’re injured on someone’s property due to dangerous or hazardous conditions, you may be entitled to compensation for all accident-related damages.

Truck Accidents

A trucking accident is often caused by truck driver error. Truckers are on tight deadlines and may be pressured by their employer to deliver a load on time or ahead of time. Under these conditions, a trucker may be fatigued, stressed, and overwhelmed, due to a lack of sleep and/or breaks. Truck drivers must follow the hours of service rule, which prevents them from driving more than fourteen consecutive hours. A truck driver can drive for fourteen consecutive hours only after a ten-hour break. Some truckers will falsify their driver’s logs and continue to drive without breaks. In other cases, a traffic accident can be caused by a distracted driver, a trailer that was loaded incorrectly, a poorly maintained vehicle, or defective truck parts, such as faulty air brakes. A trucking accident involving a passenger vehicle can result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. A truck accident lawyer in Laguna Beach with extensive experience handling accident claims will know how to investigate a trucking accident and will explore every avenue of financial compensation to ensure the injured party receives the settlement they deserve.

Accident Injuries

Injuries sustained in an accident can range from minor to life-changing. Some of the most common types of injuries our attorneys come across include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Concussions
• Broken bones
• Road rash
• Spinal cord damage
• Amputations
• Whiplash
• Soft tissue damage
• Internal organ damage
• Internal bleeding
• Back and neck injuries
• Burns

Personal Injury Compensation

Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages, such as:

• Pain and suffering
• Past and future medical care expenses
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity
• Property damage
• Loss of consortium
• Emotional distress

And more.

Every case is unique and the damages sought should be designed to meet the actual needs of the injured party.

Handling Insurance Companies

After an accident, an insurance adjuster from the other party’s insurance company will contact you as quickly as possible, to get your side of the story. During this time, they will ask if they can record your statement, as they ask confusing and misleading questions that are designed to get an accident victim to admit fault or harm their claim in other ways. An insurance adjuster may initially seem helpful and friendly but can quickly become aggressive if you do not accept their lowball settlement offer. Dealing with harassing phone calls from an insurance company can be overwhelming, especially if you sustained catastrophic injuries. When you work with one of our personal injury accident attorneys, we will handle all interactions with the insurance company, to protect your claim and your rights. While we negotiate with the insurance adjuster for a fair settlement offer, you can recover in peace.
