When you’re hurt because another person was careless, recovery may not be easy. You may have difficulty getting the answers you need. Even if you’re sure you have a strong case against the at-fault party, finding the answers you need and choosing a personal injury lawyer is no simple task.
If you’ve been hurt in an accident and you have questions, bring these questions and others to a respected local lawyer. Our attorneys can offer personalized answers when you choose Kohan & Bablove LLP.
Do I Have Grounds for a Lawsuit?
One of your first questions may be about eligibility. That’s especially true in more complex claims, where you may believe you were partly responsible for the accident.
Your lawyer can help you ensure you’re eligible for compensation. They can review who injured you and whether they were being careless. If someone was negligent with your safety, you may have the grounds you need for a lawsuit.
Your lawyer can also handle other factors, like partial fault. Taking the blame can reduce your compensation, but your lawyer can help you maximize the funds you’ll receive.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?
When you’re hurt by someone’s carelessness, you may need to act fast. Typically, a California personal injury claim must be filed within two years of the accident. If you don’t act on time, your claim may be dismissed, leaving you with no compensation.
Because this time limit can approach quickly, you may need to speak with your lawyer as soon as possible about your claim. They can help you make a timeline for your claim, so you can act fast.
Do I Really Need a Lawyer?
Many people believe their claim is clear-cut and simple. They don’t think they need a lawyer, but the decision to sue without a lawyer’s help can come back to haunt them.
A personal injury lawyer can be a key part of your claim because they have the experience to deal with any complications that may come from your claim. For example, the insurance company may try to use your words against you, denying you compensation or acting in bad faith. An experienced lawyer will have the knowledge and tools to handle all negotiations and communications with the insurance company to ensure you are not taken advantage of.
With a lawyer on your side, you don’t have to worry about calculating the total value of your claim, gathering evidence, or arguing in court. Rest easy and focus on rebuilding your life as a competent legal team handles your claim each step of the way.
