The Personal Injury Claim Process in Ventura County, California

The claim process can be difficult to handle when you’re already dealing with injuries and trauma. The right LA injury attorney can make a major difference to you and your case.

If you are considering filing an injury claim or a wrongful death claim for a preventable accident in Los Angeles , you are probably curious about the process. Your injury attorney at our firm will be happy to give you details on what to expect, but here is a general guideline of the personal injury claim process.

Investigation of Your Accident

The first step in the claim process is looking at your accident to determine what caused it and who is to blame. Sometimes, it’s not immediately obvious who is responsible, so evidence will need to be collected that shows cause and proves liability.

Calculating Your Losses

Next, it’s important to figure out the value of your claim by calculating your total losses. This could include financial losses, such as lost wages. It could include non-financial losses, such as pain and suffering. Once you’ve determined your losses, you can calculate the full and true settlement amount the at-fault party’s insurance company will owe you.

Putting Your Case Together

Then, you must put your case together using the evidence you’ve collected. Claim paperwork will need to be completed. Once complete, you will submit your claim with the at-fault person’s insurer.

Insurance Negotiations or Court in California

The insurer can offer to settle your case. They can agree to pay you an amount that adequately covers your losses. If they don’t settle your case, then you could choose to take your case to trial. Most cases can be settled outside of court.

Los Angeles Personal Injury FAQ

An injury accident in California could shake up your life, and you will likely need financial compensation to move forward following your injury. Although you know you have the right to file a claim, you probably have some questions as to how to go about this process.

The Law Offices of Gary K. Walch, a Law Corporation has Los Angeles personal injury lawyers that can answer any and all of your questions during a free case analysis. You’ll also find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions here below.

Does it matter what type of accident I was injured in?

No matter what type of accident you were hurt in, a lawyer at our firm can help you with your case. There are different laws that apply to different case types. For instance, car accident laws relate to car accidents, and premises liability laws relate to injuries caused by hazards on someone’s property. Attorneys at our firm will know which laws apply to your case.

Will I have to testify in court to win compensation for my personal injury?

Going to court and testifying in an accident case is rarely necessary. In most situations, a case can be settled outside the courtroom.

I can’t afford an injury attorney in Los Angeles. What should I do?

Most people don’t have a lot of money sitting in an account somewhere to spend on a lawyer. You don’t have to worry about paying your lawyer upfront at our firm. Attorneys at our firm work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury and wrongful death cases. Our fees will come out of your settlement, and you only pay for our services if and when we win your case.

Should I talk to the at-fault person’s insurance company?

It’s often recommended that you don’t talk to an insurer without speaking to a lawyer first. In fact, your attorney can deal with the insurance company for you. A lawyer will know how to communicate to the insurance company without harming your case. They will also know what a fair settlement for your case looks like.

Are there time limitations on injury claims in California?

Yes, there are. In California, you have only two years to bring an injury claim against the person who caused your accident. Failure to bring your claim within the designated time frame could result in a dismissal of your case. You will likely miss out on your opportunity to receive a settlement for your injury accident unless you file within the mandated time frame.
