What Does a Cerritos Personal Injury Attorney Do?

When you file a claim, you must prove the other party was negligent and that their negligence caused the accident and your subsequent injuries and other damages. The process of handling a complex claim alone can be overwhelming, especially if you have no experience with personal injury law or have never negotiated with an insurance company before. This is where a personal injury attorney can help.

At Lem Garcia Law, our personal injury attorneys can help by:

 

 

Investigating the Accident

Our personal injury lawyers will visit the scene of the accident to gather valuable evidence that can strengthen your claim. We will also take photos of the accident scene, including anything that may have contributed to the crash, such as poor road conditions.

 

 

Recopilación de pruebas

Our personal injury attorneys will gather evidence that can strengthen your claim and prove negligence.

Evidence can include:

  • Accident report
  • Photos of your injuries and vehicle damage
  • Video surveillance footage
  • Phone records
  • Employment records
  • Historial médico
  • Facturas médicas
  • Declaraciones de testigos
  • Statements from your treating physicians

Y más.

 

 

Establishing Liability

We will work with experts, such as accident reconstructionists, to determine what caused the accident and which party was negligent.

 

 

Negociar con la compañía de seguros

We will handle all communication with the insurance company to protect your rights and your claim. Doing so will prevent the insurance company from contacting you directly.

Insurance companies often try to contact the injured party to record their statement, while asking misleading, confusing questions that can cause the accident victim to admit fault or state that their injuries are not as severe as they claim they are. Insurance adjusters may also offer a low settlement, hoping the fast cash will be enough to make the injured party go away. We will accurately value your claim and negotiate with the insurance company until they offer the fair settlement you deserve.
