Los Angeles Serious and Fatal Injury Lawyer

Representation for Victims of Serious Accidents in Southern California

At Pacific Attorney Group, our team of experienced lawyers represents clients throughout the greater Los Angeles area in the wake of serious accidents and fatal or catastrophic injuries. When an injury is caused by another person's negligent conduct, this may fall under the governance of personal injury law, which grants the victim the right to seek financial compensation for his or her injuries. This is accomplished by filing a lawsuit in civil court and then seeking monetary damages by way of a negotiated settlement or jury award.

If you or someone you love suffered catastrophic injuries in a serious accident in Los Angeles or any of the surrounding areas, you may wish to consider involving an injury lawyer. When someone else caused your injuries, this may be grounds for legal action. Having an attorney at your side can make a significant impact on your ability to recover maximum financial compensation that will cover medical expenses, future medical care, lost earnings, and possibly much more. All of this can help you and your family recover in the wake of a serious or fatal accident.

What causes catastrophic injuries?

There are numerous causes of catastrophic injuries, many of which may stem from negligence, or a failure to act with reasonable care. Our law firm takes on all types of catastrophic injury claims, including those stemming from car accidents, truck accidents, boat accidents, motorcycle accidents, and all other types of motor vehicle collisions. We also handle claims involving dog bites and slip and fall accidents, as well as medical malpractice and defective products. Any of these situations may cause the most serious of injuries to one or more victims, and this will typically result in exorbitant medical bills, hospitalization, physical therapy, and a long recovery period. That is why our Los Angeles injury attorneys are dedicated to assisting our clients in recovering the money they need to rebuild their lives.

How Negligence Causes Serious Accidents and Injuries

Under California personal injury law, negligence may be defined as an action or failure to act that causes physical or emotional harm to another person. Recklessness or carelessness may be forms of negligence, wherein a person fails to act with reasonable caution or care. Auto accidents, for example, are the most common grounds for personal injury claims. Drivers may be distracted, drunk, or talking on the phone and may cause a serious accident that fatally injures other drivers or passengers. These injuries may then be grounds for civil lawsuits against the negligent parties.

An injury lawyer with the proper resources and knowledge can work to investigate a serious accident in order to determine what party should be held legally accountable in civil court. For a case involving catastrophic or fatal injury, this may be a driver or perhaps a property owner, manufacturer, doctor, dog owner, or any other individual or entity that did not act with proper care.

In addition to determining who should be held accountable after a serious accident or injury, a skilled lawyer can investigate the circumstances surrounding the case to determine the full impact that the injury will have on the victim and/or the victim's family. Recovering maximum compensation is crucial in these cases, as the medical bills, ongoing care and lost earnings that an individual or family may suffer are likely to be extreme. By working with medical professionals, economists, psychologists and other expert witnesses, we can properly determine the value of a client's claim and can then seek the full financial compensation to which they may be entitled by presenting this information in a clear and compelling manner. Whether we secure a settlement outside of the courtroom through negotiation or take a case to trial and secure a winning verdict, we will seek the highest amount of monetary damages possible.
