Each accident is different, and requires different legal theories that your attorney must have to know. Not only must your attorney have to know the claims that you should bring against the defendant which is the party the lawsuit is filed against, but your attorney should also know what type of defenses they should expect. Defendants have a variety of defenses that they could bring forward, which include:
- Assumption of risk: this is a very common defense brought by the defendant that argues that the injured should have known they were going to get injured because they assumed the risk of that dangerous activity.
- Liability: the defendant could admit liability, but could also say that the injured was more liable.
- The injured does not have severe damages since they did not visit a medical provider. One of the best advice that a person who has been involved in an accident can take is to see a medical provider as soon as they have been involved in an accident.
Do I need a car accident attorney?
In California, you have the right to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. But, it is not required that you have legal representation. This means that you could file a lawsuit against the other party even without having an attorney. But, it is important to remember that the other party will most likely have an attorney representing them. A car accident attorney, even an insurance adjuster, will try to take advantage of a party that is not represented. They could use a variety of legal terms and theories to get you confused. After an accident, you may be suffering several different types of injuries, and representing yourself may not be your number one priority. Let our attorneys handle it for you, and contact us today for a free consultation.
How can our attorneys determine liability?
There are a variety of factors that our attorneys take into consideration when determining who is liable. For example, The different types of evidence we look at include:
- Surveillance footage of the accident: usually, many people involved in an accident are not aware that there are several active street cameras, even businesses that have alarm cameras pointed into the street. This could be very important when determining which party was at fault, or how the accident occurred.
- Police report: after an accident has occurred, parties will most likely call the police. When the police arrive at a scene of the accident, they will generate a police report. The police report may go into specifics as to how the accident occurred and state any statements that each party may have said after the accident.
- Dashboard footage: nowadays, many newer cars have cameras that record outside of the vehicle at all times. This could be very helpful in the time of an accident.
- Medical examinations: after an accident, you should get the help of a medical provider. A medical provider will run a variety of tests, including imaging, to determine where your injuries are. This will also help us to determine how severe the accident was.
- Eyewitness statements: considering that Los Angeles has several busy streets and roads, there most likely will be an eye witness to your accident. We highly encourage our clients to get their witness information as soon as possible since it may be difficult to track the witness after the accident has occurred. Make sure that you get the drivers license information of the eye witness, along with their phone number and / or email address.
After an accident, it is very crucial that you collect all these above types of evidence. All these factors above will become very important resources not only to your insurance company but also to your attorney when making sure that you got the compensation you deserve.
