If you were injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, you probably have a solid personal injury case. The main goal of a personal injury claim is to recover compensation for injuries and other losses from the at-fault party. Whether it was another driver, a trucking company, or a road hazard that caused your accident, you shouldn’t have to face the challenges alone. 

A personal injury lawyer can help you file this type of civil case and go after the person or entity who caused your accident. Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee, which means they do not charge hourly fees, but rather take a percentage of your settlement award. Our Downey law firm can explain the fee structure and much more in a completely free, no-risk consultation by phone, at our office, or at your home. 

This is a question we get often from prospective clients. Many times, they come to us unsure about whether or not they have a valid case. Many in fact tell us that they already talked to the insurance company. This is a big mistake. 

Insurance adjusters are notoriously difficult to work with. Their main goal is to close your claim as quickly and cheaply as possible. Unfortunately, injured victims will accept the first settlement offer that does not fully cover their expenses. A lawyer can advise you on your options and help you obtain the maximum compensation. We never settle for less, and neither should you.
