Driving to work, picking the kids up from school, picking up groceries, road trips and practically anything you can think of.

Injured in a Car Accident in Los Angeles, CA?

If you or someone you love has been injured in a motor vehicle accident, there are a number of steps you can take to ensure that your legal rights and best interests are protected:

  • File a police report and make sure you get a copy for your own records.
  • Get as much information as you can about other parties involved in the collision including driver's license, vehicle license plates, auto insurance policy information, contacts (telephone, address, e-mail), vehicle registration information, etc.
  • Gather as much evidence as possible from the accident scene. Take photographs of the vehicles involved, damage to the vehicles and any injuries sustained. Get contact information for any eyewitnesses. If you are unable to collect this information, request a family member or friend to do so. Such critical pieces of evidence will be difficult or impossible to obtain once the accident scene is cleared out.
  • Seek and obtain prompt medical attention and treatment for your injuries.
  • Save all bills and receipts of expenses related to the accident and injury.
  • Contact an experienced Los Angeles car accident attorney who will help you understand your legal rights and options.

Hit and Runs are Prevalent in Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Police Department report over 20,000 hit and runs every year, ranging from minor car collisions to catastrophic accidents resulting in multiple fatalities.

If you have encountered a hit and run , file a police report at the scene of the accident, seek medical care and contact a Bisnar Chase hit and run lawyer.

If you did not suffer an injury in a car accident or if you escaped with scratches or relatively minor injuries that did not require you to go to the doctor or get hospitalized, you can probably handle the accident claim on your own by  talking to your auto insurance company.

However, if you did suffer an injury that caused you to be hospitalized, seek physical therapy and miss workdays, then, you have a more complicated injury claim in your hands. It would be in your best interest to retain the services of a reputed car accident law firm that has a long and successful track record negotiating with insurance companies and handling injury cases that are similar to yours. Let the highly skill team of lawyers at Bisnar Chase be of assistance to you.

Why You Cannot Trust the Insurance Company

Here's something everyone needs to understand very clearly: The insurance company is not your friend. You cannot trust them to do what's in your best interest. And that's because they are for-profit corporations that are only concerned about one thing – profits.

One of the ways in which insurance companies make sure their bottom line is secure is by denying claims, even when they are valid and justified. This is why it is not a good idea for injured victims -- who are already in a vulnerable position because of their present condition and recent traumatic experience – to stand alone against a multi-billion-dollar corporation that has defense lawyers on its beck and call, to protect its interests.

You need an advocate on your side, who will look out for your best interests. An experienced Los Angeles car accident lawyer can be that advocate who will not rest until you have been awarded just compensation for your losses. Let our skilled negotiating attorneys work on your behalf while you recover and regain your strength.

What is Your Los Angeles Car Accident Claim Worth?

The worth or value of your car accident or scooter accident claim will depend on the nature and extent of your injuries and the types of damages and losses you have sustained. The higher the damages and losses, the more your claim will be worth. Some of the elements that would determine the value of your claim include:

  • Medical bills: This refers to any expenses you may have incurred in terms of emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgeries, cost of medication, medical equipment and rehabilitative therapy.
  • Lost wages: If you lose income because you had to take days off work, then you can seek compensation for the wages you lost as you took time off to recover from your injuries.
  • Loss of earning capacity: If you suffered a permanent injury or disability that prevents you from going back to your job or reduces your earning capacity, you can seek compensation for those losses that will include lost future income.
  • Noneconomic damages: Seriously injured car accident victims suffer not only physical pain, but also mental anguish. A car accident is a traumatic event and it can take a toll on your body and emotions. Victims can also seek compensation from the at-fault parties for pain and suffering and emotional distress.

What Are the First Things I need to do After a Car Accident in LA?

 Seeking proper medical attention immediately to ensure safety to your health and well-being, as well as documenting your injuries in association with the accident. If no documentation exists of your injuries in result of the accident, it never happened.  Exchanging insurance, identification and contact information with everyone associated with the accident. Contacting a car accident attorney immediately to discuss the specifics of your injury case.

What Am I Entitled to if I Have Been in A Los Angeles Auto Accident?

Every car accident varies. What you are entitled to depends on the circumstances relating to the accident such as cases of reckless driving, to accidents involving intoxicated drivers, to premise liabilities that initially caused the wreck.

When compensation is awarded to the victim or victims, it can include an amount to cover medical expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, the loss of future income, loss of companionship, etc.

Some cases Bisnar Chase has closed have reached 7 and 8 figures.

What Happens if the Accident Was with Someone Who Has No Insurance?

Your policy should always have uninsured motorist coverage because if the other party has no assets and no coverage then there is no one to go after. You would want to do an asset search to find out if they own property or have income that you could perhaps go after in lieu of having auto coverage.

Consulting with an attorney is important because it will help you avoid any possible mistakes that could harm your case. Insurance companies only want your money and you need to protect yourself from losing the majority of your compensation and let an attorney fight for the maximum amount.

What if No Other Car was Involved in the Accident, But it Wasn't My Fault?

Fortunately, Bisnar Chase never backs down from our clients fight and will continue to the end until we win, or you don't pay a cent.

Is it Okay if I Consult with Insurance Companies After an Auto Accident?

No. Insurance companies want to pay the least amount of money they can for a claim and will advise you in the opposite direction of what will benefit you. And attorney will be sure to make sure you receive maximum compensation and the insurance companies know that so they will tend to persuade you not to hire an attorney. You have to remember the insurance company is for profit and not your friend.

What Do I Need to Bring to My Initial Consultation?

Bring as much evidence with you as you can because the more you can tell and show your attorney the better he will be able to understand the circumstances of your case.
