Auto accidents happen in many ways, and The Barnes Firm has deep experience handling all types, including those involving the following:
Injuries we often see in car crashes include the following:
Some injuries may seem minor at first, but worsen over time. Therefore, immediate medical care and legal guidance are essential.
It is normal to have doubts and concerns about partnering with a lawyer, especially after a minor accident. However, an experienced Glendale car crash attorney can protect your rights and help you maximize the compensation. They will investigate, collect evidence, assess your damages, negotiate with insurers, and litigate your case if necessary.
Insurance companies may use tactics like low offers and blame shifting to minimize how much compensation you receive. When you are hurt, the last thing you need is to deal with aggressive insurers. That is where we step in. The Barnes Firm can guide and protect you from insurers, ensuring you receive the full amount needed to cover damages.
After an auto wreck, you may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover the financial losses, while non-economic damages cover the less-quantifiable impacts. Losses you can seek compensation for include the following:
Every case is different. We will thoroughly assess all your damages and work to help you get the best result possible.
Under California’s statute of limitations, most car accident victims have two years from the incident date to file a personal injury claim. However, there are some exceptions, such as cases involving government entities or minors.
Waiting too long to file can jeopardize the right to recover compensation. Due to the complexities surrounding the filing process, we recommend consulting an experienced attorney as soon as possible to protect evidence, meet deadlines, and review your legal options.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, slip and fall, construction accident, or have suffered another type of personal injury contact our team today.
Free Case Evaluation or call us: (800) 800-0000I received top-notch expert counsel from John Sheehan and his legal team. He fought a hard [uphill] battle to get my car accident case a fair settlement. He brings years of experience, and it reflects in his professionalism and expertise. I’d highly recommend him for your personal injury case in a heartbeat.
Excellent service throughout the process after our car accident. The team was great [in] assisting us with our concerns. I appreciate all of your help through it all. There is so much to navigate. We had so many questions. Thank you for your guidance and for addressing all of our concerns.
My personal injury lawyer was Scott Kennedy, and he helped me with my auto accident lawsuit. I can’t thank them enough! The star [was] Isabel the caseworker. She constantly knew everything, [and] was completely up on the case. Each time I called her, she hardly ever had to look anything up cuz she somehow knew all the details.
I just wound up my car accident case. It was very complicated, and my lawyer, Christian Oliver with The Barnes Firm, was able to get me a fair settlement despite my own insurance company trying to lowball me. I can’t thank Christian & his paralegal Rochelle Bergado enough!
If another driver hits you and then flees the scene, it is important to contact emergency services for any injuries you sustain. Document the incident and file a police report. Any evidence from the scene may help identify the hit-and-run driver, including photos and videos, their vehicle’s license plate or make and model, or witness testimonies. Get immediate medical attention, even if you don’t think you were seriously injured as some injuries can take longer to appear.
Each case is different and will vary in length based on several factors, including the extent of your injuries. If the fault is clear and the insurer cooperates, your attorney could negotiate a fair settlement within a few weeks to a couple of months. However, if a case must go to court, the process may be drawn out and could take over a year to conclude.
Most cases settle outside of court. If insurance companies offer low-ball settlements, the incident involves numerous damages, or there are liability disputes, your Glendale attorney may recommend taking the car accident case to court.
Each case is unique, and there is no set standard for how much a case is worth. Factors that determine a case’s value include the nature and severity of the injuries, the impacts on the victim’s life, the available insurance coverage, the strength of the evidence, the apportionment of the blame, and the willingness of the parties to negotiate.
Yes, California has a pure comparative negligence law. Therefore, you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault in a car accident. This law allows you to recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of the fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% responsible for the accident, you can still recover 80% of the damages.
Do not wait to get the help you deserve after a car crash. The team at The Barnes Firm and are available 24/7 for support and can visit you at your location. There is no fee unless you get paid, alleviating the stress of financial concerns.
