LONG BEACH PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER

Personal Injury Cases We Represent

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that accidental injuries are a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, sending more than 30 million people each year to hospitals and emergency rooms. Unfortunately, for as many as 130,000 other victims, these injuries prove to be fatal.

While often attributed as being ‘accidental’, personal injuries are more often the result of reckless or negligent actions of the parts of others. At Fisher & Talwar, we help hold responsible parties accountable for the damages they have caused, and assist clients in getting the compensation they deserve in the following types of cases:

• Car accidents, which are often the result of dangerous driving behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving, and driving under the influence;
• Trucking accidents, which can result from driver inexperience, poor truck maintenance, or uneven loading;
• Motorcycle accidents, which often involve the reckless behavior of other drivers;
• Pedestrian and bicycling accidents, which result from drivers who fail to follow safety regulations or obey traffic signals;
• Sports and recreational accidents, due to safety violations and lack of protective equipment;
• Dog bites and attacks, caused by owners who fail to secure or control their pets;
• Slip and Fall cases, which often result from property owners or managers who allows dangerous conditions to exist, such as wet floors, uneven sidewalks, or loose fixtures;
• Product liability cases, due to dangerous and defective products;
• Medical malpractice cases, which involve medical mistakes and errors made by doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals.  

In addition to the above, other types of personal injury cases we represent involve food poisoning, burns, and drowning accidents, as well as intentional injuries caused by bullying and violent assaults or abuse.

Seeking Compensation Through Insurance Company Claim

Depending on where and how your injuries occurred, you may be contacted by an insurance company for the at fault party. When dealing with these companies, it is important to realize that they are in business to make money, and commonly employ several tactics when dealing with victims:

• Disputing the amount of damages you have suffered;
• Using statements you make to blame you for the accident and denying your claim;
• Making quick settlement offers for far less than what your claim is worth knowing that once you accept, you have no further rights to compensation.

When you are injured and have been contacted by an insurance company, it is vitally important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney before making any statements or signing any documents. We can protect your interests and negotiate with the insurer on your behalf, so that you get the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled to.

When to File A Personal Injury Lawsuit

In certain situations, there may not be an insurance policy in place to cover your injuries, or an agreeable settlement amount cannot be reached, despite negotiations. In these cases, you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit. Under California court rules, those who are injured due to the reckless or negligent actions of another have up to two years to seek compensation through a court of law. Damages available through a personal injury claim often go far above what you could get in an insurance company settlement, and include the following types of compensation:  

• Current and future medical expenses;
• Lost wages and future losses in income and benefits;
• Pain, suffering, and mental anguish;
• Loss of enjoyment in life, which compensates you for lasting disabilities;
• Loss of companionship, which compensates your spouse when your injuries prevent you from participating in activities as a couple;
• Death benefits, which compensates surviving family members if an injury proves fatal.  

You may also be entitled to punitive damages, which are awarded in cases where the at fault party’s behavior was particularly reckless or negligent.
