Los Angeles Car Accident Attorney

Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyers

If another person's actions or failure to act have hurt you, you can protect yourself by pursuing a personal injury claim. There are three reasons why you should pursue this:

You can find out why you were harmed...
You can hold wrongdoers accountable for what they have done...
You can obtain compensation for the losses you have suffered.

At Triphon Injury Law, we know you may be facing the legal process for the first time. So, we want to explain the following aspects of pursuing a personal injury claim in Los Angeles.

You Will Need To Establish Fault

To prevail in your personal injury action, you will need to establish that one or more parties are "at fault." In other words, you must show that the other party committed some wrongful act that led to your injuries and losses.

There are many ways this fault can arise. They include:

Intentional acts - These are acts that were done with the intent to harm you. A physical or sexual assault is a type of intentional misconduct. Road rage is another example.
Negligent acts - If a party acts carelessly or fails to act, and you suffer harm as a result, this is a type of negligent misconduct. For instance, many auto accidents result from negligence such as speeding, following too closely or running through an intersection. Doctors, nursing homes, property owners and dog owners can also be negligent.
Reckless acts - When a party acts with total disregard for your safety or the safety of others, this is a type of reckless misconduct. For instance, drunk driving or texting while driving could be considered recklessness.

In some cases, violation of a federal, state or local law may serve as grounds for fault. An example would be a violation of a local leash law that results in a dog bite.

Recovering Compensation

A personal injury claim can lead to the recovery of all economic and non-economic losses you have suffered. In the majority of cases, this means that you may turn to the "at-fault" party or parties' insurance coverage to pay for your damages. For instance, you may seek to recover compensation through the "at-fault" party's homeowner's insurance or auto insurance policy.

The types of damages you may seek include:

Property losses
Medical costs
Lost income
Pain and suffering
Punitive damages.

Many factors will impact the amount of your recovery. These factors include the type of misconduct involved in your case, the extent of your injuries and the amount of available insurance coverage.
