Sycamore Accident Lawyers

When it comes to unforeseen auto accidents, the best time to hire a Riverside accident attorney is as soon as possible. Some factors supporting this recommendation are based on the statute of limitations, available evidence, and insurance companies.

By California law, the state's statute of limitation only permits a personal injury claim to be filed within two years, starting from the accident date. However, the statute can be significantly reduced depending on who was involved. It is improbable that a victim will be permitted to file a Riverside personal injury claim once the deadline has passed.

Evidence is another vital component to consider. From serious injuries to witnesses to debris at the accident scene, every piece of evidence will be crucial in proving liability. The longer someone waits to work with a personal injury lawyer, the more likely it will be that this valuable evidence becomes unavailable.

The other party's insurance company will also be adamant about settling the personal injury claim as soon as possible. This is not because they care about victims' well-being. Instead, it is to reach an agreement before the victim realizes how much their claim is worth. Once an offer is settled, you cannot change your mind and disagree with the terms.

Whether you plan to file a personal injury claim or not, consulting with an experienced personal injury attorney will protect you from insurance companies who may try to violate your rights.

Our law firm offers a free consultation to accident victims. If you are still determining what actions to take, please schedule a case evaluation with us as soon as possible.

If you have been involved in an accident, minor or not, it is always strongly advised that you seek medical attention and go to the emergency room. Some injuries are not always apparent, and sometimes, even a low-impact collision can cause catastrophic injuries. Only medical professionals can determine the true nature of someone’s injuries.

The most common injuries from personal injury accidents include:

• Broken bones
• Whiplash and neck injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Head injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Pierced organs
• Internal bleeding
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Severe Burns
• Amputation
• Wrongful death

To prevent severe injuries from growing more harmful or even fatal, ensure you are examined by a medical professional and follow the recommended treatment plan. If car accident injuries are not reported, the other party’s insurance can claim that your injuries were not serious or not caused by the accident.

There is no exact compensation amount, as every accident will vary. However, the worth of a motor vehicle accident will depend on damages. The more severe a crash is, the higher the case value. During your free consultation, our legal team can evaluate your car accident case and provide an estimate of how much your personal injury lawsuit is worth.
