Bay Area Personal Injury Lawyer

Being injured by someone else’s negligence – in any kind of accident – is difficult. You not only face mounting medical bills but are also likely to face lost earnings. On top of these hardships, it’s only natural to be dazed by the accident and unsure of how best to proceed. While you take care of your physical and emotional health and well-being, allow an experienced Bay Area personal injury lawyer to effectively and efficiently handle your personal injury claim. 

Your Accident

Personal injury cases can stem from just about any kind of accident, but some of the most common include:

• Traffic Accidents, such as car, bus, truck, motorcycle, bike, scooter, and pedestrian accidents
• Uber and Other Rideshare Accidents
• Boating Accidents
• Cable Car Accidents
• Accidents Caused by Faulty Highway Design
• Train Accidents

Whatever type of accident leaves you injured, you need a dedicated personal injury lawyer on your side. 

Your Damages

You’ve been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, and you’re likely facing serious damages that can include:

• Medical Expenses – Your medical costs can range from emergency medical care at the scene of the accident through surgery and hospitalization and far beyond.
• Lost Wages – If your injuries are serious, you’re likely to need time off from your job, and if they’re very serious, you could be looking at lost earnings into the future and even at a career derailment. 
• Pain and Suffering – The physical and emotional pain and suffering associated with an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence can be overwhelming and a significant hurdle to overcome. 

Obtaining compensation that addresses all of your damages is essential to your ability to heal completely.

The Insurance Company

After being injured by someone else’s negligence, you’re going to be dealing with the at-fault party’s insurance company. However, because the insurance company is motivated by profits – and not by your health and well-being – you are well-advised to allow your dedicated personal injury attorney to negotiate with the insurance rep on your behalf. Insurance companies are known to prey on the vulnerability of their claimants in all of the following ways:

• Offering early settlements in the hope that claimants won’t fully comprehend the complexity and seriousness of their injuries.
• Delaying the insurance process in an attempt to frustrate claimants into giving up completely or to simply settling for less
• Making the insurance process so complicated and convoluted that claimants lose their way.

Your dedicated personal injury attorney will skillfully guide your claim toward a resolution that works for you.
