Pasadena Personal Injury Lawyer

Most people can be trusted to act responsibly and safely while around others. Unfortunately, it only takes one reckless or careless act by a single negligent person to cause an accident that could have life-altering or even life-threatening repercussions.

If you were recently hurt because of someone else’s negligence, you may have grounds to seek civil recovery from the responsible party. Our Pasadena personal injury lawyer could help you pursue the compensation you need to heal and move forward with your life. At Levin & Nalbandyan Trial Lawyers, we have years of experience helping accident victims, and our attorneys could work tirelessly on your behalf to ensure your lawsuit or settlement demand proceeds as efficiently as possible.

Possible Grounds for a Personal Injury Lawsuit

While there are some situations in which a person—or, more often, a company or corporation—holds strict liability for another person’s injuries, most personal injury lawsuits center around the legal theory of negligence. One person owes a duty of care to other people in various circumstances, and anyone who violates such a duty in a way that directly causes an otherwise avoidable accident may be held financially accountable for the resulting injuries and losses.

This is the basic legal principle underpinning everything from settlement demands after auto wrecks to lawsuits over accidental falls on private property. It also applies to more complex litigation, such as lawsuits over professional misconduct by healthcare providers. In all of these scenarios and more, our personal injury attorneys in Pasadena could provide the custom-tailored legal guidance you need to construct and present the strongest possible civil claim.

Costs of short-term and long-term medical care, including future rehabilitative treatments
Disability-related expenses for items such as wheelchairs and home modifications, if needed
Lost earning capacity and short-term work income
Physical pain and suffering from injuries
Psychological trauma from your injuries and the accident itself
Lost overall enjoyment of life

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.

Notifying Insurance Companies

You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages.
