Ventura Personal Injury Lawyer

Almost every accident that results in a serious injury can be traced directly back to at least one specific person’s misconduct. If you can do this after a car wreck, slip and fall, malfunction in a consumer product, or any other situation that leads to you suffering physical harm, you could demand civil compensation from anyone whose reckless or careless actions contributed to causing your accident.

As many people unfortunately learn, getting a favorable outcome from a personal injury lawsuit can be difficult without the support of an experienced attorney. With our knowledgeable Ventura personal injury lawyers on your side, you will be able to more completely understand and effectively enforce your rights under civil law. Levin & Nalbandyan is ready to support your claim for compensation.

What Makes Someone Else Legally Liable for an Injury?

Most of the time, personal injury lawsuits are based on the legal theory of negligence, which allows an injured person to sue for damages if all the following conditions are met:

  • The defendant owed the injured person a duty of care requiring them to act responsibly under certain circumstances
  • The defendant breached their duty through a specific reckless, careless, or illegal act
  • The act in question was the main and direct cause of the accident
  • The accident resulted in at least one physical injury serious enough to require professional medical care

For example, a driver who causes a traffic crash by breaking a traffic law would be considered negligent because the accident only happened after they failed in their duty to act lawfully and carefully behind the wheel.

In other situations, a person or company may be strictly liable for injuries that occur under specific circumstances—for example, if someone gets hurt by an undisclosed defect in a product they bought. Our Ventura personal injury attorneys can explain these theories and how they might impact a particular claim in more detail during a private consultation.

Recovering for All Available Damages

Someone found liable for a personal injury can be made to pay for all economic and non-economic losses an injury will directly result in. Economic losses are those with objective financial values like medical bills and missed work income, while non-economic losses are those with purely subjective values like physical pain and mental anguish.

It is possible to recover in advance for damages an injury will cause a person to experience years or even decades into the future. Guidance from our knowledgeable lawyers can be vital to identifying, accurately valuing, and proactively demanding restitution for all your damages stemming from a personal injury in Ventura.

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.

What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.

In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity.

If you’ve suffered injuries from an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should act quickly to ensure you are able to recover compensation for your losses.

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.

On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.
