Car Accident Lawyer in Los Banos, Antioch, Watsonville & San Leandro
When you get into a vehicle at some point during the day you never imagine ending up in an accident before you get home. Unfortunately, it happens more than you realize. If you have been injured in an automobile accident recently, you are eligible to some compensation for your injuries, property damage, and even your loss of income. Why would you need to consider a personal injury claim? If your injuries have occurred due to someone acting in a careless, negligent, or reckless manner, you are entitled to compensation.
Reasons For Auto Accidents
We know that there may be many reasons why a motor vehicle accident occurs. However, the common factor is that it occurs due to negligence. When a driver is considered to be at-fault, they will most likely be charged with negligence and that simply means that they are acknowledged as the individual responsible for causing an injury or damage to any individual, due to their actions.
Negligence could mean:
- Speeding
- DUI of drugs/alcohol
- Not stopping for pedestrians
- Driving without lights on at night
- Running a traffic signal/stop sign
- Distracted while driving because they were talking on the phone or texting
When you have been a victim of an accident due to carelessness of someone else, you need to contact Braff Law and talk to one of our experienced lawyers so we can get started on your case. Although most of these cases are settled out of court yet if the insurance company is pressurizing you to accept a low settlement offer, we can aggressively litigate it in the courtroom to ensure you get the deserved amount as compensation.
Compensation in Auto Accident Claims
In terms of what qualifies as damages in a motor vehicle accident claim includes:
- Attendant care
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation expense
- Loss of companionship
- Hospital and medical expenses
- Loss of wages past as well as future
