Advantages of Working With a Los Angeles Car Accident Attorney
A successful car accident claim awards a plaintiff financial recovery to account for the losses that resulted from another negligent driver.
Unfortunately, collecting financial compensation is not a simple feat without the support and guidance of a legal ally, such as a Los Angeles car accident lawyer.
An insurance claims adjuster will make every effort to reduce a settlement or even reject a car accident claim entirely. Often successful with their efforts, insurers know that the average person is not familiar with personal injury law, and they capitalize on that.
At Angeleno Accident Lawyers, we put our client’s best interests first by assuming communication and negotiations with the other party’s insurance company. This prevents the possibility of being misled into accepting a less-than-fair settlement offer.
Additionally, our clients will not have to worry about the stresses that come with disputing with the insurance company. This allows them to focus on what matters most–healing from the accident.
Our experienced car accident lawyers have a proven track record of helping victims recover the compensation they are entitled to. This is accomplished by conducting a thorough investigation, compiling strong evidence, and proving liability to the other party.

Car Accident Laws in California
After a car crash in Los Angeles, consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
California auto collision laws are complex and follow tight deadlines. Car accident victims decrease their chances of recovering compensation the longer they let time go without filing a claim for their car accident. This is due to evidence no longer being available and paperwork filing periods being missed.
When it comes to California personal injury regulations, consider the following:
- Statute of Limitations - This law limits when one party can file a claim against another party. The California statute is two years and typically begins on the date the incident occurred. However, there are occasional exceptions.
- Liability - To be found liable is to be at fault for causing an accident. Sometimes, both parties are at fault. This is referred to as comparative negligence. Even if the plaintiff is partially liable, he or she is still eligible for compensation at a reduced amount.
- Proving Negligence - In order to prove negligence, it must be shown that the other driver acted recklessly and that reckless behavior led to damages suffered by the plaintiff.
Angeleno Accident Lawyers focuses solely on local Los Angeles car accidents. Due to heavy traffic congestion in the Southern California area and risky driving habits, the chances of automobile accidents remain high.
Our car accident attorneys are knowledgeable of California’s automobile-related laws.
Additionally, we are adamant about staying up to date with any regulatory changes or revisions that are made to both city and state laws.
Common Car Accident Injuries
Depending on the impact, the severity of a serious car accident can cause minor injuries to catastrophic injuries, and sometimes, even death.

Over the years, Angeleno Accident Lawyers has been successful in awarding clients compensation for the following types of injuries and outcomes:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Back and Neck Injuries
- Permanent Disabilities
- Scarring and Disfigurement
- Breaks and Fractures
- Soft-tissue Injuries
- Burns
- Amputation
- Wrongful Death
Those involved in minor collisions can also suffer an injury that evolves into long-term ailments and chronic impairments. Oftentimes, people involved in smaller accidents do not initially realize they are actually hurt until days or even weeks later once symptoms arise.
This is why it’s so important to be examined by a medical professional either at the scene of the accident or closely following the date of the incident. Additionally, a case will be more challenging to prove the longer victims put off seeing a doctor. It could be perceived that the plaintiff’s physical condition was not as severe as he or she is claiming it to be.
Car crashes are traumatic, which is why so many suffer emotional anguish. Therefore, nonphysical reactions, like psychological pain and suffering or post-traumatic stress, are also eligible for compensation.
Common Causes of Los Angeles Car Accidents
Every car crash is unique and can occur based on a number of factors.
Due to heavy traffic congestion in Los Angeles, these car accidents take place on a regular basis. These collisions can involve passenger vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, commercial trucks and delivery vehicles, rideshares (Uber and Lyft), and pedestrians.
At Angeleno Accident Lawyers, our auto accident lawyers have recovered fair and full compensation for injuries caused by:
- T-Bone/Side Collisions
- Driving Under the Influence
- Sideswiping
- Rear-end/Tailgating
- Vehicle Rollover
- Reckless Driving such as Speeding
- Distracted Driving
Hit-and-Run Crashes
A hit-and-run is any accident involving a motorist colliding with a person, object, or another vehicle and not stopping to provide his or her information afterward.
Navigating a hit-and-run case is difficult when the at-fault driver cannot be identified, but certain measures should still be taken for the best outcome possible.
First, report the accident to the police. This is an absolute must, so an investigation can be conducted. If the at-fault party can be located, then that driver will be held liable for the crash, and all legal proceedings can commence.
Even if the hit-and-run driver is not found, the police report can still be presented to the victim’s personal insurance and utilized when collecting compensation. Speaking with an insurance company representative will provide more insight into an individual’s policy and how much should be paid out based on the coverage agreement.
Uninsured motorist insurance should cover property damage and medical bills from the car accident. However, this type of coverage is not mandatory to have in California, so many do not register for uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance.
Our legal team at Angeleno Accident Lawyers can help negotiate with insurance providers to get people the fairest compensation available in a hit-and-run case.


Recoverable Damages in a Car Accident Claim
Anyone who is injured in a car accident is rightfully entitled to pursue financial compensation for losses in the form of damages.
Qualifying damages that can be recovered include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Property damage or replacement
- Physical and psychological pain and suffering
Personal injury claims vary from case to case. Therefore, a specific amount of how much a particular accident is worth will not always be the same across the board. After discussing a case in detail and reviewing the hard evidence, our Los Angeles car accident attorney can provide an estimation of how much a claim is worth.

Safety and Traffic Laws in California
Motoring laws and regulations vary in every state. This is why it’s so important to work with an experienced car accident attorney who is based in Los Angeles, CA.
Here’s an overview of the most relevant laws that apply in most car accident cases:
Reporting an Accident
Regardless of who is at fault, all involved parties are obligated to report the collision by calling 911. Most importantly, do not leave the accident scene before providing insurance and contact information. If the other individual(s) are injured, make sure to notify the authorities that medical attention is needed.
Car accidents must be reported to the DMV within 10 days. However, fatal accidents must be reported to the authorities within 24 hours. Failing to report the crash and leaving the scene can be viewed as a hit-and-run, which is a criminal offense and can result in jail time and expensive fines.
Auto Insurance
After an accident, victims should notify their personal car insurance company. However, they are not obligated to speak to the other party’s insurer. The only details that need to be provided are personal information like a name, contact number, address, and insurance details. When speaking to insurance adjusters, be very careful about what is said and absolutely never admit fault.
Uninsured Motorist
Although auto insurance is mandatory to have in California, many motorists are not insured. As a result, compensation cannot be collected from the liable party. However, a personal injury lawsuit can be filed against the defendant to recover damages.
Additionally, victims who purchased uninsured motorist (UM) or underinsured motorist (UIM) insurance will be covered by their personal auto insurance provider. This also applies to hit-and-run accidents where a driver illegally flees the scene and cannot be identified.

Janet Krup
I absolutely adore this law firm! When researching lawyers in my area I felt like most of them weren’t truly invested in my case. They kept giving me what felt like very generic and robotic responses. But my lawyer at AAL took the time to give me honest advice about my car accident with realistic expectations of a settlement. I can honestly say that I was very satisfied with my experience.
Zoey de la Rosa
I had a wonderful experience with Angeleno Accident Lawyers. They took care of my medical bills, doctors appointments, and dealt with my insurance company. It was a relief having them taking care of everything because I quite honestly wasn't in the right state of mind to worry about anything else but my pain.

Caring, hard working and VERY helpful! I had a good experience working with Angeleno Accident Lawyers for my accident. Thank you for taking the time to work on my case! I had never been in a motorcycle accident before, so I had no idea what I could do about my expenses. After being referred to this law firm, all of my questions were answered. My case was handled efficiently, and my payout was much more than I was expecting.
Steve Patterson
Unfortunately I have had a few accidents in my day so I’ve worked with my fair share of lawyers. Hands down Angeleno Accident Lawyers has been one of the most professional firms to work with. They helped me schedule appointments with my doctor, deal with insurance, and even helped me find a mechanic to fix my car. I would certainly recommend them.
