Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Law and Lawsuits

    • Do I need a lawyer? Why don’t I just contact the defendants and work it out with their insurance company?
It is usually both impossible and inadvisable to try to resolve an accident case involving catastrophic injuries or a death on your own. The accident may involve multiple parties and complex questions concerning what happened, who was legally responsible, and how the matter should be resolved. Not only legal experts (attorneys), but also medical and accident reconstruction specialists working on your behalf, are critical to properly evaluate the case and advise you of your rights. Without these experts, you may never know what really happened, or the true value of your case.

It is important to understand that corporations and their insurers employ the services of expert lawyers that seek to avoid responsibility or at least to minimize the payments that will be made to the victims and families. In contrast, our duty is to identify all responsible parties and maximize the compensation that can be obtained. Only established firms like Lieff Cabraser have the staying power to investigate these complex cases thoroughly, and to send a message to the defendants that they will not be able to hide their misconduct from you.

A catastrophic injury or the loss of a loved one is terrible and can be overwhelming, especially when the injury or death may have been caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another. We hope the preceding information will be of assistance. We encourage you to contact our attorneys for more answers to your specific questions without charge or obligation.
Again, for answers to more questions about personal injury law and lawsuits, please feel free to contact an attorney at Lieff Cabraser.
