Common Types of Personal Injury Cases

The field of personal injury law enables victims who are injured by the wrongdoing of another person or entity to recover financial compensation for their damages. There is a long list of different types of personal injuries that our attorneys at Salamati Law have gained experience handling, including the following:

This is only a partial list of the types of personal injury matters that Salamati Law can handle. If you have suffered an injury in any type of accident in Southern California that was caused by someone else’s negligence, contact our firm to speak with an injury lawyer in Long Beach about your right and opportunity to recover compensation for your losses.

What to Do if You’ve Been Injured in Long Beach

The negative repercussions that accompany serious personal injuries can be overwhelming. Medical bills may be piling up. You may also lose your income because you are unable to return to work. Further, your relationships at home may all be suffering due to the physical, emotional, and financial trauma that you are experiencing.

Even if the immediate effects of the accident seem minor, over the long run, injuries can worsen and the resulting costs and expenses can multiply.

Consulting with an experienced personal injury lawyer in Long Beach, CA, is a crucial first step to recovering damages to offset your losses. Our attorneys at Salamati Law strongly urge you to schedule a consultation as soon as possible.  We will provide you with valuable information about your legal rights, an approximate amount of damages that may apply to your claim, and the strengths and weaknesses of your case, all at no cost to you.

When you hire us, an attorney from our firm will immediately become a zealous advocate for you, lighten your load, and enable you to focus on the physical, emotional, and financial healing process.

How Much Compensation Is Available in a Long Beach Personal Injury Case?

Persons who are injured in an accident in California can recover economic and non-economic damages from a negligent party.

  • Economic damages are for hard costs and expenses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and expenses associated with going to and from appointments with physicians and therapists.
  • Non-economic damages compensate injured parties for their pain and suffering and other causes that are not reflected on invoices or receipts.

Your chances of recovering the full amount of damages you are entitled to increase significantly when you are represented by a skilled and experienced lawyer. Salamati Law will track down all available evidence and testimony to demonstrate the full extent of your losses.

The Insurance Company Will Try to Minimize Your Financial Recovery

If you don’t hire the right Long Beach personal injury attorney, you may significantly limit the amount of financial compensation you can secure. The defendant’s insurance company is in the business of minimizing your financial recovery. They are fully aware of the physical, emotional, and financial stress that you are experiencing, and will opportunistically attempt to convince you to settle your claim for a fraction of what it is worth.

If you take on an insurance company on your own, you may end up accepting a lowball offer and missing out on a significant amount of compensation.

Insurance companies have teams of lawyers that handle thousands of injury claims every year. They know what motivates an injured accident victim and do everything they can to take advantage of your situation. When you hire a personal injury attorney from Salamati Law, you will level the playing field in negotiations with the insurers.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer in Long Beach, CA, Can Do for You

Once you accept a settlement offer from an insurance company, you will give up your right to recover a larger damages award. Our lawyers appreciate how enticing even a small immediate lump sum payment might appear when you are facing mounting pressure to pay your bills, but we also know how much more you are entitled to recover.

When you hire an experienced Long Beach injury attorney from Salamati Law, the insurance company will know you will not settle for its lowball offer and that you and your legal team are fully prepared to take your case to trial. As a result, the insurance company will begin extending much fairer settlement offers your way.

Our lawyers handle all communications with the insurance company on your behalf. Often, an insurance adjuster will want to talk to an injured accident victim directly to force an admission that their injuries are not bad or to convince the victim that they are to blame for the accident. When you retain a lawyer, the insurer can no longer contact you directly. Your lawyer will protect you from predatory insurance adjusters and attorneys for the defendant who do not have your best interests at heart.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in California?

In California, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. In cases where the injury is not immediately apparent, you generally have one year from the time the injury is discovered in which to sue for damages. There are exceptions to these rules regarding the statute of limitations, so it’s imperative to consult with a Long Beach personal injury lawyer to determine which deadlines apply in your situation.

Local Courthouse Information

If you decide to file a personal injury lawsuit, then any official court proceedings will take place at the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse, which is located at the following address:

275 Magnolia
Long Beach, CA 90802
Phone: (562) 256-3100

Our Results Speak for Themselves

Since 1995, our attorneys at Salamati Law have been fighting to achieve justice and recover maximum financial compensation for our injured clients in and around Los Angeles. For example, we represented a motorcyclist who suffered a mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in a bike crash. We established that he had suffered a significant impairment in his life and secured a $2 million settlement on his behalf.

In another recent case, we recovered nearly $1.2 million for a client who suffered serious internal injuries and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in a collision with a truck.

While past results do not guarantee future outcomes, and the unique circumstances of your case will determine the amount of damages you are entitled to receive, you can count on Salamati Law to fight for maximum compensation and never settle for less than you are owed.
