What if you have an injury that increased the likelihood of the accident?

There can also be a case where you have an injury that caused the likelihood of the accident to increase like poor vision or an injured knee. How would you consider falling down on a broken stair? Are you still entitled to get compensation even if someone who had perfect eyesight or someone stronger wouldn’t have fallen? Absolutely. Remember that everyone, despite physical health or ability, has a legal right to live in this world without unnecessary risk. Owners or occupants of a property should not put anything that can cause unnecessary risk to any person. This also applies to everyone else. Nobody should create unnecessary danger for any person they come across.

What if you’re found negligent in an accident?

An accident lawyer in Long Beach may describe you as negligent if you have a responsibility to act carefully but you fail to do so. For instance, wearing sunglasses at night while driving is already considered negligent because you know that this would increase the chances of an accident happening. For most kinds of accidents, the court should find you negligent before you can be legally held responsible for the injuries of another person. When the negligent behavior of people causes harm to others, the latter would most likely obtain compensation for their injuries.

What if an accident was partly your fault?

What happens if you were partly responsible for the accident? Even if this were the case, you can still obtain damages from another person who is partly at fault because of negligence. An accident lawyer from Long Beach can determine the amount of the other person’s responsibility by comparing their carelessness with yours. For instance, the lawyer determined that you were only 35% responsible and the other person was 65% responsible. In this case, the other person should pay 65% as compensation for the injuries you sustained. In law, we call this rule “comparative negligence.”

I have nothing but great feedback for Mr. Hamideh, I was referred by a close friend and I was guaranteed amazing service. I was very pleased with this lawyer as well as his friendly and professional staff. They went above and beyond to help me understand my case and kept me informed throughout the entire process. He kept me informed of the status of my case. His paralegal Maricela was such a great help they were both always in communications with me. Mr. Hamideh made this a very easy process for me. I would definitely be using Hamideh law in the near future and I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking legal help. He is an exceptional lawyer.

So I was referred to Belal Hamideh Law by a family member. I was a bit skeptical at first because of how young he looked, but wow he exceeded my expectations. I had a tricky personal injury case and he went above and beyond. He managed to get all of my medical bills covered and there was still a large amount of cash that was leftover even after his fees were taken. Extremely professional and makes you feel like your case is the most important case to him! Very kind and personable, I would definitely recommend him to all of my friends and family!

I had a workers compensation case. It was a very tough case. No lawyer except Belal Hamideh was willing to help. He was very helpful and friendly from beginning to end. Just settled my case today for a great amount. Highly recommend to anyone who needs help and attention from a lawyer. He never rushed me and never charged me extra for attention. He just took a small fee from the settlement.

YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, WE HAVE ANSWERS

Q

Can I Sue my Employer for Firing Me for No Reason?

Yes. If you believe that your employer fired you for an illegal reason, you may have the right to sue. An “illegal reason” could include firing you due to retaliation, your gender, your race, your religion, a disability you might have, and other reasons. If this happens, reaching out to an attorney is your best course of action. Additionally, you’ll want to send documents as well as emails to yourself, take the best notes you can about the specifics of your case, and potentially even reach out to coworkers to see if they have had similar experiences and/or were willing to talk.

Q

What Should I Do If I Was Injured in a Car Accident?

Make sure that you and anyone else in your vehicle are out of harm’s way. Then, if you’re able to, call the police and the paramedics. They will calm the scene down, evaluate you, and generate police reports. Should you be able, get the information of other drivers involved in the accident. Take pictures and even video with your phone of the damage, road conditions, and more. The more documentation you have relating to the car accident, the better. Talking to witnesses can help as well. Once you take these first steps, we invite you to call our office to see if we can further help your situation.

Q

Can I Sue for a Personal Injury?

Yes. If you believe that another party (someone else) caused your injuries or outside factors contributed to your accident and injury, then you very well might have a case. With many vehicular accidents and the like, liability is shared by multiple parties. If you’re injured in an accident, an attorney can collect evidence and then use it to make your personal injury case.

Q

What Should I Do If I Was Injured at Work?

First, make sure you’re out of harm’s way. Report your injury to your employer. Do this as soon as you can. In California, you can receive compensation for injuries suffered while in the course of doing your job. So, you have a right to file a workers’ compensation claim. Additionally, you have the right to see a doctor, pursue medical treatment, and, if you’re unable to work (or to work the same job that you had) you have the right to a form of disability compensation. A workers’ compensation attorney can help you throughout your case, even if your claim is rejected. Our office handles workers compensation cases and can provide you with a free consultation about the case.

Q

I’m an Immigrant. What are My Rights if I Get Hurt?

Whether you’re an immigrant who has been properly documented or otherwise, you have the same right as any other citizen of the United States in terms of suing or making a claim to recover damages for injuries sustained through an accident caused by the negligence and/or recklessness of another party.

Q

Can I Claim Damages as a Passenger in an Accident?

Yes. The driver of a vehicle has a “duty of care” to their passengers. This means they have an obligation to be as safe and careful as possible while driving. Indeed, this extends out to the operators of planes, boats, motorcycles, trucks, buses, and more. In fact, passengers rarely are at fault for road traffic accidents. Thus, if you’re injured as a passenger in a vehicular accident, you are most likely entitled to recover the full amount of your damages.
