Frequently Asked Questions You May Have

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
