Were you in an accident and State Farm is your insurance carrier? Have you been in an accident where the driver who hit you has State Farm for their insurance? Depending on which metric you go by, State Farm is the most popular insurance carrier in the state of California. Even the rankings that don’t have them in the top spot have them among the biggest. So, taking on State Farm in a case can be challenging indeed. Yet, Belal Hamideh, a car accident lawyer in California, and the rest of his team here can help you to recover the compensation you should receive.
When you’re hurt in an accident, it’s entirely possible that you’re eligible for compensation. The last thing you want to do is to take on an entity like State Farm by yourself, or, just as bad, to take their first, “lowball” offer. We can keep that from happening. Reach out to us today for a free case evaluation.
What to Do If You Have State Farm Insurance and You’re in an Accident
If State Farm is your insurer and you’re injured in an accident, you should contact State Farm within 24 hours. You can do so through their online service, through their app, or by calling (800) 732-5246.
When talking to State Farm, the best course of action is to be as straightforward as possible. Yes, they are your insurance carrier, but by that same token, you don’t want to say anything that could potentially jeopardize or harm your potential compensation. So, a good rule of thumb: just stick to the facts.
Don’t “guess,” don’t “estimate,” nor should you speculate about anything - just answer simply. Don’t feel, in the slightest, like you have to give any information that you weren’t expressly asked for. Of course, always be honest and upfront. That said, we strongly recommend never giving a recorded statement. Don’t sign anything, either. Not until you talk to an experienced attorney.
Some of this may feel a bit unpleasant but in the end, all you’re doing is protecting you and the people who count on you. Treating anyone from the insurance company in the same manner as you would the other driver in an accident, with cordial politeness, is the best course of action.
What to Do If the Other Driver is With State Farm
If the other driver has State Farm, we strongly recommend that you don’t speak to anyone from State Farm who reaches out to you. The truth is, unfortunately, that this adjuster isn’t looking out for your best interests. Rather, they’re looking out for State Farm’s (as well as for the other party, whom they represent).
See, once the accident has occurred and the other driver (who may have injured you in the accident) reaches out to State Farm, State Farm is going to conduct an investigation to find out what happened. Of course, this investigation is always most likely to be tilted towards proving that it wasn't the fault of their driver, it was your fault. Or, alternatively, they could try to prove that the accident was the fault of some other party who is also not the other driver.
Why? Because State Farm doesn’t want to have to provide you with appropriate compensation, especially if they don’t have to. Thus, they’re going to do everything in their power to keep that from happening. State Farm, of course, by virtue of having been around for decades and growing into a global brand, has plenty of power indeed.
This is one more area that an experienced attorney can help. Belal Hamideh can take your case and stand up to State Farm on your behalf. Through the most aggressive representation possible, Belal can help you to recover the maximum compensation that you deserve, regardless of what State Farm does.
What to Do If the Other Driver Isn’t Insured
Despite the law requiring every driver to have insurance, unfortunately, some drivers still get on the road without being insured. When you’re hit by one of these drivers, it can be particularly frustrating. That said, if you’re like a strong majority of California drivers, you most likely have uninsured as well as underinsured driver insurance.
So, when you’re injured in an accident by one of these drivers, what you’re going to want to do is to file a claim with your insurance company. If it’s State Farm, you can reach them, again, through their online service, through their app, or by calling (800) 732-5246.
However, you may find, in this specific scenario, that State Farm may make it a bit difficult for you to receive your compensation. That’s because, when the other driver doesn't have insurance/enough insurance, your compensation won’t come from some other insurance company, it’ll have to come from State Farm.
We can help here, too. If State Farm is “dragging their feet,” so to speak, or they even reject your claim, we very well may be able to assist you. Should either of those happen to you, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free case evaluation.
How Car Accident Lawyer in California Belal Hamideh Can Help You
State Farm, as you might imagine, has the absolute best resources at their disposal. They can put together a team of attorneys, a team of investigators, and so much more. All of this can be weaponized to help them to keep you from getting the compensation you deserve (or, honestly, any compensation at all).
We can keep that from happening. Belal and the team here have helped so many people who are in the same position that you are right now: recovering after being injured in an accident. You have so much “on your plate right now,” so to speak. Thus, by having experienced attorneys on your case, you can focus on what’s most important: your recovery.
When you’re ready, we encourage you to contact us for a free case evaluation. We very well may be able to help you recover everything you deserve. To schedule this, you can message us through our site or call.

Do you have AAA insurance and were recently in an accident? AAA is one of the largest insurers in California and really anywhere else. Between their insurance and their roadside assistance, they have provided services to drivers over many years. However, if you are injured in an accident, whether they’re your insurance provider or the insurance provider of the party that struck you, you deserve to have someone on your side, fighting for you. Belal Hamideh, a car accident attorney in California, can be exactly that.
If the other side has AAA, know that they are a formidable opponent, with the best in resources, attorneys, and more, all at their disposal to keep you from receiving the compensation you should receive. Belal Hamideh and the rest of the team here offer free case evaluations. During this, we’ll discuss your case, your situation, and how we may be able to help you.
Contact AAA After an Accident if They’re Your Insurance Provider
If you are in an accident and have AAA insurance, contact them within 24 hours of your accident. You can do so through their online service, app, or by calling (800) 922-8228. However, they are not the first party you should contact after an accident.
Contacting law enforcement and getting medical attention should be your top two priorities in the wake of an accident. The former can provide you with a police report which will be very helpful to your case. The latter can examine comprehensively, determining the extent to which you were injured and how you can best be treated. Hopefully, you suffered no injuries whatsoever, but, if you did, medical professionals can find injuries (such as internal ones and others) that may not have revealed themselves until much later.
While at the accident scene, be sure to get the other party’s name, phone number, insurance provider, insurance number, license plate, and so forth. This conversation should be cordial but it should also be “to the point” so to speak. There is nothing to be gained by speculating, guessing, and so forth. Never say something that could be taken as an admission of fault, even backhandedly.
Once you have done all of the above, then contact your insurance provider (in this case, AAA). You can contact us as well as for a free case evaluation so that we can see exactly how we can help you to recover maximum compensation.
What to Say When Talking to AAA Insurance If They’re Your Provider
When you’re talking to someone at AAA, you want to be direct and “to the point” here as well. Stick to the facts of what happened with your accident. Just as when you were talking to the other party involved in the crash, there is no need to speculate, to guess, to estimate, or anything of that nature. Those words can only weaken your case. Tell them what happened and only what happened.
It is unlikely but they very well may ask you for a recorded statement. We do not recommend providing one unless it is absolutely necessary. Again, there is nothing to be gained here for you, the injured party. This is one more reason that we encourage those injured in an accident to reach out to us. When we take your case, we can deal with the insurance companies on your behalf. As such, once you’ve completed medical treatment, we can and will provide all pertinent injury and accident information in the settlement demand.
What to Do If AAA is the Other Driver’s Insurance Provider
Never, under any circumstances, provide a recorded statement to the other party’s insurance company. As you contact your insurance company after the accident, you can rest assured that the other party, the one that very well may be at fault (or more at fault) for your accident, has done so as well.
If their insurance provider is AAA, then you know that AAA is at work investigating your claim, determining what really happened and how they can best help the other party, the person that they insure. That’s their priority. Not you. In fact, their best-case scenario is to prove that you (or any party other than the person they insure) are responsible for your accident and your injuries. That way, they don’t have to pay the compensation they should or even any compensation at all.
Our goal, then, is to keep that from happening. We represent our clients against the insurance companies. It’s our job to help them to recover as much compensation as possible. As we don’t get paid unless we win for our clients, we have every incentive in the world to represent them as aggressively as possible.
What to Do If the Other Driver Doesn’t Have Enough Insurance or Any
Despite the law in California being that you cannot legally drive your vehicle on the road without insurance, people still do it. Unfortunately, when they’re in accidents, it can cause a real conundrum. That said, if you’re injured in an accident involving an uninsured or underinsured driver, you can still recover compensation.
The difference in this from a case where you’re hurt by an insured driver is that your compensation will come from your insurance company (and not that of the party who hit you/was responsible for the accident). So, if you’re injured in an accident like this, you should contact your insurance company which, in this case, is AAA. Many drivers have uninsured and/or underinsured driver protection.
That said, in this scenario, AAA may make it difficult for you to receive the compensation that you deserve. They don't want to have to pay, particularly if they feel like they can find a way out of it. Here, too, we can help. Should AAA prolong the process, deny your claim, or do anything else to keep you from the compensation you deserve, we very well may be able to help.
Experienced Car Accident Attorney in California to Fight for You
It’s natural to feel alone, like you’re on your own after you’re injured in an accident, even if you’re surrounded by those who lovingly support you. This feeling can be exacerbated when you’re going up against an enormous insurance company such as AAA. Belal and the rest of the team here can help.
Following a free case evaluation, we can take your case and immediately get right to work putting together the best, most compelling case on your behalf. From there, we can represent you as aggressively as possible, negotiating with AAA on your behalf to get you your maximum compensation. Most cases are settled through negotiation but, if we have to take them to court, we’re more than happy to do that for our clients.
For a free case evaluation, message us through our site or give us a call.

Were you recently injured in a vehicular accident? Is Farmers Insurance your carrier? Then, the best course of action is to notify them within a 24-hour period. There are right ways and wrong ways to convey the information to them. As an auto accident injury lawyer in California, Belal Hamideh and the team here have assisted many in receiving the maximum compensation for the injuries that they suffered in an accident. Now, we very well may be able to do the same for you.
We understand that, in the wake of an accident, the last thing you may want to do is spend more time reaching out to lawyers, dealing with insurance companies, etc. However, we can also make the entire process that much easier, handling insurance companies on your behalf and helping you to acquire maximum compensation. If there is even a minimal chance that you were injured in a vehicular accident that could have been caused by the recklessness and/or negligence of another party, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free case evaluation.
What to Do in the Moments Following an Accident
Right after an accident, the first step is to assess your injuries and remain calm. That may be difficult or even impossible, but if you can slow your breathing, you may be able to calm your body down somewhat. To the extent that is necessary and you are able, remove yourself from harm’s way.
Call law enforcement. They can arrive and assist with the situation. They will create a police report, at the bare minimum, which can be used to ultimately strengthen your case.
Make sure to get medical attention. Even if you seem unharmed, even if it appears that you didn’t suffer any injuries, you want to be examined by an experienced medical professional. That way, they can discover if there’s any internal injuries that you’re unaware of, and so forth.
Collect information from other drivers. Their name, their contact information, their insurance, their insurance number, license plate, and so forth. When speaking to them, be polite and cordial yet direct. Do not say anything that could be taken, in any way, to mean that you’re accepting fault for the accident. If you’re able, document the scene as well: take pictures of any damage with your phone, etc.
Once you’ve done all of the above, contact Belal. He and the rest of the team here can represent you as aggressively as possible through every step of the case.
If You Have Farmers and Are in an Accident
After an accident, if Farmers Insurance is your carrier, then you should contact them within 24 hours of the accident. You can do so through their site, through their app, or by calling (800) 515-7406.
When you’re speaking to someone from Farmers Insurance, even if they’re your insurance provider, you want to maintain that same polite, cordial, and direct tone that you did with the other person involved in the accident.
Only tell them the truth about what happened, the facts of the case. “Just the facts” is a good rule to follow. Do not speculate, don’t “guess,” don’t “estimate,” or anything of that nature. Merely tell them exactly what occurred and then end the call.
If they prod you for a recorded statement, you may consider giving one. However, Belal strongly recommends that no one injured in an accident ever do that, as it could potentially weaken your eventual case. In fact, it’s preferable for Belal to simply put all of the necessary injury and accident information in the settlement demand once you’ve gone through medical treatment.
If The Other Driver Has Farmers and You’re Hurt in an Accident
First, in the event that you’re injured in a vehicular accident and you believe there’s even a slight chance that the other driver may be at fault, we encourage you to contact us as soon as you can. That way, we can get started on your case as close as possible to the time when the other side has begun theirs.
See, after the accident, when you contact your insurance company, the other driver is going to contact theirs (which is Farmers in this example). At that moment, Farmers Insurance will launch their own investigation into your accident. This will not be an “objective” investigation, exactly, as Farmers Insurance has every incentive to prove that the accident was not their driver’s fault but yours, or at least the fault of some other party that isn’t their driver.
That’s because if the accident is the other driver’s fault, then Farmers Insurance is going to have to pay you. Farmers Insurance, of course, doesn’t want to do that. Thus, they’re incentivized to put their attorneys on the case, to “drag their feet” when it comes to you, to try to get you to accept the lowest offer, and so forth.
Belal, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. Belal has every incentive to help you to recover maximum compensation, as you don’t pay a dime unless Belal wins.
If the Other Driver Isn’t Insured or is Underinsured
While it’s against the law to drive in California without insurance, some still do it. Or, alternatively, they’re “underinsured,” which means that the damage from the accident may very well exceed their insurance limits. When you’re injured in an accident due to the recklessness and/or negligence of drivers like this, it can be challenging, but it can also have a positive resolution.
First off, many drivers have uninsured and/or underinsured motorist coverage. To claim these damages, you contact Farmers Insurance (so long as they’re your carrier), explain the situation, fill out a form, and so forth.
Unfortunately, you may find that, in this case, Farmers Insurance may deny your claim, they may try to keep from giving you compensation for those damages, and so forth. We may be able to help you here, too, taking your case and representing you as aggressively as possible.

Have you or someone that you love been injured in a vehicular accident recently? Do you get your car insurance from Liberty Mutual? For many reasons, they have been among the most popular insurance providers in Southern California for many years. If you were in a minor accident, if no one was injured, if it was a “fender bender,” then Liberty Mutual can help.
However, if you were injured in any way, if there was significant damage to your car, then Belal Hamideh, California car accident attorney, and the rest of his team here may be able to help.
When Liberty Mutual is your insurance provider (or any other insurance company) you might think that since you pay them, they’re always going to be on your side, looking out for you. Unfortunately, that may not be the case. Their goal is always to maximize their profits.
So, if you have a small accident with no injuries then they may be able to help. But, if there was significant damage and there’s any chance that you suffered an injury as a result of the accident, we strongly recommend you reach out to us for a free case evaluation to see how we can help you recover maximum compensation.
When You Should Contact Liberty Mutual After an Accident
Ideally, you’ll want to do so within 24 hours after the accident. If they’re your insurance provider, it behooves you to reach out to them sooner rather than later. However, they shouldn’t be the first party you contact immediately in the wake of an accident.
Indeed, the first course of action after an accident, while you’re still at the accident site, is to reach out to law enforcement. They can arrive at the scene and generate a police report which could prove to be a great boon to your eventual case.
By that same token, you should receive medical attention as well. Hopefully, neither you nor any other party was injured in the accident. However, by receiving medical care from professionals, you can be sure, receiving care if necessary. Often, the severity of a car accident injury isn’t known until long after the accident. By receiving care quickly, you have the best chance for the most successful recovery.
Once all of the above has been taken care of, then you can contact Liberty Mutual to discuss your claim.
What You Should Say When Talking to Someone from Liberty Mutual
To file a claim with Liberty Mutual, you can go through their site or their app (note the different QR codes for Android or iPhone). You can also call them at (800) 225-2467.
If you go the latter route and talk to someone from Liberty Mutual, even if they’re your insurance provider, be careful. The simpler you can keep your answers, the more you go with “just the facts,” the better off you’ll be. Yes, be truthful and honest, but never say anything that can sound like you’re admitting guilt (even if it’s to say that you’re “sorry,”) don’t give a recorded statement, and don’t sign anything until you’ve consulted with an attorney.
There’s no upside to doing any of that. Instead, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free case evaluation. We can help in a variety of ways. For example, instead of you having to give a recorded statement, we’ll provide all of the pertinent accident injury info in your settlement demand, just as soon as you complete any medical treatment.
You’re Injured in an Accident and the Other Party Has Liberty Mutual
If you were injured in a vehicular accident then it’s in your best interests to work with an experienced attorney who has taken on the big insurance companies before. If Liberty Mutual investigates the accident on behalf of the other driver, a member, they’re going to want to make it look like it’s not their fault (or at least not entirely their fault) so that you receive less compensation for your claim. Indeed, Liberty Mutual has multiple ways of doing this.
For starters, they could try to get you to accept a “lowball” offer, one that’s worth far less than what your claim is. They could try to get you to give a recorded statement in hopes that you’ll say or do something which could lessen what your claim would be worth. Indeed, those are just the beginning of what they can do. By having experienced attorneys on your side, you can keep that from happening.
See, when we take your case, we represent you as aggressively as possible. That means we’ll negotiate with the insurance company (Liberty Mutual in this case) on your behalf. So, you won’t have to worry about dealing with them, not anymore. Instead, we’ll do everything in our power to ensure that you receive maximum compensation for all that you’ve been through.
You’re Injured in an Accident and the Other Party is Uninsured
In the state of California, no driver can drive without car insurance. To do so is a violation of the law. Of course, drivers do it every day. When one of these drivers hits you, causing an injury, it can make a chaotic situation all that more confusing. Yes, most drivers often have underinsured and uninsured motorist protection. If you’re hit by an uninsured/underinsured driver, we encourage you to contact Liberty Mutual/your insurance provider.
That said, you may find that Liberty Mutual starts dragging out the process, slowing it down, or even rejecting your claim. Should any of that happen, here, too, Belal and the team can help. We can work with you to recover the compensation you deserve in this scenario as well so that you can receive economic (as well as any non-economic) damages for having been injured in an accident.

From the initial consultation through a successful resolution, we can be by your side, always guiding you towards the compensation that you deserve.

Were you or someone you love in a vehicular accident recently? Is Travelers your insurance carrier? For years, Travelers has been among the most popular California car insurance providers. If you were in an accident and have Travelers, you should file a claim with them.
However, there are some things that you should keep in mind when you do so. On top of that, if you were injured in an accident, having an attorney on your side can help in many ways. Belal Hamideh, a car accident attorney in California and the rest of his team here can work diligently so you can receive the compensation you deserve.
In the wake of an accident, it’s entirely understandable that you might just want to take the very first offer you receive, so that you can recover in peace. However, that offer is very likely to be far, far below what you should receive. If you schedule a free case evaluation with Belal and the team here, we can let you know what your claim is worth. Then, we can get right to work so that you receive it.
When Should You Contact Travelers Insurance After an Accident?
Your best bet is to file a claim with Travelers soon after the accident. You can do so through their site or by calling (800) 252-4633. You do have time to do this, but the sooner the better. Remember: in California, you have two years from the date of the accident itself to file a claim.
That having been said, there is no need to contact Travelers from the accident site itself. In fact, there are many others you should contact and actions you should take before you contact Travelers.
Specifically, you should contact law enforcement immediately. Let them know what happened, if anyone was injured, etc. They’ll create a police report which can help your case quite a bit. By that same token, be sure to receive medical attention, too. Yes, do so even if it seems that neither you nor anyone else was injured.
Hopefully, that is the case. However, it’s entirely possible that the extent and severity of any injuries (particularly internal ones) won’t be known until long after the accident, long after the shock wears off. Receiving medical care quickly can help with recovery in many ways.
Talk to the other party, too. You’re going to want to get information from them such as their name, their contact information, their insurance, insurance number, and so forth. This conversation can and should be polite and cordial. Don’t give any extraneous information, don’t speculate, and never say anything that could be construed as admitting fault to any degree whatsoever. After you’ve done all that, then you can contact Travelers.
What Should You Say When You Contact Travelers?
Most file their claims online. There, it’s easier to not provide extraneous information. If you do talk to someone from Travelers, however, stick to “just the facts.” There’s no need to say anything beyond the details, as none of that can help your case.
If they try to get you to give a prepared statement, you can politely decline. This can only hurt your case, making it less likely that you’ll receive the compensation that you deserve. If your case was a minor “fender bender,” if no one was hurt, and if your vehicle sustained only minimal damage at most, then you may not need an attorney.
However, if you did suffer any kind of injury, if your vehicle was damaged, then having an attorney can help your case in a variety of ways. Then, you should contact us for a free case evaluation. We’ll do everything in our power to make sure that you receive maximum compensation for everything that you’ve had to go through.
What if Travelers Contact You Because Someone Filed a Claim Against You?
It’s important to remember that the main goal of Travelers Insurance isn’t to pay you for your injuries/damages/etc., but to make money. They make money, in part, by not paying out for claims. Thus, they’re incentivized to not do so. So, when possible, they’re going to want to make it seem as if the other party is not responsible (or even not entirely responsible) for the accident. That way, they can lower your compensation.
They have other ways of doing this as well. They very well could, for example, try to get you to accept less than your claim is worth. By offering you a very low offer and hoping you’ll take it, by dragging out the process, by trying to “trip you up”-- they have many methods in their arsenal. These are all reasons to hire an experienced attorney.
When you’re represented by Belal Hamideh and the team here, you won’t have to deal with Travelers or any other insurance company on your side. Instead, they’ll have to deal with us. We have a proven track record of taking on the insurance companies for our clients and winning for them.
What Should You Do If the Other Driver Doesn’t Have Insurance?
California law is very clear: you can’t drive on the roads without car insurance. However, drivers do it every day. When one of these drivers injures you in an accident, it can make a confounding situation all that much more confounding. Many drivers have insurance coverage for when a driver is uninsured or even underinsured.
That said, in this case, Travelers may try to stretch the process out, they could try to give you the “runaround,” so to speak - they could even deny your claim. If you believe that’s happening (or there’s even a chance of that happening) reach out to us for a free case evaluation. We very well may be able to help.
Ways Belal Hamideh, Car Accident Attorney in California, Can Help
We get paid on contingency. That means that you don’t pay us out of your pocket, or even out of money that you have right now. We only get paid if we win. Of course, we win 99% of the time. So, our payment comes out of your eventual winnings. We have every incentive in the world to represent you as aggressively as can be, all toward helping you to recover all of the damages that you should, be they economic or non-economic.
If you believe there’s even the slightest chance that you have a case, it’s worth it to reach out to us. The worst that can happen is that we could tell you that you may not have the strongest case. However, so many of our clients have believed that only to sit down with us and discover that they had a very strong case, which we were able to guide them through from that evaluation through a successful resolution.

Were you or someone you love in an automobile accident and your insurance carrier is Allstate? If so, you should report the accident to Allstate, yes, but there are some pointers to keep in mind. If you were injured in the accident and/or if your vehicle sustained significant damage, then an experienced accident attorney could help you to recover the compensation that you deserve. Belal Hamideh is exactly that. He and the rest of the team here have a proven track record of helping folks who were injured in accidents to receive maximum compensation.
The slogan for Allstate is, of course, “You’re in good hands.” That may be true if no one involved in the accident sustained any injuries and/or each vehicle sustained minimal to no damage whatsoever. That said, if there’s even a slight chance that you may have been injured from an accident, you have nothing to lose from reaching out to us. We’ll schedule a free case evaluation with you and, during that, tell you exactly how we may be able to help.
When You Should Contact Allstate After an Accident
If you were in an accident and Allstate is your insurance carrier, you should contact them. In fact, you should reach out to them not long after the accident. A good rule of thumb is to do so within the first 24 hours after the accident. That way, you won’t forget.
There are multiple ways to reach out to Allstate. You can do so through their mobile app online through “My Account” by calling (800) 255-7828. We don’t recommend that you do this from the accident site.
Instead, when you’re still at the accident site, you should contact the authorities first. Law enforcement can secure the scene and, among other ways they can help, they’ll generate a police report. This report can prove to be very beneficial in your eventual case.
We cannot stress enough how important it is to receive professional medical attention as well. That’s true even if it doesn’t seem like you were injured. Hopefully, neither you nor anyone else was. However, some of the worst injuries don’t truly manifest or let their full extent and severity be known until long after the shock of the accident has worn off. Medical professionals can help you to recover that much more thoroughly and successfully the earlier they can examine and treat you.
It’s also imperative that you get certain information from the other party in the accident, the person who hit you. Get their name, their contact information, their license plate, their insurance information, and so forth. Best practice for talking to them: be polite. Be cordial. But, only say what’s necessary. Don’t say anything that could be taken or construed to be an admission of fault, even if it’s to say “I’m sorry” in passing.
Then, once you’ve done all of that, contact Allstate to inform them of your accident. Once that’s done, if you were injured or there was significant damage to your vehicle, reach out to us for a free case evaluation.
What Should You Tell Allstate About Your Accident
When you talk to someone from Allstate about the accident, they’re going to want all of that information that you got from the other party in the accident. Just as when you were talking to that person(s), when you’re talking to someone from Allstate, be polite, be cordial, but don’t give any extraneous information. Don’t say anything that you don’t need to.
Why? Because that could potentially harm your case, causing you to receive less compensation. Don’t give a recorded statement or anything of that ilk, not until you talk to us. Instead, when you complete medical treatment, we’ll send along all of the accident and injury information they need to know in the settlement demand.
Before you sign anything, we recommend that you talk to an experienced attorney. That way, you can know whether or not this is even a remotely good deal for you.
What You Should Do If The Person Who Caused the Accident Has Allstate
First, if you were injured in an accident, you should reach out to an attorney with experience in these kinds of cases. Since you were injured, you may be eligible for economic as well as non-economic damages. An attorney can help you to recover all of these.
If Allstate is the insurance carrier for the other driver, they’re going to conduct an investigation of the accident. But, this investigation is going to do anything it can to prove that the accident (as well as your injury) wasn’t really the fault of the driver with Allstate. Or, at the very least, not entirely their fault.
By doing so, Allstate hopes to reduce (or even eliminate) the compensation that you could receive. They could also try to do this by offering you a “lowball” deal, by trying to get you to give a recorded statement they could use against you, or many other practices. When you’re represented by Belal Hamideh, none of these tactics are your concern.
Instead, we can represent you as aggressively as possible against the insurance company. You don’t have to worry about them as we can take them on your behalf. Most of our cases are solved through negotiation but, if we have to go to court to represent our clients, we are always more than happy to do so.
The Person Who Caused the Accident Doesn’t Have Insurance: Best Practices
California laws could not be clearer about the fact that drivers who go out on the road without car insurance are in violation of the law. Yet, it happens every day. The aftermath of a car accident can be a confusing time, but it can be even more so if the other driver doesn’t have enough insurance or, alternatively, just doesn't have any insurance whatsoever.
Fortunately, many California drivers carry uninsured and/or underinsured motorist coverage. If you’re injured in an accident involving one of these drivers, you should file a claim with your insurance provider, be they Allstate or another.
However, you may find that Allstate drags out the process, they make the process more official than it should be, or just flat out rejects your claim. Should that happen to you, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free case evaluation. From there, we can look at your case and go over your options, to find the way that we can best help you.
Accident Attorney Belal Hamideh Can Help
No matter who your car insurance provider is, the period after a car accident can be a challenging time.

When you sign with us, we are by your side throughout the entire process, from the initial case evaluation through the successful completion of your case. We know that, for many, the last thing you want to do after an accident is to reach out to an attorney.

Instead, when you complete medical treatment, we’ll send along all of the accident and injury information they need to know in the settlement demand.
Before you sign anything, we recommend that you talk to an experienced attorney. That way, you can know whether or not this is even a remotely good deal for you.
What You Should Do If The Person Who Caused the Accident Has Allstate
First, if you were injured in an accident, you should reach out to an attorney with experience in these kinds of cases. Since you were injured, you may be eligible for economic as well as non-economic damages. An attorney can help you to recover all of these.
If Allstate is the insurance carrier for the other driver, they’re going to conduct an investigation of the accident. But, this investigation is going to do anything it can to prove that the accident (as well as your injury) wasn’t really the fault of the driver with Allstate. Or, at the very least, not entirely their fault.
By doing so, Allstate hopes to reduce (or even eliminate) the compensation that you could receive. They could also try to do this by offering you a “lowball” deal, by trying to get you to give a recorded statement they could use against you, or many other practices. When you’re represented by Belal Hamideh, none of these tactics are your concern.
Instead, we can represent you as aggressively as possible against the insurance company. You don’t have to worry about them as we can take them on your behalf. Most of our cases are solved through negotiation but, if we have to go to court to represent our clients, we are always more than happy to do so.
The Person Who Caused the Accident Doesn’t Have Insurance: Best Practices
California laws could not be clearer about the fact that drivers who go out on the road without car insurance are in violation of the law. Yet, it happens every day. The aftermath of a car accident can be a confusing time, but it can be even more so if the other driver doesn’t have enough insurance or, alternatively, just doesn't have any insurance whatsoever.
Fortunately, many California drivers carry uninsured and/or underinsured motorist coverage. If you’re injured in an accident involving one of these drivers, you should file a claim with your insurance provider, be they Allstate or another.
However, you may find that Allstate drags out the process, they make the process more official than it should be, or just flat out rejects your claim. Should that happen to you, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free case evaluation. From there, we can look at your case and go over your options, to find the way that we can best help you.
Accident Attorney Belal Hamideh Can Help
No matter who your car insurance provider is, the period after a car accident can be a challenging time.

That's not how it works with Belal Hamideh.
When you sign with us, we are by your side throughout the entire process, from the initial case evaluation through the successful completion of your case. We know that, for many, the last thing you want to do after an accident is to reach out to an attorney. To make it easier, you can schedule a free case evaluation to see how we can help either by calling us or going through our site
Were you hit and struck by a J. B. Hunt truck? Are you unsure what to do next? J. B. Hunt is one of the most popular shipping carriers in America. As of this writing, there are somewhere around 20,000 J. B. Hunt trucks throughout the country and every year that number goes up. If you were hit and injured in an accident involving one of these trucks, it’s natural to be unsure what to do next. Belal Hamideh, California truck accident lawyer, and the rest of the team here can help you to recover the maximum compensation you're owed for everything that you’ve been through.
Many who may have been injured in an accident are reticent about reaching out to an attorney. While this is understandable, we recommend that, if you believe there was even a slight chance that you were hurt in an accident involving a J. B. Hunt vehicle, you reach out to us for a free case evaluation. The worst-case scenario is that we tell you we believe you may not have the strongest case. However, it’s likely that we will take your case and help you to recover maximum compensation.
What to Know About J. B. Hunt
In the “Safety Policy Statement” on their site, J.B. Hunt says that this policy “originated from the company’s commitment to the well-being of its employees and the general public, as well as its desire to comply with all federal, state and local laws and safety regulations” and goes on to say that “the company strives to provide a safe working environment for its employees.”
That said, however, according to the “Federal Motor Carrier Administration,” as of this writing, J. B. Hunt has racked up 3,180 “Unsafe Driving Violations” as well as 3,001 “Driver Inspections with Unsafe Driving Violations.” Those numbers may very well change by the time that you read this.
Unfortunately, truck accidents can be even more devastating than those involving other vehicles. As the trucks that J. B. Hunt uses are large, often packed with cargo and traveling at high speeds, they can do significant, serious damage to small vehicles, drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike.
If you’ve been injured in an accident involving a truck, we encourage you to reach out to us as soon as possible. That way, we can help you to recover maximum damages for everything that you’ve been through.
First Steps in a Truck Accident
To the best extent that you’re able, we encourage you to remain calm. Slowing your breathing can help you to calm yourself, even if it’s just a little. You want to be in the best possible position to make decisions.
Assess your injuries as best you can. Remove yourself from harm’s way if you’re able. Contact the authorities. If nothing else, the police will be able to provide a detailed report which can be a great benefit to your eventual case.
You’ll want to get medical attention, too. Again, truck accidents can be even more harmful than other vehicular accidents. Even if you don’t believe that you were injured it's in your best interests to be checked out. Maybe you have internal injuries that you are currently unaware of, and so forth.
Once you’ve done all of that, you can inform your insurance company what happened. Just as when you’re talking to the other party and collecting their information, keep it short with your insurance company. Do not say anything to anyone that could be construed as you accepting any degree of blame for the accident.
Then, after completing all of the above, reach out to us for a free case evaluation. From there, we can schedule a time to sit down with you and figure out how we can best serve you.
Why it’s Important to Work with an Experienced Attorney if You’re Hit by a J. B. Hunt Truck
From the moment that they’re able, the driver of the J. B. Hunt truck will be on the phone with J. B. Hunt. J. B. Hunt and their attorneys will be right on the case, trying to figure out the best way possible to make sure that you receive little compensation (if anything) for everything that you’re going through.
We can keep that from happening. Over the years, we’ve stood up to plenty of the biggest, most intimidating companies on behalf of our clients. Now, we can put that experience to work for you.
Moreover, in a truck accident case such as those involving J. B. Hunt trucks, multiple parties could be liable, even if just partially, for your injuries. For example, yes, the driver very well may be liable, as perhaps they violated a traffic law which led to your injury, or maybe they were driving under the influence, etc.
However, J. B. Hunt could be liable as well. For all their stated goals of hiring safe drivers, perhaps they hired someone that they shouldn’t have, missing obvious red flags, and so forth. Beyond that, so many of the trucks involved in these accidents are carrying cargo. If that cargo was loaded incorrectly and that led to your injuries, then those parties could be liable as well.
When we take your case, we begin an investigation to determine exactly who was at fault and to what extent. Then, from there, once that’s determined, we do everything in our power to make sure that you receive everything you should from everyone liable.
Belal Hamideh: California Truck Accident Lawyer
The truth is that, over the years, J. B. Hunt has been involved in many truck accident cases. They know how to “win” these. Of course, to them, a “win” is keeping those injured in these accidents from receiving what they should.

Injuries can occur at any time and in any place. Hopefully, they’re something minor. But, even seemingly minor injuries, such as slipping and falling when you are in a store or on someone else’s property, can worsen. Problems can quickly develop that can leave you seriously injured and in need of medical treatment. If you have been injured because of the negligence of others, you may be entitled to some form of compensation. This is where an experienced personal injury lawyer can help.
A personal injury attorney plays a crucial role in guiding individuals through the legal complexities following an accident or injury. In California, Belal Hamideh offers comprehensive legal assistance to help injured parties understand their rights and pursue compensation.
Navigating the legal system after an injury can feel overwhelming, but Belal can provide clarity, support, and a path forward.
A Personal Injury Lawyer to Help With Many Different Kinds of Injury Cases
Belal Hamideh has extensive experience helping those who were injured in accidents to be able to receive the compensation they deserve. Over the years, he has helped victims of:
Car Accidents – If you have been involved in a car accident that is the fault of another motorist, you may be entitled to compensation to help you not only repair or replace your car but also coverage of all of your current and future medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.
Pedestrian Accidents – Whether it is the result of getting struck by a vehicle or something else that occurs to you when you are walking down the street, it’s possible to suffer serious injuries when you’re just out for a walk.
Catastrophic Injuries – Any type of injury you sustain that may cause brain injuries, paralysis, or anything of this nature can alter your life forever. Having the right lawyer on your side in cases like this can make sure you get compensated for all that you’ve been through.
Passenger Accidents – Just because you were only the passenger in a vehicle accident does not mean you are precluded from compensation. Your lawyer can see to it that you get the help you need to take care of your injuries.
Wrongful Death: When facing the devastating loss of a loved one, Belal offers unwavering guidance. He can help you navigate the legal process, working to ensure that you obtain the compensation you deserve.
Letting You Know What Your Claim is Worth and Tirelessly Working for It
One of the key advantages of working with an experienced attorney like Belal Hamideh is the ability to understand the value of a personal injury claim. Determining what a claim is worth requires an in-depth evaluation of various factors, including medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.
This analysis goes beyond guesswork and relies on practical legal knowledge, case precedents, and an understanding of insurance practices. Having an accurate assessment of a claim’s worth empowers clients to make informed decisions about their case, ensuring that they pursue a settlement or verdict that truly reflects their losses.
Experience Winning Maximum Compensation for Clients
Compensation in a personal injury case may cover both tangible and intangible damages. Economic damages, such as medical expenses, therapy costs, and lost wages, are calculated based on documented expenses and projected future losses.
On the other hand, non-economic damages, like emotional distress and diminished quality of life, require a nuanced approach to quantify fairly.
Belal Hamideh is dedicated to securing the full range of compensation available to his clients, aiming to ensure that no aspect of their recovery is overlooked. His approach involves working closely with clients to understand the full scope of their injuries and the impact on their lives.
Working for Injury Victims on Contingency
Recovering from an injury often involves significant financial strain, especially when medical bills and lost income start to accumulate. To alleviate these concerns, Belal Hamideh operates on a contingency fee basis.
This means clients do not pay any upfront legal fees. Instead, the attorney’s compensation is contingent upon the successful resolution of the case. This arrangement not only eliminates financial barriers to accessing legal help but also aligns the attorney’s motivation with the client’s success.
When Belal wins, his payment comes out of your settlement. If he doesn’t, then you won’t have to pay. Belal wins 99% of the time.
Belal Takes Care of Your Case When and How It Must Be Taken Care Of
California law generally allows injured parties two years from the date of an incident to file a claim. While this may seem like ample time, delays in gathering evidence, consulting with medical experts, and negotiating with insurance companies can quickly consume that window.
Furthermore, certain circumstances may shorten the filing deadline, making it even more urgent to seek legal guidance. Consulting with an attorney as soon as possible ensures that important deadlines are met and that the case is built on a solid foundation.

Belal Hamideh’s approach to personal injury law is grounded in the commitment to achieving positive outcomes for his clients.

As the gig economy continues to grow, more and more rideshare drivers are taking to California roads. Whether as a primary or supplemental source of income, driving for Uber or Lyft can be an easy way for individuals to generate cash. When a rideshare driver gets in an accident, however, figuring out liability and compensation can be tricky, and the services of an experienced Uber accident lawyer can be helpful.
A car accident, no matter how seemingly minor, can quickly escalate into a complicated legal matter. When you’re driving for work, that typically adds an additional layer of complexity, as an employer may also be at fault. By working with an attorney, you can better position yourself for a more positive outcome after an accident.
An Uber Accident Lawyer Can Be A Helpful Resource
When a rideshare driver gets into an accident, they may not only be injured, they may also be out of the job. In addition to seeking compensation for medical expenses, an Uber accident lawyer can help in recovering damages for lost wages. Other compensatory damages that may be available include:
Pain and suffering
Loss of limb or disfigurement
Loss of a loved one (wrongful death)
Remember, dealing with an insurance company is rarely a straightforward process. As a business first and foremost, they have a vested interest in not paying out claimants. An attorney, such as one of ours at Belal Hamideh Law, can offer valuable insight when navigating the insurance claims process. They will also be able to help you make sense of the different coverages that may be in play.
Determining The Driver At Fault
Sometimes, in the confusing aftermath of a car collision, it’s not always obvious who was at fault. For this reason, it’s important to speak to an attorney before speaking to any other individual’s insurance company after an accident. A seasoned attorney will be able to objectively assess the situation and help you avoid any costly admissions or missteps.
If another driver is at fault, they will be liable for any injuries to you or your passengers. They will also be on the hook for any damages incurred to your vehicle. As you need your car to support your livelihood, seeking the maximum available compensation is crucial to returning normalcy to your life.
If it’s determined that you were at fault, it’s still important to consult with an Uber accident lawyer. If your passengers were injured, they may file claims with the rideshare company, as the state of California does require them to carry policies for such an occasion. They may also make a claim against you, and in such an event, a lawyer can help protect your best interests.
What Should You Do After A Rideshare Accident?
If you should find yourself involved in a car accident as a rideshare driver, the first thing you should do is seek medical attention. Not only is it important to treat any injuries that you may have, this will also assist in building a trail of documentation, which may strengthen your claim down the road.
If you can, you should also take some photos of the scene. These details, along with the names and contact information of anyone else involved are important. Be sure to get the information of any witnesses that happened to be on the scene as well.
You’ll also want to speak with an attorney. By talking to a lawyer, you can get a better understanding of whether or not filing a rideshare claim is right for you. These claims can differ from those available to your specific auto policy, and they may provide damages that would otherwise not be available. Again, a lawyer can give you a comprehensive breakdown of your specific situation.

If you should find yourself involved in a car accident as a rideshare driver, the first thing you should do is seek medical attention. Not only is it important to treat any injuries that you may have, this will also assist in building a trail of documentation, which may strengthen your claim down the road.
If you can, you should also take some photos of the scene. These details, along with the names and contact information of anyone else involved are important. Be sure to get the information of any witnesses that happened to be on the scene as well.
You’ll also want to speak with an attorney. By talking to a lawyer, you can get a better understanding of whether or not filing a rideshare claim is right for you. These claims can differ from those available to your specific auto policy, and they may provide damages that would otherwise not be available. Again, a lawyer can give you a comprehensive breakdown of your specific situation.

An injury attorney can assist you in filing a claim if you’re hurt in a public facility. For example, if you’re hurt at an airport, he or she will assess your case and see who is liable for negligence. You need to prove negligence to file a claim, so it is important to review the matter with a California personal injury lawyer.
How Does an Injury Attorney Prove Negligence?
The Legal Information Institute (LII) at the Cornell Law School defines negligence as an act where a person fails to behave with a reasonable level of care that another person, with ordinary prudence, would have done in the same situation. The behavior is based on reckless actions or oversights related to keeping others safe from harm.
The LII adds that an injury attorney must show four elements to establish negligence. These elements include:
A legal duty the defendant owed to the plaintiff
A breach of duty on the part of the defendant
Evidence of an injury
Proof that the injury was caused through the proximate case* by the defendant’s breach
A proximate cause* is an actual cause in a legal action that supports liability.
Airport Liability Claims
An airport is a large public facility - a place that is almost a magnet for accidents. They can happen just about anywhere. Therefore, airport sites and airlines make safety a priority. However, sometimes accidents occur - mishaps that need the help of a California personal injury lawyer.
So, where are some of the places where airport accidents happen?
The following list will give you sites where airport claims often originate.
Airport Parking Lots
Parking lots set the scene for various accidents. Sometimes a pedestrian gets struck by a car or a driver gets hit in his or her vehicle. This can happen easily when cars are backing out of parking spaces or pulling into a parking lot.
Airport Food Courts
Food courts at airports also prove to be dangerous at times. For instance, slip-and-fall injuries occur or people may get burned. In these cases, a restaurant or the airport may both be liable.
Retailers at Airports
You may browse in a store at the airport while waiting on your flight. An accident in a store may result in an injury claim, especially if you need medical aid. For example, litigants may slip off a slippery floor or get hurt from a protruding shelf. If the accident happens in an airport retailer, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the airport management.
Escalators at Airport Facilities
If you’re walking through an airport and hurt yourself on an escalator, it may be because the escalator was not well maintained. Sometimes, passengers catch their clothing or fingers may get trapped in small openings. In turn, the victim may sustain a neck injury, fracture, or even more severe injury. If you’ve been involved in an escalator accident, you may be in your right to file an injury claim.
The Airport’s Baggage Claim Area
You can also get injured in the baggage claim area. In this case, the conveyor belt may trigger an injury, such as a sprain or broken bones.
The Airport Terminal
Moving walkways in a terminal can also lead to falls if they do not operate properly. In addition, foreign object debris (FOD) can increase the likelihood of an injury. According to Boeing, a FOD is an object that should not be inside, around or near airplanes. FOD not only injures passengers and personnel, but the items can also damage airplanes.
FOD may include loose pavement, catering supplies, building materials, pieces of luggage, rocks, sand, or wildlife. The material may be found on moving walkways, on taxiways, inside cargo aprons, at terminal gates, and on run-up pads. Some of the material is ingested into engines or hurled by a jet blast - both of which can lead to a personal injury.
In addition, slippery areas can lead to accidents as well as unattended airport equipment. Sometimes, people involved in active clean-up fail to post warning signs about wet floors or other routine maintenance.
The Aircraft at the Airport
If you have an accident inside an airplane or get hurt from flying debris, when an airplane takes off or lands, you may also have a personal injury claim. Seeking advice from an injury attorney is the right move if you’ve been hurt and require medical help.
Contacting an Injury Attorney
If you’ve been injured at the airport, you may need to discuss your case with a California PI lawyer. Having an injury attorney on your side will help you determine if you need to go forward legally.
You will need your attorney’s input to determine if you have a negligence claim. You can only file a claim if you can prove the four elements supporting negligence exist.

Anyone who has been in an accident and is considering a personal injury claim case wants to know if they will be successful. The truth of the matter is that there is no such thing as a guaranteed victory when it comes to the law. To find out if you have a personal injury case in such a lawsuit, you must show that the other party acted negligently or recklessly and that their actions or inaction caused you harm. An experienced personal injury lawyer can estimate the value of your claim so you may petition for all the damages you could be eligible for, including punitive, economic, and emotional loss-related damages, and more. Your rehabilitation will benefit from the time you will save by hiring a lawyer.
How Can I Know If I Have a Case?
Most personal injury claims are based on the legal concept of negligence and responsibility. Therefore, to have a personal injury case, a person must have been injured by someone who breached the duty of care and that resulted in their injuries. You can have a duty in different contexts. For example, we all have a duty of care when we share public streets and paths. That is the principle behind why we are all subject to traffic and driving laws. This can be broken down into specific elements that will require a specific assessment of the facts of your potential case.
You Suffered Injuries As A Direct Effect Of The Incident
A personal injury claim's main goal is to recover compensation for damages. Both punitive penalties, which are meant to punish the defendant and discourage such behavior in the future, as well as compensatory damages, which cover both economic and non-economic losses, may be awarded to claimants. You would not have a basis for a personal injury claim if you did not sustain damages, such as an injury or loss.
When The Incident Was Caught On Camera.
Currently, we are totally immersed in a world of accessibility to camera surveillance, even through cell phones and smart devices. Thanks to this it is possible that your accident has been caught on camera. If you can provide video or photographic evidence that corroborates your story and shows negligence on the part of the defendant, this can greatly improve your chances at trial. Although witness testimony is excellent, there is nothing more convincing than being able to review the accident exactly as it happened.
There Is A History Of Similar Events.
Frequent patterns of behavior or similar incidents can work in your favor when you try to sue another person or company. For example, let's say you were injured after slipping and falling down some rickety stairs at a local store. Upon investigation, your attorney discovers that dozens of other customers had similar misfortunes at this establishment, but the business failed to make the repairs that would bring these stairs or the general building’s safety standards up to code.
How Much Compensation Can I Get?
It is difficult to measure how much personal injury compensation can be worth. Unfortunately, the expenses go beyond just medical bills. When you are involved in an accident that results in an injury, the costs can add up, especially if you are unable to work and are losing wages because of the accident. In many cases, these injuries are seemingly minor, but if not treated properly, they could cause problems later on. It's also common for people to be unaware of how these injuries also take a toll on the lifestyle they might have had before. The mental effects that can result from accident injuries can also affect relationships with others.
Compensation for personal injury cases depends on your case. Each case is unique and must be treated with importance and care. Having a personal injury attorney on your side, fighting for your right to compensation, will not only be beneficial to your case but will also prevent you from feeling stressed or overwhelmed. The legal system can be hard to navigate, especially if you’re focused on your recovery and financial situation. Many victims choose to consult with an attorney to learn their rights.

Being injured is a physically and emotionally challenging experience. It can be difficult to sort through the events that caused the injuries, keep track of bills, and focus on recovery at the same time. It is both reasonable and practical to seek legal support from a reputable personal injury attorney without delay.
At Belal Hamideh, we understand the financial difficulties associated with recovering from an injury. Therefore, our attorneys only work on a contingency basis, which means we only charge you an attorney's fee if you receive compensation for your case.

Whether a personal injury is a simple financial inconvenience or completely turns their world upside down, a lawsuit is likely the only way for a victim to get the compensation they need to get their life back on track. As such, the stakes are incredibly high for them to win. Working with a personal injury law firm means you get to use their expertise and resources to better your chances of winning. Here are some tips that should be helpful for most cases.
Tips for Building A Strong Case With a Personal Injury Law Firm
Keep in mind that both a favorable settlement and a favorable verdict should be considered a “win”, especially when it comes to personal injury law. Because of television and movies, some people might think a win means getting a good verdict from a jury or judge after a long, dramatic court case. But this isn’t necessarily true; an attorney should be prepared to go to trial for their clients, but settlements without trials are often advantageous.
In fact, most personal injury cases won’t go to trial. According to the online Black’s Law Dictionary, only “[f]our percent to five percent of the personal injury cases in the United States go to trial.” So, use the tips below whether or not you anticipate your case ending before or after trial.
Protect Information about Your Case
Often, you need to be fairly diligent in your day-to-day life because your defendant, especially if they are an insurance company, will use everything they can to win. Watch what you post online and consider making your social media accounts private. Another party can twist your words in their favor or they could gain insight into what you think your case is worth.
Similarly, try to limit what you say to insurance companies and any other parties. They may pressure you into saying or agreeing to something that hurts your case. If you’re worried, once you have a lawyer, they can handle most conversations pertaining to your case.
You can and should, however, be keeping thorough documentation of your life after your personal injury. It’s helpful for a wide range of claims you can make, including medical expenses, loss of income, emotional damages, and more. In addition to paperwork and bills, journaling and saving messages can help show the duress you may be experiencing.
Have an Open Conversation with Your Attorney
Do not keep anything from your lawyer. They are on your side and your conversations are privileged. They’ll want to use helpful information and they’ll just not use it if it isn’t important. Plus, if it’s harmful to your case, they’ll want to anticipate how to deal with it and adjust your expectations accordingly.
On the flip side, your attorney should also be completely honest with you. They’ll want to tell you honestly what they think the chances of your case succeeding is. This will increase the odds of a favorable settlement and will enable you to make better-informed choices.
Protect Yourself by Getting Legal Representation
At the end of the day, a personal injury law firm that represents you wants you to win. It’s their job to advocate for your best interests. They’ll help you avoid common mistakes that can lose of your case, which could be your only or best chance to get your damages recovered.

Have you been harassed at work? Did you work overtime and you weren’t paid for it? Were you fired for reasons other than performance? Those are the kinds of unfortunate situations that too many think they just have to accept. “It’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do” - far too many workers have that attitude. The truth is, the good news is, that there is something you can do. Specifically, you can reach out to an employment lawyer in Long Beach to see if you have a case. Here at Belal Hamideh Law, we handle many different kinds of employment cases.
Harassment and Discrimination
You shouldn’t be harassed sexually at work nor should you be discriminated against due to a disability. If that happens to you, we can help. We’ve been able to help many to receive the maximum amount of compensation when they’ve been harassed or discriminated against through another person’s actions. The era of simply accepting such malfeasance is over. We can represent you aggressively so that you can receive compensation as well as justice.
Disputes About Your Wages and Hours You’ve Worked
You work hard. You do the best that you can at your job. So, you deserve to be paid what you agreed to be paid for it. When that doesn’t occur, something must be done. We always encourage those who may have a wage and hour dispute to reach out to us. Why? Because we work on contingency. Thus, there’s no downside to talking to us. The worst thing that can happen: is we can tell you that you may not have a case. However, it’s entirely likely that you will have a case and we can work to make sure you receive the money you deserve.
When You’re Terminated Wrongly
Your boss can’t just fire you for any reason. You can’t be fired, for example, for rebuffing a superior’s unwanted advance, nor can you be fired for your gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or anything like that. Additionally, you can’t be fired if you’ve pointed out work practices that are unsafe or anything of that nature. If you believe that’s the case, it’s very much worth it to reach out to our staff. Even if the employer denies it and makes up some excuse to cover their actions, we can represent you aggressively.

The above are just some of the ways that we can help working folks. California has many laws in place to help those who have been wronged in the workplace. We can put that experience to work for you.

If you slip or fall and hurt yourself in California, you are entitled to compensation for your medical expenses and related costs of the accident. To learn more about this type of personal injury case, you need to speak to a slip and fall lawyer California professional. You’ll realize more success and avoid future disputes by discussing your accident with a legal advisor.
How a Slip and Fall Lawyer California Professional Can Help You Submit a Claim
When you speak to a lawyer for fall and slip injuries, you’ll need to give him or her full details of your claim - where it happened, what happened (why you slipped and fell), and provide evidence.
You should visit a doctor on the same day of the accident to show you were treated and you incurred medical costs for the therapy. Even if you don’t believe your injury is serious, you should always have a doctor examine and treat you.
In some slip-and-fall claims, patients develop injuries several days, or even up to six months after the accident. If you go to a doctor, you can follow up on your treatment if you have further medical problems.
Gather the Evidence to Support Your Case
This evidence includes medical reports, medical bills, pictures of the accident site, witness testimonies (if they’re available), and other related details. The more evidence you can produce, the easier it will be to show and prove negligence.
Don’t Wait to Submit a Claim
For you to submit a claim, your slip and fall lawyer California advisor needs to hear from you and file the claim within two years. Therefore, to successfully submit a claim, the state’s statute of limitations (SOL) says you can file a lawsuit two years from the date of the accident. If you try to file a claim after two years, the court will reject it.
Therefore, to ensure you get the legal help you need, you need to contact a lawyer for fall and slip lawsuits within a two-year time frame. Your lawyer will also have to prove negligence in the case, or that your accident resulted from the defendant’s oversights or lack of reasonable care.
Show that the Other Party Was at Fault
To prove negligence in a slip-and-fall, the lawyer must show four elements, as follows:
The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care
The defendant breached his or her duty of care
This breach caused the victim or plaintiff to slip or fall and get hurt
In turn, the victim or plaintiff can show that they were injured because of the breach or negligence of the other party
Contact a Slip and Fall Lawyer California Advisor ASAP
Because California has a two-year statute of limitations for slip-and-fall lawsuits, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. This is helpful, as the incident is still fresh on your mind. That way, you can communicate the events of the mishap more easily.
If you happen to slip, trip, or fall through no fault of your own, you should contact a lawyer before you do anything else. He or she can give you the advice you need to get the money you deserve for this type of personal injury claim.
Don’t talk to the other party’s insurance company first, as doing so may prevent you from getting the money you need to pay your medical bills and other related expenses - both now and in the future.
How Slip and Falls Occur
Usually, a slip-and-fall, when a third party is at fault, happens because of their oversight or disregard for public health or safety. This may take one of the various forms.
For example, someone may trip and fall in a parking lot at night because of insufficient lighting. It is up to the owner of the parking facility to ensure the safety of the people using the parking lot. Therefore, a poorly lit lot can form the basis for a lawsuit.
In some cases, slip-and-falls occur because of slippery floors or pavement. If a property owner does nothing to warn customers or visitors about the slippery surface, they may eventually have to answer to a lawsuit.
In some instances, people have fallen from heights because of a lack of a barrier or a broken railing. In both these instances, the defendant had not made the proper accommodations or maintained the site to prevent the injury.
A common slip-trip-and-fall happens when a sidewalk is uneven or it has broken pavement. In this case, the owner of the sidewalk did not regularly repair and maintain the walkway so people could walk on it safely. Here, again, is another example of how someone’s negligence can lead to a fall.

Gather the Evidence to Support Your Case
This evidence includes medical reports, medical bills, pictures of the accident site, witness testimonies (if they’re available), and other related details. The more evidence you can produce, the easier it will be to show and prove negligence.
Don’t Wait to Submit a Claim
For you to submit a claim, your slip and fall lawyer California advisor needs to hear from you and file the claim within two years. Therefore, to successfully submit a claim, the state’s statute of limitations (SOL) says you can file a lawsuit two years from the date of the accident. If you try to file a claim after two years, the court will reject it.
Therefore, to ensure you get the legal help you need, you need to contact a lawyer for fall and slip lawsuits within a two-year time frame. Your lawyer will also have to prove negligence in the case, or that your accident resulted from the defendant’s oversights or lack of reasonable care.
Show that the Other Party Was at Fault
To prove negligence in a slip-and-fall, the lawyer must show four elements, as follows:
The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care
The defendant breached his or her duty of care
This breach caused the victim or plaintiff to slip or fall and get hurt
In turn, the victim or plaintiff can show that they were injured because of the breach or negligence of the other party
Contact a Slip and Fall Lawyer California Advisor ASAP
Because California has a two-year statute of limitations for slip-and-fall lawsuits, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. This is helpful, as the incident is still fresh on your mind. That way, you can communicate the events of the mishap more easily.
If you happen to slip, trip, or fall through no fault of your own, you should contact a lawyer before you do anything else. He or she can give you the advice you need to get the money you deserve for this type of personal injury claim.
Don’t talk to the other party’s insurance company first, as doing so may prevent you from getting the money you need to pay your medical bills and other related expenses - both now and in the future.
How Slip and Falls Occur
Usually, a slip-and-fall, when a third party is at fault, happens because of their oversight or disregard for public health or safety. This may take one of the various forms.
For example, someone may trip and fall in a parking lot at night because of insufficient lighting. It is up to the owner of the parking facility to ensure the safety of the people using the parking lot. Therefore, a poorly lit lot can form the basis for a lawsuit.
In some cases, slip-and-falls occur because of slippery floors or pavement. If a property owner does nothing to warn customers or visitors about the slippery surface, they may eventually have to answer to a lawsuit.
In some instances, people have fallen from heights because of a lack of a barrier or a broken railing. In both these instances, the defendant had not made the proper accommodations or maintained the site to prevent the injury.
A common slip-trip-and-fall happens when a sidewalk is uneven or it has broken pavement. In this case, the owner of the sidewalk did not regularly repair and maintain the walkway so people could walk on it safely. Here, again, is another example of how someone’s negligence can lead to a fall.

Learn a little about the industry so you can find a better lawyer, and preferably a lawyer that is not out to rip you off.
No-Win No-Fee Vs Paid Lawyers
When you use a no-win no-fee lawyer, you are taking very little risk. If nothing comes of the case, then nothing is lost. However, no-win no-fee lawyers have less incentive to follow your case through, or to do any sort of good job. It is an opportunistic business model, and if you have suffered genuine injury that has caused a lot of discomfort, and/or may affect the rest of your life (unable to work, permanent injury, etc.,) then you are taking a massive risk using a no-win no-fee lawyer. In cases where it is imperative that you win, you must use a highly regarded, well trained, well qualified, and professional injury lawyer.
Finding the Best Injury Lawyer For Your Case
How do you know if you are dealing with a good injury lawyer? You will know through how thorough the lawyer is. Not only will the lawyer advise you on what sort of evidence you need to bring. He or she will also advise on keeping a record and proof of every financial loss, of every medical bill, and of every symptom. The lawyer will also talk about the mental and psychological side of your injury, and its effect on your future health, your future recreational activities, and how it will affect your ability to work in the future.
[caption id="attachment_12360" align="aligncenter" width="357"] Best Injury Lawyer Belal Hamideh Law[/caption]
Ask Friends, Family and People Who Have Used the Lawyer
Personal recommendations are probably the greatest way to find the best lawyer simply because the testimonials you read online are probably born from the brains of the lawyer’s marketing department.
Plus, if you actually know somebody who won a successful case with a lawyer, and has good things to say about the lawyer, then that is usually a solid indication that the lawyer you are looking into is a good one.
Use Your Instincts And Intuition
The problem with picking a lawyer, especially face-to-face, is that lawyers are born to act. They are players in the theater of their own choosing, which makes them excellent at their job, but it “Can” also make them great liars and fraudsters.
As a result, it is tough to tell the difference between a lawyer who genuinely cares about your case, a lawyer who is putting on an act because she/he wants your case and your money. However, even the best charlatans slip up from time-to-time. As you are talking, if you start to feel that nagging doubt in your mind, then keep looking and find other lawyers. You may come back to the one about whom you had the nagging doubt, but the very presence of that doubt suggests you probably have found the right lawyer yet. Separating the charlatans from the good lawyers is difficult, so be as picky as you need.
What To Do Now
Use your good sense, your intuitive nature, and your own due diligence to find the best injury lawyer for your case. Take a look at what is on offer at Belal Hamideh Law.com and make a choice based on your needs and requirements.

It’s one of the most disheartening and unfortunate truths in society, but sexual harassment is something that many people (the majority, of women) have to deal with at some point in their lives. Whether in a professional or personal context, sexual harassment can be hugely damaging both physically and mentally for the victim, and an alarming amount of cases go unreported and unpunished. There has been a climate shift in the way that society views and treats sexual harassment and this is something that everyone needs to continue to support in the days, months, and years going forwards. Although it is still a difficult decision to take, here is some key information regarding how to report a workplace case to a sexual harassment attorney in Los Angeles.
The Avoidable Consequences Doctrine Under Federal Law
In the context of federal law defense, an employer who is at the center of a claim like this is required to prove a couple of things, which are important to understand from your point of view to let you know what kind of tactics you might be subject to in opposition:
They have to prove that they exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct promptly any inappropriate behavior.
They have to prove that you are the employee who unreasonably failed to take advantage of any preventive or corrective opportunities that were offered to avoid harm.
The Avoidable Consequences Doctrine Under CA State Law
In terms of specific CA state law, some of the requirements are slightly different:
The employer needs to prove that it took reasonable steps to prevent or correct any harassment in the workplace.
That the employee was unreasonable in their failure to use corrective and preventative measures.
That reasonable implementation of the employer’s procedures would have prevented the harm caused by the harassment.
Be As Prompt As Possible
With this information in mind, it is absolutely essential that you be as prompt as your emotions and mental health allow you to be in reporting your harassment case. With so many legal hoops to jump through, the more time your representation has to build a base, the better. Do not wait for a long period between reporting your problems to your employer and consulting with a legal representative, because you don’t want to put yourself in the position of being on the back foot when it comes to evidence gathering and any potential covering up of misconduct that could be undertaken by opposing forces in your workplace environment. Speed is key to any successful sexual harassment case.
