FAQ
Anything having to do with law can be confusing if you don’t have an extensive background in it. That’s why people retain attorneys. They fight for the rights of others and answer all the tough questions where legal topics are concerned.
Let’s look individually at some questions and answers regarding specific cases:
- Personal injury
- Automobile accidents
- Wrongful death

Personal Injury
Q: When Should I Hire A Personal Injury Attorney?
A: If you’ve been injured at the hands of another, before you talk to insurance companies, but following medical treatment, this is the best time to retain a personal injury attorney.
Q: Do I Really Need A Personal Injury Lawyer?
A: Are you a personal injury attorney? If you answered no, and you’ve been hurt at the hands of another, you’ll want to hire a personal injury lawyer. Particularly if you’re looking for just compensation and the representation of your rights. Don’t try to fight the system and insurance companies alone. It’s a losing battle.
Automobile Accidents
Q: Is California a “No-Fault State”?
A: No. How your lawyer approaches your case and your compensation will be affected by the fact that California is a pure comparative fault state.
Q: Even If I’m Not Hurt, Should I Go to the Hospital Following an Automobile Accident?
A: Yes. You may not initially feel injured or affected immediately following an accident. But chances are, by the next morning, pain and more obvious injuries could present themselves (as in the case of a head injury, which can result in death if unattended). Always get checked out following a car accident by a qualified healthcare professional.
Wrongful Death
Q: What Is a Claim For Wrongful Death?
A: A claim that specifies wrongful death is a case brought against someone (a person, persons, or an organization) who caused another’s death. The accused person’s/organization’s actions would be deemed outside the scope of what a careful, reasonable individual would do, given the same circumstances.
Q: In A Wrongful Death Suit, Who Can File Suit?
A: A personal representative of the estate of the deceased person can bring forth the wrongful death claim whether or not they are entitled to settlement proceeds. A lawsuit can be filed and/or damages can also be sought in California by surviving family members including:
- Parents (or guardian if no parent is available)
- Children
- Spouse or domestic partner
- Other family members wishing to sue a person or organization for the death of a loved one should speak with a wrongful death attorney to explore their options/rights
