Protecting your rights to fair and full compensation
Los Angeles residents have rights if they are injured. It is important to choose a skilled and experienced personal injury lawyer in order to protect your rights. It can be difficult and even hostile to file a claim for compensation. The person or entity responsible for your injuries or their insurance company will look out for their interests more than yours. They will use your ignorance and experience to stop you from getting the justice you deserve. You may not realize that you need an attorney.
The Law Firm of John W. Stenson has many years of combined experience in handling personal injury cases in Los Angeles and Southern California. We are familiar with the details of personal injury law. Every day, we take on corporate defendants and insurance companies. We are passionate advocates for our clients in order to get the maximum compensation for their losses and injuries. We are skilled negotiators, and when a fair settlement is not reached, we represent our clients in court.
We handle everything while you recover from your injuries
You don’t want to deal with all the paperwork after an accident or injury. Instead of dealing with insurance companies, dealing with them (and worrying about whether they are being fair to you), investigating your claim, gathering evidence, figuring out what your rights may be, and proving your losses, this is the time you need to heal from your injuries and make arrangements for your personal life.
Not only do they handle all of these tasks but they also know how to efficiently accomplish them.
While you are regaining control of your life, we work in the background. We are available to answer all your questions and concerns. We understand that this can be a stressful time and we want to help you get through the difficult aspects of a personal injury case.
You can be sure that your case will be handled in the fairest and most just manner by having our Los Angeles personal injury team behind you. Your personal injury lawyer will:
- Notify your insurance company about the accident and the insurance company responsible for the responsible party.
- Decide whether you want an insurance company to review your recorded statement
- Help facilitate repairs to your car and the provision of a rental car in a case involving a collision.
- Explain the coverage of the insurance policy
- Answer questions about medical care options
- Investigate the causes of the accident
- Keep evidence such as witness statements, footage from scene surveillance, and other physical evidence.
- Document any claim for lost earnings due to your injuries
- Get your billing statements and medical records
- Send a claim to the insurance company of the responsible party
- Negotiate for you
- If necessary, file a lawsuit and go to trial
We won’t let insurers exploit you.
After an accident, be wary of insurance companies. Although their reps may seem friendly and willing to help, their main goal is to keep payouts as low as possible. They will usually call you before you have a lawyer and try to get you to give a recorded statement or accept a quick settlement offer that is too low for your claim.
Recall that insurance companies make money when they keep money instead of giving it out. That’s not how they’re acting. To make sure you get all the money you owe for your injuries, our personal injury lawyers have years of experience fighting these strategies.
