What Injured Victims in Calabasas Should Do First

Do Not Downplay Your Injuries

Adrenaline can mask pain after a collision. Injuries common in Calabasas accidents often worsen days or weeks later so it is important to get immediate care and treatment and be a good historian—report all injuries, pains and problems no matter how slight they may initially seem.

Avoid Social Media

Insurance companies monitor social media for posts they can use against you. Even innocent photos can be taken out of context. So we advise NO social media post njury collision.

Consult a Local Calabasas Injury Attorney

Local knowledge matters. Understanding how Los Angeles County courts handle injury cases and locating best available doctors, specialists, therapists, etc. are essential when insurers push back.

California’s Comparative Fault Rule

Even if another driver claims you were partially responsible and even if you were partially at fault (e.g. traveling at an excessive speed), under California comparative liability law you may still recover damages.

California uses comparative liability, not its prior system which stated if you contributed to the collision you could get nothing. So fault percentages directly affect compensation. Experienced attorneys know how to counter attempts to shift blame unfairly. If there is any comparative fault issue, please let us know so we may help.

Compensation After a Serious Calabasas Accident

You may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Hospital and other medical treatment and future care
  • Lost income, wages and future diminished earning potential
  • Pain and suffering and inconvenience
  • Emotional trauma
  • Vehicle repair or replacement
  • Diminished value since after a motor vehicle collision the repaired vehicle may be worth less than it was prior to the collision
  • Wrongful death damages when a family member is lost, including all medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, loss of future support and companionship and many other categories of damages

Insurance companies often undervalue claims involving future medical needs — a mistake experienced attorneys know how to correct. Please contact us now to counteract this unfair insurance tactic.

Why Experience Matters in High-Value Injury Cases

Calabasas accident claims often involve substantial insurance policies and aggressive defense strategies. Our firm’s over four (4) decades of experience handling complex injury and wrongful death cases allows us to negotiate from a position of strength — or take the case into litigation and even to trial when necessary.
