Have You Suffered A Personal Injury In Los Angeles?
While personal injury claims come in nearly limitless forms, some are more common than others.
Auto Accidents:
A car accident is a traumatic and immensely inconvenient event. You may be left with physical pain and disruptions to your lifestyle, and you may be left without a car if it was seriously damaged in the crash. You should seek legal counsel immediately if you have been injured due to an auto accident in Los Angeles.
Pedestrian Accidents
The streets of Los Angeles are more dangerous than they have ever been before. Aggression, distraction, and negligence can all cause a life-altering pedestrian accident to occur, potentially leaving you with expensive and long-lasting injuries. If you have been injured on the streets of Los Angeles due to a
Slip and Fall Accidents

Leaks, damaged walkways, and generally unsafe conditions can all cause an unexpected slip or fall that leads to serious injuries. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident in Los Angeles, then call our personal injury lawyers to get started with a free case evaluation.
Amputations Injuries
Amputation injury is defined as the removal of a body part as a result of trauma, illness, or surgery. No matter how an amputation injury is sustained, it will almost always lead to profound life changes. Blood clots, infections, and psychological distress are common in the days and weeks following an amputation, and even more pronounced effects often follow. Dependency, social life changes, and financial disruption are all long-term results of amputation injuries that should be addressed by an amputation injury lawyer.
Dog Bites
It doesn’t matter how large or small a dog is — a dog bite can leave you with expensive medical bills and the need for ongoing treatment. According to California law, the dog’s owner may be responsible for damages if your injuries were caused by a dog bite and occurred either in public or private, though you will need to prove that you were lawfully in the private location. Call our Los Angeles dog bite lawyers if you have been recently bitten by a dog.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death is one of the most tragic and devastating events a family can experience. California law allows spouses, domestic partners, children, grandchildren, and other parties who would normally be entitled to the deceased party’s property according to California law to sue for wrongful death. Negligence, gross negligence, or an intentionally illegal act could all be grounds for a wrongful death case.

Our Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help
At Los Angeles City Law, we know that personal injuries of any kind can seriously compromise a victim’s finances and overall quality of life. Insurance companies often overlook the impact of an injury in an attempt to protect their bottom line, and we find this practice absolutely unacceptable. When you call our personal injury lawyers, we will review your case and help you determine which, if any, damages you should pursue. We have taken the time to explain what damages are below, but please get in touch with us if you would like to learn more, or if you would like to determine which damages you could pursue in your case.
We will begin by explaining some basic terminology used in the legal system. If you have been injured and decide to pursue damages in a court of law, you will be referred to as the plaintiff in the case. You will attempt to show that another party, the defendant, is legally responsible for your injuries. If you are able to prove that the defendant is legally responsible for your injuries, then you will likely be awarded damages, which are a way of providing you with compensation for the consequences of an injury.
As you may expect, it is often difficult to put a monetary value on the way that your body functions or your quality of life before the accident, especially if you do not have an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side. However, this does not mean that should not pursue compensation. Los Angeles City Law can help you pursue monetary compensation for:
Pain, Suffering, And Discomfort
There is no getting around the fact that personal injuries are both physically and mentally painful. Victims are often forced to deal with severe ongoing physical pain for the rest of their lives, which can be distressing and detrimental to one’s overall quality of life. Many victims also find themselves experiencing ongoing mental trauma, anxiety, and depression following an injury. An injury can often cause victims to experience the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and fear of situations similar the one that caused their injury. Thoroughly document any changes to your physical and emotional health following your injury in order to maximize your chances of receiving compensation.
Medical Bills
You will almost certainly seek medical care in the days, and perhaps even months, following your accident. Monetary compensation for medical treatment is among the most common damages sought in court. It is important to note that compensation can be pursued for past medical treatment as well as any treatment that can be reasonably expected to occur in the future. The cost of physical therapy, checkups, surgeries, psychological care, and other forms of long-term care can all be pursued. Begin documenting your medical expenses as you incur them, and be sure that you are also documenting transportation costs and any other expenses required to tend to your injuries.
Loss Of Property
Victims can often seek compensation for personal possessions that have been damaged or destroyed. Vehicles, articles of clothing, electronics, and other personal items can be assigned a monetary value by the court. The court will generally use the current market price of the property to determine how much the defendant will be required to pay. Thoroughly document any of your personal possessions that have been damaged. Photographic evidence can be very helpful when it comes to proving that your property was directly damaged as a result of the incident.
Lost Wages
You could be entitled to pursue compensation for income that was lost as a result of your injury. The time you spent in the hospital instead of working, for instance, can be converted to lost wages and then compensated by the defendant. Victims often pursue ongoing monetary losses, as an injury will sometimes prevent a person from returning to their previous level of productivity in the workplace. They may also have to take time off to pursue ongoing physical and mental care. Take the time to gather pay stubs, tax returns, and any other paperwork that could be used to document changes in your income.
Loss Of Lifestyle
It is often difficult to put a monetary value on a lifestyle, but it is undeniable that many victims cannot return to their previous lifestyle following an accident. Hobbies, exercise, and other recreational activities can all be grouped together and pursued as damages when they are impacted by a personal injury. As an example, parents who previously enjoyed coaching their children’s sporting events could pursue compensation when they can no longer actively participate. In some cases, compensation may be awarded to spouses and family members as well, as they too have suffered a loss.
Loss Of Intimacy
Also known as “loss of consortium,” many victims find that their intimate relationships are negatively affected in the wake of a serious injury. Changes to your sexual intimacy and other forms of companionship should all be thoroughly documented. Write down noticeable changes in your intimate life as soon as you notice them. You can also bring these issues to the attention of your medical provider.
