A skilled attorney will meticulously evaluate your case to determine the full extent of your damages. By leveraging their negotiation skills and courtroom experience, they can help you secure the maximum compensation you deserve.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also keep in mind that insurance companies often prioritize their own interests over those of the injured party.

They will ensure your claims are processed fairly and promptly, saving you time and stress.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every personal injury case is unique. A dedicated attorney will take the time to understand your specific circumstances and tailor their approach accordingly. They will provide personalized guidance, answer your questions, and keep you informed throughout the legal process. This level of attention can be invaluable when dealing with the emotional and financial challenges associated with an injury.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accidents_and_Injuries_We_Work_With\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accidents and Injuries We Work With<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accidents\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accidents<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/car-accidents\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car Accidents<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/motorcycle-accidents\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motorcycle Accidents<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/truck-accidents\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Truck Accidents<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/bicycle-accidents\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bicycle Accidents<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/uber-accident-lawyer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uber\/Lyft Accidents<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/wrongful-death\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrongful Death<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/dog-bites\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dog bite injuries<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/pedestrian-accidents\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pedestrian accidents<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/premises-liability\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Premises liability<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/personal-injury\/slip-and-fall\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slip and fall<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personal_Injuries\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personal Injuries<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/catastrophic-injury\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catastrophic injuries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/catastrophic-injury\/amputation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amputations<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/catastrophic-injury\/burn-injury\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burn Injuries<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/catastrophic-injury\/paralysis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paralysis<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/catastrophic-injury\/spinal-cord-injury\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spinal Chord Injuries<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaylaw.com\/catastrophic-injury\/traumatic-brain-injury\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traumatic brain injuries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (TBI)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hows_a_Personal_Injury_Claim\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How\u2019s a Personal Injury Claim?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Initial_Consultation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Initial Consultation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What to expect during your first meeting:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You&#8217;ll discuss the details of your accident, injuries, and potential damages.

In cases involving a government entity, you must first file a formal claim with the appropriate government agency <\/span><b>within six months<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the date of the injury. This process is known as filing a &#8220;government claim.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After filing the government claim, the government has 45 days to respond. If your claim is denied or the government does not respond within those 45 days, you have six months from the denial date or the response period&#8217;s expiration to file a lawsuit in court.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you miss the six-month deadline for filing a government claim, you may still be able to file it late under certain circumstances, but this requires showing a valid reason for the delay and is subject to the court&#8217;s discretion. You must complete this deadline to ensure your ability to seek compensation.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_is_My_Personal_Injury_Claim_Worth\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determining the value of a personal injury claim can be complex, as it depends on various factors specific to each case. There is no fixed amount for a personal injury claim; instead, the compensation you may receive is based on some elements like:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medical Expenses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This includes all costs related to your medical treatment, such as hospital bills, surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, and any future medical expenses if ongoing treatment is necessary.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lost Wages<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If your injury caused you to miss work, you could be compensated for the income you lost during your recovery. This also includes any potential loss of earning capacity if your injury affects your ability to work in the future.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pain and Suffering<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Compensation for pain and suffering is intended to cover the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury. This is often a subjective amount and can vary greatly depending on the severity of your injury and its impact on your life.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Property Damage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If your personal property was damaged in the incident (e.g., your vehicle in a car accident), the cost of repairing or replacing that property can be included in your claim.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Loss of Consortium<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: In some cases, a spouse may be entitled to compensation for the loss of companionship, affection, and support due to the injury.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s important to note that insurance companies often try to minimize the amount they pay out, so the initial settlement offer may be lower than what your claim is actually worth. Consulting with a <\/span><b>personal injury lawyer in Redlands CA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help ensure that you receive fair compensation by accurately assessing the value of your claim and negotiating with the insurance company or taking the case to court if necessary.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recommended_Steps_Right_After_an_Accident\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recommended Steps Right After an Accident<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re involved in an accident in California, taking the right steps immediately afterward is crucial for your safety and for protecting your legal rights.

California follows a legal doctrine known as <\/span><b>&#8220;pure comparative negligence.&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This means that even if you are partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages; however, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Pure_Comparative_Negligence_Works\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Pure Comparative Negligence Works<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under California&#8217;s pure comparative negligence rule, the court or the insurance company will determine the percentage of fault attributed to each party involved in the accident. Once fault is assigned, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you are awarded $100,000 in damages but are found to be 30% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 30%, meaning you will receive $70,000.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Useful_Links_if_You_Have_an_Accident_in_Redlands\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Useful Links if You Have an Accident in Redlands<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmv.ca.gov\/portal\/field-office\/redlands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DMV<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityofredlands.org\/police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redlands Police Department<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityofredlands.org\/fire-department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redlands Fire Department<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lasd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los Angeles County Sheriff<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthgrades.com\/hospital-directory\/ca-california\/redlands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospitals in Redlands<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaa.com\/office\/detail\/Redlands-CA-Redlands%20Branch-746\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Triple A Redlands<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_I_Pay_a_Personal_Injury_Lawyer\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Can I Pay a Personal Injury Lawyer?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contingency fees are a common way to pay a personal injury lawyer. Under this system, a lawyer only gets paid if they win the case or secure a settlement for their client. Instead of charging an upfront fee or billing by the hour, the lawyer&#8217;s fee is a percentage of the compensation awarded to the client.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This arrangement benefits clients needing more financial resources to pay for legal representation upfront. It also aligns the lawyer&#8217;s interests with the client&#8217;s, as the lawyer is motivated to secure the maximum possible compensation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hire_a_Winning_Personal_Injury_Lawyer_in_Redlands_CA\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hire a Winning Personal Injury Lawyer in Redlands CA<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t settle for less than what is owed to you.
