Personal Injury

Personal injury law refers to the legal remedies and defenses involved in civil lawsuits brought as a result of wrongful conduct. In fact, the word "tort" comes from a Latin term meaning twist, wrong, or harm. In contrast to criminal law, a tort action does not involve the government prosecuting the wrongdoer. Rather, these cases involve a private plaintiff seeking compensation (usually money) for the harm caused by the defendant's actions.

What types of personal injury cases does BHAKHRI Law Firm handle?

BHAKHRI Law Firm handles a wide range of personal injury cases, including car accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, wrongful death, and product liability. Our experienced attorneys are committed to helping you secure the compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses.

What should I do immediately after an accident?

After an accident, it’s important to seek medical attention, document the scene with photos if possible, and collect contact information from any witnesses. Notify your insurance company and contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to discuss your legal rights and options for pursuing compensation.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

To have a valid personal injury claim, you must show that another party’s negligence or wrongdoing caused your injury. This typically involves proving that the other party had a duty of care, breached that duty, and directly caused your injuries. Our attorneys can evaluate your case during a free consultation to determine if you have a valid claim.

What kind of compensation can I receive in a personal injury case?

Compensation in a personal injury case may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages. The specific amount and type of compensation depend on the details of your case, including the severity of your injuries and the impact on your life.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit varies by state, but in California, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. However, it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure all deadlines are met and to preserve crucial evidence.

What should I do if the insurance company offers me a settlement?

If an insurance company offers you a settlement, it’s important not to accept it without first consulting with a personal injury attorney. Insurance companies often offer low settlements in the hopes that you will accept less than what your case is worth. Our attorneys can review the offer and negotiate on your behalf to secure a fair settlement.

Do I need a lawyer for my personal injury case?

While you are not required to have a lawyer, hiring an experienced personal injury attorney can significantly improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. An attorney can handle the legal complexities of your case, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

How does BHAKHRI Law Firm charge for personal injury cases?

BHAKHRI Law Firm typically handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. Our fees are a percentage of the compensation you receive, so there are no upfront costs for you.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

In California, you may still be able to recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident, thanks to the state’s comparative negligence laws. Your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of your fault, but you are not barred from recovering damages. Our attorneys can help assess your level of fault and work to maximize your compensation.

How long will it take to resolve my personal injury case?

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases may be resolved in a few months, while others can take several years. At BHAKHRI Law Firm, we work diligently to resolve your case as quickly as possible while ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
