Accidents happen every day in Los Angeles. When they do, accident victims suddenly have to contend with some of the most serious injuries and other losses. The vast majority of accidents in the city are caused by negligence or carelessness. If you have been hurt by someone else’s thoughtless or reckless actions, you should not be responsible for paying for your medical expenses, lost income, and other losses. Through a personal injury claim, it is possible to hold the negligent party liable for paying compensation. These claims, though, are rarely easy to file. The negligent party is likely to deny that their actions caused your injuries, and they may even try to shift the blame to you to shield themselves from liability.
