Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys

After an accident, it can be difficult to know where to turn. If you were injured, you may be facing costly medical bills and lost wages. Your injuries may also impact your day-to-day life for years to come. It may feel as though you have nowhere to turn.

Fortunately, California law is designed to help accident victims recover financially for their losses and pain and suffering after an accident. This area of law is known as personal injury law. While many associate personal injury with billboard lawyers and day-time television commercials, the truth is that personal injury claims help millions of individuals every year get the compensation they need to support their families, pay their medical bills, and make a full financial recovery.

At Laureti Law, we believe that personal injury is a personal matter. That is why we take a personalized approach to client representation. We keep our caseload small so that we can provide every client with the time and attention they deserve. Our goal is to help clients maximize the value of their cases.

Do You Have A Personal Injury Claim?

If you were injured in an accident, you may have a valid personal injury claim. In order to bring a personal injury lawsuit, you must first have standing to sue. In the most basic terms, this means you must be able to establish that you suffered from a physical injury, someone else was responsible for your injuries, and there is access to financial recovery either through insurance or the responsible party’s personal assets.

What Can You Recover After an Accident?

After an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses in the form of damages. This can include both economic damages and non-economic damages.

Economic damages are meant to pay a personal injury client for financial losses related to their injuries, such as lost wages, lost overtime pay, medical bills, medication, and other associated expenses. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, include compensation for pain and suffering, the loss of enjoyment for life, and other emotional and psychological distress.

Calculating damages after an accident is not always easy. Insurance companies will work to diminish the value of your claim. An experienced personal injury attorney can review the facts of your case, your medical bills, and other expenses to help you determine the true value of your case.

Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney

After an accident, you may receive calls from the at-fault party’s insurance company. They may offer you a settlement for your injuries. As tempting as it may be to accept an initial offer, you should not sign anything until you have spoken with a personal injury attorney. Insurance companies will work from day one to diminish the value of your claim and pressure you to settle for less than your case is worth.

At Laureti & Associates, our team will investigate your case, uncover all potential sources of recovery, and help you get the compensation you need to recoup your losses and move forward.

Personal Injury FAQs

What Should I Do If I Am Injured In An Accident?

If an injury results from an accident, the first thing you should do is seek medical attention. Any delay in seeking medical attention could affect your health or your case. The most reasonable time frame to get to a health facility should be at least 72 hours after the injury. Ensure you inform the physician of all the underlying issues, no matter how insignificant you think they are.

Once you're treated, your next step should be obtaining legal representation. Find a professional personal injury attorney who has the requisite skills to safeguard your interests. The attorney will develop a case to prove that your injuries were a result of another person's negligence so that you can pursue compensation for your losses.

At Laureti & Associates, we will help you collect all the records and evidence regarding your accident, building the case to your advantage.

Who is liable for my injuries?

Every person has a legal duty to act in a way that doesn't cause harm to others. However, if an individual fails to act with reasonable caution and causes an injury, they are legally responsible for any resulting economic and non-economic losses.

Determining liability for your injuries can sometimes be challenging. Insurance companies will work against you to diminish the value of your claim by assigning fault to you and your actions. A San Diego personal injury attorney can fight the insurance companies so that you receive the compensation you need to pay your medical bills, make up for lost wages, and support your family.

At Laureti &Associates, our team will evaluate your case and advise accordingly to ensure you get the compensation you rightfully deserve.

When should i file a personal injury claim?

You don't have much time to file a personal injury claim. In San Diego, you have a maximum of two years to file your injury lawsuit. The clock starts ticking from the date of the event that causes bodily harm. If you fail to file a claim within this duration, you risk losing your right to seek compensation.

The statute of limitations in California is stricter if the lawsuit is against the government. If this is the case, it's advisable to consult an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. At Laureti & Associates, we will help recoup your losses within the shortest turnaround time.

Do I need a personal injury attorney?

Pursuing a succesful personal injury claim requires skill, knowledge and trial experience. You can recover damages for accidents without an attorney. However, you may receive less than what your case is worth, leaving you without the financial means to support your ongoing recovery.

At Laureti & Associates, we will work to uncover all potential sources of financial recovery, document all of your medical bills, and calculate the true value of your case to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.

I had someone run into the back of my car in February of 2020. I called Laureti Law Firm following my accident. They were very professional, always giving me updates, explained every step involved, and I was very satisfied with settlement! I highly would recommend Laureti Law to all the people I know!

Tony was the best ever. He was responsive and would answer any questions I had right away. I have had experiences with lawyers who would act like you were bothering them when you had questions. He made me feel like he was treating my case like it was his most important case. Not one complaint and I tell anyone who asks if I know an Attorney about Tony. Thank you again.
