Five Qualities of A Top Personal Injury Lawyer in California
Los Angeles personal injury attorney explains your legal rights if injured in an accident that is not your fault.
Three Things You Must Know Before You Can Resolve Any Personal Injury Claim
"Three Things You Must Know to Resolve Any Personal Injury Claim", explained by Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, Steve Sweat.
- Q. Not at fault accident
- A: You should check your own auto insurance policy and determine if you have uninsured motorist coverage. It is required for all policies issued in California unless you specifically waive it in writing. An attorney would still be beneficial to assist you with the uninsured motorist claim.
- Q. A car pulled up infront of me causing me to crash into his car with my e-scooter but he just drove off. What should I do
- A: Did the driver stop and provide their information? It sounds like they were negligent and you have a claim against them. You should seek prompt medical attention and retain an attorney if you have their information.
- Q. Hello this morning my car was broken into and two of my windows are broken and I park inside my apt area parking…
- A: This is a tough one. Technically, if you put the landlord on notice that the gate was broken prior to the car break in, you may have a claim for negligence but, it will be difficult. Your best bet may be to ask them to pay for the damages or take them to small claims court. You would not need an attorney for a small claims case.
