Car Accident Lawyers
in Los Angeles

According to recent figures from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), upwards of three million Americans are injured each year as the result of automobile accidents. For instance, though many may walk away with minor cuts or bruises that resolve in days, auto collisions frequently tend to result in far more severe personal injuries, like physical disability.

Consequently, only a qualified medical professional can determine the true extent of a personal injury. However, it is quite common for symptoms of injury to not appear until days, or even weeks, after an accident.

Furthermore, at Bedford Law Group, our local Los Angeles area residents are most important to us. Although our success on paper lies in our legal achievements, the real victories can be accounted for in the number of lives we have changed. Therefore, we focus on the human aspect of our cases and fight for those whose rights are being violated by big business and intimidating insurance companies.

Determining Actual Car Injuries

The extent of an auto accident injury may be decided by any number of factors, depending on the situation. Specifically, when an accident occurs, it is crucial to investigate the events that caused the crash. For example, some common questions to ask include:

  • Did the individual’s car get hit from the side, rear, or front?
  • Were those involved wearing a seat belt?
  • Was the occupant facing forward, or did they have their body turned?
  • Did the vehicle have deployed airbags?
  • Was the collision a high-speed or a low-speed crash?

Auto Accident Injuries

Injuries are typically classified in one of two ways: penetrating injury or impact injury. On one hand, impact injuries refer to instances where a person’s body hits parts of the car’s interior, like a knee hitting a dashboard. On the other hand, penetrating injuries involve cuts or scrapes caused by shattered glass upon impact.

No two accident scenarios are the same. Moreover, those dealing with personal injury may face severe challenges on the road to recovery, including:

Ultimately, the most important thing is to get medical assistance fast. Additionally, it is always best to contact an auto accident attorney. In Southern California, our skilled attorneys at the Bedford Law Group, APLC can assist you with finding medical care while evaluating your legal options.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Should I speak to the insurance company after an auto accident?

No, you should never provide a recorded statement or accept an initial settlement offer without speaking to an attorney first. Because insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, having Bedford Law Group handle communications protects your claim.

+ What if the at-fault driver is uninsured in California?

If you are hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may still recover damages through your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. Therefore, our attorneys can help you navigate this complex process to ensure you get compensated.
