At The Ledger Law Firm, we believe personal injuries deserve caring, dedicated legal counsel that helps victims recover the compensation needed to heal and receive justice. If you or a loved one has been injured in Torrance or Los Angeles County, we are here to help you pursue the compensation that may be owed to you.
In 2015, more than 80,000 victims were killed or injured in Los Angeles County. Nearly 1,000 of those injuries and deaths were suffered in Torrance alone. Stanford research shows that more than 9 in 10 car accidents are at least partly caused by human mistakes, meaning it is almost an assured certainty that the majority of these accidents were caused by human negligence that warrants legal compensation for the accident victims.
Often, the compensation that these victims deserve is significant, which is why it is a mistake to accept an insurance company’s settlement offer prior to speaking with a Ledger Law personal injury attorney in Los Angeles County.
Don’t Settle for Less Than Your Legal Claim Is Worth
Did you know that the economic impact of traffic accidents nationwide is such that nearly $1 trillion in costs are incurred annually? While this figure may be impossible to truly fathom, the fact remains that the harms inflicted on car accident victims may be worth millions of dollars in compensation.
Insurance companies know this fact all too well, yet they have a business incentive to protect their own financial interests. The end result of this reality is that accident victims will often receive settlement offers from the insurance company that are worth much less than the true value of their legal claim.
Ledger Law puts national resources to use in order to make sure victims are fairly compensated for their injuries after a thorough investigation. We will gather the evidence needed to fairly negotiate with the insurance company to make sure you receive an offer that is in your best interests, not the business-oriented interests of the insurance company.
California Is a Comparative Negligence State, So Never Assume You Have No Claim Because of Your Legal Fault
All too often, accident victims make the mistake of assuming that they cannot receive compensation. This incorrect assumption is often based on the victim’s belief that they caused the accident and, therefore, are not entitled to money for their injuries.
First, this assumption may not be true factually. Defective brakes and similar factors may have been involved that, after a full investigation, reveal you are not legally at fault. Second, even if you are partly at fault, California’s comparative negligence standard says you can still receive compensation, so long as someone else also bears some share of legal responsibility for the accident.
In short, don’t sell your legal claim short by making assumptions without talking to a Torrance personal injury attorney at Ledger Law. Contact us online today to discuss your Torrance accident claim and take steps toward receiving the compensation you need.
