Personal Injury

Sustaining a serious personal injury is always traumatic, but going through the experience because of someone else’s negligence is especially distressing. If you, or a member of your family, is suffering physical, emotional, and financial pain in the aftermath of an accident caused by another party, you need more than first-rate medical care — you need the assistance of a skilled personal injury attorney to help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Not only do our attorneys have in-depth, comprehensive knowledge of personal injury law in California and outstanding credentials in the field, but we are also compassionate people who ourselves have suffered the misery of personal injury. Nothing would give us greater satisfaction than winning your case and helping you receive the damages you are entitled to.

We also handle slip and fall accidents and other premises liability cases such as dog attacks and swimming pool accidents as well as construction accidents and sports injuries. If you have been through the agony of losing a loved one to wrongful death, though we may not be able to lessen your grief, we will fight hard to bring you a measure of justice.

 

Injuries Compass Law Group Deals with Regularly

Whatever your injury, even if it is catastrophic, it is not beyond our realm. We have won numerous clients the significant amounts necessary to cover long-term care for brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and burn injuries. Our approach to your case will be both thorough and precise. We will examine police records and medical data, investigate and photograph the scene of the accident, interview any witnesses, and consult with experts in related fields, such as medical specialists or automotive engineers; if necessary, we will bring such experts into the courtroom to testify on your behalf. You can be sure we will leave no stone unturned when it comes to advocating for your right to fair compensation.

 

Damages We Can Win for You and Your Family

There are several types of damages we may be able to win for you, depending on the particular circumstances of your case. Compensatory damages are divided into economic and non-economic categories:

  • Economic Compensation reimburses you for costs related to your accident, including:
    • Medical, rehabilitative, and pharmaceutical expenses
    • Property damage
    • Lost income (present and future)
    • Long-term care
    • Alterations to make your home accessible
  • Non-Economic Compensation is designed to cover intangibles, such as:
    • Physical pain
    • Emotional suffering
    • Disfigurement
    • Permanent disability
    • Loss of consortium
    • Loss of enjoyment of life

If your personal injury has resulted from extreme recklessness, for instance involving drug-or alcohol-impaired driving, or if you were harmed intentionally or maliciously, Compass Law Group will also fight vigorously to win you punitive damages — i.e. damages designed to punish the defendant and discourage similarly abhorrent misconduct on the part of others.

 

We Will Fight for You Even If You Were Partially At Fault for the Accident

Accidents in which more than one party bears responsibility are handled differently from state to state. California works under the principle of “comparative fault” (“shared fault”) following a pure comparative negligence standard. This means that even if you were partly at fault for the accident that injured you, you may still collect damages, but the percentage of your fault, determined by the court, will be deducted from your awarded compensation.

To illustrate: if you are found to be 25 percent at fault in a car accident because you were driving over the speed limit, and you are awarded $100,000 in damages, you will receive only $75,000. In California, even if you bear most of the fault for the accident, you are still entitled to damages from the other party proportionate to that party’s percentage of liability.

 

Contact Our Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney

Once you become our client, we will dedicate ourselves to seeing that justice is done. Our goal is to see that you obtain the full amount of compensation you need to recover in comfort and restart your life on the very best terms possible.

Because there are statutes of limitations on filing personal injury lawsuits, and because it is best to gather facts before the accident site is cleaned up or repaired and while witnesses’ memories are still fresh, the sooner you contact our personal injury attorneys the better.

This list isn’t all-inclusive many personal injury suits have been raised based on different factors that aren’t included above. Our team of Los Angeles car accident attorneys can work on cases without anything out of pocket.

We’re old enough to have the necessary experience, yet young enough to use the most cutting-edge technology and tactics, and are determined enough to fight and outsmart the other side, every time.
