Los Angeles Car / Auto Accident Trial Lawyers
Unfortunately, auto accidents are commonplace, especially on California's overcrowded freeways and interstates where tens of thousands or car drivers can drive too aggressively or irresponsibly. It is also commonplace for defendants in auto accidents to deny any liability, place the blame on the victim, and/or refuse to compensate the car accident victim for the full extent of their injuries.
Automobile Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side
Auto Insurance companies have worked hard to poison the jury pool, claiming that most cases are frivolous and worth very little. The insurance industry wrongly asserts that its rates go up because there are too many lawsuits. However, lawsuits are usually filed only after the insurance company refuses to pay the victim what he deserves, or in many cases refuses to pay anything at all. Insurance companies often blame the victim for the car accident and make carefully worded false statements to jurors that a large verdict will ultimately take money out of the jurors' own pockets.
Insurance adjustors will go to great lengths to avoid paying you the compensation you deserve - even visiting your Facebook and MySpace pages to collect information about you in an attempt to diminish the value of your case.
Different states have different laws regarding what insurance adjustors can and cannot do to spy in victims, but in most states, insurance adjustors can take photographs and make videos of the victim without their knowledge. Laws are dynamic and subject to change and interpretation. For example, in February 2010, a Colorado amendment was introduced to eliminate punitive fines on insurance adjustors who illegally collect victim data to be fined.
Our car / auto accident attorneys have substantial experience dealing with insurance companies and their tactics and tricks. Our lawyers know how to effectively attack the types of false or misleading evidence an insurance company will try to present to discredit you and your case.
Our Personal Injury / Car Accident Lawyers Win Against Insurance Companies
Understanding accident reconstruction is critical to properly representing the plaintiff in litigation and at trial. Insurance companies routinely hire the same "expert" to reconstruct accidents in the light most favorable to the defendant. Invariably, the "expert's" analysis attempts to show that the plaintiff is either completely or partially at fault for the accident.
Our personal injury lawyers know exactly how to reconstruct an accident to show that the victim was not at fault and where the blame lies - with the defendant.
AlderLaw uses a highly skilled litigation graphics team to provide clear and easy to understand demonstrative evidence. Photographs or illustrations of the accident scene shows the jury exactly what happened and why the defendant was at fault. We consider visual presentation an important part in developing your case.
Auto / Car Accident Settlements and Verdicts
Our experienced car accident attorneys will attempt to settle your case quickly and fairly when possible - but when we need to go to trial, AlderLaw's personal injury attorneys have the knowledge and trial experience to win favorable verdicts in car accident lawsuits.
Most of our cases result in excess of $1 million in compensation for car accident victims or surviving family, including a $7.8 million verdict in December 2008. [Settlements and Verdicts]
