There is never a good time to be involved in a car accident. This is especially true if the car accident resulted in injury. Luckily, an experienced attorney can help make this process much easier for you, so you can focus strictly on getting better.

Below is a summary of what to expect after a car accident and how a dedicated team of personal injury professionals can make the process easier for you:

1. REPORT A CLAIM

First, the accident must be reported to the insurance carriers for both parties involved. Once a claim is made, the insurance company will provide a “claim number.” The claim number is used to identify your matter all the way through to its conclusion. You should be aware that your insurance company may require a recorded statement. If it does, and you have retained counsel, we will be on the call with you. It is critically important to have an attorney present during the recorded statement. Even though it may be with your own insurance carrier, they may try to discount your case and ask you loaded questions. Insurance companies, even your own, are never your friends. Our experienced attorneys are not fooled by this conduct and will protect you.

2. CAR REPAIR

Our team will get your vehicle to an auto repair shop and fixed as soon as possible. We understand how important your car is for your life and are determined to get you safely back on the road and in the routine of your life.

3. MEDICAL TREATMENT

Every injury case will involve medical treatment to some extent. At LA Century Law, we have a network of doctors that are on-call to see you as soon as you have been injured. We will make sure that there is no delay in getting you started on the road to getting healthy. Even if you do not have health insurance, our network of doctors will work on “lien care”. This means they advance their services in exchange for a lien on your case. Instead of you getting treatment when you can afford it or having to get care at a later time, you get it when you need it.

4. SERVE DEMAND

Once you have concluded treatment, we will compile all medical records and evidence then deliver a demand to the party responsible for the collision. If the insurance carrier accepts our demand, we can settle the case and distribute you the funds you are entitled to. If they do not accept our demand or their counter-offer is too low, we will file a lawsuit to make sure you receive full compensation for your injuries.

5. FILE LAWSUIT

Litigation is a fancy word for the commencement of an action. During litigation each side will have an opportunity to conduct discovery. Discovery is a form of evidence collection. Discovery can be completed in the form of written questions to each side or an oral deposition where attorneys have an opportunity to ask questions to each party involved in the car accident.

6. MEDIATION

Generally, once discovery is concluded, the Court may require that the parties participate in mediation to attempt to resolve their dispute. Sometimes this works, sometimes it does not. If we are not able to agree to an amount for settlement at mediation, we will need to prepare for trial.

7. TRIAL

We will have a jury empaneled and argue our case in front of the Court. Once concluded, the jury will return verdict on what they believe you are entitled to for the injuries you have sustained.

Last year I had gotten into a bad car accident that left me dazed and confused. I did a google search for the top accidental law firms and LA Century Law was first to pop up. I called and spoke with Nancy and A few others on the team. The process for me when dealing with this Firm was very amazing . From the beginning to the end of this horrible journey, The team has made me feel comfortable, heard and taken care of. I appreciate everything the firm has done for me during this horrible time. They set up all appointments in a timely manner and stayed on top of things regarding the case. Most importantly they listened to me and my concerns or just to vent. Chris and his team are amazing and definitely get the job done! I highly recommend this Firm when needing assistance with something you never asked for to happen to yourself. Great job!

I am very happy that I went with LA Century Law. I was referred to them by my spouse and they took great care of me as they did her. Thank you Karla, Maria, and the Attorney Ryan and any other staff that help on my case.

LA Century Law got me the insurance policy limits for my case with very little work on my part and the highest degree of professionalism. I switched from a different firm, and the old firm was awful. LA Century Law was responsive and friendly, and I highly recommend them.

Martine Champion

I worked with Nancy to settle my injury claim. She was professional and communicative. She made the process easy to understand and was always willing to answer my questions promptly. I would definitely recommend LA Century Law and Nancy.
