Abogado especializado en accidentes automovilísticos

Estar involucrado en un accidente automovilístico es una situación muy alarmante y confusa, por lo que no es sorprendente que muchas personas se sientan nerviosas en medio de ese contexto. Al conocer las mejores medidas a tomar inmediatamente después del accidente y en las semanas posteriores al incidente, puede estar mejor preparado para tal dificultad. Si bien aún se sentirá nervioso y alterado por la situación, estar armado con este conocimiento puede ayudarlo a tomar las mejores decisiones teniendo en cuenta sus circunstancias.

Evalúe la escena

Suponiendo que no está gravemente herido, debe evaluar la escena del accidente tanto como sea posible. Esto significa obtener información de contacto de los otros conductores involucrados en el siniestro, así como los nombres y números telefónicos de los testigos del accidente. Esto ayudará a su abogado especializado en accidentes automovilísticos, si el incidente deriva en acciones legales.

Además, intente documentar la escena. Comience tomando notas sobre lo que recuerda del accidente, mientras los sucesos siguen frescos en su mente. Si tiene un teléfono celular equipado con una cámara, también debe tomar fotografías de la escena del accidente, ya que pueden ser útiles para obtener un acuerdo justo por el accidente automovilístico. Tome varias fotografías de cualquier daño a la propiedad, así como de la escena en general.

Solicite atención médica

Incluso si no se siente herido, debe solicitar atención médica por un par de razones. En primer lugar, podría haber lesiones internas no visibles, que aún no se han manifestado con ningún síntoma. Por ejemplo, las lesiones en el cuello o la espalda pueden tardar en desarrollarse o pueden empeorar con el tiempo. Las lesiones cerebrales traumáticas (LCT), también son comunes en los accidentes automovilísticos, pero pueden tardar días o semanas en desarrollarse. Un examen médico puede detectar estas lesiones inicialmente, y lograr que el tratamiento sea menos invasivo y más exitoso.

Otra razón por la que es aconsejable solicitar atención médica después de un siniestro es porque no hacerlo puede tener un impacto negativo en un acuerdo por el accidente automovilístico. Solicitar tratamiento médico demuestra a la compañía de seguros y al tribunal civil que usted tomó medidas para limitar el alcance de sus lesiones. Sin tratamiento, sus lesiones podrían empeorar, lo que lo haría parcialmente responsable de los daños y perjuicios. Esto significa que la suma que el tribunal otorgue en su caso se ajustará (disminuirá) en consecuencia. En algunos casos, es posible que no llegue a ningún acuerdo en absoluto.

Consulte con un abogado especializado en accidentes automovilísticos

Incluso mientras recibe tratamiento médico, puede ser contactado por un tasador de seguros, que trabaja para la compañía de seguros del otro conductor. Su objetivo es conciliar el caso cuanto antes y por el menor monto posible. Por esta razón, intentarán que firme una oferta de conciliación, antes de que se conozca el alcance total de sus lesiones. Si bien esta es una forma rápida de recibir un pago, es probable que sea menos de lo que merece para cubrir todos los daños causados por el accidente.

Es por eso que debe esperar a consultar con un abogado especializado en accidentes automovilísticos, antes de considerar cualquier acuerdo. Además de las facturas médicas en las que está incurriendo actualmente, hay muchos daños y perjuicios por los cuales puede tener derecho a una indemnización. Su abogado especializado en accidentes automovilísticos también puede tratar de conseguirle dinero para cubrir los costos de los daños a su automóvil u otra propiedad y por el tiempo que se ausentó del trabajo para recibir tratamiento por sus lesiones.

Dependiendo de la gravedad de sus lesiones, puede requerir tratamiento continuo o fisioterapia a largo plazo. Si el accidente causó una discapacidad permanente, incluso puede ser elegible para recibir una indemnización por daños y perjuicios para cubrir los ingresos que ya no es capaz de percibir. En cualquier caso, es probable que su abogado también solicite una indemnización monetaria por los daños físicos y morales sufridos.

Después de un accidente, el dinero probablemente sea una preocupación, pero esa no es razón para tratar de lidiar con las complejidades de un caso de lesiones personales por su cuenta. Una consulta inicial con un abogado especializado es gratuita y le proporcionará una evaluación adecuada de su caso. El abogado no puede garantizar un acuerdo, pero puede decirle cuáles son sus mejores opciones, según su experiencia y los hechos de su caso. Si elige contratar al abogado, el mismo trabajará con honorarios de contingencia, lo que significa que no tendrá que pagarle por adelantado. En cambio, el abogado deducirá sus honorarios como un porcentaje del acuerdo. Esto hace que sea más fácil para el cliente, quien probablemente ya está luchando con las finanzas debido a las cargas causadas por el accidente.

Si sigue estos pasos después de un accidente automovilístico, puede estar mejor protegido. Garantizar su bienestar en estas circunstancias significa cuidar de su situación financiera al igual que de su salud. Al contar con la ayuda de un cuidador profesional y de un defensor legal, puede confiar en que sus intereses están siendo protegidos.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
