Tal vez se haya lesionado en un accidente de tráfico. Tal vez se resbaló y se cayó a causa de un camino irregular que no fue cuidada por un propietario.

Independientemente del tipo de lesión que sufra, puede tener derecho a solicitar una compensación monetaria. Si su accidente fue el resultado de la negligencia o el descuido de otra persona, es posible que se le deba una recuperación económica.

Pero, ¿cómo afecta el seguro a un caso de daños personales? Siga leyendo para descubrirlo. A continuación, examinaremos algunas de las formas en que las empresas de seguros pueden influir en la recuperación financiera en un caso de lesiones. 

Plazos de presentación de reclamaciones por lesiones en California 

Cada estado tiene un límite específico para el tiempo que puede esperar antes de presentar una demanda civil después de un accidente o lesión. Este plazo legal se conoce como «prescripción».

Según la ley del estado de California, el plazo de prescripción para los casos de lesiones suele ser de dos años a partir de la fecha del accidente. Las víctimas que no presenten una demanda dentro del plazo de prescripción de dos años serán rechazadas por el tribunal. 

Sin embargo, existen algunas excepciones al límite de dos años. Hable con un profesional legal experto lo antes posible para discutir los detalles de su caso de lesión.

La mayoría de los casos no pasan a la fase de litigio hasta después de las negociaciones de conciliación. Normalmente, un abogado negociará con el proveedor de seguros correspondiente en nombre del cliente. 

Un abogado en lesiones personales se asegurará que las negociaciones avancen lo suficientemente rápido como para que usted pueda presentar una demanda si es necesario. 

Culpabilidad compartida en California 

En California, el proveedor de seguros de la parte responsable es responsable de todos los daños que su asegurado haya causado.

Sin embargo, en California también se aplica un enfoque de «culpabilidad compartida» en los casos de lesiones. Esto también significa que si usted demanda a alguien por negligencia, pueden argumentar que usted fue responsable de su propio accidente.

Su compañía de seguros también puede hacer esta reclamación. También pueden argumentar que usted es sólo parcialmente responsable. Si usted es parcialmente responsable de sus lesiones, esto afectará al monto de recuperación financiera que puede obtener.

La regla de la «negligencia comparativa pura» de California significa que la cantidad de recuperación que se le debe se reducirá por el porcentaje de la culpa que es suya. Considera el siguiente ejemplo

Supongamos que usted sufrió una lesión en la cabeza en una colisión de tráfico porque otro conductor se saltó una señal de alto. Pero en el momento del accidente, usted conducía por encima del límite de velocidad. 

Si usted tiene el 10% de la culpa y el otro conductor el 90%, su indemnización se reducirá en un 10%. Si sus daños suman $20,000 dólares, sólo podría recuperar $18,000 dólares. Esta «norma de negligencia comparativa pura» sólo es aplicable en los tribunales de California.

Sin embargo, los proveedores de seguros pueden citar esta norma cuando intentan ofrecerle un acuerdo más bajo. Esta es una de las formas en que el seguro puede afectar a su caso de lesiones personales. 

Asegúrese de ponerse en contacto con un profesional del derecho para que negocie con la compañía de seguros en su nombre.  

Negociar con las aseguradoras 

La mayoría de los casos de lesiones personales se resuelven antes de llegar a los tribunales. Esto significa que negociar con los proveedores de seguros será uno de los elementos más impactantes de su caso de accidente o lesión.

Los ajustadores de seguros no trabajan en el mejor interés de las víctimas de lesiones. Su trabajo consiste en minimizar el monto del pago en cada reclamación que se presenta. 

Cuando un perito hace una oferta en una reclamación por daños personales, tenga en cuenta lo siguiente:

  • Las posibilidades del demandante de ganar en el juicio
  • La cuantía de los daños y perjuicios que probablemente conceda un jurado

Para determinar estos dos factores, las compañías de seguros suelen solicitar amplia información y documentación sobre el siniestro. Esto puede incluir:

  • Facturas médicas.
  • Informe de accidentes
  • Comprobante de daños a la propiedad
  • Comprobante de ingresos 
  • Declaración de impuestos
  • Entre otros

Los ajustadores se esforzarán por ofrecer el menor acuerdo posible. Intentar negociar con un proveedor de seguros sin asesoramiento legal puede afectar negativamente a su recuperación financiera.

Un representante legal experto negociará en su nombre. Los abogados expertos en lesiones conocen las tácticas de negociación que los ajustadores utilizan para devaluar las reclamaciones por accidentes.

El seguro puede afectar a su caso de lesiones personales de muchas maneras. Contratar a un abogado de confianza le dará la mejor oportunidad de recuperar la indemnización que le corresponde.

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.
