From victim to victorious

If you’ve been hurt in an auto accident—or any other personal injury resulting from the negligence of another—you should contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Insurance companies make money by paying out as little as they can, and they aren’t afraid to take advantage of injury victims without legal representation.

While you have the right to represent yourself if you wish, you should also know that Lara Law Firm offers initial case reviews completely free of charge, with no obligation to hire us afterward. And even if you do hire us, we can represent you on a contingency basis, which means you pay nothing unless and until we get you money.

In short, it’s almost always in your best interest to talk to an experienced attorney up front. Even if your case doesn’t require an attorney, the free and unbiased legal advice you get from your consultation can be extremely valuable.

A few of our clients began the claims process themselves, but became confused and frustrated after getting the runaround from the insurance company—or simply could not afford the high costs of medical treatment.

Once they retained us, however, the process became far easier and far more manageable. That’s because we know the law and we know the insurance claim process inside and out. We do all the hard work, and this frees our clients to focus on recovering from their injuries.

That being said, the best time to talk to an attorney is always as soon as possible. There are critical deadlines to meet, insurance company traps to avoid, and crucial evidence may disappear if you don’t preserve it soon after the incident. The earlier you talk to us, the more likely we can help you.

It depends on the facts of your case, but damages may include past and future medical treatment, past and future lost wages, “general damages” for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and inconvenience, as well as possible “punitive damages,” which punishes a defendant whose actions were intentional or reckless.

Victims of car collisions are also compensated for the damage to their vehicle, but at Lara Law Firm, we take no percentage of your property damage recovery. You keep all of it.

Our mission as a law firm is to promote a more careful society. Thus, if you were injured by another’s carelessness, we are committed to helping you if at all possible.

It costs you nothing out of pocket to work with Lara Law Firm. Our attorney fee is taken as a percentage of any money we win on your behalf. If you don’t get paid, we don’t either.

Your initial case review is also free, whether you end up hiring us or not. So you have nothing to lose by discussing your case with us.

In other words: what matters is the righteousness of your case, not the amount of money in your bank account. You should never ever have to worry about whether you can afford a good personal injury attorney, regardless of your current financial circumstances.

Yes. Right from the start, everything you tell your attorney is protected by the attorney-client privilege and is therefore confidential. This includes any information you provide during your free consultation.

The time you have to file a lawsuit is determined by the statute of limitations. In California, the injured party generally has two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit, although this time limit can vary for different kinds of cases.

Regardless, we always urge injury victims to contact an attorney as soon as possible. While the statute of limitations might be two years, most of the evidence you need to prove your case won’t last that long. It also may take a long time to conduct a thorough investigation, recover as much as possible from your injuries, and go through a few rounds of pre-litigation negotiation with the insurance company.

So, don’t wait until the two-year deadline is right around the corner. Talk to us today.
