There are few things more injurious to a person than physical, mental or emotional damage. The legal system handles damage to an individual separately from damage to property. Damage to your body, your mind, or your emotions, falls into a category of law called Personal Injury.

Since we spend so much of our lives in cars, many Personal Injury cases are the result of automobile collisions. These are easily identified events that happen quickly, and often violently. However there are many other personal injuries that are less easy to identify. Some of these injuries occur over a long period of time, or may be due to hidden environmental causes.

Repetitive-motion injuries can often result from workplace conditions, may take months or years to become painful, but may require expensive surgery and rehabilitation to treat. Similarly, side-effects from foods, beverages, and medicines we consume may not be immediately obvious, but may become serious over a period of time.

If you find you are suffering from a condition caused by the actions of another person, or manufacturer, or environmental hazard, you may benefit from the help of a Ventura Personal Injury Attorney or Personal Injury Attorney in Oxnard .

When a person is in physical pain, or suffering emotional trauma, it often difficult to deal with the complex and time-consuming details required to seek the personal relief needed, and claim the financial relief that may be due.  The strongest claims for relief, and damages, are made when details of an injury are meticulously documented and well-organized records are compiled.

This is just one of the benefits of involving the expertise of an injury attorney. At a time when you are experiencing pain, distraction, and disruption to your life, the attorney’s staff takes on the task of building the case that can aid in your recovery.

Another reason to seek the help of a Ventura injury attorney is that the party who is responsible for your injury is probably already represented by an attorney, or possible a whole team of attorneys. If your injury resulted from an automobile accident, there may be several large insurance firms involved, each with its own team of lawyers. If your claim is against a manufacturer or employer, their legal departments may be formidable.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

One of the most common issues that a personal injury attorneys here in Oxnard and Ventura deal with is delay. Insurance companies have many techniques they employ to delay cases, and thereby delay paying out money. If you are the victim in an accident, or instance of negligence, there is no delay for you, the pain and suffering begin immediately. However insurance companies know that as time goes by, it becomes more difficult to establish the true cause of an injury, especially in cases where an injury may have occurred over a long period of time.

In other words, while you are suffering from injuries sustained in an accident, the insurance company may be delaying as long as possible, hoping to make it difficult for you to prove your case.

There are other good reasons to seek the assistance of a personal injury attorney. If you have worked for your employer for a long period of time, your own personal sense of loyalty may prevent you from dealing with an issue effectively.  Your attorney can deal with the facts of your case without the emotional constraints that may result from years of personal involvement.

Remember, the facts of your case may not even be apparent to you. Lawyers will use the vast resources available and extensive knowledge of the law, to best represent your position.

You may feel alone, injured, and abandoned, but your case may not be the first of its kind. Many injured parties learn, through research by their attorneys, that a pattern of negligence has existed may already have resulted in prior similar cases being settled. Some extensive patterns of negligence result in settlements on behalf of huge groups of claimants

Finally, many injury cases are handled on a “contingency” basis by law firms in Ventura and Oxnard. This means that there is no financial burden on you, the client, during the course of the case. Your attorney’s fees are “contingent” upon a settlement being reached, at which time your attorney will be paid a pre-determined percentage of that settlement.

This kind of fee arrangement makes it possible for the average citizen to retain professional legal help, even at a time when their family, career and lifestyle may be threatened by a debilitating injury.

An initial consultation with a Personal Injury attorney is the first step to take, if you believe your injuries are the fault of another, or if you need help getting the relief that you have been promised. There is nothing to lose in seeking an opinion and everything to gain….because your health and well-being mean everything.

  • I was hit by a drunk driver. My insurance company paid for all of my medical bills that were related to the accident. A year later I had another surgery related to the accident and I've had nothing but problems with the insurance company paying my bills. I had the nursing bill sent to collections on me and a judgment against me and after that they paid that bill. Then, I spoke to one attorney who sent a certified letter to them to pay the $13,000.00 in medical bills or I would sue them. They paid all but $1,160.00 of those bills and nothing since. I then was told by my surgeon who is 150 miles away to go to my family doctor immediately, because I was showing signs of a blood clot in my leg. They did x-rays and ultrasounds on both legs to see if there was indeed a blood clot and the results were damage in my knees at the sight of both surgeries. The insurance company paid for the doctor visit, the x-rays, but not the ultrasounds. Now, my bills are up to, $1,821.03. I tried sending a letter with the recent bill to resubmit but, that was 3 weeks ago and I got no response. I've spoken to several different attorneys but, because the amount is $1,821.03 it's not enough to waste their time but yet I'm the one receiving bad credit because they don't want to pay. I work part time at the post office and can't afford to pay these bills myself. If I have to I can certainly try but, that's not my point. Aren't they responsible for all medical treatment that is related to the accident? If so, what do I do??? They won't pay or answer my letters. Please help. I'm supposed to get the screws out of my knee 6 months ago but, the insurance company still hasn't paid from when they were put in.
  • I fell last May as a result of an unmarked curb. It happened at about 10pm, so it was dark outside. I sustained a knee injury which I will know more about soon. The insurance company for the college where I work say that they are not liable even though I was attending classes at the time of the incident. I have a witness who was walking with me the night of the accident. The director of Campus Safety at the college was notified shortly after the incident and chose not to make a report. My teacher and classmates saw my black and blue knee after it happened. I'm really scared about my situation.
