Murrieta Wrongful Death Attorney
A personal injury can be devastating for the entire family. Even a mild injury can leave the victim with a lifetime of pain or disability. While they should be recovering, most injury victims are worrying about how to pay the medical bills and whether they will be able to return to work. An experienced personal injury attorney can help to ease your worries and fight for the compensation you need.
At the Law Offices of Charles X. Delgado, we represent injury victims and their families in California. For a free consultation with a Temecula personal injury attorney, please call 951-795-4058 or contact us online. Personal injury cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. If we accept your case, there is no fee unless we recover damages for you.
Things to Consider After an Injury
We represent people injured in a variety of accidents, including auto and trucking accidents, and injuries received from dog bites. In addition, we represent families who have lost loved ones to wrongful death.
If you have been injured, you should seek medical treatment immediately. Then, remember these important tips. If you have not spoken with an attorney:
- Do not sign anything from your insurance company.
- Do not give a sworn statement to the insurance company or accept a settlement.
You should report the injury to your insurance company, when applicable, but do not take any other action without consulting with a lawyer first. Once you accept a settlement, you lose the right to collect further damages.
Because you usually have only one chance to file charges or receive a settlement, you do not want to settle too quickly. Some attorneys rush the process without fully examining your options. You have the right to have further medical tests done to determine the extent of your injuries. We work with doctors who specialize in injury cases, including orthopedic surgeons, psychiatrists, plastic surgeons and dentists. We can arrange an appointment with no money upfront.
Do not wait too long to file your injury claim. You have two years from the date of injury or wrongful death to file. There is a six-month statute of limitations for any claim involving a government entity. Please call us today at 951-795-4058 to schedule an appointment with a Murrieta wrongful death attorney. Your consultation is free.
