Car Accident Attorney

Visiting the land of Hollywood? Be careful how you walk around, as there are many motor vehicles and crazy drivers in Los Angeles.

Statistically speaking, in 2016 there was a total of 55,350 traffic collisions, which was 7% more than in 2015, and 20% more than in 2014. In July 2017, there were already 14% more traffic accidents than in July of 2016. The numbers keep growing, as more attention is brought to traffic and accidents related to it.
So, if you ever get involved (or already took part) in an accident in Los Angeles, involving a car, truck or a bike, here are the things you should do without hesitation.

Seek immediate medical attention

The first thing you should do is receive proper medical care. Your health is of the highest importance, and once you are properly treated, you can deal with everything else. Make sure you visit a good doctor, and don’t worry about paying the bills. If you were not the one who caused the accident, you may be eligible to receive fully paid medical care, or at least a full compensation for your medical bills.
If you get in touch with one of our Car Accident Attorneys in Los Angeles, we will help you find a doctor who will not charge you anything until you receive full compensation for your injury.

Don’t settle for the initial compensation

If you were not responsible for causing the injury, but were a victim, you should not accept any initial form of compensation offered by the offender’s insurance company. Also, do not agree to a recorded statement with them, as they will offer you less than you deserve.
Instead, give JML Law a call. We will do a full evaluation of your case, and once that is established, you can negotiate with the insurance company peacefully, or bring them to trial. We will be here to support your case and your legal rights. Make sure you give us a call as soon as the accident happens.

Discover your options

From the moment you partake in a car accident, you have to think about your options. There are many questions that will require answers: What should I do in case of a permanent injury, is my case worth anything, who will pay for my medical bills, is there a punishment for the person held responsible, how will I go back to work now and what will happen to my lost wages.
There are many questions, and the only way to find proper answers is to speak to the experienced Car Accident Attorney in Los Angeles. The attorneys at JML Law will help you navigate through the complicated process, and pursue your maximum compensation.
Give JML Law a call as soon as you take part in an accident, and we will evaluate your case. Schedule your initial free consultation today, and find out how much your case is worth and how you can collect your compensation.

You Survived A Deadly Car Crash. Here's Why.

Life flashing before your eyes, you begin your sideways tumble down a rocky embankment.

In a Car Accident with Uninsured Driver? Here’s What You Should Do

It’s illegal to drive without insurance policy in Los Angeles and all across California. In the state, the law requires all drivers with California license plates to have a car insurance liability policy with any of the following coverages: $15,000 for injury/death to one person; $30,000 for injury/death to more than one person; $5,000 for damage to property. Despite the seemingly strict laws, many car drivers in California find ways to get around the law. In fact, estimations from the California Department of Transportation says that approximately one in seven car drivers in California is uninsured.
