Were you recently involved in an automobile accident that was caused by someone else's negligence? If so, you may be able to file a personal injury claim and be entitled to compensation. At Spiering, Swartz & Kennedy, the team of attorneys has over 100 years of combined legal experience, and believes that their clients should not be held responsible for the injuries and damages that were caused by someone else's wrongdoing. Vehicular collisions are one of the most popular causes of personal injury claims in the United States, especially because of the number of distracted drivers on the road. All too often, individuals drive recklessly, speed, or are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Many people believe that personal injury leads to physical pain only, but it can also lead to damages, emotional trauma, medical bills, and lost wages.
In some circumstances, car accidents can result in death. If you lost a loved one due to a reckless or negligent driver, the firm may be able to assist you in filing a wrongful death claim. Although no amount of compensation can make up for the loss of a loved one, it can at least help to restore justice and to cover expenses including funeral costs, hospital bills, and loss of income. Due to California's statute of limitations, you only have two years to file a personal injury claim from the date that your injury occurred. This is why it is beneficial to contact the firm as soon as possible after your injury occurs, so they can immediately begin building your case. In addition, insurance companies often try to get personal injury victims to settle for an amount of compensation that is significantly less than what they deserve. When an individual works with Spiering, Swartz & Kennedy, and the lawyers will work tirelessly to make sure this does not happen.
