Our client was rear-ended by another vehicle and sustained neck and back injuries, which required medical treatment. We were recovered the maximum six-figure policy limits from the at-fault driver’s insurance policy.

In vehicle accident lawsuits, the court is limited to determining who was at fault and how much in damages must be paid to the victim. If you bring an under-insured or uninsured claim against your insurance company, your insurance will not go up unless you are found to be at least 50 percent at fault. In these cases, both parties may share some responsibility for the accident, or “fault,” and a party’s comparative fault can affect the amount they recover. That is why you should never offer a statement or admit any fault to an insurance company or anyone else, until you have consulted one of our lawyers.

Never settle with an insurance company until you speak with us. Even the slightest fender bender can result in whiplash, which, over time, can manifest itself as aches and pains in various parts of the body, which you will pay for out of pocket later if you settle too soon without speaking to an attorney. We want to ensure you receive the medical compensation you deserve.

The nightclub might have violated state law or local building codes, such as failing to install sprinklers or failing to provide enough emergency exits, tthus fostering an environment prone to injury. Club security guards, themselves, might injure people.

In the case of nightclub bouncer or security guard injury, there’s often a wide swath of grey area and “he said, she said.” When bouncers or security guards use excessive force, patrons often mistakenly assume guards have more leeway to physically remove a patron than they actually do. These security guards are also frequently responsible for the safety of nightclub patrons. That’s why you need to contact an experienced Southern California nightclub negligence attorney as soon as possible after an incident. It can mean the difference in dropping or pursuing a legitimate case.
