"After about a two year litigation process my case ended up going to a two week jury trial and we won, with a substantial award and favorable verdict. Not once did Steve and his team let me down, but most importantly they believed in me through the entire process. They made me feel like family."

Careful. You Can Ruin Your Case!

There are 20 ways you can ruin your personal injury claim

Personal injury legal cases in Escondido can be complex and stressful, and if you’re not careful, you can make things worse and greatly harm your chances of winning your case. In this guide, we will discuss 20 things you should avoid doing and thus increase your chances of a successful outcome and winning your personal injury case.

Remember to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney in Escondido like those here at the Elia Law Firm to ensure your rights are protected. 

Mistake 1. You admitted fault.

Never admit fault in a car or any other kind of accident even if you think you’re at fault because subsequent investigation may find you only partially at fault or not at fault at all.

Mistake 2. You didn’t call the local police to make a report.

In the case of motor vehicle accidents, in many instances the at-fault driver will try to convince you not to call the police. The at-fault driver may even tell you he or she is at fault and his or her insurance company will pay for everything. You then trust that person and don’t call the police. The at-fault driver then calls his or her insurance company and says you were completely at fault. Now you don’t have a police report with an investigation into what caused the accident and a decision as to who was at fault. You’ve now given the at-fault driver’s insurance company a reason to deny your claim or, at least, offer you much less money on your claim.

Call police after an accident

Mistake 3. You failed to take photographs of the evidence.

After a car or other motor vehicle accident, including pedestrian accidents, if you’re able to photograph the evidence, you should. For instance, if there are shards of glass from a headlight that were in the number two lane, take a photo of the shards which shows they are in the number two lane. This way, if the at-fault driver argues you came into his number one lane and crashed into him, you’ve got the evidence to prove otherwise.

The same holds true for slip and fall and other premise liability cases, construction accidents, and even dog bites. Get pictures of the surroundings and anything that might have caused the accident and your injury because they may change later and then you lost some important evidence.  

Also, many car accident victims sustain bruises over their bodies which should be photographed and preserved as evidence. This is especially important in minor impact cases where the insurance company argues your injury is a soft tissue whiplash injury. The bruising shows the severity of the trauma to the injured area.

Mistake 4. You waited too long to hire a personal injury attorney.

If you make one or more of the 20 mistakes listed in this document before you hire a personal injury lawyer in Escondido, these mistakes could significantly devalue your case. Insurance adjusters and their representatives are trained to evaluate claims. Remember, insurance companies are not in business to pay you compensation. Their goal is to maximize profits for their shareholders. You might be offered offer a quick settlement in exchange for a written release that closes your case. The offer is usually far less than what your case is worth because they don’t want you to hire an attorney so that they can pay you less money for your injuries.

An experienced personal injury attorney is in a better position to evaluate, handle and negotiate your case on your behalf. In many instances, certain laws apply when you hire a lawyer that allow you to substantially reduce your medical bills and save you money.

Personal Injury Law FAQs

The term “personal injury” is a blanket term used to describe any injury to an individual. In legal terms, personal injury is used to refer to injuries caused by the negligence or lack of care of another person. When an injury is caused by someone’s negligence, the injured person can sue for monetary compensation (damages) for pain and suffering and for any costs incurred resulting from their injuries including the time lost from work, and more. In our justice system, monetary damages are the only method of recovery to help make a personal injury victim be made whole. This is where personal injury attorneys come in to ensure the victims get all they are entitled to.

What is my case worth?

The value of your case depends on many factors. Every Escondido personal injury case is different. One factor is the nature and extent of your injury. Some people heal faster than others. One person may heal in a week, while another may take six months, a year, or may never heal from the injury. Another factor is the amount of your medical bills, future medical bills and lost earnings, etc. Talk to one of the personal injury attorneys here at (619) 444-2244 for accurate personal injury advice on the value of your case.

Our office works with a variety of doctors in the Escondido area who can provide immediate medical treatment and defer payment until the case is finished.

Yes, you are entitled to a rental car. Some insurance companies will set you up immediately with a car rental agency in Escondido without you incurring any expenses. Other companies will reimburse you for your car rental expenses in the future.

You pay us only IF we recover compensation for you through a settlement with the insurance company or a verdict through the court. If we do not recover compensation for you, you do NOT have to pay us for our time.

This depends on the extent of your injury. Typically, a Escondido personal injury case takes anywhere from two to eight months. Sometimes, cases take longer if they are more complex or if a lawsuit is filed. See our personal injury lawsuit timeline page for all the details on how long your case may take.

Not necessarily. Sometimes you are far better off without filing a lawsuit. Our personal injury law office typically files a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. We then attempt to negotiate with the insurance company. If you are dissatisfied with the insurance company’s offer, we may decide to file a lawsuit.

  • Property damage
  • Past, current and future medical bills
  • Past, current and future lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment

Putting a monetary value to each of those is what we do as personal injury attorneys for our Escondido clients, and then we fight hard to attain what you deserve. As in all personal injury cases, you are up against a behemoth in the insurance company which does not have your best interests in mind. They goal is to pay you as little as possible, and you are at a disadvantage if you try to take them on yourself. There is no need. That’s what we are here for. Let us fight the battle for you. 

We support accident victims throughout the state of California, but primarily concentrate our services in the towns and cities in San Diego County: San Diego, Escondido, La Mesa, Santee, San Marcos, Encinitas, Carmel Valley, Carlsbad, Coronado, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, National City, Solana Beach, Oceanside, El Cajon, Poway, La Jolla, Del Mar, Chula Vista and Vista.
