Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyers: Protecting Your Rights After A Crash

Automobile accidents are the most common type of personal injury case. Most people are not aware of the information necessary to adequately protect themselves in the event that they are in an injury accident. If you are involved in an automobile accident, it is essential to take these steps:

1. Gather evidence and essential facts
2. Protect your safety first before getting out of your vehicle to inspect the damage
3. Obtain witness information
4. Contact an attorney before contacting an insurance agent or insurance company

Insurance companies have experienced attorneys and adjusters who are trained to pay you as little as possible for the claims that they receive. At the Law Offices of Choi & Associates, our skilled attorneys fight for you to help you get the recovery and support you need.

Protecting Our Seniors

Each year, hundreds of thousands of elders are victims of neglect, physical abuse or financial abuse. California law provides protection for any person who is 65 years of age or older and any other individual who is considered a “dependent adult,” someone who has a physical or mental limitation that restricts his or her ability to carry out normal activities. (California Welfare and Institutions Code §§15610.27 and 15610.23).

Some of the warning signs for physical abuse could include bruises, pressure marks, broken bones, abrasions and burns; unexplained withdrawal from normal activities; or bedsores, unusual weight loss or poor hygiene.

Do Not Let A Fall Break You

Slip-and-fall accident cases are very common personal injury cases. The most common type of slip-and-fall case is the one where the owner of a property or business creates a dangerous condition by failing to properly maintain the property or by failing to put up warning signs as they are cleaning the property.

To prove a slip-and-fall case against an owner of a property or business, you need to prove that there was actual or constructive notice. If you are involved in a slip-and-fall accident, it is extremely important to document the dangerous condition by taking pictures right away and sending notice to the owner to preserve any videotape surveillance footage that might be available. Most digital video recorders do not store more than a week or two worth of video before erasing and recording over the old footage. Therefore, it is extremely important to contact an attorney right away to send out the proper notices.

Our Product Liability Attorneys Hold Manufacturers Responsible

Product liability cases arise from either manufacturing or design defects in a product. Manufacturing defects are ones where the product is defective as it is being assembled. For example, if a product is designed to have a safety latch but the particular product that you were sold does not have a safety latch, it is a manufacturing defect. Another example of a prior case of ours occurred when a client was using a butane gas burner, but it exploded, even though the product was being used properly.

Design defects include cases where the design of the product, for example, the failure to install a brake idle safety override in an automobile that could prevent a vehicle from accelerating out of control.

If you have been a victim of a defective consumer or medical product, it is important to preserve the evidence by keeping the defective product and contacting an attorney right away to take on your case.
