Who better to understand the struggles you are facing after a car or motorcycle accident in Riverside than a personal injury lawyer like Kevin Levian, who has survived one?
Riverside, like so many areas of California, is crisscrossed with roadways large and small. Each of which, though we rarely think about it, presents a very real danger of serious injury each and every day. Car wrecks, motorcycle accidents, truck collisions and motor vehicle accidents of every kind are a daily occurrence due to the sheer volume of drivers on the road.
If you have been injured in such an accident, you already know how much they can throw your life off-course, or how deadly they can be if you lost a loved one to one. Kevin Levian, tragically, felt both pains. In 2008, a drunk driver careened into his car, killing his younger brother and putting him in intensive care with a head injury for months.
While the accident put a hold on his legal career for longer than anyone would have wanted, he returned to it with a fierce determination to help anyone who had found themselves in a similar situation: struggling with a slow recovery, fighting an insurance company, or unable to work due to an injury. His goal is to ensure that no one else has to feel lost or alone after an accident, so he leverages his legal skills and experience to serve the needs of injury victims in Riverside and throughout California.
It is hard to overstate how much of a difference it can make to have someone who understands what you are going through after a motor vehicle accident. But that difference is multiplied by ten when they are an experienced personal injury lawyer.
Injuries cost money, directly, in terms of the medical costs you have to pay for care, diagnostics, treatment and physical therapy, and indirectly, through the impact of an injury on your income and ability to work. When you combine that with the emotional burden of pain, suffering and the loss injuries can bring to your quality of life, the impact of an accident can quickly become overwhelming.
When those accidents are caused by a drunk driver, distracted motorist, tired trucker or anyone else’s negligence or recklessness, they (and their insurance), not you, should be the ones to pay those costs. To do so, you will need to make a personal injury claim against them, however. Unfortunately, such claims can be difficult, which is where the help of a personal injury lawyer becomes vital.
After any severe motor vehicle accident, a personal injury claim can help you recover the costs and losses connected to the accident. But there are several barriers to the recovery process. Barriers that Kevin Levian had to overcome after his accident, which he now helps Riverside accident victims like you avoid or overcome in turn.
Sometimes, the biggest barrier to a fair recovery after an accident in California is the very company responsible for paying for it. Their profits are based on paying out only the bare minimum, and they are not afraid to take advantage of inexperienced or naive injury victims.
For example, they might try to offer a small initial settlement before you realize the extent of your injury, or they might ask innocuous questions while speaking on the phone, hoping to record an answer that will undermine your claim. Other strategies include trying to put the blame for the motor vehicle accident on you or claiming that your injuries were caused by a previous incident.
A personal injury lawyer will protect you and your claim against such insurance company tactics.
As a motor vehicle accident injury victim, it is all too easy to deprive yourself of compensation without even realizing it. If you fail to include something you should have in your claim, you will not be compensated for it, nor will you be able to claim it again later. While you are probably all too aware of the pressing medical bills you need to pay, there are other, less obvious costs you might not be aware of.
For example, you are unlikely to know how to calculate the economic harm from being unable to work for longer than a few weeks, or how to estimate the cost of a disability on future earning potential. You might not even realize that your trauma, pain, suffering, and any decrease in the quality of your daily life can also be included.
A personal injury lawyer will be able to help you estimate and prove such costs to make sure you get a fair amount of compensation for your injury.
