If any kind of motor vehicle accident leaves you injured in San Bernardino, the personal injury lawyers at Levian Law may be able to help you demand financial compensation for your costs and losses.
Accidents come in all shapes and sizes in San Bernardino. From simple fender benders in crowded downtown intersections to high-speed multi-car collisions on big freeways like the 215, your day can go from bad to worse in a heartbeat. If you are fortunate enough to have survived a major accident, you are likely to have severe injuries, and even a low-speed collision can leave you injured and unable to work for a time.
Most families in San Bernardino cannot afford to lose even a few weeks of income, and when you add hospital bills and other medical costs into the equation, a simple car accident can leave you struggling for years. This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if the accident was not your fault.
Do not despair if this has happened to you just yet, however. There may be a very real chance of recovering most, or even all, of those expenses and losses. With the help of a California motor vehicle accident attorney, you may be able to make a personal injury claim to get those responsible for the accident to pay for its costs, which could be a lot more than you realize.

Who Can Make A Personal Injury Claim After A San Bernardino Accident?
In an ideal world, perhaps, anyone who is injured would have their medical costs and other losses covered after a motor vehicle accident. But this is America, and even in California, if you are responsible for your own accident, the only insurance you might be able to turn to is your own. Only if the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence can you make a claim to recover the costs and losses from the injuries it caused.
That goes for any type of motor vehicle. Whether you and the other driver(s) were in cars, trucks, motorcycles, or commercial vehicles, heck, even if you get hit with a sbX Green Line Bus driver who was acting negligently, you have a good chance of being able to recover your costs and losses from their insurance.
Negligence, however, is not always easy to prove. Sometimes, it is not clear who caused the accident, although police reports, cell phone data, and scene investigations can often help establish fault. Sometimes, though, there is no doubt at all. When a drunk driver careens into you going 60 in a 35 zone with their lights off, it is crystal clear who is responsible, and whose insurance will be paying for your injuries.
Breaking Down Motor Vehicle Accident Injury Compensation
If you have been injured in an accident in San Bernardino, you might already be feeling the financial squeeze from the injury. Any amount of financial recovery might seem like a godsend, but you might not be aware of just how much money you are entitled to recover under the law. That is why contacting an experienced personal injury lawyer is essential if you want to get the full value of your claim.
- Recover Your Medical Costs
The most obvious costs are those you have already paid, or already owe, to the hospitals, doctors, nurses, ambulances, testing centers, and physical therapists. This is why it is important to wait until you have made a full recovery as possible to make your personal injury claim after a motor vehicle accident, so that you can be sure every said you need to pay will be reimbursed.
Many families in San Bernardino may not even be able to afford the medical care needed after serious injuries, but do not let that stop you from getting it. A personal injury lawyer like Kevin Levian will be able to help you get medical care on lien, which means the doctor or medical provider agrees to be paid out of the money you get on the claim, and does not need to be paid until then.
- Get That Lost Income Back
The other obvious way in which serious injuries cost you serious money is by depriving you of much-needed income. When you are stuck in a hospital bed or just unable to perform the actions necessary for your job, you cannot earn money, which means you are losing money.
Fortunately, that money is considered a loss because of the injury, which means it can also be included in your personal injury claim. This lost income can sometimes be the most significant part of an injury claim, especially if the injury leaves you permanently disabled or unable to return to the workforce.
- Has Your Quality Of Life Decreased?
Not all of the costs associated with an accident and injury can easily be measured. You might not even realize it, but if your day-to-day life has gotten worse because of your injury, that is a real cost connected to it. For example, if you cannot do the activities you love, shooting hoops with your kids, singing in church, or if you have been struggling with pain, trauma, or the emotional consequences of the motor vehicle accident, a skilled personal injury lawyer will be able to help you claim compensation for those as well.
