Karthik Krishnan was the second lawyer I consulted with about my case and I wish he had been the first. Upon consultation with the first lawyer, who mislead me, I made a decision that would impact my case negatively. When Karthik got involved he brought in his professionalism, intelligence and expertise with him to the Van Nuys court. Even though my case also had to do with Canadian immigration it did not slow Karthik down, he was always prepared. Karthik remembered details of my case, with immediate answers and rebuttals. He even had knowledge of the Canadian immigration portion of the case. All of which, he just knew, without shuffling through my file. Karthik was always prepared and knows the law. Even when the original judge retired in between my scheduled court date. Karthik knew when the time was right to reschedule and have my case seen by a judge who was more level headed and fair. Very thankful I hired Karthik Krishnan.

I want to say Thank you for fighting for me to have my personal injury case resolved. I appreciate the stress and success that you and your staff shared with me in resolving my case. Matt not only waived fees but continued to fight for the reductions and resolved my hospital bills. I was previously turned down by another attorney before my friend recommended your firm. In hindsight, I'm glad they turned me away and that I ended up with your firm. I will definitely call for your services when needed.

Oaks law firm gave me one of the greatest experiences ever. No one is happy having a car accident it’s not an easy process dealing with insurances and doing a bunch of he said she said. Matt the attorney and his staff were beyond amazing it was slow at times but progress was being done. Cases take time and Matt and his staff made sure all my questions were answered and if I needed help with anything. I can’t stress enough how thankful I am for choosing them as my lawyers. After a lengthy wait everything was well worth it. I wish I can say more but I just can’t they were great very great!

From the moment I contacted Mr. Nezhad's office, they were with me every step of the way. First they helped me get examined with the right people. My car was totaled in my accident and Mr. Nezhad quickly and painlessly helped me take care of replacing my car. He helped me obtain a rental and dealt with all the details. The paperwork and time I needed to spend was minimal. The area I work is different from where I live. Mr. Nezhad's office was able to find and schedule Dr and chiropractic appointments for me in both cities in convenient locations. I was very impressed they were able to find appointments for me since I work in a very very small town! Throughout the process, I was always kept in the loop with excellent communication and I could always reach someone easily when needed. Mr. Nezhad told me he would fight to get me the best settlement possible and that is exactly what he did. Hopefully no one will be in the position I was in, but it's good to know Mr. Nezhad's office is there if needed. I am very grateful for the service they provided me.

Last year I was rear ended pretty badly. The other party did not have any ins on hand at the time. I was recommended by a friend to seek out help with Bobby. He is super nice and knowledgeable. He guided me step by step of what to do. Mr Sasan was quick into getting us compensated and files any necessary paper works that would help with the case. Bobby was so understanding about my situation and even help taken me to see the pain management appointment because I didn't have a baby sitter for my one year old son that day. They sorted out the best possible out come for my case. I learned so much from them. They are very professional. I would highly recommend their service and for any one who need help after getting into an auto accident.

Sasan Okhovat is a superb attorney, he represented me in an accident case and got an outstanding result in my favor. Eventhough the case took a little longer but Sasan and his team never gave up on me. They called/email me every now and then to make sure that I'm ok and gave me the status of the case. I felt comfortable dealing with them. They care about their clients more than money. If you have to engage the services of an attorney Sasan is the one you want to have on your side, the type you can trust.

If you are reading this in search for a personal injury lawyer, stop right now and call Lou. There is one thing you need to know about Lou: he is the MAN! This was my first time ever needing to hire a lawyer, so I had no clue where to start. I knew I wanted an experienced, confident, knowledgable, unrelenting, witty, reliable, and educated attorney. I am happy to say that Lou was all of the above plus MORE. After a very painful and traumatic experience at my apartment in my first week living in Los Angeles, Lou was there to guide me every step of the way to find justice. All I wanted was to get compensated for my medical expenses, but the insurance company of the apartment complex was giving us the run around and trying to pull a fast one on us by avoiding our demands. Lou went above and beyond by tracking down the root of the problem and pressuring them to follow through on their end. I would never have been able to do any of this without him. Most lawyers surely would have given up on my case after the trouble it posed, but Lou stuck through with it and it ended up recovering all of my medical bills plus over 4 times what they cost me for pain and suffering. He is a great lawyer, a better person, and truly wants to help people. His office is immaculate, his associates are professional and prompt, and his business is a prime example of how a business SHOULD be run in SoCal. Hopefully I will never have to find myself in a situation where I need Lou again, but if something DOES happen to me, Lou is on my speed dial.

I was a passenger in a car that was rear ended. I was getting the run around from the insurance company when I tried to deal with them myself. I was very pleased with my experience with the offices of Lou Cutrone and associates. My first meeting with Lou was pleasant and since he is in the valley his office was also easy for me to get to. The team kept me informed of what issues there could be and they did turn out to be correct! I was especially happy with the responses I got when I had questions. Lou and his team were very prompt when returning phone calls and emails. I appreciate this professionalism very much. I recommend Lou and his team to anyone who is in need of a personal injury lawyer.

I am litigator and trial lawyer but I do not handle personal injury cases. For every single case I have referred to Ms. Okhovat, she delivered extraordinary results for the clients. I have seen her work firsthand: hands-on, tenacious and fierce. That's the type of personal injury lawyer you want: a lawyer who cares, a lawyer who is effective, and a lawyer who will actually do the work herself, not some mill where you will be assigned to an anonymous inexperienced case worker.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You

A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.

If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:

  • Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
  • Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
  • Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
  • Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
  • Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
  • Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?

A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
  • Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
  • Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
  • Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
  • Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?

Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.

Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
  • Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer

Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with car accident cases?
    Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. What kind of compensation can I expect?
    Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  • Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
  • Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
  • Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
  • Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
  • Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
  • Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
  • Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
  • Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
  • List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
