Each case is handled with close attention to detail and a deep commitment to protecting clients' rights. Ms. Choe’s goal is to ensure that clients receive the medical care, financial support, and legal results they need to move forward after an unexpected injury. 

 

Understanding If You Have a Personal Injury Case 

Not every accident gives rise to a valid legal claim. In California, a successful personal injury case generally includes the following elements: 

  1. Duty of Care: The at-fault party had a legal responsibility to act safely or reasonably. 
  2. Breach of Duty: That duty was violated, often through negligence or recklessness. 
  3. Causation: The breach directly caused injury or harm. 
  4. Damages: The injured person suffered measurable losses, including medical expenses and lost income. 

 

Ms. Choe carefully evaluates each case to determine whether the legal criteria are met and builds a strategy focused on maximizing compensation. 

 

What To Do After an Accident in La Palma 

If you have been injured: 

  • Seek immediate medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. 
  • Document everything, including photos of the scene, witness contact information, and any official reports that may be relevant. 
  • Avoid speaking with insurance companies until you have consulted an attorney. 
  • Contact Ms. Choe to preserve evidence and protect your legal rights. 

 

It is essential to act quickly. In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident date. Some exceptions, such as claims involving public entities, may have shorter deadlines. 

 

What Compensation Can You Receive After an Injury? 

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. This can include: 

  • Medical Expenses: Coverage for past, current, and future treatment 
  • Lost Wages: Income lost due to time away from work 
  • Loss of Earning Capacity: If your ability to work is permanently affected 
  • Pain and Suffering: Physical pain and emotional distress 
  • Property Damage: Such as vehicle repairs in auto accident cases 
  • Wrongful Death Damages: Funeral costs, loss of companionship, and more (for surviving family members) 

 

Every case is unique, and the exact amount of compensation depends on the severity of the injury and its impact on your life. Ms. Choe works diligently to ensure her clients receive the full and fair compensation they deserve.

자세히 알아보기
  • How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

    You have a valid personal injury claim when you were injured in a car accident caused by another driver's negligence.  

  • What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in California?

    In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the injury. This means you have two years from the date the accident or incident occurred to file a lawsuit in court.  

  • How is negligence determined in a personal injury case?

    To win a negligence claim, you must prove that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries and damages.  

  • What happens if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance?

    If you have UM (Uninsured Motorist) coverage under your own policy, it steps in to cover your damages when the at-fault driver is uninsured. Think of it as your own insurance company compensating you as if the other driver had insurance.   

  • Can I still file a personal injury claim if I was partly at fault for the accident?

    California follows a comparative negligence system. This means that even if you contributed to the accident, you can still recover damages, but your award will be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.
