If you have been bitten by a dog in California, you need a dog bite attorney. All too often, victims believe that they can handle their claim themselves, or that there is not much an attorney can do to help. This could not be further from the truth. Read on to discover seven ways an attorney can help your case and then contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free legal consultation.
- We Can Explain Your Legal Rights and Options You have various legal options – and you have rights – after you have been involved in a dog bite accident. Do not take any action until you fully understand these rights and options. Your attorney can help you understand.
- Gather Evidence Do you know what evidence is required to win your case? Not only will your attorney know how to collect evidence from the scene, eyewitnesses, etc., but they will have access to expert witnesses that can help build a case.
- We Can Make Sure You Get Proper Medical Care The most important thing for you is to get the medical care you need. At Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas we can make sure you do that. This not only helps prevent medical issues for you down the road but it helps us build a strong personal injury case. If you do not get medical care or do not follow up on that care, the insurance company can argue that your injuries were only severe because you did not get appropriate medical care.
- Set up Plastic Surgery Evaluations With our experience in personal injury cases, we have relationships with the best plastic surgeons. WE can set up a plastic surgery medical-legal evaluation that will give you information about treatment to prevent or correct any scarring you have experienced.
- Assess and Estimate Your Damages How can you possibly negotiate a fair settlement with an insurance company if you do not know how to value damages? Economic damages, such as hospital bills, are easy to estimate because you can simply look at what you were charged. Noneconomic damages, such as loss of earning capacity and pain and suffering, require the help of an attorney.
- Negotiate a Fair Settlement We will work to get the insurance provider of the at-fault party to offer a fair settlement. If they do not do so then we will aggressively negotiate until they offer something that you can accept.
- We Can Litigate Your Case In the event they will not agree to a reasonable settlement, we can take your case to court. If we do this, we will do it on a contingency basis which means you do not have to pay any upfront attorney fees – your legal fees will come out of the settlement we win you. If we do not win a settlement then you do not owe us any legal fees. Call Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 now to get started.
