Long Beach Accident Attorney

There is zero cost to our Long Beach clients! The Shirvanian law firm will advance all costs and invest the time and money necessary for each client’s case. When a case is “won” and a settlement or verdict is reached, Shirvanian law firm will get a percentage (on a contingency fee basis) of the case as well as their costs back. If no recovery is made, nothing is owed by the client to the law firm. Even if there are outstanding doctor bills, we can get those bills/medical liens typically waived so that the client pays nothing. It’s a win-win situation for the client because they will get excellent legal muscle and representation on their side, but do not have to pay. When a case is won, we negotiate all outstanding bills/liens down so the client’s net recovery is maximized. With our settlements, despite the amount of medical bills owed, our clients will net a sizeable portion of the settlement.

If you are injured in an accident in Long Beach, CA, and if you are not at fault for the accident, then you have a claim. Simple right? Not quite. Injuries must be caused by the accident, either 100% caused by the accident or if you have/had a prior injury it must have been made worse by the accident. This is called aggravation and/or exacerbation of a prior injury. Also relevant to this discussion is the unusually susceptible plaintiff or egg-shell plaintiff jury instruction.

Another topic relevant here is the issue of comparative fault. If the defendant crashed into you or caused you to get injured, sometimes the defense has ways to argue that you the claimant/plaintiff was “comparatively at fault” i.e. for not being careful or for you yourself violating the law, which was a proximate cause for bringing about the claimed harm or injury. These are fact-specific issues that we are happy to discuss with our clients during the consultation phase. This is another reason why you need an experienced personal injury lawyer. We are forced to play the personal injury game with the cards that we are dealt. Knowing all the facts from the accident, even the facts that may be harmful to your case is very important so we can do damage control and put forth the strongest arguments.

Minor, major, or wrongful death accidents – we can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Compensation and time to receive it depends on the injuries and what you need to (and we need to do) do to get you medically recovered before attempting a settlement. After all negotiations and once a settlement is “final,” then there still more work left to be done.

Gathering updated and final medical bills, balances, and negotiating with all the doctors/liens to reduce the bills as much as we can which will maximize the settlement.

We work efficiently with all parties, the city of Glendale, local and state authorities to get this done as soon as possible. Typically, we pay our clients within 30 days, but results vary.
