GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE

Over 15,000 car accidents in San Diego a year leave many injured and unable to pay their bills.If you’re one of them, you need Guy Levy Law – a law firm with 25+ years of experience in winning more than $100,000,000 in settlements, awards, verdicts and judgements for our accident injury clients.

Just what compensation from your auto accident are you entitled to?

1. Property damage: This includes damages to your car and other personal property.
2. Past & Current Medical Bills: If you were seriously injured in an auto accident, or even if you only suffered minor injuries, you are entitled to full compensation.
3. Future Medical Bills: You may not be fully healed, or you may have injuries that have long-term effects that need ongoing medical treatment. We are well-versed on what those may be and what their potential value is. We’ll fight for these for you.
4. Current and Past Lost Wages: If you could not work because of your injuries, you are entitled to seek recovery for any and all lost wages.
5. Future Lost Wages: While ongoing lost wages are easy to calculate, future lost wages are not. Will you be able to work next month or next year? It’s not always easy to predict. We know how to get you the maximum amount you are entitled to.
6. Pain and Suffering: This is not easy to put a value on, but here again you are entitled to compensation for any pain and suffering you have to endure as a result of your car accident whether it be physical or mental. We will seek to recover money for all the pain and suffering you have already endured, and that which you may have to endure in the future.
7. Loss of enjoyment: If you are no longer able to do the activities you once enjoyed because of your injuries, you deserve compensation.

Be careful! With one simple misstep you can lose it all.

That’s right. Even though you may be entitled to full compensation for your injury and your losses, it’s yours to lose. How so?

First, insurance companies want you to believe your injury accident case is worth less than it is.

Dealing with the aftermath of auto accidents is never easy. Complicated insurance policies and new comparative fault systems lead to increasing confusion about the rights of the car accident victim. As a result, some victims sign away a lot of their due compensation to insurance companies in exchange for a small payment, not understanding that they may be entitled to more when a negligent driver causes harm on the road.

Insurance companies often try to pay a token settlement to accident victims, but these are often not enough to even begin to pay for the expenses associated with an accident.

You don’t need to settle for less. With our expert attorneys on your side, we can help you get more.

Then there’s you. There are 20 ways you can ruin your car accident claim.

With the insurance company trying hard to give you less than you deserve, you need to try hard to not give them anything they can use against you. Here are the common mistakes accident victims make that can completely blow their case.

Mistake 1. You admitted fault.
Mistake 2. You didn’t call the police to make a report.
Mistake 3. You didn’t treat immediately or within a reasonable time.
Mistake 4. You had unreasonable gaps in your treatment.
Mistake 5. You tried to hide your pre-existing injury by telling the doctor you’ve never had pain before.
Mistake 6. You filled out a doctor’s intake sheet and said you never had neck or back pain when you did.
Mistake 7. You didn’t tell the truth.
Mistake 8. You exaggerated your injuries.
Mistake 9. You failed to report to your doctor all of your injuries.
Mistake 10. You told multiple doctors inconsistent information.
Mistake 11. You gave a recorded statement to the insurance company.
Mistake 12. Signing a medical records release form.
Mistake 13. You failed to take photographs of the evidence.
Mistake 14. You posted damaging or contradictory statements on social media.
Mistake 15. You posted on social media multiple travel photos during your case.
Mistake 16. You gave the insurance company too much information including your health insurance information.
Mistake 17. You blew the applicable statute of limitations.
Mistake 18. You waited too long to hire an attorney.
Mistake 19. Making Inconsistent statements.
Mistake 20. Not mentioning previous accidents.

DO NOT GAMBLE WITH YOUR SETTLEMENT

There is too much that can go wrong if you try to handle your case by yourself.  So we advise all car accident victims to consult with a personal injury lawyer before accepting any settlement whatsoever – and definitely before you speak to an insurance agent. The right personal injury attorney understands the legal system and their clients’ rights and can help them obtain the compensation they truly deserve versus a token settlement that does not cover their needs or acknowledge their pain and suffering. (In the event of death in car accidents, these cases may fall under the umbrella of “wrongful death,” in which case family members should seek restitution with the aid of an attorney. See our San Diego Wrongful Death Lawyer
page for more information.)
