Loss of Earning Capacity

What Can Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers Do for Me?
The actions which our personal injury attorneys will take will depend upon what type of case you have as well as what step we’re on in terms of handling your case. Some activities which we make undertake and how they will positively impact your case are:
Evidence Gathering
We will gather evidence in order to support your claim. This might involve obtaining an incident report or a police report. We might track witnesses down and get statements from them. We might hire a photographer to photograph the accident scene or an accident report. We might retain evidence regarding your case, like camera footage, property damage or additional evidence.
The evidence we gather might establish who is liable for your accident as well as the extent of damages which you suffered. Evidence might include things like property damage reports, employment reports, employment documents, bills, medical records and medical reports.
Negotiations and Communications
Negotiating is not usually part of the average person’s daily life. On the other hand, our personal injury attorneys are used to performing negotiations with at fault parties’ insurance companies. We can review policy details and figure out the maximum possible compensation available based upon your specific case’s circumstances. Our attorneys can handle all negotiations and communications with insurance companies for you, preventing you from doing things that could jeopardize your claim, like giving recorded statements.
Sending out Demand Letters
After we perform a thorough investigation of your claim, we will send a demand letter to the at fault party’s insurance company. Demand letters state accident facts, demanding financial compensation for the damages you suffered as a result of your accident and injury.
Preparation of Pleadings
If the at fault party’s insurance company does not want to offer you a fair settlement, we will prepare a legal complaint against the at fault party. This complaint will establish legal arguments covering why the at fault party is financially liable for your accident and damages. The complaint will also cover what damages you are seeking compensation for.
The at fault party will typically have 30 days after receiving this complaint to answer it.
Handling the Discovery Process
We may initiate the process of discovery. This will include sending interrogatories to the at fault party in order to ask for specific information. This can also include depositions of experts, witnesses and parties.
Representing You in Court
Almost all of our cases end up setting out of court because we have a reputation with insurance companies – insurance companies generally know it’s a bad idea to take us on in court. However, if your cases proceeds to a trial, we will represent you in court. We are familiar with the customs and procedures in court and can make sure they are followed carefully.
Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Tulare?
If you have been injured in Tulare, there is no technical requirement for you to hire a lawyer before filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries. However, if you don’t hire a lawyer, you’ll only be able to recover a small fraction of the compensation you’d be able to recover with a lawyer. Studies show that injury victims who hire attorneys end up recovering far more financial compensation for their injuries that injury victims who don’t hire attorneys, even after attorney fees are factored into the equation.
Most personal injury victims do not end up recovering compensation directly from the at fault party. Instead, most personal injury victims end up recovering compensation from the at fault party’s insurance company.
Under California law, when someone injures someone else via negligence, the at fault party is financially liable for all damages the injured party suffers, such as medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, etc.
However, since it’s usually not the at fault party directly paying for these things but rather their insurance company, what this means in effect is that the at fault party’s insurance company is obligated to pay the injury victim for all damages they incurred up to the policy limits.
This obligation can only be enforced through the civil court system, though. In other words, if an insurance company is refusing to offer you what you’re entitled to for your injuries, instead offering you only a tiny low ball offer, the only way you can force them to pay you what you’re actually entitled to is to file a lawsuit over the low ball offer and win that lawsuit.
Of course, insurance companies have a lot of money, so they can hire very good lawyers to represent them in court. This means you can’t beat them in court if you don’t have a lawyer of your own. The insurance company knows you can’t beat them in court if you don’t have an attorney of your own. So, if you’re not represented by an attorney, the insurance company is simply going to offer you a very tiny settlement offer and dare you to sue them in court over the offer, knowing you can’t possibly beat them in court without a lawyer.
However, the game completely changes once you have a lawyer, especially an experienced lawyer with a track record of success like the lawyers at Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers. Insurance companies have files on injury lawyers. When they receive a letter saying that we represent you, they will look at their files on us and see that when we go to court, we win. They will realize that now that we represent you, they have two choices:
- Pay you what you’re entitled to
- Take us on in court, lose, pay you what you’re entitled to anyway and pay expensive legal fees
Virtually all of our cases settle out of court because it’s less expensive for insurance companies to pay our clients the full amount they’re entitled to than it is for insurance companies to take us on in court.
It’s Dangerous for You to Talk to Insurance Companies
Another reason it’s very wise for you to hire a lawyer if you’ve been injured in an accident is because insurance companies train their adjusters to trick injury victims like yourself into saying things which will allow them to pay you less money or no money at all. Insurance adjusters are trained to convince you to give a recorded statement, then, while you’re being recorded, manipulate you into saying things that imply you were at fault for your accident or that your injuries are not as bad as you are claiming them to be.
Insurance adjusters are very skilled at tricking you into saying these things. It’s very easy for you to say these things even if you’re aware ahead of time they’re trying to trick you into saying them. As an example, an insurance adjuster could ask you how you are doing, and if you reflexively respond “fine,” they can claim this is evidence you’re not hurt badly. As you can see, they can skillfully twist any tiny little thing you say into something they can take advantage of.

Is There a Time Limit to File an Injury Claim in Tulare, CA?
Yes. Most injury victims in Tulare, CA will have two years from the date of their accident to file a claim due to California law. This time limit is known as a statute of limitations and has some exceptions.
Some exceptions to this time limit lengthen the time limit, but, importantly, some exceptions shorten it. One notable exception involves cases where a government entity is partially or completely liable for your injuries. An example of such a case would be if you were injured in an accident due to a dangerous condition which a local government was responsible for.
If a government entity is liable in your case, you’ll only have six months from the accident date to file a claim.
Failure to file your claim in time can forever bar you from recovering compensation for your injuries. In addition, even if you file your claim on time, you should not expect the best possible results if you wait until the very last minute to file your claim.
