Understanding the factors that contribute to auto collisions can help you stay safe on LA's busy roads.
Texting, phone use, and other distractions are leading causes of accidents in LA, particularly in heavy traffic conditions.
Despite strict laws, DUI accidents remain common, particularly late at night and on weekends near entertainment districts.
Excessive speed is particularly dangerous on LA freeways and contributes to more severe injuries in the event of a collision.
Though rare, rain can create extremely hazardous conditions as oil residue on roads creates slippery surfaces.

Accident victims with legal representation receive settlements that are, on average, 3.5 times larger than those without attorneys.
California's comparative negligence laws and statute of limitations require expert navigation to protect your claim.
We work on a contingency fee basis – you pay nothing unless we win your case, aligning our interests with yours.
While you heal from your injuries, we handle all communications with insurance companies and medical providers.
The steps you take immediately following a collision can significantly impact your health and potential legal claim.
Move to a safe location if possible and immediately call emergency services. Even for minor accidents, having an official police report is crucial for your claim.

Medical records create a critical link between the accident and your injuries.
Take photos of all vehicles, license plates, the accident location, traffic signs, and your injuries. Collect contact information from witnesses and other drivers.
Never admit fault or apologize at the scene.

At Yarijanian & Associates, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only collect a fee if we secure compensation for you. The fee is typically a percentage of your settlement amount, which will be clearly explained during your free initial consultation. This arrangement ensures our interests are aligned with yours—we only get paid when you do.
California follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your damages.
Our attorneys are skilled at minimizing your assigned percentage of fault through thorough investigation and strategic presentation of evidence.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including car accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. For property damage claims, you have three years. However, if your claim is against a government entity, you must file a claim within six months.
It's important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident to ensure all deadlines are met and evidence is preserved. Waiting too long could result in losing your right to seek compensation.
We strongly advise against accepting an insurance company's first settlement offer without legal consultation. Initial offers are typically much lower than what your claim is actually worth. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and may not account for future medical expenses, ongoing pain and suffering, or long-term impacts on your earning capacity.
Our experienced attorneys can evaluate the true value of your claim and negotiate for an appropriate settlement that covers all your damages, both current and future.
After a car accident in Los Angeles, you may be eligible to recover various types of damages, including:
Economic damages: Medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, property damage, rehabilitation costs, and other out-of-pocket expenses.
Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium (impact on marital relationship).
Punitive damages: In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer.
Our attorneys work diligently to identify and document all applicable damages to maximize your compensation.
