Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Los Angeles

To have a valid personal injury case, you generally need to establish that: (1) another party owed you a duty of care, (2) they breached that duty through negligence or intentional actions, (3) their breach directly caused your injury, and (4) you suffered actual damages (medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc.).

During your free consultation, our attorneys will evaluate the specific details of your situation and help determine if you have a strong case worth pursuing.

At Yarijanian & Associates, we work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. This means you pay no upfront fees or costs, and we only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you. Our fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or verdict amount, which will be clearly explained during your initial consultation.

This arrangement ensures our interests are aligned with yours—we're motivated to secure the maximum possible compensation for your case.

In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However, this timeline can vary based on the specifics of your case:

• Claims against government entities must be filed within six months

• Medical malpractice claims have different timelines

• Cases involving minors may have extended deadlines

It's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury to ensure your right to compensation is protected.

Depending on your case, you may be eligible to recover several types of damages, including:

• Economic damages: Medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and other out-of-pocket expenses

• Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium

• Punitive damages: In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct

Our attorneys work diligently to identify and document all applicable damages to maximize your compensation.

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case varies significantly depending on several factors, including:

• The complexity of the case and severity of injuries

• Whether liability is clearly established or disputed

• The willingness of insurance companies to offer fair settlements

• Whether the case goes to trial

Simple cases might settle in a few months, while complex cases could take one to two years or longer. We'll provide realistic timeline expectations based on your specific situation and keep you informed throughout the process.
