At Hicks Law Firm, we’re dedicated to helping victims like you get the compensation they are owed. We know how hard insurance companies fight against full and fair compensation, and we’re committed to evening the playing field. Some of the tasks we take on include:
Our team has extensive experience with a variety of personal injury claims, including:
The hours and days immediately after a personal injury are very important, not just for your personal injury claim but also for your physical health. Take some time immediately after the incident to report it to the proper authorities. In many cases, this is the Irvine Police Department. However, in other situations it may be City of Irvine Animal Services, a homeowner, or an onsite manager or supervisor.
You should also prioritize seeking prompt medical care. There are many options in this area, including Irvine Urgent Care, Irvine Woodbridge Walk-In Urgent Care, Kaiser Permanente Orange County, and Hoag Hospital Irvine. Keep copies of any paperwork you receive and provide them to your attorney.
From there, talk to a personal injury lawyer in Irvine. For best results, do this before you talk to the other party’s insurance company. The more you talk to their insurance adjuster, the more likely you are to do something that could hurt your claim. Once you have an attorney, you can let them talk to the insurance company on your behalf.
Depending on the circumstances of your accident, the amount of evidence you have, the skill level of your attorney, and the severity of your injuries, you may be entitled to many types of compensation. Available compensation may include:
California also allows victims to receive punitive damages in rare circumstances. While other forms of compensation are intended to make the victim whole, punitive damages aim to punish the liable party for grossly negligent or malicious behavior.
Hicks Law Firm is here to help you navigate your legal options and pursue the fair compensation you are owed. Let’s talk about your accident and your next steps. Just reach out online or call us at 949-541-9944 to get started.
