Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should I hire a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer?

A: If you were charged with breaking one or more California laws, you should contact a lawyer for criminal defense help immediately after the arrest. Waiting too long for legal advice could cause you to be unprepared for the first hearing of your case, especially if you’re unsure how to plead. Discussing your charges and possible penalties with a caring lawyer can ensure you understand the potential outcomes of your case before you make any decisions.

Q: How can filing a personal injury claim benefit me?

A: If someone else’s negligence caused severe injuries, you may be entitled to pursue compensation by filing a personal injury claim against their insurance company. If they don’t have insurance, you can bring a personal injury lawsuit against the individual. Either way, this lets you get financially compensated for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses commonly sustained in car accidents, dog bites, and other painful incidents.

Q: What if a family member died due to someone else’s negligence?

A: If a fatal accident caused the death of your parent, child, spouse, grandchild, or other close family member, you can pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim. This is helpful if you had to pay for the funeral, burial, and any medical bills left from the life-saving measures taken after the accident. If you relied on your loved one’s income to pay the bills, as is often the case with a spouse or parent, your wrongful death claim can request financial compensation for this loss, as well.

Q: What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?

A: Sometimes an investigation into a car accident, motorcycle crash, or other incident finds that the injured victim was partly at fault. If you’re worried about this happening, rest assured you can likely still collect compensation. This is because California is a comparative negligence state that allows victims to be compensated even if they were partly or mostly at fault. Your settlement amount will decrease by the amount of fault you had in the accident, but it should still help you pay for medical bills and other expenses.

Q: What are the differences between misdemeanor and felony charges in California?

A: If you were arrested in Los Angeles, a criminal defense lawyer can help you understand your charges, including whether they’re misdemeanors or felonies. Generally, a misdemeanor may be punished by up to $1,000 in fines and up to one year in jail, though many charges don’t lead to any jail time. By contrast, felonies can be punished by more than one year in jail or several years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines. A Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer can defend you from either charge, so call us today.
