Los Angeles Abogados de Lesiones Personales

Riesgos de lesiones en Los Ángeles

Los Ángeles es la ciudad más poblada de California y la segunda de Estados Unidos. Con casi 4 millones de habitantes y millones más de visitantes cada año, Los Ángeles bulle constantemente de actividad y, por desgracia, de accidentes.

Desde accidentes de tráfico en la 405 hasta caídas en Hollywood Boulevard, los accidentes pueden ocurrir en cualquier lugar de esta extensa metrópolis. Los destinos populares y las zonas de mucho tráfico suelen registrar índices más elevados de incidentes con heridos. Tanto si se desplaza por el centro de la ciudad, como si pasea por Venice o hace turismo cerca del Paseo de la Fama, un descuido momentáneo de otra persona puede cambiar su vida en un instante.

Entre los puntos y destinos habituales de los accidentes se incluyen:

• Downtown Los Angeles. Heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic around Union Station, the Civic Center, and Grand Park increases risk.
• Hollywood Boulevard & Walk of Fame. Slip and fall accidents are common due to uneven pavement and high foot traffic.
• Santa Monica Pier & Venice Beach. Bicycle collisions, pedestrian accidents, and rideshare incidents frequently occur.
• LAX and surrounding highways (105, 405, 10). Rideshare pickups and traffic congestion contribute to a high rate of motor vehicle accidents.
• Popular roadways. Sunset Boulevard, Mulholland Drive, Wilshire Boulevard, Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), and Laurel Canyon Boulevard are all common sites for vehicle crashes.

Si sus lesiones sucedieron mientras que trabajaba, conduciendo, caminando, o gozando de un día hacia fuera en L.A., la ley de lesión de Silva está aquí ayudarle a recuperarse con cuidado y a resolver.

Los Angeles’s constant motion means that accidents often involve multiple parties. Rideshare drivers, delivery vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists all share the roads. Our attorneys understand how complex liability can become in these environments. We work to identify every responsible party and preserve evidence before it is destroyed or disappears. We’ve handled claims involving Uber and Lyft collisions, unsafe construction zones, and poorly maintained public property, all of which can lead to serious harm.

Common Personal Injury Cases We Handle

As a Los Angeles personal injury law firm, we frequently assist clients who have been injured in other ways, such as by unsafe premises, dog attacks, or negligent security.

The city is also home to countless businesses, apartment complexes, and entertainment venues that have a duty to maintain safe conditions. When property owners cut corners on safety, serious slip and fall, trip and fall, or assault-related injuries can occur.

We also handle injury cases involving defective products, construction site accidents, and intentional harm such as assault or sexual violence. Each case requires careful investigation and an attorney who can uncover who was responsible and why.

Our team represents clients in nearly every type of personal injury matter, including:

• Car accidents—caused by distracted, impaired, or speeding drivers;
• Truck accidents—involving commercial vehicles, 18-wheelers, or delivery trucks on Los Angeles freeways;
• Motorcycle accidents—frequently result in catastrophic injuries due to limited protection;
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents—especially in congested areas like Downtown, West Hollywood, and Santa Monica;
• Dog bites and animal attacks—can lead to infection, scarring, and long-term trauma;
• Premises liability and slip and fall accidents—caused by unsafe flooring, poor lighting, or lack of maintenance;
• Work-related injuries—not including workers’ compensation claims, but cases involving third-party negligence, unsafe conditions, or defective equipment;
• Wrongful death cases—brought by families after the loss of a loved one; and
• Sexual assault and abuse cases—we help survivors hold perpetrators and negligent institutions accountable.

Each case begins with compassion, communication, and a thorough investigation. We gather police reports, medical records, surveillance footage, and expert testimony to build a strong claim for the full amount you deserve.

We also understand that no two injury claims are the same. Whether you’re dealing with a car crash on the 10 Freeway or a slip-and-fall at a restaurant on Melrose Avenue, we tailor our approach to your unique situation. Our LA personal injury attorneys take the time to explain every step, answer your questions, and prepare you for what to expect.

¿Qué indemnización puede recibir tras una lesión en Los Ángeles?

When someone else’s negligence causes serious injury or the loss of a loved one, California law allows you to seek financial compensation for your physical, emotional, and financial losses. Silva Injury Law, led in Los Angeles by seasoned trial attorney Evan Garcia, is here to help you recover everything you’re entitled to—whether through a settlement or at trial.

Daños económicos

These are measurable, out-of-pocket losses you’ve experienced due to your injury, including:

• Past and future medical bills,
• Lost wages and future earnings,
• Costs to replace or repair damaged property,
• Home care and household assistance,
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy, and
• Funeral and burial expenses (in wrongful death cases).

These damages aim to make you financially whole again. They account for both current costs and future losses you may face because of your injury. Our experienced Los Angeles personal injury attorneys can also work with economists and medical experts to calculate your lifetime care needs, projected lost income, and rehabilitation expenses.

Our attorneys also handle cases involving catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, and severe burns. These cases require an understanding of long-term care needs. They also often involve negotiations with multiple insurers. We know how to document every loss and fight for results that reflect your actual recovery costs.

We also help clients recover compensation for future needs such as prosthetics, home modifications, therapy, and vocational retraining. Our goal is to secure immediate relief and lasting stability for you and your family.

Daños no económicos

Reflejan el impacto personal y humano de tu lesión, cosas que no vienen con recibos pero que siguen siendo muy importantes:

• Pain and suffering,
• Angustia emocional,
• Loss of enjoyment of life,
• Cicatrices o desfiguración, y
• Loss of companionship (for family members).

Noneconomic damages compensate you for the real emotional weight of what you’ve lost. This may include your sense of safety, hobbies, comfort, and peace of mind. These losses are deeply personal. We take time to tell your story so that insurance companies and juries understand what your injury truly cost you.

Daños punitivos

In rare but extreme cases, additional damages may be awarded to  punish a wrongdoer who acted with malice, fraud, or oppression. These are common in cases involving drunk driving, reckless conduct, or intentional harm.

With Evan Garcia’s deep trial experience—over $86 million recovered and a reputation for handling high-stakes, complex cases—you can feel confident that your case is in capable hands. Whether your injury happened in a Los Angeles traffic accident, a fall at a local business, or a tragic wrongful death, we’re here to fight for the full value of your claim.

How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in California?

Under California law, you must file most personal injury lawsuits within two years of the date of injury. If you fail to file before this deadline, you may lose your right to compensation. Certain exceptions apply, such as cases against government entities, which must be filed within six months of the incident. Because evidence can disappear quickly, contacting an attorney as soon as possible is essential.

In cases involving delayed discovery, when an injury or its cause isn’t immediately apparent, the two-year window may start once you learn of the harm. Speaking with an attorney early ensures the correct filing timeline and preserves crucial evidence before it’s lost.
