Personal Injury Lawyer In Orange County Seeks Maximum Compensation For Injured Plaintiff

As a member of the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association and gold-medal-winning USA Olympic Team, Lebron James is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Known for his incredible athletic talents, which have been captured in sensational highlight reels, the 6-foot-9-inch-tall champion is also a father to fellow Laker Bronny James. While it is nothing new for a father and son of the same family to have both played for the NBA, Lebron and Bronny James are the first pair in NBA history to play together on the court as teammates.

News outlets have reported that the duo have been named in a car accident lawsuit. April Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillen allege that in the incident in 2020, Lebron James “negligently owned, controlled, repaired, entrusted, maintained and operated an automobile as to cause it to, and it did, become involved in an accident or collision.” 

The plaintiffs allege that the accident left them with vehicle damages, loss of earnings, legal fees, and injuries that require on-going medical treatment and care

If you have been in an accident in which you were not at fault, you have the right to pursue compensation for damages. An accident lawyer helps victims increase their likelihood of receiving the highest amount of financial reimbursement they are legally entitled to.

If you have been injured, call emergency services and seek medical attention immediately. Call the police and do not express fault to the other party. At the scene of the accident, take photographs of all vehicles involved, including the license plates. Reach out to an accident attorney as soon as possible, as there are statutes of limitations of personal injury lawsuits. While plaintiffs are not required to hire legal representation, a personal injury lawyer’s expertise and understanding of the law and your rights can be of enormous help. There are several layers to the process of a personal injury claim. The first step is identifying the driver and vehicle owner of the at-fault party. Next, your lawyer will work with you to compile evidence, which may include photographs, videos, witness accounts, medical records, and police reports, which will be necessary to prove the extent of your damages. In the phase of negotiation, an accident lawyer plays a crucial role, especially when dealing with insurance companies who may try to undermine your claims to minimize payouts. In some cases, litigation will be necessary.

Injuries sustained as a result of a car crash may not be immediately evident. Continue to monitor your state and seek medical attention for symptoms of delayed conditions, such as whiplash, internal bleeding, and traumatic brain injuries. The consequences of a car accident are not only physical. They can leave victims with post-traumatic stress disorder, emotional distress, and mental conditions that reduce their quality of life and ability to work and earn income.
