Southern California Personal Injury Attorneys

Serving All of California

Here in Southern California, accidents frequently happen in the blink of an eye. Those who are injured in these accidents often face serious physical, emotional, and financial turmoil in the aftermath. Even more devastating are those family members who are left to pick up the pieces after an accident has resulted in the death of a loved one.

Choosing A Southern California Personal Injury Lawyer

When you have been injured by someone else’s negligence, you deserve help to get back on your feet. Fortunately, personal injury law allows injured parties to recover compensation from the responsible party so they can get their lives back on track. If you have been injured in an accident, you may not know where to turn. The Southern California personal injury lawyers at Aitken * Aitken * Cohn can help. You aren’t just a statistic to us. You are our number one priority.

The Potential Problems With an Insurance Settlement

Although we all have been taught that we can rely on insurance after an emergency, the reality is not so clear-cut. Because insurance companies are large, public, for-profit enterprises, their first priorities are usually profits and their corporate shareholders’ happiness, not fair settlements for accident victims.

Unfortunately, victims often get short-changed in this scenario. One of the ways that insurance companies can show such huge profits is by cutting costs. This includes fair and equitable settlements for victims. Accident victims are put in a position to fight to get fairly compensated for what they are entitled to. While injured victims should be able to trust that they are being treated fairly by the insurance industry, the opposite is usually true. That is where we come in.

At Aitken * Aitken * Cohn, we are Southern California personal injury lawyers dedicated to getting our clients the financial help they need after a serious accident. Whether that help comes from a fair insurance settlement or if we take the matter to court, our lawyers stop at nothing to get injured victims the maximum compensation they deserve.

No question about it, this firm is 100 percent reliable and trustworthy. I felt very comfortable about continuing my case with this firm based on the first impression they gave me: professional.

Jose L.

Extremely competent and really cared about our family

The law firm provided us complete guidance and direction in our legal matter, but at the same time, they didn’t make our decisions for us. It sure was nice to have confidence in knowing we were going to be taken care of.

Andrea and Larry W.

This firm has a great reputation, even amongst other lawyers.

I was referred to by a lawyer friend and had Richard Cohn as my attorney. He was personable, compassionate and took his time explaining everything to me. His assistant was also very personable and easy to contact.

What Compensation Can You Expect After a Personal Injury Claim?

After an accident, there are two categories of damages, or monetary awards, designed to make a victim “whole.” These are

  • Economic damages are quantifiable amounts of money that came out of your pocket because of the accident. These include anything from your hospital bills to the amount of time you had to take off work for physical therapy.
  • Non-economic damages are less quantifiable and cover the emotional cost of the accident. These can include physical or emotional suffering, disability, or other emotional or psychological damages you are suffering because of the accident.

The personal injury attorneys at Aitken * Aitken * Cohn have decades of valuable experience successfully advising people in many types of personal injury claims.

How Does Personal Injury Law Work?

Personal injury law is that branch of civil law that serves to protect injured parties from the harm another party has caused them. In a personal injury claim, the injured party files a claim against the at-fault party to seek compensation for their injuries and other damages. While some personal injury claims go to court, most get settled through insurance claims. And this is just one of the many problems an injured party will face.

You can have peace of mind knowing that you have one of the most respected law firms in Southern California in your corner.

Each accident and accident claim is unique and compensation will depend on various factors, considering:

  • How serious the accident was
  • What medical interventions were needed
  • Who was at fault and their percentage of fault
  • The level of injuries that were sustained
  • How long healing and rehabilitation took
  • Medical bills and other costs associated with injuries
  • Any out-of-pocket costs related to the accident
  • Personal property damages
  • Lost wages and interference with the ability to work
  • Future possible medical bills that may relate to the injuries
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Whether a permanent disability or scarring was sustained
  • Pain and suffering or emotional trauma
  • Punitive damages, in some cases
  • Wrongful death if the accident resulted in a fatality
