Riverside Personal Injury Lawyer

Serving Inland Empire Communities and All of Southern California

Experienced Personal Injury Lawyers in Riverside

The law aims to guarantee justice for individuals injured through no fault of their own. Regrettably, ordinary law-abiding citizens often have minimal or no power against influential insurance companies. It is essential to consult a personal injury law firm experienced in handling various personal injury cases and one that has proven success in obtaining substantial and significant damages.

Aitken * Aitken * Cohn is led by a diverse group of Orange County personal injury attorneys including founding partner Wylie Aitken and up-and-comer Megan Demshki, who is one of the most distinguished attorneys practicing in the Riverside region. Together they successfully argued the Sumrall v. Modern Alloy case in Riverside and settled the case for millions of dollars.

If you are hurt in an accident through no fault of your own, or if someone else was partially at fault for causing your injuries, you should contact our Riverside personal injury attorneys immediately.

What is Personal Injury Law In Riverside?

If an individual has been involved in an accident or injured due to the negligence of another, personal injury law is a way for a victim to be compensated for their impairments with the law behind them. Injuries do not just apply to physical damages. It can also include diminished quality of life, property damage, mental anguish, loss of earning potential and emotional suffering.

If you sustain an injury caused by someone else, the law permits the recovery of past and future medical expenses, lost earnings, and compensation for pain and suffering. Personal injury lawsuits are essential in balancing the scales of justice by holding those responsible for causing injuries accountable.

The following are some examples of our practice areas:

How Our Riverside Personal Injury Lawyers Hold Those Responsible Accountable

Section 1 of the California Constitution states:

“All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights.  Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.”

If you have been injured due to another person’s negligence, it is time to consult with one of our Riverside personal injury attorneys. Having a dedicated professional on your side puts you in a strong position. Hiring a Riverside injury lawyer provides you with the advocate necessary to fully pursue justice.

Key Factors in a Riverside Personal Injury Case

Our Riverside personal injury lawyers will thoroughly explore all insurance coverage options on behalf of our clients and their families. Beyond seeking all possible sources of recovery from the responsible party, there are often additional avenues of recovery that can be accessed to minimize the financial impact of being injured in Riverside County. Depending on the circumstances, additional funds may be available from:

  • Personal injury protection
  • Medical payments insurance
  • Uninsured motorist coverage
  • Homeowner’s insurance
  • Actual medical bills and damages

A victim’s actual medical bills and out-of-pocket costs are crucial in evaluating a personal injury claim. Any injury can have unforeseen and financially devastating consequences. Our Riverside injury attorneys use these amounts, adjusted for insurance payments and other factors, as one source of information to help determine the value range of a case.

Some of these expenses include:

  • Medical bills
  • Anticipated future medical costs
  • Attendant care costs
  • Costs of medication

There are several factors that influence the success and amount of a claim:

  • The cost of past and future medical treatment
  • The assessment of expert medical witnesses
  • The victim’s age
  • The amount of income lost during recovery
  • The educational background of the victim
  • Whether the injury affected future earning capacity
  • The permanence and severity of the injury
  • If the injury affected the victim’s relationship with a spouse or domestic partner
  • Limitations on daily activities

Everyone involved in an accident should receive a medical evaluation since signs and symptoms may not appear until days or even weeks later. Victims might need ongoing care, particularly in cases of serious or permanent injuries.

While each case is unique and outcomes cannot be guaranteed, our team of Riverside personal injury lawyers is committed to securing the maximum compensation permitted by law for our clients.

Furthermore, if a death results from an accident, please reach out to our Riverside wrongful death lawyers. 

We want to listen and offer solutions within our power to help.

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 and compassionate, and took his time explaining everything to me. His assistant was also very personable and easy to contact.
