A challenging language barrier can be the way of life for residents of California whose native language is Mongolian. Unfortunately, there are few places where the language is understood, even for the most basic of conversing. But these community members do their best to make themselves understood while working on learning English as a second language. However, when a Mongolian-speaking person is involved in a vehicle accident, the issue of trying to communicate and be understood can become a grave matter. Without being able to explain injuries, the circumstances of the accident, and other details to first responders, Mongolian-speaking vehicle accident injury victims become very isolated. And when this occurs, the legal system can easily fail these accident injury victims and their loved ones.
At Normandie Law Firm, our faith in the law and the belief that justice for all should be all-inclusive have inspired our firm to offer free consultations to our clients with Mongolian-speaking lawyers. We know that being in a car or truck accident is a traumatic experience. And we want to provide our Mongolian-speaking clients with a stress-free way to discuss their injuries and the accident details and ask any questions they have in the language most familiar and comforting to them. So please get in touch with our office as soon as possible to discuss the details of your vehicle accident and injuries with a Mongolian-speaking lawyer at Normandie Law Firm.
You Deserve Justice
As the victim of injuries in a car or truck accident, you have rights under the law that need to be protected. However, if you are not able to easily converse with an English-speaking lawyer, you are likely to misunderstand some or all of the vital legal advice and information they provide to you. For example, understanding that you have the right to sue for compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses is critical before agreeing to accept payment from the negligent driver who caused the accident and your injuries. However, it could be impossible to relate that information unless you have a Mongolian –speaking lawyer.
The Normandie Law Firm team understands the pain and worry you will endure after your vehicle accident. Concerns about when you can return to work and how you will pay your bills certainly add stress to your life. Our goal is to provide you with your options under the law so that you can make well-informed choices regarding your medical care and financial future.
Understanding the process of filing a lawsuit against the person responsible for your injuries can sound overwhelming. However, when working with Normandie Law Firm, you never face this challenge alone. In fact, we handle all of these legal matters on your behalf so that you can focus on your recovery and rebuilding your life. And any information you need to know throughout the case is explained to you in your native language to ensure there are no communication errors. Our goal is to see that justice for all includes all non-native English-speaking accident victims, including those who primarily speak Mongolian.

The Most Common Causes Of Vehicle Accidents
When you are involved in a vehicle accident, it can be hard to come away with a clear image of how the accident unfolded. It all happens very rapidly in most cases. And you only have a single perspective from inside your car or truck. The vantage point rarely provides a clear view of the other drivers or what they might have been doing immediately before the accident. However, it is essential to determine who was at fault for the accident and what they did wrong or negligently to cause the accident, and the injuries you sustained. The team at Normandie Law Firm has decades of experience evaluating the details provided by clients, the police reports, and witness statements to determine how the accident occurred and whose negligent acts are responsible for the damages.
Unfortunately, the list of common causes of a vehicle accident often points to poor choices or blatant disregard for the safety of others on the part of the negligent driver. These acts of negligence can include:
- Failing to stop driving when becoming drowsy or too tired to remain focused on the road
- Going faster than the posted speed limit
- Driving too fast for the current road or weather conditions
- Ignoring stop lights, stop signs, or other traffic signs and signals
- Driving under the influence of a controlled substance
- Driving while intoxicated
- Driving while taking medication that impairs focus or reaction time
- Driving aggressively or “Road Raging”
All drivers have a responsibility to others on the road to follow safety guidelines and laws to ensure everyone’s well-being. If a driver is not driving in a prudent, responsible, and safe manner, they are typically considered negligent in their duty to other drivers. And are responsible for the accidents and injuries that negligence causes.
As you discuss your case with your Mongolian-speaking lawyer at Normandie Law Firm, you will be able to ask questions about negligence, how it applies to your accident and injuries, and how the team can help you to seek full and fair compensation for your injuries and losses due to the incident.
What Is A Vehicle Accident Injury Lawsuit Worth?
There is no predetermined value for a lawsuit. In the case of a vehicle accident injury claim, the value is based primarily on the victim’s actual expenses and losses due to the incident. Your Mongolian-speaking lawyer at Normandie Law Firm will help you understand the costs that will be evaluated and included in the compensation. Some of the specific items to consider include:
- All of your medical bills for treatment of your injuries
- An estimated cost for any further medical care you will need, including therapy or rehabilitation
- The cost of any therapy or counseling for trauma, anxiety, depression, or other issues resulting from the vehicle accident
- The total of your lost wages if you have been unable to return to work during your recovery
- Any lost wages for the time taken to attend medical appointments
- The value of any personal items damaged or destroyed in the accident
- The amount of your legal fees for filing the claim for compensation
While these are relatively easy amounts to estimate, a dollar amount can also be assigned to represent the pain and suffering you endured due to your injuries. The severity of your injuries, the recovery time, and other factors will impact the amount of this line item. Your lawyers at Normandie Law Firm will help you understand how this number is derived and what you might include in your request for pain and suffering based on their experience in these cases.
The Statute Of Limitations In California
All accident injury victims must understand that in California, the Statute of Limitations on a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the injury. That means you have only two years to file your claim with the court system. If you do not file within two years, you will give up your right to ever file a claim for the injuries. There are a few exceptions to this law that your Mongolian-speaking Normandie lawyer will explain if they apply to your case.
In addition, it is essential to know that there is no specific time frame to complete a vehicle accident injury lawsuit. The case will depend on factors including your recovery time, the workload of the court, and possibly even the recovery of the person responsible for the accident. However, your Normandie Law Firm team will work diligently to keep the case moving forward. We understand how vital the compensation money will be to you and your future. And any way we can make the process faster will help reduce your stress and anxiety.
No Out Of Pocket Legal Fees
As an injury victim, there are sure to be many bills arriving at your home each day. And that added pressure is sure to become distracting and stressful. At Normandie Law Firm, we want our clients to know they have exceptional legal representation without the added worries of upfront legal fees. As we mentioned, your lawsuit settlement will include money to cover your legal expenses. And we are happy to wait until after you have received your compensation to get paid. In addition, you owe us nothing if we do not secure a settlement or verdict in your favor. So there is never a risk of you owing us money if we do not win your lawsuit.
Even if you have been turned away by another law firm, please contact our office today. We offer free second-opinion consultations in Mongolian to reevaluate your case. If we see merit in filing a lawsuit to secure compensation for you, we will advise you and offer to take your case. And again, there are no upfront fees or expenses. If we do not win, you owe us nothing. Our primary objective is to see that justice is served to all, regardless of the language they speak.
