Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Proving that Someone Else is Liable for Your Accident

To sue another individual over an accident, you will need to prove their liability, or responsibility for the harm you’ve suffered. In general, this means they were negligent in some way, like causing a dangerous situation or failing to take care of something that could lead to an accident. Someone that is driving under the influence, for example, is creating a hazardous situation, since they are likely to cause a car accident. A property owner, on the other hand, has an obligation to foresee potential accidents that can occur from a condition on their property. For example, they are responsible for keeping their walkways free of snow and ice in order to prevent someone from having a slip and fall accident.

Depending on the details of your accident, it may be quite challenging to prove who is responsible for your accident. Ultimately, it’s in your best interest to work with an attorney that’s experienced in accident investigations, whether you are going after an individual, a business, or a government entity. The Pashto-speaking accident injury lawyers of Normandie are ready to investigate your claim and fight for the losses you are entitled to. Contact us today and schedule a free case evaluation.

Legal Representation for Uber and Lyft Drivers

It’s no secret that a significant portion of Uber and Lyft’s workforce are immigrants or people of minority backgrounds. This is not by accident, as rideshare companies are no different than any other corporation when it comes to exploiting their workers. They may lead you to believe that you are a valued member, but that’s only if you’re making them money rather than asking for it. This is something many Uber and Lyft drivers realize when they get into an accident while they’re driving for either of these companies.

Normally, payment from a car accident would come from the faulty driver’s insurance company or your own insurance provider. That is still the case with rideshare accidents, but these companies have supplemental insurance that can provide you with further compensation. Uber and Lyft’s insurance plan also covers you in the event your accident is caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver.

To be eligible for Uber and Lyft’s insurance coverage, you must be logged into the app and available to accept a ride. If you are available but don’t have a passenger yet, you are eligible for up to $100,000 for any injuries and up to $25,000 for damage to your vehicle. If you are carrying a passenger at the time of the accident, you are covered for the maximum amount of $1 million for bodily injury and property damage.

Even if it’s clear that you qualify for an accident claim with Uber and Lyft, obtaining the funds you are owed can be very difficult. In short, both companies will use any excuse they can come up with to deny your claim or reduce the amount they have to pay you. Drivers with limited English-speaking skills are especially vulnerable in these situations, which is unacceptable to us here at Normandie Law Firm. Our Pashto-speaking rideshare accident lawyers will fight for every penny you deserve if you’ve been injured in a Lyft or Uber accident.

Could you Use a Second Opinion?

Are you worried about a pending accident claim that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere? Is your law firm unresponsive to your questions and concerns?

Our goal is to listen to your concerns and offer recommendations on what you can do to achieve the results you’re looking for. This meeting is 100% free of charge, by the way, so there’s no loss to you by taking some time to speak with us.

How much can I Receive from an Accident Injury Lawsuit?

The answer to this question depends on many factors that we will need to discuss with you in person. The severity of your injuries is a crucial element, along with the type of entity you are suing and their level of misconduct or negligence. In addition, we have to evaluate the damages you are owed, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and damage to your property. When you take all that into consideration, the value of your case may be around $25,000 to over $3.5 million. To get a better sense of what you can recover from an accident claim, call us to speak with a Pashto, Dari, or Tajik-speaking legal expert.

How long does it take to Settle a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Some of the cases that we handle are settled in just a few weeks, but in reality, the case resolution process can take around 6 to 12 months, depending on the complications that come up along the way. At some point, we may need to take more drastic action by filing a lawsuit on your behalf. It’s more than likely that your case will be settled before the trial date, but if a trial is needed, resolving your lawsuit can take 2 years or longer.

Deadline to Pursue a Claim for Compensation

Even if you have solid evidence of another party’s negligence, you only have a limited amount of time to demand compensation for your injuries. This is known as the statute of limitations, and it’s essential that you understand exactly how long you have to file your lawsuit. Most accident claims against private businesses, property owners, and individuals must be filed within two years from the date of your accident. However, you only have 6 months to submit an injury claim if you are suing a public entity, like the County of Los Angeles or a public school. Make sure to give us a call so that we can confirm the statute of limitations that applies to your case, along with advising you of your available legal options.
