What you choose to post on social media immediately after an accident can influence the outcome of your case. Oversharing information or sharing specific details can harm the case if you do not consider the specific implications of publicly sharing a specific piece of information. While you may want to share your accident story so that other may better protect themselves in a certain situation, you may want to talk to an Los Angeles personal injury attorney to find out if early-released photos or details can influence the outcome of your claim.
Farming Accidents

Injuries can be severe and, in some rarer cases, they can also be fatal. Several farms, orchards or ranches are located throughout the state of California and in the Los Angeles county. If you are injured in an accident that took place on a farm, you can request the help of our Los Angeles personal injury attorneys for obtaining compensations.

Our Los Angeles personal injury attorneys can help you in these types of cases.

A cross-claim may arise between two or more plaintiffs in a personal injury case or between two different defendants.

A common case in which multiple plaintiffs can file a cross-claim is a car pile-up vehicle accident in Los Angeles.

Impleader is the process through which a defendant may bring a third party to a personal injury case who can also be responsible, through negligence or intentionally, for the damages and injuries of the plaintiff. This is an optional step and it is used to save time during a lawsuit. Alternatively, the defendant can start a separate lawsuit against the said party after the initial personal injury lawsuit is settled.
