How a Westminster Injury Attorney Can Help
If you suffer an injury in an accident involving another person’s fault, you may assume their insurance company will make the claims process easy. This is a misconception. Despite what they promise, insurance companies are not on your side. They work only for themselves and are always trying to protect profits over people.
Dealing with an insurance claims adjuster, therefore, can be daunting. The adjuster may try various tactics to pressure you to accept a lowball settlement offer. The best way to fight back is with an experienced Westminster personal injury lawyer. An attorney will know exactly how to deal with insurance companies to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
A Orange County accident lawyer will work for you and with you to secure true justice. While you recover from your serious injuries, your lawyer will investigate the incident, determine fault, collect evidence that proves liability, negotiate with an insurer and take your case to court in Orange County, if necessary.

How Much Is the Average Westminster Personal Injury Case Worth?
An “average” personal injury settlement is a myth. Case values can vary considerably based on each person’s unique situation. Factors such as the seriousness of the injuries, the number of liable parties, the insurance policies and their limits, comparative negligence, and the actions of the defendant can affect the final amount of a victim’s settlement or judgment award.
Various types of financial compensation could be awarded in a Westminster personal injury case:
- Medical costs (present and future)
- Property damage repairs
- Lost wages
- Lost capacity to earn
- Disability or disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional injuries and psychological harm
Some clients settle their claims for $50,000 or less with insurance companies while others take their cases to trial in Orange County and receive multimillion-dollar judgments. Fight for a fair amount of compensation for your specific injury case by working with our lawyers from the outset.
Westminster Personal Injury FAQs
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
Negligence is the legal foundation used for most personal injury cases. Someone is negligent if they act with less than the correct or appropriate amount of care. Proving a personal injury case typically requires evidence of the four elements of negligence: duty of care, breach of duty, causation and damages. Some cases use the doctrine of strict liability or breach of warranty instead.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Westminster?
The statute of limitations in California under Code of Civil Procedure §335.1 restricts the filing of most personal injury cases (with some exceptions) to no more than two years from the date of the accident or of reasonable injury discovery. Claims against government agencies must be initiated within just six months. Act quickly – if you miss your statute of limitations, you will most likely be unable to pursue financial compensation.
How much does a Westminster personal injury lawyer cost?
At Bridgford, Gleason & Artinian, our contingency fee arrangement means you won’t pay us out of your own pocket for the services we provide during your personal injury case. We charge $0 upfront. If we don’t win your case, you won’t owe us anything. If we do win, we will deduct our fee directly from the settlement or verdict collected using a pre-agreed-upon percentage (typically around one-third, or 33.33 percent).
