Los Angeles Car Accident Attorney for Victims

Many minor accidents don’t often require the services of an automobile accident law firm. However, even if it turns out that you don’t need a car accident lawyer, consultations at Arash Law are always free.

Some insurance companies hire private investigators to follow injury victims hoping that they will “catch” them doing some activity they are too injured to perform. When this happens, it means a stranger is following you (and your family) to your home and place of work. You have the right to be protected from unnecessary intrusions into your privacy.

The experienced Los Angeles car accident lawyers from Arash Law can object to discovery requests that are too broad or are unrelated to the accident or seek to invade your privacy.

There are many different ways that the insurance company can violate your legal rights. This is why it is important to hire an injury lawyer as soon as possible after any California car accident. Call (888) 488-1391 for a FREE Consultation with a personal injury attorney from Arash Law.
