Los Angeles County Car Accident Lawyers

You may be tempted to try and handle everything yourself following a car accident. After all, why pay an attorney when you can call the other driver’s insurance company and work things out? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Insurance companies are in the business of making money, not paying out claims. That’s why they will often do whatever they can to lowball you or deny your claim altogether.
