Concord Personal Injury Attorneys

One of the most important things to consider when hiring a personal injury attorney is whether they have the resources necessary to help you win your case. If an attorney doesn’t have the resources to adequately represent you in whatever way necessary, you may miss out on proving a crucial aspect of your case. 

For example, proving damages can pose a problem in some cases. Sometimes opposing attorneys and insurance companies will claim that a particular type of damages are not relevant to your case. This is especially true of noneconomic damages. To prove the relevance and pertinence of those damages in such cases, your injury attorney may need to hire an expert witness to testify in court. Doing so takes resources, so it is important that your injury attorney has those resources.

In other cases, the opposing party may argue your own negligence or percentage of fault to avoid liability. In a car accident where fault is challenged by one party, your attorney may need to hire a traffic expert to assess the facts of the accident and prove your lack of fault. Other times, your attorney may need to bring a specialized car accident investigator to investigate the damage on your vehicle in order to show that you were not at fault. Some attorneys may balk at such a request and claim it is not worth the resources, but we disagree.

GJEL’s Concord accident attorneys have the resources necessary to fight for your rights and compensation. We are committed to fighting for you with every possible tool we have and committing the resources necessary to do so.

We recognize that damages often go far beyond immediate medical treatment costs. Here are just a few of the other damages associated with personal injuries that we will help you account for:

• Long-term medical care or rehabilitation;
• In-home care while recovering from significant injuries;
• In-home care after a life-altering injury;
• Treatment for psychological trauma;
• Lost earning potential due to a life-altering injury;
• Lost future earnings after the wrongful death of a loved one; and
• Damage that occurs as a result of the accident.

This list includes both economic and non-economic damages. Economic and noneconomic loss are the two distinct types of loss that the state of California categorizes damages into. Economic loss is a tangible loss with a set monetary value. Medical bills and lost wages are two of the most common types of economic loss. Aside from the economic loss, there is noneconomic loss. Noneconomic loss is just as real as economic loss but is often harder to quantify and identify. As a result, the non-economic loss is often a major point of contention in personal injury cases. If the opposing party questions your noneconomic losses, we will be ready to counter them and prove your losses.  

No matter what sort of damages you suffer as a result of your personal injury, you deserve compensation for all of them. GJEL will help you account for all damages and do everything we can to ensure you recover compensation.

Due to our location in a densely populated area of California, just about any injury can occur in Concord. The variety of fun things to do in the Concord area add to the variety of injuries that occur here.

For example, you may suffer an injury due to someone else’s negligence at any one of the area’s beaches. The sorts of injuries that might happen at a Concord beach include things like:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI),
• Broken ankles,
• Near-drowning,
• Concussions,
• Sprained wrists, and even
• Whiplash.

At the beach, serious accidents can happen in the water that require hospitalization. There is even the risk of serious injury when you are walking to the beach from the parking lot. Whether you are walking down to the beach and break your ankle from slipping on wet stairs or get a broken nose and concussion from someone’s errant football, the costs of an injury can add up quickly.
