Khmer Speaking Lawyer for Car Accident Injury Cases

Are you a Cambodian resident or visitor of the Los Angeles Metro Area, who is in need of legal advice? If you need a Khmer-speaking car accident lawyer, please consider a free consultation with Kenmore Law Group. Unfortunately, lack of English-speaking skills presents a huge barrier to those who are trying to navigate the legal system in the United States. As a result, many Cambodian accident victims are taken advantage of when they have been injured through no fault of their own.

We can provide you with a Khmer-speaking lawyer for car accident cases, who will explain your rights and legal options. Then, they will help you choose the best legal strategy for obtaining your damages, thereby protecting you from financial hardship and lifelong trauma due to another party’s negligence. Contact our law firm without delay if you have been injured in one of the following auto accidents:

• Head-on car collision
• Rear end collision
• Blind spot accident
• Sideswipe accident
• Side-impact collision
• Sideswipe accident
• Vehicle rollovers
• Multi-vehicle accident
• Accident while merging
• Hit by a motor vehicle (pedestrian accidents, hit and run)

Who can I Sue if I was Injured in a Car Accident?

Determining who is legally responsible for the harm you’ve suffered is an essential part of the lawsuit process. Our attorneys have extensive experience in car accident investigations and know that the exact cause of your accident is critical to figuring out who we can sue for your injuries.

If, for example, your accident was caused by a careless driver, that’s the individual you would demand compensation from. However, liability can be more complicated if a private company or government agency is responsible for your accident. Perhaps a defective car part, like broken seatbelts or malfunctioning brakes, was the cause of your accident. In that case, you would need to pursue a defective product claim against the manufacturer. Alternatively, you may have grounds to sue the government if a public entity, like Caltrans or the MTA caused a situation that resulted in your accident.

Aside from discovering the root cause of your accident, we may need to gather witness statements, video footage, expert testimony, and other evidence to build a strong and solid case. It’s best to leave these tasks in the hands of an experienced law firm, like Kenmore Law Group.

Harm and Suffering from a Motor Vehicle Accident

You should never underestimate the severity of a car accident, even if all the involved vehicles are traveling at relatively low speeds. Even with seatbelts and other protective measures, an accident involving a motor vehicle can cause you to suffer from:

• Deep lacerations and puncture wounds
• Disfigurement, including permanent scars
• Skull fracture, concussion and TBI (traumatic brain injury)
• Broken bones and fractures, including broken pelvis and hip fracture
• Burn injuries
• Rupturing and/or puncturing of the internal organs
• Neck and back injuries, including spinal cord damage
• Dislocated or shattered kneecap
• Soft tissue injuries (damage to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments)
• Paralysis (typically from nerve damage)
• Sleep disorders, PTSD, depression, and other mental health disorders

Many people put off seeing a doctor after an accident, but it’s imperative that you seek medical attention as soon as possible. It’s not unusual for victims to feel fine in the beginning, but injuries from a car accident can lead to permanent complications if they’re not treated right away. Medical records will also establish the harm you’ve suffered as a direct result of your accident. These records will give you the best chance of succeeding in a lawsuit for monetary damages, especially if you have serious, long-term injuries.

Representation from a Khmer-Speaking Car Accident Lawyer

There’s no denying that the legal system is complicated, even for those that are perfectly fluent in English. When you are from another country and need help in another language, such as Khmer, achieving justice as a car accident victim can seem like an impossible task. Please know that our lawyers are here to fight for you and the payment you deserve. We have decades of experience in the recovery of auto accident settlements and are more than ready for the challenge of representing you.

We know that you have many questions on your mind regarding your legal rights as an accident victim. To give you some insight into the legal process, here are answers to the questions we receive most frequently at our office:

How much can I Recover in Monetary Compensation? 

If you are the victim of someone else’s negligence or misconduct, various economic and non-economic damages may be available to you in the form of medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, emotional distress, property damage, and punitive damages. These are the elements that will determine what your lawsuit is worth. People often ask us about the average value of a car accident injury case, but this is a difficult question to answer, as each victim has their own set of financial and emotional losses. At best, we would say that settlements can range between $25,000 to over $2.5 million, but there are, of course, cases that fall below or above these values.

How long will it take to Settle my Case?

The case settlement process can take as little as 30 days, or up to several years depending on the legal action we will need to pursue. As we understand the stress you are under, it’s always our goal to bring you the payment you deserve within 6 months. Realistically, there are many complications that can come up along the way, which can extend the settlement process by weeks or months. If we get to a point where private negotiations are no longer possible, we can file a lawsuit to demand the payment you are entitled to. Depending on the number of issues we will need to work through, a lawsuit can take one or more years to resolve.

How much time do I have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit?

In California, you generally have 2 years to file a lawsuit if you are seeking damages from a car accident that was caused by someone else. But you may have less time to take legal action depending on the party you are suing. For example, you only have 6 months to submit an accident claim against the government, such as a state or county agency. The clock starts ticking from the date of your accident, so you must act quickly to ensure that your claim is processed on time. If the agency rejects your claim in writing, you will have 6 months to petition the court for a lawsuit. If there is no response from the agency within 45 days, you have two years from the accident date to file your lawsuit.

A Khmer-speaking legal representative at our office will verify the amount of time you have for a lawsuit and take immediate action to initiate the legal process on your behalf.

We Offer Free Second Opinions

Our services include free second opinions if you have a pending auto accident claim with another law firm. Many claimants that come to us are unhappy with the lack of time and attention from their attorney, or how long it’s taking to settle their case. We know how frustrated and worried you are under these circumstances, especially if a language barrier is holding you back from exploring your legal options.

A Khmer-speaking lawyer for injury cases will meet with you for a free case evaluation. They will provide you with suggestions on how to get your case back on track and ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries. However, you are under no obligation to take any action that you’re not 100% comfortable with. That’s why we never charge for a second opinion, which means you have nothing to lose by contacting us to schedule a meeting with one of our legal experts.
