Personal Injury

Whether its a rear-end accident, a T-bone collision, or a hit and run, Estivi Ruiz offers legal services for your motor vehicle accidents. There are two general aspects to a motor vehicle accident, (1) the property damage, and (2) the bodily injury portion. Generally, these cases are resolve before any lawsuit has been filed. In certain cases where the injuries are substantial or the party-at-fault is disputed, the case will go through litigation.

In California, licensed drivers are required by law to retain auto-accident liability insurance. Generally speaking, insurance will cover the losses arising from an accident. Often times however, the main goal of the insurance company is to pay the least amount to the injured party. Retaining legal counsel to represent you in your negotiations with insurance companies and the other driver will provide you with the benefit of experienced negotiators who will get you a fair and equitable settlement.

​

These types of cases do not require you to pay any fees up front. Generally, you should never pay for a lawyer to represent your rights in a motor vehicle accident.

As with motor vehicle accidents, generally, a motorcycle collision case is resolved prior to filing any lawsuit against any person. Legal representation will advocate for your right to recover the repair of the motorcycle or its fair market value in the case of a total loss. A lawyer will also help you obtain a fair and equitable settlement to compensate you for your personal injuries, pain and suffering.

​

These cases are usually resolved through negotiations and settlement with insurance companies covering the drivers. In California, the law requires drivers on the road to have liability insurance of a minimum of $15,000 of coverage.
