Why Insurance Companies Fight Your Claim

Major insurance providers spend billions on advertising to appear trustworthy and caring, but their primary obligation is to shareholders, not auto accident victims. An insurance adjuster’s main job is to pay you as little money as possible, or even nothing at all. After a Van Nuys car accident, you'll likely encounter several problematic insurance company tricks and sketchy tactics:

  • Rapid Settlement Pressure

    Adjusters often contact injury victims within hours of a car accident, presenting seemingly generous offers that expire quickly. These initial offers rarely reflect the true value of your car accident claim and are designed to close personal injury cases before car accident victims understand their full injuries.

  • Recorded Statement Traps

    Insurance representatives frequently request recorded statements, then manipulate casual responses like "I feel okay" to minimize personal injury claims weeks or months later. Never give a recorded statement to an insurance representative without our presence.

  • Medical Records Fishing

    Companies may request broad medical authorizations spanning years of prior treatment, then search through unrelated and pre-crash health records seeking pre-existing conditions to blame for current car accident injuries.

  • Treatment Denial

    Even when doctors recommend specific treatments, insurers may classify them as "unnecessary" to avoid payment responsibilities.

  • Strategic Delays

    Prolonged claim processing is designed to exhaust victims financially and emotionally, forcing acceptance of small settlement amounts.

Our Van Nuys car accident lawyers handle all insurance communications, protecting you from these predatory tactics while building the strongest possible case to win you the most money possible.

Van Nuys Traffic Accident Scenarios We Handle

Van Nuys's busy streets, including Sherman Way, Victory Boulevard, and the 101 Freeway corridors, create numerous accident risks. HHT Law represents clients injured in various collision types of collisions:

  • Intersection Crashes

    Red light runners and failure-to-yield violations cause devastating broadside impacts at Van Nuys's major intersections.

  • Freeway Accidents

    High-speed collisions on the 405, 101, and 170 freeways often result in catastrophic car accident injuries and complex multi-party liability.

  • Rear-End Impacts

    Distracted driving and sudden traffic changes lead to frequent rear-end collisions throughout the San Fernando Valley.

  • Lane Change Accidents

    Aggressive driving and blind spot failures cause dangerous sideswipe collisions on busy Van Nuys thoroughfares.

  • Pedestrian Strikes

    Heavy foot traffic around Van Nuys Boulevard shopping areas and Metro stations increases pedestrian accident risks.

  • Motorcycle Crashes

    Van Nuys's year-round riding weather means serious motorcycle accidents requiring advanced legal knowledge and skills.

  • Commercial Vehicle Accidents

    Delivery trucks, rideshare vehicles, and commercial traffic create unique liability challenges requiring experienced representation.

Serious Injuries Require Serious Attorneys

Car accidents generate tremendous physical forces that can cause life-altering injuries even in seemingly minor collisions. Our Van Nuys car accident attorneys regularly represent clients suffering from:

  • Neurological Trauma

    Concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and cognitive impairments that may not manifest immediately but cause long-term complications.

  • Spinal Damage

    Herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, bulging discs, and spinal cord injuries that can result in chronic pain or permanent disability.

  • Orthopedic Injuries

    Complex fractures, joint damage, and ligament tears requiring extensive rehabilitation and potentially permanent limitation.

  • Soft Tissue Trauma

    While insurance companies minimize these injuries, severe whiplash, muscle tears, and nerve damage can cause years of pain and treatment.

  • Psychological Impact

    PTSD, anxiety, and depression following traumatic personal injury accidents deserve recognition and compensation alongside physical injuries.

Even injuries that seem minor initially can develop into serious medical conditions requiring ongoing care. We won’t let the insurance company get away with minimizing your payout.

Establishing Legal Responsibility in Van Nuys Accidents

To recover compensation after a car accident, our exceptional personal injury attorneys will use our proven strategies to demonstrate four essential legal elements:

  • Duty of Care

    All drivers have legal obligations to operate vehicles safely and follow traffic laws to protect other road users.

  • Breach of Duty

    The at-fault party violated their responsibility through negligent, reckless, or intentionally dangerous behavior.

  • Causation

    The defendant's actions directly caused the accident and resulting injuries rather than unrelated factors.

  • Damages

    The victim suffered actual losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain, and other quantifiable harm.

Van Nuys car accident cases may involve multiple liable parties, from individual drivers to vehicle manufacturers to government entities responsible for road maintenance. Our knowledgeable and skilled attorneys identify all potential sources of compensation.

Comprehensive Compensation for Accident Victims

California law allows injured parties to recover both economic and non-economic damages after car accidents. HHT Law fights for full compensation, including:

  • Immediate medical costs: Emergency room treatment, ambulance transport, initial surgeries, and diagnostic testing.
  • Ongoing healthcare: Physical therapy, specialist consultations, prescription medications, and adaptive equipment.
  • Future medical needs: Long-term care requirements, additional surgeries, and lifetime treatment costs for permanent injuries.
  • Lost wages: Income missed due to injury recovery, medical appointments, and reduced work capacity.
  • Diminished earning ability: Compensation for permanent disability or career limitations caused by accident injuries.
  • Property replacement: Vehicle repair or replacement, plus damage to personal items in the accident.
  • Pain and suffering: Recognition of physical discomfort, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
  • Additional damages: Scarring compensation, loss of consortium for your spouse, and other impacts specific to individual cases.

While no amount of money can undo accident trauma and the ongoing stress and anxiety thereafter, fair compensation provides financial security. It acknowledges the full scope of your damages and pain, both physical and mental, that you’ve endured.

Time Limits for Van Nuys Car Accident Claims

California imposes strict deadlines for filing personal injury lawsuits, making prompt legal action essential:

  • Standard personal injury claims: Two years from the accident date to file suit under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1.
  • Wrongful death cases: Two years from the date of death for surviving family members to pursue wrongful death compensation.
  • Government liability: Six months to file administrative claims against city, county, or state entities, with shortened lawsuit deadlines.
  • Minor victims: Special rules may extend deadlines for injured children, but early legal consultation remains crucial.

Certain circumstances may pause or extend these deadlines, but waiting risks losing your right to compensation entirely.

FAQ Regarding Car Accidents in Van Nuys

  • What is the new accident law in California?

    California’s new auto insurance minimums took effect on January 1, 2025. Under the revised law, drivers are now required to carry at least $30,000 in bodily injury liability per person and $60,000 per accident, replacing the previous “15/30” limits that had been in place since 1967. This change aims to better protect accident victims from unpaid medical costs and financial hardship.

    ‍

  • What happens if you don't report an accident within 24 hours in California?

    Failing to report a qualifying accident within 24 hours can result in automatic suspension of your driver's license and potential hit-and-run charges, leading to fines, jail time, and criminal records. Insurance companies may also deny your claim or question its validity due to delayed reporting. Additionally, missing the reporting deadline weakens your legal position for any future personal injury lawsuit by damaging your credibility.

  • Is California a no-fault state?

    No, the state follows an “at-fault system” of automobile insurance. Unlike “no-fault” states, in California, the at-fault driver's insurance covers your medical expenses, vehicle repairs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

  • Should I file an insurance claim if I am at fault?

    Yes, you should always file a claim with your insurance company immediately after an accident, even if you believe you were at fault. Your policy requires prompt accident reporting, and failure to do so could lead to claim denial or cancellation. Fault determination is complex — what seems clear at the scene may change after investigation, so let insurance adjusters and legal professionals assess liability.
