Since 1994, we have won countless verdicts and settlements for our clients’ pain and suffering, property damage, medical expenses, lost wages, lost future earning capacity, and other accident-related losses. Murrieta is a fast growing city, and the population explosion is causing a tremendous amount of traffic on the 15/215 interchange, on Jefferson Ave. California Oaks Road and the neighboring streets. With this increase in traffic, comes an increase in the likelihood for an auto accident.

We can come to your home or hospital if you can’t make it to our office. Like all law firms, after our initial consultation at your place or ours, most of our communication can be done via phone and Email and you’ll always have access to discuss your case directly with your attorney – and we’ll never leave your side.

• Contact authorities
• Exchange driver’s license, insurance and contact information
• Take plenty of photos and/or video to document the incident

I didn’t suffer a severe injury, should I see a doctor anyway?

Absolutely. There are enormous forces involved in a car accident that could result in serious injuries, even if you don’t feel the effects today. In addition to seeing a doctor shortly after the accident, you should watch out for symptoms of injury. Once you have sought medical attention, contact our Murrieta car accident lawyers at The Paris Firm to schedule a free consultation.

What injury symptoms should I be aware of?

There are many common car accident injuries that may not show symptoms right away. Look out for injury symptoms such as:

• Confusion
• Dizziness
• Inability to sleep/nightmares
• Soreness or tingling in spine, arms or legs
• Personality changes, moodiness or depression
• Fatigue
• Neck pain & sensitivity to movement
• Memory loss

Doesn’t my Insurance Cover Me?

In some ways, your insurance company may be your ally. They are obligated by law and contract, which means you have some common interests. In other ways, your insurance company may be your adversary. An insurance company’s profits are driven up by paying out less in claims, including your car accident claim. They may see your incident and resulting injury as a liability, which may lead them to make a decision or suggest a resolution that’s in their best interest. It’s an unfortunate, built-in conflict of interest that the company you pay to cover you when something happens, tries to minimize the amount they have to pay when it does.

Do I Need a Lawyer to Assist With My Murrieta Car Accident Claim?

We recommend that anyone seek the advice of a qualified injury lawyer any time you’ve suffered an injury in a car accident that resulted in medical attention & bills or lost wages. Since consulting with the attorneys at The Paris Firm about your car accident is free, it’s better to talk to us and allow us to asses your case at no charge, than to not talk to us and potentially suffer because you didn’t have adequate representation.

When should I contact an attorney about my car accident claim?

You should contact an attorney about your auto accident claim when:

• You have been diagnosed with injuries and presented with a treatment plan
• You have received a settlement offer from your insurance company (see below)
• You are being pressured to give multiple statements about the accident, or you feel your claim is being handled too slowly
• You feel overwhelmed by the issues related to your car accident

My insurance company recently made me an offer. Should I accept?

When your insurance company makes you an offer, it’s usually based on an expectation of what they might have to pay for your accident – often using historical data and claims they’ve paid in the past. It’s usually at the lower end of what your accident is likely to cost in the long run, even if it seems like a lot based on your current medical bills.
