Los Angeles, CA personal injury attorney Narbeh Shirvanian talks about how an attorney can get you more money from an auto accident. He explains that the question of money is a common concern in consultations, given the firm’s focus on civil litigation, particularly personal injury cases, including motor vehicle and bicycle accidents. The primary objective is to secure financial justice for clients. Unlike criminal proceedings, where the goal is prosecution and potential incarceration, the focus here is on obtaining compensation for losses suffered.

To achieve this, the firm carefully assesses the client’s damages. This includes identifying medical injuries and ensuring clients pursue necessary treatment, as failing to do so can negatively impact the potential settlement value.

The process involves evaluating available insurance coverage, understanding the nature and extent of the injuries, and guiding clients toward achieving maximum medical improvement. Once this stage is reached, the firm prepares a detailed demand for compensation, often in the form of a policy limit demand letter to the insurance company, presenting all relevant damages and advocating for the client to secure the full and appropriate compensation.
