Personal Injury Representation For Immigrants
After experiencing an accident and any resulting injuries, you already have a lot to worry about. From expensive medical bills, long recovery times and time missed from work, your financial and physical future may seem uncertain. However, undocumented immigrants may have even more concerns.
If you are an undocumented immigrant and suffered injuries in an accident in California, you still can file a personal injury claim regardless of your immigration status. At the Law Offices of Eric Hershler, we can help immigrants obtain the compensation they need to recover after an accident. With over 35 years of experience assisting clients in the Los Angeles area, you can trust us to fight for you and help you get the help you need.
You Have The Right To File A Personal Injury Claim
In 2016, California enacted a law that prevents courts from asking any questions or requiring evidence regarding immigration status in a personal injury or wrongful death claim. Under this state law, everyone has equal rights to file a lawsuit. This means that whether you overstayed your visa, don’t have a green card or crossed the border without documentation, you can still recover compensation for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence.
At the Law Offices of Eric Hershler, we can assist immigrants with a variety of personal injury claims, including those stemming from:
- Car accidents
- Slip and falls
- Construction and utility vehicle accidents
- Bus accidents
- Elevator and escalator accidents
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for your medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, lost future income, pain and suffering, property damage and, in some cases, punitive damages.
