How Kistler Law Firm Maximizes Your Palmdale Auto Accident Compensation
When you’re injured in a Palmdale auto accident, dealing with medical bills, lost wages, and insurance adjusters can be overwhelming. Many accident victims accept lowball settlement offers from insurance companies, unaware that they are entitled to far greater compensation. At Kistler Law Firm, we fight to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible for your injuries, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering.
If you’ve been involved in a car accident, our Palmdale car accident lawyers can help you maximize your compensation and secure the financial recovery you deserve.
Compensation in a Palmdale Car Accident Case
Auto accident compensation is meant to cover the full extent of your damages, including economic losses (medical bills, lost income, property damage) and non-economic losses (pain and suffering, emotional distress, reduced quality of life).
At Kistler Law Firm, we fight for full compensation in these key areas:
- Medical Expenses – Emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, prescriptions, and long-term treatment.
- Lost Wages & Future Income – Wages lost while recovering, plus any long-term impact on your earning capacity.
- Pain & Suffering – Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, PTSD, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Property Damage – Repairs or replacement costs for your vehicle and other damaged personal belongings.
- Punitive Damages – In cases of extreme negligence (e.g., drunk driving), additional damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault driver.
Insurance companies try to limit payouts, but our aggressive legal strategy ensures you recover the full amount you’re entitled to.
How Kistler Law Firm Fights for Maximum Compensation
1. Conducting a Thorough Investigation
Conducting a thorough investigation is essential in ensuring you receive the full compensation you deserve. Insurance companies often rush to settle claims quickly to minimize their payouts, but at Kistler Law Firm, we take the time to properly investigate your accident.
We gather critical evidence, including police reports that detail the crash and initial findings on fault, witness statements to support your version of events, and traffic camera or dashcam footage to help establish liability.
Additionally, we obtain medical records to directly link your injuries to the accident and consult expert witnesses, such as accident reconstruction specialists and medical professionals.
A strong investigation strengthens your case, allowing us to demand maximum compensation for your damages.
2. Proving Liability & Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable
Proving liability and holding negligent drivers accountable is crucial in securing fair compensation. California follows a comparative negligence system, which means the amount you recover depends on the degree of fault assigned to each party. The more fault placed on the other driver, the greater your compensation.
Our legal team aggressively proves liability by demonstrating that the at-fault driver was speeding, distracted, intoxicated, or reckless at the time of the accident. We also establish violations of California traffic laws, such as running a red light or failing to yield.
By proving a direct connection between the driver’s negligence and your injuries, we ensure that the insurance company cannot unfairly reduce your payout or shift blame onto you.
3. Calculating the Full Value of Your Claim
Calculating the full value of your claim is another way we maximize your compensation. Insurance companies often undervalue claims, offering settlements that only cover immediate expenses while ignoring long-term medical costs, lost income, and emotional suffering. At Kistler Law Firm, we work closely with medical professionals, financial experts, and accident reconstruction specialists to ensure your compensation reflects the true cost of your injuries.
We include current and future medical expenses, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering damages, accurately accounting for the emotional and psychological toll of your injuries.
Rather than accepting what the insurance company is willing to pay, we demand what you are rightfully owed to help secure your future.
4. Negotiating Aggressively with Insurance Companies
Negotiating aggressively with insurance companies is key to ensuring you aren’t pressured into accepting a lowball settlement. Insurance adjusters may offer quick payouts before you fully understand the extent of your injuries or try to shift partial blame onto you to reduce their liability.
In some cases, they delay or deny valid claims, hoping victims will give up. Our experienced attorneys know their tactics and won’t let them take advantage of you. We handle all negotiations, using solid evidence and legal expertise to demand a fair settlement.
If the insurance company refuses to cooperate, we are fully prepared to escalate the case to trial.
5. Taking Your Case to Court If Necessary
Taking your case to court if necessary is part of our commitment to fighting for justice. While many law firms push for quick settlements to avoid litigation, Kistler Law Firm is not afraid to take cases to trial. If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we will present your case in court before a judge and jury.
Often, insurers increase their settlement offers when they realize we are fully prepared for litigation and have the evidence needed to win. Our willingness to go the extra mile ensures that you receive the maximum compensation available for your injuries and losses.
Common Mistakes That Can Reduce Your Compensation
To protect your claim and maximize your settlement, avoid these common mistakes after an accident:
- Admitting Fault – Never apologize or admit fault, as this can be used against you.
- Delaying Medical Treatment – Seek medical attention immediately to document your injuries.
- Talking to the Insurance Company Alone – Insurers use your statements against you. Let your lawyer handle communications.
- Accepting the First Settlement Offer – Initial offers are usually far below what you deserve.
- Failing to Gather Evidence – Take photos, get witness contact info, and obtain the police report.
Following these steps helps preserve your claim and allows Kistler Law Firm to fight for the maximum compensation possible.
