Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions

It’s our job at the personal injury law office of Mitchell A. Shapiro, Inc., to help injured people get fair and speedy compensation for their injuries.

Personal injury attorney Mitchell Shapiro has been fighting insurance companies in the courtroom and at the negotiating table for more than 25 years, handling many types of personal injury cases for the people of Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside counties. Mitchell Shapiro has personally settled cases worth over a million dollars and has earned many six-figure settlements on behalf of clients.

Contact our office to get a California personal injury lawyer on your case today. We’ve helped people in many kinds of injury and wrongful death cases, including cases involving:

• Car accidents
• SUV rollovers
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• ATV accidents
• Boating accidents
• Airplane accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Construction accidents
• Dangerous / faulty products
• Dog bites

If you’ve been injured:

• THINGS FIRST: Get immediate medical attention if you’ve suffered an injury in any kind of accident. Be sure to tell the doctor exactly what took place. That may be key evidence in court.

• THEN call a lawyer. If you’ve suffered a serious, traumatic injury and cannot come to our office, we’ll come to see you in the hospital or at home.

• If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident, contact your insurance company and review our car accident page for more information.

• If you have been injured in a workplace accident or a construction accident, be sure to inform your employer immediately. Mitchell Shapiro helps injured workers with workers’ compensation claims.

What can I expect?

For most injuries, you can expect to recover medical costs and lost wages. In some cases, you can obtain punitive damages, and compensation for pain and suffering. In wrongful death cases, a family can receive compensation for loss of future income, loss of companionship, and possibly other damages (except pain and suffering).

At Mitchell A. Shapiro, Inc., we’re here for you, not for the convenience of an insurance company. Wait weeks for a settlement check? Not us – once your case is settled we will exchange the release document for a settlement check and you’ll have it in your hand within days, not weeks.

Our staff of skilled attorneys and administrative professionals has only one goal: to see that your case is successful and you receive compensation. Contact  a California accident attorney at Mitchell A. Shapiro, Inc. to schedule a FREE initial consultation.
