Personal Injury Lawyers in Encino, CA

It happens in a blink. One second, you’re sipping your morning coffee or crossing the street without a second thought. The next, your life veers sharply off course. In the wake of a serious accident, you deserve more than just an apology. You deserve a team that will help put your life back on track with strength and compassion, and fight for real results.

An experienced Encino personal injury lawyer from the Law Offices of Steers & Associates can help you regain control. With over 40 years of combined experience and millions recovered for our clients, we know what it takes to hold wrongdoers accountable. We offer free consultations 24/7 and do not charge legal fees unless you win.

How Can an Encino Personal Injury Lawyer Help Me?

In an accident’s aftermath, recovery demands more than just healing broken bones or bruised pride. Medical bills pile up, income slips away, and the emotional toll grows heavier with each unanswered question. Meanwhile, insurance companies move quickly to protect their bottom line, pressuring you to settle before you fully understand the extent of your losses.

An experienced Encino personal injury attorney can:

• Investigate the accident to uncover every detail,
• Gather evidence to strengthen your claim,
• Handle communications with aggressive insurance companies, and
• Fight for the maximum compensation you need to heal and move forward.

We provide more than legal guidance; we offer peace of mind.

What Common Cases Do Your Encino Injury Lawyers Handle?

Every injury case is personal, and no two situations are the same. Our injury lawyers have helped thousands of clients with these and other claims.

Car Accidents

Encino’s busy roads, like US-101 and Ventura Boulevard, are prone to collisions. Whether your crash happened on the freeway or at a busy intersection, we know how to prove fault and fight for justice.

Truck Accidents

Big rig and delivery truck collisions can cause catastrophic injuries. Many of these accidents happen at the notoriously dangerous US-101/I-405 interchange. Our team knows how to take on trucking companies and their insurers.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

The city’s active streets invite pedestrians and cyclists. Unfortunately, careless drivers can turn a simple walk or ride into a life-altering event. Our team excels at handling all areas of negligent driving law.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Unsafe property conditions, like wet floors, broken stairs, or poor lighting, can lead to serious injuries. California’s premises liability laws require property owners to maintain safe environments. When they don’t, we can hold them accountable.

Delivery Driver Accidents

The rise in delivery services has led to increased accidents caused by hurried or distracted drivers. Our Encino injury lawyers know how to navigate these complex claims.

What Should I Do After an Accident?

The moments after an accident are overwhelming, but your actions can protect your rights. Here’s what to do:

• Ensure your safety—move to a safe location and check for injuries;
• Call emergency services—severe injuries may not show immediate symptoms;
• Exchange information—collect names, insurance details, and license plate numbers;
• Document the scene—take photographs of the accident, your injuries, and road conditions;
• Gather witness information—these statements can support claims;
• Notify your insurance company—provide accurate information without admitting fault; and
• Consult an Encino personal injury lawyer—early legal guidance helps strengthen your case.

Taking these steps protects both your health and your right to full compensation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

In California, you generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit from the accident date. However, shorter deadlines apply for:

• Claims against government entities,
• Cases involving minors, and
• Injuries discovered later (discovery rule).

Missing these deadlines could cost you your right to recover damages. Don’t wait. An Encino personal injury attorney can help you file on time and protect your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Still Recover Compensation If the Other Driver Was Uninsured?

Yes. California law requires insurers to offer uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, you can often file a claim under your UM policy.

Will My Case Go to Trial?

Most personal injury cases settle outside of court. However, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial if negotiations fail. Our award-winning attorneys, members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and recognized by the National Trial Lawyers Top 100, know how to present compelling cases to juries. When you hire the Law Offices of Steers & Associates, you’re getting litigators ready to fight.

What Compensation Can I Seek After an Accident?

Depending on your case details, you may be eligible for compensation covering:

•  Past, current, and future medical expenses;
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity;
• Property damage, including vehicle repairs or replacement;
• Pain and suffering;
• Emotional distress; and
• Loss of enjoyment of life.

Insurance companies will try to minimize your injuries. We fight to maximize your recovery.

A recent review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was in an accident where my car was totaled. At first, I thought I could handle things by myself but then my pain began to get much worse. I hired Allen based on the recommendation of a friend and he did not disappoint. He was very fast in answering my calls and emails. He also got me the maximum settlement from the other person’s insurance and then got me compensation from my insurance too. – James
