Ventura Auto Collision Attorney

Attorney Cohen’s success is demonstrated by the millions of dollars he has won for his clients and by the fact that he is regularly consulted by the media because of his decades of experience with and extensive knowledge of personal injury law. While many attorneys try to stand out by plastering their websites with awards, these are often awards that they have paid for. If you are looking for the real deal, a lawyer who will be both “aggressive and brash” in his fight to protect your rights, these are the words that the Wall Street Journal used to describe Attorney Cohen. These are essential qualities needed to fearlessly stand up for the rights of injury victims and their families.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do most personal injury cases settle for?

Personal injury settlement amounts vary widely depending on factors like injury severity, liability clarity, and economic impacts. In Ventura County, minor injury cases might settle for $10,000-$30,000, while severe injuries can reach six or seven figures. Our firm has recovered millions for clients throughout California, including several multi-million dollar verdicts for catastrophic injuries. While no attorney can guarantee specific outcomes, we thoroughly evaluate each case’s unique circumstances and provide realistic compensation estimates during your free consultation, helping you make informed decisions about your legal options.

How much do we charge?

We charge nothing unless we win your case. Our Ventura personal injury law firm works exclusively on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay zero upfront costs or hourly fees. Instead, we receive an agreed-upon percentage of your settlement or verdict only after successfully recovering compensation for you. This approach allows anyone to access quality legal representation regardless of financial situation. During your complimentary initial consultation, we’ll transparently discuss our fee structure, answer your questions about costs, and explain how contingency fees protect your interests while aligning our success with yours.

Do I need to hire a lawyer for a car accident?

While minor fender-benders might not need legal help, having a lawyer for serious car accidents typically leads to better settlements. Insurance companies often offer much less to unrepresented victims and may push for quick settlements before you understand your full damages. Our Ventura attorneys handle all insurance communications, gather evidence, document injuries, and fight for maximum compensation while you focus on recovery. Most clients find that attorney representation results in significantly higher settlements, even after legal fees.

Will my case go to trial?

Most personal injury cases settle before trial, with over 95% resolved through negotiation. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which often leads to higher settlement offers from insurance companies who want to avoid court. Several factors influence whether your case proceeds to trial, including liability clarity, insurance company cooperation, and the compensation gap between demands and offers. Attorney Wayne Cohen has been recognized as a top trial attorney many times throughout his career and isn’t afraid to take your case before a jury when necessary to secure fair compensation. We’ll keep you informed about your case’s progress and discuss all settlement offers with you before making decisions.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

You likely have a personal injury case if someone’s carelessness caused you harm and measurable damages. This includes car accidents where a driver ran a red light, falls on poorly maintained property, dog bites, medical errors, or injuries from defective products. The key elements are: someone had a duty to act reasonably, they failed that duty, and you were injured as a result. Strong documentation helps – medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and photos. Our firm provides free case evaluations to review your situation and explain your options without any obligation.

“If you’ve had a serious Ventura car accident or personal injury, it’s hard to make a decision about which firm to hire. All of the information from the websites you’re probably researching seems to blend. So, ask yourself, has any other lawyer had these press appearances? Not awards that are paid for, not ridiculous claims that cannot be verified, and no cheesy tag lines (Get Cash Now!) —but legitimate, third-party verification and unparalleled credentials. Don’t take a chance on your case … it’s just not worth the risk.”
