How to Navigate a Personal Injury Claim During the Holiday Season
The holiday season is a joyous time stuffed to the brim with family, friends, and events of all kinds. Decorations are put with unsecured ladders, the streets are packed with drivers, and unfortunately, scattered amongst the cheer is the likelihood of an accident.

Our firm has years of documented successes and experience and would love to help ease some of your stress today.
How to Navigate Your Personal Injury Claim During the Holiday Season
Don’t try to fit in a series of legal negotiations with an insurance company between family events this holiday season. When navigating your personal injury claim, your only and best option is to partner with NK Law Group. While you focus on healing and recovering with family and friends, our team will get to work on the following important aspects of your case:
Gathering Evidence
We will begin the claim process by conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding your holiday accident. For example, if you were in a motor vehicle accident with a driver who had a little too much eggnog, our team would collect relevant evidence to help demonstrate their negligence and intoxication directly resulted in your injuries.
Examples of pertinent information could include eyewitness accounts, traffic camera footage, black box data if applicable, detailed medical records, BAC results, police reports, and even expert testimony or opinion.
Establishing Liability
Using the collected evidence, our team will help establish liability and identify an at-fault party. This is done by demonstrating the four basic components of negligence have occurred:
- The liable party owed you a standard of care
- They breached this care with a reckless or negligent action
- This breach caused an accident
- The accident directly resulted in your injury, property damage, or a family member’s wrongful death
California currently adheres to a pure comparative negligence law, which means you can still recover damages even if you are found to be partially responsible for the accident. As long as you are not deemed 100% responsible, you can still file a personal injury claim. It is important to note your damages will be adjusted according to your percentage of fault.
Filing Your Claim
You have two years to file your personal injury claim according to California’s statute of limitations. Our team is prepared to handle all aspects of your claim, including the filing and all scheduling, communications, and negotiations with the insurance company. We will fight for a worthy settlement and include evidence demonstrating the full extent of the cost of your losses.
If an adequate agreement cannot be reached, we are even prepared to take your case to court.
