Car accident law holds negligent drivers—and their insurers—accountable for the physical, emotional, and financial harm they cause.
In Palmdale, high-risk corridors like SR-14, Palmdale Blvd/SR-138, 47th Street East, and East Avenue S see frequent collisions caused by speeding, distraction, and unsafe turns. These crashes often leave victims facing medical bills, damaged vehicles, missed work, and long recoveries.
At Prestige Law Firm P.C., we focus on four urgent needs after a car crash: securing immediate and ongoing medical care (often beginning at Palmdale Regional Medical Center), recovering lost wages and future earning capacity, protecting your rights against insurance companies, and holding negligent drivers fully accountable.
As a boutique Palmdale firm, we combine personalized attention with deep knowledge of the Michael D. Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse and Los Angeles County procedures.

P. Paul Aghabala is the President and founder of Prestige Law Firm P.C., a boutique practice dedicated to personal injury and car accident litigation. His journey to becoming a trial lawyer is rooted in resilience. Paul’s family, as members of a minority group, fled a religious revolution to seek safety and freedom in America.
That early experience shaped his relentless drive to fight for justice on behalf of those whose voices might otherwise go unheard.
Paul earned his B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of California, Irvine before graduating from Southwestern University School of Law, where he was recognized for outstanding achievement. He also passed the U.S. Patent Bar Exam and is a registered United States Patent and Trademark Office Agent.
With over 19 years of litigation experience, Paul has secured multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements for clients across California.
Over his career, Paul has served as lead attorney in 15 trials and co-counsel in 10 others, proving his willingness to take cases all the way to verdict when justice demands it.
Paul’s practice spans catastrophic car accidents, spinal and brain injuries, wrongful death, workers’ compensation crossover claims, and employment-related injury cases.
Motorcycle crashes take many forms, and each comes with unique legal challenges. We represent riders and families in all types of motorcycle accident cases across Palmdale, Lancaster, and the Antelope Valley.
Among the most common accidents in Los Angeles County, rear-end crashes are often caused by tailgating, distraction, or sudden stops.
These can lead to whiplash, spinal injuries, and head trauma. Multi-vehicle pileups create complex liability issues, requiring experienced legal investigation.
Head-on collisions are frequently fatal due to the combined force of two vehicles. They often occur when drivers cross the center line from distraction, fatigue, or intoxication. Victims of these accidents may face catastrophic brain and spinal cord injuries.
Side-impact collisions, also called T-bones, are common at intersections throughout Palmdale. They usually result from drivers running red lights or failing to yield.
Because vehicle sides have less protection than fronts or rears, these crashes often cause severe internal injuries.
Many dangerous collisions happen when one driver misjudges oncoming traffic while turning left. These are frequent in congested areas and can involve shared fault, requiring careful reconstruction and witness testimony.
Unfortunately, hit-and-runs remain a persistent problem in Palmdale. Victims may still pursue compensation through their uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM), but these cases demand aggressive representation to maximize recovery.
SUVs, pickups, and vans are especially prone to rollovers, which can cause roof crush injuries, spinal cord damage, and ejection fatalities.
Even single-vehicle crashes may involve third-party liability, for example, unsafe road design, poor signage, or defective vehicle components.
Drunk and drugged driving continue to be a leading cause of fatal crashes in L.A. County. These cases often allow for punitive damages, punishing reckless drivers and increasing victim compensation.
Often caused by unsafe lane changes or merging, sideswipe accidents may look minor at first but can push vehicles off the road or into other cars, leading to pileups. Soft-tissue injuries and fractures are common outcomes.
When crashes result in loss of life, families deserve justice. We pursue wrongful death claims to cover funeral costs, lost household income, and the emotional toll of losing a loved one in a preventable accident.
No matter what type of crash caused your injuries, from a rear-end on SR-14 to a catastrophic rollover on Palmdale Blvd, Prestige Law Firm P.C. is ready to fight for you.
Contact our Palmdale office today for a free consultation and case review.
Take a deep breath, stay at the scene, and check yourself and others for injuries. If vehicles can be moved, get to a safe location away from traffic and turn on hazard lights.
Even if you feel “okay,” many serious injuries aren’t immediately obvious. In emergencies, go directly to Palmdale Regional Medical Center or call for EMS. Quick treatment not only protects your health but also documents injuries for your claim.
Dial 911 and request an officer at the scene. Police will document the crash and create an official report, which is critical evidence if you later file a claim in L.A. County Superior Court – Antelope Valley Courthouse. Stick to the facts and avoid admitting fault.
Collect names, phone numbers, driver’s license details, insurance information, and license plate numbers from all involved. Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, skid marks, and any visible injuries. Witness contact info can also strengthen your case.
Keep all accident-related documents, including the police report, medical bills, and correspondence with insurers, in one safe place. These records are essential for building a strong claim.
Insurance adjusters often try to minimize payouts. Do not give recorded statements, sign documents, or accept settlement offers before speaking with a lawyer.
Avoid posting about the accident on social media, as your words could be used against you.
Your case begins with a free consultation where we evaluate liability, available insurance coverage, and your immediate medical and financial needs.
From day one, our team takes over all communication with insurance companies to protect your rights, preserve evidence, and document the facts while they’re still fresh.
We connect you with leading medical professionals in Palmdale and Los Angeles County to diagnose and treat your injuries, often on a lien basis so you pay nothing upfront.
Meanwhile, we launch a thorough investigation: reviewing police reports, medical records, accident scene photos, vehicle black-box data, and if necessary, working with accident reconstruction experts. This stage ensures your injuries are documented and the at-fault party’s negligence is clearly established.
Once we have gathered the evidence, we build a detailed demand package that tells your story and quantifies damages, from medical bills to lost wages and pain and suffering. The insurance company may accept, counter, or reject this demand.
The majority of cases settle during this stage, before a lawsuit is filed. When settlement occurs, we also negotiate directly with medical providers to reduce bills and maximize your recovery.
If the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we file a lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court – Antelope Valley Courthouse. Filing elevates your case and often pushes insurers to take negotiations more seriously. During discovery, we exchange evidence with the defense, take depositions, and hire expert witnesses to strengthen your case. You’ll have the opportunity to tell your story under oath, and we’ll question the at-fault driver to uncover critical testimony.
Before trial, most cases go through mediation with a neutral party who works to bring both sides together for a fair settlement.
In some cases, arbitration is required, especially if we are pursuing recovery from your own insurance company under uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Many cases resolve here if insurers realize the strength of your claim.
If settlement isn’t possible, we are fully prepared to present your case in front of a jury. Our trial lawyers have decades of courtroom experience and we will fight to ensure a jury of your peers understands the full impact of your injuries. The jury then decides the amount of financial compensation you are entitled to under the law.
If you’ve been injured in a Palmdale car accident, the law allows you to pursue financial recovery for both your direct expenses and the long-term impact on your life. These damages are divided into three main categories: economic, non-economic, and punitive.
Economic damages cover the tangible financial losses caused by the accident. These are measurable costs that can be proven through bills, receipts, and records, including:
Property damage, including vehicle repair or replacement and rental car costs Because serious injuries often prevent victims from working while medical bills continue to mount, recovering full economic damages is essential for financial stability.
Economic damages cover the tangible financial losses caused by the accident. These are measurable costs that can be proven through bills, receipts, and records, including:
Non-economic damages compensate for the intangible losses that affect your quality of life after a crash. These may not show up on receipts, but they often carry the deepest impact:
Inconvenience and diminished independence Though no amount of money can erase these hardships, financial compensation can provide security and access to the care and support you need moving forward.
Punitive damages are awarded in rare cases to punish reckless or intentional misconduct and deter similar behavior in the future. These are not tied to your actual losses but are imposed when the at-fault driver’s actions were especially egregious—such as:
While not available in every case, punitive damages may significantly increase the overall recovery when the defendant’s behavior shows a blatant disregard for human life and safety.
At Prestige Law Firm P.C., we fight to maximize every category of damages available to you, so you can recover your health, your livelihood, and your peace of mind.

Generally 2 years from the date of injury; 3 years for property damage. Claims involving government entities require an administrative claim within 6 months before you can sue. Do not wait, deadlines can be shorter in specific scenarios.
You may recover through uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, plus medical payments coverage if applicable. We also investigate third-party liability (e.g., road defects, employers, dram shop issues where allowed).
Most resolve in negotiation or mediation. We prepare every case for trial, which often drives higher settlements. Timeline depends on injury severity, treatment length, and insurer cooperation.
Simple claims can resolve in a few months after you finish treatment; litigated cases can take 12–24+ months. We push for efficient, fair outcomes without sacrificing value.
Contingency fee. You pay no fees unless we win. We advance case costs; they’re reimbursed from the recovery per your retainer terms.
