Personal Injury Lawyer in California

An accident that results in personal injury can happen in a number of different ways. The laws that will govern your case will depend on the type of accident in which you were involved. Some of the most common areas of personal injury cases our skilled lawyers practice include:

• Motor vehicle accidents: Accidents involving motor vehicles are governed by tort law throughout California. If you have been hurt by another driver’s negligence, such as drunk driving or speeding, you must file a claim with the other driver’s insurance company to recover compensation.
• Catastrophic injuries: Some types of injuries are much more severe than others. Traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, and amputations are a few of these. Claims involving catastrophic injuries are far more complex than other cases. You must account for not only your current losses, but those you will incur in the future, as well. Insurance companies are also usually reluctant to pay these highly valued claims.
• Medical negligence: You visit a doctor or other healthcare professional to receive quality treatment for an illness or injury. When these professionals do not provide the high standard of care expected of them, they can be held liable for medical malpractice.
• Defective products: Manufacturers have a legal obligation to make sure the products they create are safe for consumers to use. When they fail to meet this obligation and they manufacture faulty or defective products, they can be held liable.
• Wrongful death: Tragically, sometimes an accident is so serious, the accident victim does not survive it. In these cases, surviving family members can file a wrongful death claim lawsuit against the party that caused the death.
