Personal injury occurs when you have suffered a harm to your body or mind (emotional suffering) due to the actions of another.

In certain instances, a person can be strictly liable your injuries and suffering regardless of their fault or intentions.
Automobile Accidents
Contact us immediately to protect your rights and to protect you from the insurance company taking advantage of you before you are represented.Here are some steps to take after an accident. It is vital that you exchange information with the other driver. If they refuse, contact the police department so they may compel the driver to exchange their information. The information exchanged should include their license plate number, driver’s license, registration card, and proof of insurance. Take as many photographs as possible. If you sense they may try to place the blame on you, look for cameras in nearby locations and ask if they would be willing to share their surveillance video with you.
Slip and Falls
Slip and falls can occur in restaurants and stores where the owner negligently allows a liquid or other dangerous condition to remain on the premises for a certain period of time. A surveillance video will usually be used to establish whether the dangerous condition (liquid) was on the premises for long enough for the owner or employees to clean it. Thus, it is in your interest to retain us to ensure the video is properly preserved.
Sidewalk Trip and Falls
Sidewalk trip and falls when there is an uplifted sidewalk that causes you to trip and fall. Our office has extensive experience handling these types of claims. It is crucial that you document your injuries and the location of the fall. Sidewalk trip and falls are government claims which have a shorter period of time for filing a claim.
Dog Bites
Dog owners are strictly liable for the injuries caused by their dogs. Strict liability laws impose liability on the dog owner regardless of their negligence or knowledge of the dog’s prior bites or dangerous propensities. On the other hand, landowners or property owners be liable a dog’s bite if they have actual knowledge of the animal’s dangerous propensities. California law sets a high standard in establishing liability on landowners for dog bites on their premises.

If you’ve been in a car accident here in California, your first priority should be your safety. Make sure to get medical help if you need it. Once you’re safe, take photos of the scene, exchange information with the other driver, and report the accident to the police if necessary. Afterward, we can reach out to the insurance companies and handle the claims process for you.
In California, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. Missing this deadline could mean losing your chance to seek compensation, so it’s best to get in touch with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
In a California personal injury case, you can seek compensation for things like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. You can also pursue non-economic damages like pain and suffering. In some cases, if the other party was extremely negligent, you might even be awarded punitive damages.
Every case is different, but a personal injury claim in California could take anywhere from a few months to a couple of years. It really depends on how complex the case is and whether the insurance company is willing to settle. If the case goes to trial, it could take longer, but an experienced attorney can help move things along and keep you informed throughout the process.
