Contact Our Injury Lawyers Today

If you live in or around California you know that personal injury claims aren’t new. In fact, with the way people drive on the highways it’s a wonder that they aren’t filed every day of the week! Because personal injury law is nothing new, our team of attorneys has plenty of experience with the ins and outs of California personal injury law; the experience they need to help you get the settlement you deserve. If this is the first time you have ever had to file a personal injury claim, California personal injury law is probably about as familiar and easy to understand as trying to read Chinese-and by the time you’re done wading through all the legalese that the experts throw in to explain it to you it makes just about as much sense.

The complexities of California personal injury law is the number one reason that we advise anyone who has been injured to obtain the services of a personal injury attorney. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t understand the basics of California personal injury law, however. Personal injury refers to injury suffered as a result of an accident that you weren’t responsible for, however that accident happened to occur. The most common personal injury claims result from automobile (or other vehicular) accidents and other serious injuries, but California personal injury law also takes into consideration malpractice suits, wrongful death of a loved one (for any reason), pedestrian injuries or any other occasion on which you suffered because of the carelessness or negligence of another.

After you suffer an injury it’s vital that you contact a California personal injury attorney as soon as possible, while the memory of the accident and the events leading up to it are still clear in your mind. The statute of limitations in California for filing a personal injury suit is 2 years; however, our attorneys prefer to work with claims filed within twelve months of the injury to give our clients the best chance possible for success. It may seem as though an accident that caused serious personal injury is something you’ll never forget, but small details are quickly lost in the business of day to day living-and those details can mean the difference between receiving the settlement you’re entitled to and your case being dismissed when you have to prove the guilt of the party responsible for the accident.

Most personal injury cases never go to court, and for good reason. A personal injury case can generate an incredible amount of negative publicity for the individual responsible, and while for the average Joe that may not be much more detrimental than being ordered to pay thousands of dollars in damages it can be devastating for a major corporation whose business relies on its good reputation. Far better for them (and easier for you as the victim) to settle out of court. If your case does have to go to court, however, you can rest easy knowing that you have a good personal injury attorney on your side.

If you are awarded a settlement numerous factors are going to be considered. You may be eligible under California personal injury law to receive compensation for all medical expenses incurred as a result of the accident (including medications and in-home care), lost wages during your recovery period, therapy and rehabilitation, changes to your daily life because of the injury (such as child care if you are no longer able to care for your children) and property damage, as well as your pain, suffering and embarrassment.

The intricacy of California personal injury law often convinces victims that they really don’t want the hassle of filing a personal injury claim, but with a good personal injury attorney at your side California personal injury law can be the tool by which you finally receive the compensation you’re entitled to.
