Have You Suffered Injuries Due to Someone Else’s Negligence or Recklessness?

Personal injury cases are lawsuits filed by injured individuals or their representatives against the at-fault parties or entities responsible for the pain and suffering. While the initial personal injury claim may be filed with an insurance company, sometimes such claims may need to be settled with a lawsuit and courtroom case.

Personal injury cases may arise from the following:

Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, rideshare accidents, and commercial truck accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Slip and fall injuries and other premises liability accidents
Dog bites and animal attacks
Construction accidents
Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other catastrophic injuries
Wrongful death

Not every injury results in a personal injury case. To determine whether you have a viable claim against an at-fault party, it is strongly recommended that you seek the professional legal counsel of an experienced attorney. Contact our Los Angeles law firm to schedule a case evaluation with our legal team today.

What Sort of Compensation Could Be Recovered in Personal Injury Cases?

There are two primary categories of financial compensation that personal injury victims may seek to recover in a California personal injury case: economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover the financial losses incurred due to a personal injury accident. Financial recovery for monetary damages can include compensation for past medical bills, future medical expenses, physical therapy expenses, medication, home medical equipment, lost wages due to missed work, lost income earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket expenses related to your accident.

Economic damages are relatively easy to calculate, as you may have receipts for some of these expenses. However, calculating non-economic damages can be more complicated, as this type of financial compensation is meant for pain, suffering, and other non-financial losses. Non-economic damages can include a settlement for physical pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment in life, mental anguish, disability, disfigurement or dismemberment, post-traumatic stress disorder, loss of companionship or consortium, and wrongful death.

To maximize the financial recovery you stand to win for your personal injury case, you are strongly encouraged to work with a lawyer who can negotiate with the insurance companies and hold any at-fault party liable for their negligence. Contact our law firm to speak with our legal staff today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Were you wrongfully terminated from your place of employment?

In California, employers have the legal right to terminate employees for almost any reason unless that reason violates public policy. Under state law, public policy positions supersede at-will employment doctrines. You may have been wrongfully terminated if you were fired based on your gender, sexual orientation, race, national origin, marital status, pregnancy, or for reporting unsafe workplace conditions or whistleblowing. To ensure that your case is an example of wrongful termination, you must seek the legal counsel of an employment attorney.

What evidence do you need to prove workplace sexual harassment?

There are two types of sexual harassment recognized under California law: quid pro quo and hostile work environments. The law defines a hostile work environment sexual harassment case as any unwanted sexual advances or verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is directed at one employee because of that employee’s gender. To prove a hostile work environment sexual harassment case, your claim must establish that this sexual conduct was unwelcome, severe, and pervasive. Another way to prove a sexual harassment case is if an employer provides less favorable conditions to one worker based on their gender or sex. Examples include discriminatory hiring practices, work schedules, vacation leave benefits, job evaluations, disciplinary measures, promotions, wages, and termination. To prove quid pro quo sexual harassment in the workplace, you must be able to show that your supervisor or manager demanded sexual favors in return for employment, benefits, promotions, or job security.

Is there a time limit for filing a personal injury claim in Los Angeles, CA?

In most California personal injury law cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file either a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the at-fault party. However, there may be exceptions to the standard rule, so it is always wise to seek professional legal guidance sooner rather than later. For example, if a government entity was responsible for your injuries, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit is only six months. Another instance of personal injury cases differing from the standard statute of limitations is in instances of medical malpractice. If you were injured due to medical negligence, you have either three years from the date of the injury or one year from the discovery of the injury, whichever occurs first, to file your claim.

What is pure comparative negligence?

California follows a pure comparative fault (also known as pure comparative negligence) rule for shared liability and personal injury accidents. Under state laws, more than one party can share fault for the cause of an accident and the associated injuries and financial losses. Liability may even extend to the victim of the accident. If you were partially at fault for the accident and resulting injuries, your financial recovery will be reduced accordingly. For example, if you were 30% responsible for the accident, a judge or jury would cut your maximum compensation by 30%.

Does a personal injury attorney represent wrongful death claims?

If you have been injured in an accident, you can file a personal injury lawsuit for a fair settlement. However, if an accident results in a victim’s death, it will be up to the decedent’s representatives to file a lawsuit on their behalf with a wrongful death claim. California’s wrongful death statutes restrict matters to only specific individuals who can file such a lawsuit as a personal representative or immediate family member. Surviving family members who may be able to file a wrongful death suit with the assistance of a personal injury attorney include the surviving spouse, child, domestic partner, grandchild, and, in some cases, parents. We have years of experience as personal injury advocates serving clients in wrongful death lawsuits.

What determines the value of your personal injury case?

No two personal injury cases are exactly alike. Several factors will determine the value of your case and how easy it is to reach a full settlement. Factors that could influence how much your personal injury case is worth include the extent of your medical bills, how long you missed work, whether you can return to your place of employment, the value of applicable insurance policies, your dependence, whether you were injured on the job, whether you are partially responsible for the accident, and whether you are expected to make a full recovery or not. If the responsible party’s insurer does not provide adequate insurance coverage, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party themselves.

Are green card holders eligible to become United States citizens?

There are many immigration options and legal means for foreign-born nationals to become green card holders and eventually become United States citizens. If you are already a green card holder, you could be eligible to file for US citizenship 90 days prior to your 5th year after becoming a legal permanent resident if you meet additional essential criteria. If you are a green card holder married to a US citizen, you may be eligible to apply for citizenship after three years.

Can immigrants transfer from temporary visa status to legal permanent residency?

There are many temporary non-immigrant visas available to foreign nationals coming to the United States for work, education, leisure, and other reasons. Some of these foreign nationals can adjust their status from temporary visas to becoming lawful permanent residents. The first step of the process is determining whether you are eligible for a green card through sponsorship by a relative or employer or through self-petitioning. If you are eligible, you must file the necessary applications with the US government. Our Los Angeles law firm would be proud to assist you in your immigration journey.
