Personal Injury Claims
Our team handles various personal injury cases, including:
- Car and auto accidents
- Motorcycle
- Pedestrian accidents
- Animal Attacks
- Slips and Falls
These are some of the most common causes of personal injury for which the victim can be compensated. Even though many accidents are minor, they frequently cause serious injuries, both physical and psychological. Therefore, in addition to physical injury, accident victims often experience significant emotional distress, lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you recover for those losses in the form of financial compensation.
Unfortunately, many accident victims never receive the full amount of damages to which they are entitled. Many accident victims are unaware of the full value of their claims, and often agree to accept the first offer from the insurance company.
Insurance companies, even your own, may not always hold your best interest as their top priority. Insurance companies want to settle your case quickly and for as little money as possible based on your injuries. Because physical injuries may develop shortly after the accident, and may require medical attention for a prolonged period of time, you need time to determine just how serious your injury is, what medical treatment, physical therapy, suggested recovery time, and the value of your lost wages or loss of use.
Lemberg & Castro Law will make sure your interests are placed ahead of the insurance company. Therefore, it is imperative to consult an experienced attorney who understands personal injury law as soon as possible.
Dog Bites
In California, when a dog bite causes injuries, the owner or person responsible for the dog may be legally obligated to pay the victim’s damages. California has specific laws governing the issue of domestic pet attacks. If a domestic pet has seriously injured you or a family member, you may have claims against the animal’s owner. All victims of dog bites and other animal attacks should consult with an experienced dog bite attorney as soon as possible after an attack. At Lemberg & Castro Law, we are experienced in this area, and we can help.
The law in California states that a dog owner is strictly liable for any personal injury resulting from a bite by their dog, even if the animal has never bitten anyone before and the owner was taking proper precautions, so long as the injury occurred on public property.
The injuries caused by dog bites can be both physically and emotionally devastating. As an experienced personal injury law firm, we can help you determine the sources of recovery for your injury depending on the person responsible for the animal that attacked you. We can also make sure that you have the necessary resources to assist in the physical and emotional recovery related to an animal attack or dog bite.
Slip & Fall / Premises Liability
Were you injured on property owned by another individual due to poor or inadequate maintenance? The attorneys at Lemberg & Castro Law are experienced in premises liability issues in personal injury cases and are here to help. Under general principles of premises liability in California, a proprietor, commercial landlord, or property owner owes invitees a duty to exercise reasonable care in keeping the premises reasonably safe. A proprietor is required to act as a reasonably prudent person under the same circumstances.
In order to establish liability, a key factor is the proprietor’s actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition. Actual knowledge of the dangerous condition is not required. A proprietor can be found liable if evidence suggests that the dangerous condition was present for a sufficient period of time that the property owner should have been aware. Our experienced premises liability attorneys at Lemberg & Castro Law can help you demonstrate the owner’s notice by showing that the property had not been inspected within a reasonable time before your injury.
It is the plaintiff’s burden to show that the owner had notice of the defect or dangerous condition and had sufficient time to correct it. Lemberg & Castro Law evaluates the nature of the condition and looks at factors that can be used to argue the dangerous condition existed for a sufficient period of time that a reasonable person would have warned of and/or made repairs to the premises to make it reasonably safe.
