Accidents Our Team Handles

Personal injury law can be extremely complicated, especially when it comes to determining who can be held liable for damages. For instance, after a car accident, it may seem obvious that the driver is at fault, only for further investigation to show that the car manufacturer ultimately caused the accident. Our attorney is able to analyze the details of your unique case to understand who should be brought to justice.

We’ve helped clients in our community after they’ve been injured in the following types of accidents:

• Amusement park accidents: Amusement parks are obligated to create a safe environment for their guests. When accidents occur, they could be held responsible for negligence.
• Bicycle accidents: Bicyclists can be injured by other bicyclists or pedestrians, though these accidents are typically caused by motor vehicle drivers when bicyclists are crossing the street or riding on the side of the road.
• Bus accidents: These accidents often involve numerous victims, and liability can be complicated because multiple parties can be held responsible, from bus drivers to private companies to school districts.
• Car accidents: One of the leading causes of injuries in the United States, millions of car accidents occur and injure drivers and passengers each year. Some common types of car accidents include rear-end accidents, T-bone accidents, and collisions caused by speeding.
• Premises liability: This area of personal injury law refers to accidents and injuries that occur on someone’s property. Slip and fall accidents are the most common premises liability case and property owners or managers are typically held responsible.
• Product liability: Consumers can suffer from injuries as a result of using dangerous or defective products. In these cases, product designers, manufacturers, and distributors can be held liable for damages.
• Truck accidents: Trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds and thus often cause the most serious injuries to other drivers and passengers. Truck drivers, trucking companies, manufacturers, and cargo loaders have all been at-fault for these accidents.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

According to California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, you have two years to file a personal injury claim before the statute of limitations ends.

Exceptions that can change this two-year time period do exist so it’s important to speak to an attorney about your case as soon as you can.

What are Catastrophic Injuries?

Our law firm also has demonstrated experience serving clients who’ve suffered catastrophic injuries in accidents. Catastrophic injuries refer to injuries that are long-lasting or permanent, and thus life-changing. While victims who have received bruises or sprains can recover in a few days or weeks, those suffering from catastrophic injuries may never regain the use of their limbs and require lifelong medical care.

Examples of catastrophic injuries include amputations, burns, spinal cord and neck injuries like paralysis, and head and brain injuries, including brain damage. Because these injuries are serious, they can be costly to treat. Our attorney can factor not just your emergency costs of treatment, but future expenses as well to ensure that you receive everything you need to take care of yourself in the years to come.

We strive to relieve you of the burdens of filing a personal injury claim so you and your family can grieve and heal together.
