How May We Help You?
What Determines a Personal Injury In California?
The personal injury laws of California stipulate that a personal injury claim may be filed when an individual suffers harm or a loss that stems from a physical, psychological, or emotional injury. California law also states that any individual may be held liable for deliberately or negligently causing harm to another person.
It is important to remember that in California personal injury cases, the state follows what is known as a comparative fault system. If the plaintiff was responsible for causing a portion of their injury to occur, then their eventual damages will be reduced by the percentage of their fault.
Due to the complexities of personal injury cases, if you have suffered an injury, it is in your best interest to hire a knowledgeable injury attorney to assist you with your case. There are strict time limits as to how long you have to file a claim.

What Should I Do After Being Injured in an Accident?
If you have been injured in an accident, you should take certain steps to protect yourself.
- Call 911 immediately: Even if you do not feel injured, it is best to call law enforcement and report the accident promptly.
- Secure the scene: In a car accident, remove vehicles from the roadway in order to reduce potential hazards to other drivers. In other types of accidents, ensure that the hazard has been removed or that others are warned and kept away to prevent more accidents.
- Exchange information: In a car accident, t is vital that you exchange information with the other driver by getting their name, address, and driver’s license number. In other types of accidents, get the names and contact information of witnesses and any responsible parties.
- Gather evidence: Gather information from other witnesses and bystanders who saw the accident occur. It is also important that you take a good number of photographs that document the accident scene, including property damage.
- Seek medical treatment: Be certain to obtain the medical treatment you need. Not all personal injuries caused by an accident are obvious, such as whiplash, internal bleeding, or a concussion. Accident victims may become aware of their injuries at a later time. Having medical records from the time of the accident may help your case later.
- Contact your insurance company: This can be done from the scene or at home.
- Consult with an attorney: After being involved in any type of accident, it is highly recommended that you seek legal counsel immediately. It is better to have an attorney on board from the beginning in the event your claim is disputed.

FAQs
Can I receive compensation for my injuries even if I was partially to blame for the accident?
The State of California has what is known as Comparative Negligence Law. This law states that if the victim suffered an injury and they are determined to be partially at fault, the amount of compensation that they receive will be reduced by their allocated percentage of fault for the accident. This law may be utilized in cases that involve multiple defendants as it can reduce the degree of fault in a case. Our personal injury attorneys can explain in better detail how comparative negligence works in California.
Should I settle for the first offer that I receive from the insurance company?
Insurance companies have their own financial best interests at heart. Often, they attempt to offer you a settlement that may sound good but, in reality, is not fully favorable to you. Many car accident victims manifest their injuries at a later time, such as whiplash or a concussion. In addition, the insurance company may also attempt to delay or outright deny your claim. Never accept any type of offer without first speaking to a personal injury attorney.
Should I remove my loved one from a nursing facility if I suspect neglect or abuse?
If you suspect that your family member has been injured or abused in a nursing home or other care facility, you should make immediate arrangements to have them removed as soon as possible. It may be necessary to have them examined by a physician or taken to a hospital for treatment of their injuries. If you have trouble placing your family member in another facility right away, they may have to stay with you temporarily until a place opens up for them. Of course, this may depend on the level of care that they require.
Is there a time limit on how long there is to file a wrongful death claim?
Under California law, typically, an immediate family member only has two years from the date of death in which they may file a claim. There are certain circumstances in which an extension can be granted, such as when the party responsible leaves the state or the fault was not discovered by the family until a later time. If you attempt to file a claim after the two-year period, it will most likely be dismissed.
Should I speak with the insurance company right after I have been injured in a car accident?
If you have been injured in an auto accident, you should never speak with the insurance company until you have consulted with an accident lawyer. Often in accident cases, emotions are running extremely high, and victims may find it difficult to make sound decisions. If you have sustained injuries in a car accident, contact a qualified personal injury attorney immediately. Often insurance companies will try to record your statement to use against you at a later time.
Do I need legal representation in order to file an insurance claim for a car accident?
You do not need a lawyer to file an insurance claim after you have been involved in an accident. However, it is always best to consult with a qualified accident lawyer before signing any legal paperwork or taking the first settlement offer. We can help establish liability and gather all of the evidence necessary to strengthen your claim and recover more compensation for you.
Can I sue for damages if I was injured while I was on a property without the owner’s permission?
If you were not a guest, licensee, or invitee on another individual’s property, then technically, you were trespassing. Therefore, you have no legal right to file a claim against the owner for any injuries that you may have received. A property owner does not have the right to intentionally harm any individual who is caught illegally on their land, however, and if a person is injured, they do have a legal obligation to seek help for them.
