About personal injury law

A Los Angeles personal injury lawyer can fight for you

Every year, thousands of people die or are injured in auto accidents in California. Others are seriously injured in motorcycle accidents, bike accidents or sustain injuries from painful dog bites.

Types of losses in a personal injury

A loss can be any of the following, or a combination of these things:

  • Physical injury
  • Damage to property
  • Emotional trauma

You are entitled to pursue damages if you were harmed due to the negligence of another individual or party. "Damages" is a legal term that refers to a sum of money you are paid for your loss. Depending on the circumstances of your personal injury, you may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering, among other losses.

Liability

The extent of a party's liability relates to the degree of responsibility he or she has in the injury, accident, or loss that has occurred. Certain cases may apportion that responsibility in full to a single party. In other cases, it may be shared between two or more parties. The liable party may be obligated to compensate injury victims for their loss.

Statute of limitations

State laws set statute of limitations. Such laws limit the period of time during which an injury victim may seek to recover damages from the liable party. To avoid having a personal injury settlement diminished or negated by failure to meet the limits imposed by California's statutes of limitation, we urge to you seek expert legal counsel right away.
