Getting hurt in an accident that was caused by someone’s carelessness can feel senseless and frustrating. As a personal injury lawyer, I understand the physical pain, emotional distress and financial burdens that you may be facing.

My goal is to help you navigate this challenging time and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Legal Representation For Personal Injury Claims

I offer comprehensive legal services for a wide range of personal injury claims. Here are some of the types of personal injury cases I handle:

  • Motor vehicle accidents: I represent those who have been injured in serious car accidents, rideshare accidents, truck crashes and motorcycle accidents.
  • Bicycle and pedestrian accidents: I represent those who have suffered serious injuries after being hit by a car while riding their bikes or crossing a street.
  • Premises liability claims: I represent clients who have been injured by negligent conditions on someone else’s property, such as a slip-and-fall accident or being hit by a falling object. I also represent victims of incidents that occurred because of negligent security.
  • Product liability claims: I handle cases where consumers have been injured by dangerous or defective products in the marketplace.

I am committed to helping clients with the most serious and catastrophic accident injuries. As a litigator with decades of experience, I have the ability and resources to handle complex injury cases. When a loved one is killed by the negligence or wrongdoing of someone else, I can help you pursue a wrongful death claim.

Types Of Catastrophic Injuries From Accidents

Accidents can result in various types of catastrophic injuries that require lifelong medical care. I have helped clients fight for compensation for their:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Severe burns
  • Amputations
  • Internal organ damage
  • Multiple fractures
  • Permanent disfigurement

These injuries can have a profound impact on your life and your ability to work and enjoy everyday activities. They can be the cause of severe emotional distress. As a seasoned litigator, I can help you negotiate a settlement with insurance companies or fight for you to recover damages by taking your case to trial. I want to help you get the compensation you need to cover your medical expenses, lost wages and other damages.

How Is Fault Determined In A California Personal Injury Case?

Determining fault in a California personal injury case involves proving that the other party was negligent and that their negligence caused your injuries. This includes proving:

  • That the wrongdoer had a duty of care.
  • The wrongdoer breached that duty.
  • Their actions and breach of duty directly caused your injuries.
  • You suffered damages as a result of your accident injuries.

In a successful personal injury case, an experienced personal injury lawyer will gather evidence and connect all the steps to prove that you deserve compensation for your damages and loss.

In addition, the state of California is an at-fault state for car accidents. This means that the person who caused a car crash will have to pay for the damages and losses incurred by others. If your own actions contributed to the accident, your ability to recover damages will be reduced by the percentage you were found to be at fault for the accident. As long as you weren’t more than 50% at fault for the accident, you might be able to recover compensation.
