Common Injuries in a Personal Injury Claim

Whether you were involved in a car accident, motorcycle accident, or even an accident in an Uber or Lyft, our skilled personal injury attorneys go above and beyond to ensure all clients receive the very best experience from beginning to end. Common injuries we have represented in personal injury claims include:

What Types of Damages Could I Recover in a California Personal Injury Claim?

If you’ve suffered an injury in California, your personal injury attorney can help you pursue compensation for a variety of damages related to your claim. The following are some of the common types of damages you may be entitled to recover:

• Medical Bills: Compensation for all medical expenses associated with your injury, including hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and any ongoing medical treatments required as a result of the accident.
• Lost Income: If your injury has prevented you from working, you may be able to recover the income you lost during your recovery period. This includes not only wages but also other forms of compensation, such as bonuses and benefits you might have received had you been working.
• Loss of Consortium: This damage refers to the deprivation of the benefits of a family relationship due to injuries, including the loss of companionship, support, and affection between spouses or partners.
• Wrongful Death: If the personal injury results in death, the surviving family members may claim damages for the loss of financial support, funeral expenses, and the emotional distress associated with losing a loved one.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress you have endured as a result of the injury. This can also cover any ongoing discomfort, anxiety, stress, and the impact on your overall quality of life.

Common Situations Where Personal Injury Law Can Apply

We have decades of experience representing personal injury claims. The most common ones we have seen include:

• Accidents – If someone acted in a negligent manner that led to an accident that caused harm to another, the individual who is at fault may be the subject of a personal injury lawsuit. Common accidents include car accidents, medical malpractice, slip-and-falls, bicycle collisions, motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, bus accidents, airline accidents, and trucking accidents.
• Libel or Slander – A defamation lawsuit can be suitable when untrue statements cause damage to one’s reputation.
• Intentional Injury – In cases such as assault and battery, sexual assault, or nursing home abuse, where an injury is intentional, a personal injury lawsuit can help victims recover compensation for the injustices they’ve suffered at the hands of another.
• Dog Bites or Animal Attacks – When an animal or dog attacks someone and causes harm to that individual or their property, a dog bite lawsuit can aid victims in getting compensation for their losses and/or injuries.

Why You Should Hire Our Personal Injury Attorneys

Hiring an attorney to help you with a personal injury case has a few distinct advantages.

• Secondary investigation. Our personal injury law firm has a dedicated team of investigators that you can rely on to help reconstruct an accident and determine who is at fault when the cause is disputed. We’ve seen this tactic be extremely useful in disputed personal injury cases that our team has handled over the years.
• Multiple parties are involved. If you have to deal with fighting multiple insurance companies in your case, our lawyers can help you build a strong argument supported by evidence that can give you a better chance of winning the case in the end.
• Insurance companies are acting in bad faith. Bad faith insurance cases are quite common, as many insurers may believe that they can strong-arm their policyholders and that the insured does not know how to respond to recover the funds they are entitled to. Our experienced California and Nevada personal injury attorney can help you secure a fair settlement from the insurance company.
