Personal Injury Law Fundamentals

There are several situations to which personal injury law applies:

Accidents – The rules apply when someone acts negligently, resulting in harm to someone else. Some example situations include car crashes, wrongful death, and slips and falls.

Defamation – This involves someone making a slanderous statement that harms the reputation of whomever or whatever they’re talking about.
Defective Products – Defendants can be held responsible for injuries their products cause even when they didn’t intend wrongdoing or were negligent. An example of this is a product liability claim that arises from a faulty piece of furniture that injures a child.
Intentional Acts – The law applies to situations in which someone intended to cause harm to someone else. An example of this is assault and battery.

The Value of Personal Injury Claims

If you’re thinking about submitting a personal injury claim for your cause of injury, whether it was a car crash or slip and fall, you might not have an understanding of how much your case is worth. This involves calculating the monetary cost of your injuries and the mental and physical harm you have suffered as a result of those injuries. In especially heinous cases, punitive damages are considered to punish the conduct of the defendant.

In a successful case, the individual or entity the court finds legally liable for your accident will pay the monetary damages to you. The amount of the award may be decided during a negotiation with the defendant and the defendant’s insurer and lawyers, or a jury or judge may order the damage award after a trial.

Types of Recoverable Damages

We attempt to recover all possible damages for clients who are injured in accidents throughout the San Fernando Valley. These damages include:

• Exemplary Punitive Damages (if appropriate)
• Loss of Enjoyment from Life Activities
• Lost Earnings, the Lost Capacity to Earn and Work Missed Even After You Received Payments for Missed Time or Used Benefits
• Medical Services Such as Ambulance, Dental, Doctor, Hospital and Therapy Costs
• Pain, Suffering and Inconvenience
• Property Damage Such as the Inability to Use the Property, Rental Charges and Declined Value if Your Property is No Longer Worth as much as Before the Accident
• Any Other Damages that are Appropriate for Your Situation

Although the law may entitle victims of personal injury to recover damages related to their injuries, sometimes getting the money is a lengthy and strenuous process, particularly if you don’t know your rights and the law. People who aren’t aware of the actual worth of their claim might accept an offer that is too low from the defendant’s insurer. An accomplished San Fernando personal injury attorney will help you recognize your rights and seek the monetary award you deserve and need.

Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer

Many people are concerned with the expense of hiring personal injury lawyers to represent their cases and whether or not they can pay the fees on top of the bills for their injuries. Most lawyers in this practice area only receive payment if you are awarded damages, and they only take a portion of the damages you recover. Before you hire a lawyer for representation, you must understand and agree with the fee.

Victims of Serious Injuries

If you suffered a serious injury in an accident, it’s crucial that you get in touch with a personal injury lawyer immediately. A seasoned lawyer can guide you through the process, helping you avoid mistakes that could affect how your claim is handled, providing you with advice so that you can make informed choices and helping you seek the highest amount of monetary damages to which you are entitled under personal injury legislation.
