Our Practice Areas

In the legal sense, personal injuries are emotional, mental or physical damage that a victim suffers in relation to an accident caused by the negligent actions of another person. The most well-known accidents involving personal injuries occur in dog bite attacks, medical malpractice, slip-and-fall accidents, assault and battery as well as injuries caused by defective products. The most common incidents resulting in personal injury occur in motor vehicles,with driving while texting rapidly on the rise.

We Are Ready to Serve You

Regardless of the scenario within which a personal injury may occur, the injuries themselves have similar characteristics in terms of broken bones, head and brain injuries, spinal injuries that may lead to paralysis, and even wrongful death, no matter what form of negligence was involved. Any injuries sustained in an accident will incur heavy costs in terms of medical bills and recovery, with permanent disabilities resulting in the need for lifelong medical care and treatment. Whether the injuries are serious or will only require weeks or months to resolve, filing a personal injury claim can help to recover the overwhelming costs that the negligent party is ultimately responsible for. If you have been involved in an accident that resulted in your personal injury, consider speaking with a skilled lawyer or see below for more information:

Brain Injuries

A severe brain injury can be caused by a fall, a blow to the head or by the whiplash effect commonly experienced in major car crashes.

California law clearly states that owners are responsible for their pets should they injure someone. Every year, there are over 700,000 injuries resulting from dog bites.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorists are usually unaware of pedestrians and motorcyclists as they are only looking out for other vehicles. In collisions, the damage done to motorcycle riders usually far outweighs the damage done to other people involved.

Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is generally defined as unlawful sexual activity carried out forcibly or under threat of injury and against the victim’s will. Legally, sexual assault involves not only a crime, but also gives rise to a right to compensation from the perpetrator to the victim. Thus, depending on the circumstances surrounding the assault, a victim may file a civil claim against the perpetrator or a third party, in addition to bringing criminal charges. If you or your child has been sexually assaulted, you must not hesitate to seek legal counsel from a personal injury attorney experienced in sexual assault cases in order to best protect your interests.

Truck Accidents

Driver fatigue, carelessness, and failure to follow safety regulations are some of the most common causes of truck accidents. Truck drivers can cause catastrophic injury to other motorists because of the size difference in vehicles.

Wrongful Death

California has a set of statutes which state the procedure to follow when there is a wrongful death. If you have lost a loved one, contact a Los Angeles, California personal injury attorney from our legal team. We could help you recover damages for loss of wages and pain and suffering.
