If you were hurt in an accident in California, you could be able to file a claim against those who hurt you. You could have been in a car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway.

Understanding Negligence and Liability in California 

The reason you are able to file a claim or lawsuit in California is due to the state’s negligence and liability law. The law affirms that all people are liable for their actions when those actions cause others to be hurt, whether because of carelessness or recklessness.

For example, when someone crashes into you on a freeway, they can be held accountable through your personal injury claim, even when they didn’t purposely cause you harm.

If you believe your accident was brought about by someone else’s negligent or wrongful behavior, you can file a claim. In most situations, you will need to be able to prove the other person’s actions were negligent or dangerous. Your California injury lawyer at Eldessouky Law can assist you in bringing a claim and proving your case.

Types of Personal Injury Cases in California

What type of accident were you hurt in? The type of accident will help your attorney identify your case. Different laws apply to different accident types. For instance, if a negligent doctor injures you, your case will fall under medical malpractice laws. If a drunk driver caused your injury, car accident laws will affect your case.

Take a look at the different types of personal injury cases.

• Nursing Home Abuse – A nursing home abuse case is when an elderly adult is being abused or neglected in a nursing home. If your loved one did not receive proper care, you can fight back through the personal injury claim process.
• Wrongful Death – Deaths are upsetting for the family members of the deceased, but it’s more upsetting to lose a loved one in a preventable accident. When someone caused your loved one’s death because they were being careless or engaging in wrongful behavior, they should be held accountable.
• Medical Malpractice – Doctors are human, and they can make careless mistakes just like the rest of us. Only their mistakes are far more costly than the average person. Holding a doctor accountable for your medical injuries is possible through a medical malpractice claim.
• Dog Bites – Owners of dogs have a duty of care to the public. They must control their pets and keep others from harm. If a dog bites you, you could get justice and compensation by filing a dog bite claim in California.
• Car Accidents – Despite advances in vehicle safety, accidents still occur all too often. A claim could bring you the money you need to overcome your injuries and losses when you’ve been in a car accident caused by a dangerous or reckless driver.
• Product Liability – Products must be well made or they can cause people serious harm. When you’ve been hurt because of a product defect, you can go after the manufacturer for payment of your damages.
• Truck Accidents – Large commercial vehicles can cause catastrophic injuries for those involved in accidents. If you were hurt in a semi-truck accident, the trucker, trucking company, loading company, or another negligent party could be liable for your losses.
• Premises Liability – Accidents can occur when property owners don’t create a safe environment for guests and visitors. A property owner can be held accountable for your injuries because of premises liability laws in California.
• Motorcycle Collisions – In an instant, a motorcycle accident could change your entire life. If you didn’t cause your accident, you shouldn’t be blamed for it. The at-fault party could be held accountable through the civil court process.

Although different laws affect your case, it doesn’t matter what type of case you have with our firm. We can handle all types of personal injury cases. Reach out to our office to get help from a personal injury lawyer in California.

Serious Accident Injuries and How They Affect Your Life

It’s important to you to recover compensation for your accident because your injuries have probably changed your life. Even temporary injuries can require months of recovery time and could result in job loss, loss of wages, mental distress, and financial losses.

A permanent injury could result in mobility loss, inability to work, chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), ongoing medical treatment, and much more.

Let’s take a look at some serious injuries and how they impact your life.

• Traumatic Brain Injury – A head injury could limit your job prospects and your enjoyment of life. The inability to work could harm your financial stability.
• Spinal Cord Injury – Spine injuries can be permanent and result in partial or total paralysis. A spine injury could limit your employment prospects and hinder your financial freedom.
• Internal Injuries – Damage to organs and major body systems could affect your health for the rest of your life.
• Burn Injuries – Burns can cause severe scarring and disfigurement. They can also cause nerve and tissue damage, affecting your coordination and motor skills.
• Broken Bones – Broken bones take months to heal, meaning lost wages and an inability to enjoy your life fully. Some broken bones don’t heal properly, which could cause pain and limited mobility.
• Loss of Limb – The loss of a limb could be excruciating, and you could experience mental trauma. You may require the use of a mobility-assisting device and may be unable to work certain types of jobs.

Because of all of the negative ways injuries affect your life, it’s important for you to receive fair compensation. Monetary compensation allows you to pay for financial losses. It also helps you overcome the setbacks an injury could cause in your life.

Financial Compensation for a Personal Injury

Personal injuries cause a number of life hardships for victims. For instance, you are likely going to suffer from physical pain, mental trauma, financial costs, and scarring. There is no way to take back what happened to you. The only thing you can do now is move forward.

You could be compensated through a successful case settlement or court award for the following damages:

• Pain and suffering

• Scarring and disfigurement
• Lost income
• Lost ability to earn a living
