Contrary to popular belief, personal injury lawyers are not greedy attorneys who will take any case and steal your money when they don't win. Like the majority of California personal injury lawyers, we only get paid if you win. So it is in our best interest to be selective about what personal injury cases we take on. If you don’t have a good basis for a lawsuit, we will inform you about other options better suited to your situation.

The assumption that the rear vehicle is always at fault is false. While it is possible that the rear driver could be at fault for driving too close, speeding, or committing other traffic violations, it is equally likely for the front driver to be found at fault in rear-end collisions. For example, if the driver pulled unexpectedly into another lane, they could be at fault for the accident. Additionally, motor vehicle accidents can occur when the driver in front suddenly slows down or stops in the middle of moving traffic.

While specific laws vary depending on location, California law does protect dog bite victims. California dog owners have a duty to maintain control over their animals for the safety of others while in public and on private property. If you have been attacked by a vicious animal because of the owner's negligence, you can sue under California personal injury law.

While any auto accident can cause severe injuries and even death, crashes that involve commercial vehicles like semi-trucks often cause catastrophic damage to victims and their families. This is primarily because of the difference in size between the truck and a passenger vehicle. The impact can be devastating, causing severe injuries and financial hardship.

If you suspect abuse, document any evidence, report concerns to facility management and authorities, and seek legal guidance immediately to protect your loved one and hold responsible parties accountable.

In most cases, California allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain exceptions may apply, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
