Personal Injury Representation From a Real Trial Firm

While personal injury cases can be difficult and time-consuming, they can also be very rewarding for those who successfully obtain compensation. It allows individuals to hold others accountable for their actions and receive compensation for their injuries. Most lawyers want to settle your personal injury case quickly. Settling a claim means that you agree to accept money in return for dropping your action against the person who injured you. You'll sign a release absolving the other side of any further liability. Fiore Legal is not your average law firm. We are a real trial firm looking at your issue from a different perspective than lawyers who will pressure you into settling, whether or not it’s your choice. Because we always have your best interests at heart, we would never settle a case unless for the total value. We’re here to represent you in your pursuit of justice, whatever that takes.

California Personal Injury Laws

Personal injury law varies by state, so it’s essential to understand California’s specific regulations. For example, California uses a comparative negligence system. This means multiple parties can be responsible for an injury, and each party is only responsible for their share. While some cases could prove a defendant is 100% accountable for the damage, the victim in these claims can also be partially responsible.

The state allows injury and accident victims to bring claims and lawsuits against those responsible for causing the harm. California’s statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. If the negligent party is a government entity, you must file personal injury claims within six months. However, California has elements to protect the injured, mainly if they don’t realize an injury has occurred immediately.

For example, a victim may file a claim under extended limitations, which allows them to file up to one year after the injury is discovered. Filing your claim before the statute of limitations runs out is essential for a successful lawsuit. Because laws vary by state, working with a Pasadena personal injury lawyer is the best way to ensure all deadlines are met and your case proceeds as smoothly as possible.

Who Can I Hold Liable In My Personal Injury Case?

Personal injury law allows injured individuals to hold negligent parties accountable for their actions. Injured individuals can signal to others that negligent behavior will not be tolerated by seeking compensation, which can help prevent future injuries and promote safety in the community. Strict liability holds designers and manufacturers strictly liable for injuries from defective products. In these cases, the injured person does not have to establish the manufacturer's negligence, only that the product was designed or manufactured in a manner that made it unreasonably dangerous when used as intended.

Intentional wrongs can also be the basis of personal injury claims. For example, if someone hits you, you may be able to win a suit for the battery. Another example would be how if a store detective wrongly detains you for shoplifting, you could win a claim for false imprisonment.

It’s important to reiterate that while some intentional torts can cause criminal liability, a personal injury case is a civil proceeding. This means an individual or entity brought it and remains separate from any criminal charges brought by the government.

How Do You Prove Personal Injury?

While accidents happen, sometimes injuries result from:

  • Someone else’s reckless, negligent, or careless behavior
  • Some critical information has been omitted
  • Someone causing intentional harm

To prove these injuries, you must verify the four essential elements of a personal injury claim:

Duty

Certain people and classes must take measures to protect or avoid harming others. An example of a specific duty is a landowner's duty to warn guests of possible dangers on their property.

Breach

A breach of duty refers to whether the defendant failed to fulfill their responsibility, whether it be a duty of reasonable care under general negligence or a specific duty created for certain classes.

Causation

Causation means that the victim must prove that the breach is related to the damages for which the victim seeks recovery. The plaintiff must link the breach to the injuries by establishing cause.

Damages

Economic damages can be quantified, such as medical bills. Noneconomic damages cannot be quantified, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of the enjoyment of life, and spousal consortium.
