Accidents are unexpected and often result in injuries for those involved. They can be life-changing events that affect the victims and their loved ones. The medical bills associated with accidents are often very high and can leave victims with large unexpected debts. If you have been involved in an accident that was caused by another person's negligent or reckless actions, you may qualify for compensation.
The Anaheim personal injury lawyers at Kash Legal understand how frustrating this time can be. To help you focus on healing and supporting your family through such difficult times, our personal injury attorneys will do everything we can to fight for what you deserve.
Personal injury encompasses any physical injury from an accident caused by another person’s negligence. It can also refer to emotional distress caused by the pain and suffering from the injury. Our lawyers at Kash Legal can help you recover damages for the following types of personal injury accidents:
Anaheim averages 5,004 crashes in a year, in which 43 percent of the parties involved are injured. Auto accidents can cause serious injuries and fatalities that are preventable. Our personal injury attorneys deal with auto accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, bicycles, pedestrians, and scooters, among others.
These types of accidents are caused when someone trips or slips and falls due to dangerous conditions on someone’s property. Property owners, managers, and lessees owe a duty of care to anyone visiting or working on their property. Examples of premises liability are slip-and-fall accidents, negligent security, exposure to dangerous chemicals, and electrical accidents.
According to the California Civil Code section 3342, dog owners are strictly liable for any damages suffered when their dog bites someone. No degree of fault or negligence needs to be shown. This is known as “strict liability.”
Poorly designed, manufactured, or repaired products can cause catastrophic injuries to their users. For example, a car with a faulty brake or a poorly repaired motorcycle part can cause an accident on the road. These types of accidents can be challenging to prove, but the Kash Legal team has years of experience dealing with such cases.
When injuries from an accident cause the death of a loved one, the family may be able to recover damages on behalf of their deceased member.
Our experienced California personal injury lawyers can handle the accidents mentioned above and more! The compensation you get for your personal injury claim depends on the details of your case. Your Anaheim personal injury lawyer will be able to calculate the amount of recompense you are owed.
Burn injuries in Anaheim can have devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences for victims and their families. These injuries often result from accidents such as residential or commercial fires, workplace incidents, electrical malfunctions, or exposure to hazardous chemicals. Severe burns may require extensive medical treatment, including surgeries, skin grafts, and long-term rehabilitation. In many cases, burn victims suffer permanent scarring or disfigurement, along with psychological trauma. When a burn injury is caused by negligence—whether by a landlord, employer, or product manufacturer—victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
The at-fault party in a personal injury claim pays the victim of the accident compensatory damages for losses they incurred due to the accident. On top of compensatory damages, the court may award punitive damages as a penalty to the at-fault driver in cases of gross negligence, such as intoxicated or distracted drivers. Compensatory damages are usually of two categories:
This is money paid to compensate for any monetary losses suffered by the victim, such as current and future medical expenses, lost wages and future lost income, and property damage. These types of losses can be calculated to the dollar and proved using receipts, invoices, or any other form of billing.
There is no set limit on how much money a person can recover from economic damages. The amount will depend on factors such as the severity of injuries suffered, how long a person has to stay away from work, and whether or not the victim suffered a permanent impairment.
This is money paid for intangible losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and physical scarring or impairment. These losses are much more difficult to quantify or calculate. Your lawyer, however, will be able to estimate the amount of non-economic compensation you may receive.
According to California Civil Jury Instructions 3905A, plaintiffs can only pursue non-economic damages if the accident did not occur at work. Further, California Civil Code section 3333.4 prevents uninsured drivers from recovering non-economic damages after an accident unless the at-fault driver was driving while intoxicated. The Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA) places a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages recoverable from a medical malpractice case.
California is a pure comparative negligence state. This means that liability can be shared among multiple parties, including the victim. Compensation is therefore awarded depending on each party’s degree of fault in the accident. If you are found 20% liable, you will only be awarded 80% of the total compensation. This rule can apply during settlement negotiations as well.
The statute of limitations for California personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. Once this time has elapsed, the court may refuse to hear your case, and you will lose out on your compensation. However, if your claim is against a government entity, the time limit is reduced to six months. Therefore, it is crucial to get in touch with an experienced Anaheim personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. You should never assume you have enough time, as these cases may take months or even years to resolve.
