If you travel the roads and highways in Escondido, you know the risks. Vehicle accidents cause serious trauma, but injuries also occur in many other situations. People fall in poorly maintained retail stores and restaurants, and they endure harm while using malfunctioning products. They seek emergency treatment due to workplace accidents and playground mishaps. Pedestrians sustain serious vehicle injuries while simply walking down the street.

Vehicle accidents often occur when a driver engages in what the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration considers risky driving behaviors. These negligent acts include speeding, distracted driving, drugged driving, alcohol-influenced driving, and other unsafe behaviors. Our Escondido personal injury lawyers resolve accidents involving all classes of vehicles.
The most recent annual data from the California Office of Traffic Safety confirms that 19,928 people sustained injuries or endured fatal trauma in San Diego County vehicle accidents. Of those victims, 936 were hurt or killed in Escondido.
It’s important to keep in mind that vehicles such as semi-trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles are considered common carriers in California. As common carriers they owe you and the public a higher standard of care. Therefore, what may be considered a minor mistake or error in a typical car accident holds more legal weight in a common carrier case. They are responsible for servicing the public, which means they must be extra caution in their actions.
Injuries often occur when commercial or private property owners fail to maintain or repair their buildings, grounds, parking lots, stairways, walkways, and other areas. Older adults and children are highly vulnerable to fall injuries. Alternatively, when a vicious dog attacks, children can often sustain life-threatening injuries. Our law firm handles a variety of premises liability cases for our injured clients.
Owners may also be liable if they fail to warn of premises hazards such as a deteriorating stairway or a vicious dog.
The most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics annual data shows that 26,700 workers sustained injuries while working California construction jobs. Ninety-two workers died from their injuries. Construction accidents frequently involve transportation, falls, slips, trips, exposure to harmful substances, and contact with equipment or other objects. They occur on existing commercial and personal properties, in vehicles, and on new construction sites.

Personal injury accident circumstances vary widely, so they cause an extensive range of injuries. Injury severity differs depending on the type of accident and the injured person’s age and physical condition. Our law firm handles claims involving many types of injuries.
Having a diagnosis is key to building your claim. Obtaining the results of the MRIs or other diagnostic tests your doctor performs is critical to proving your injuries. Your diagnosis is just one element of an injury evaluation. Before we initiate settlement negotiations, we examine your medical bills, hospital records, and doctors’ narrative reports. We carefully review your injuries, diagnosis, and prognosis. We research recent court cases for verdict ranges on similar injuries. Most importantly, we talk to you to determine how your injuries affect your life and lifestyle.
Most personal injury claims in Escondido begin with a claim filed against an applicable liability insurance policy held by the at-fault party. For example, a car accident claim would usually be filed against an at-fault party’s auto liability policy, while a dog bite claim would generally be filed against the homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy held by the dog’s owner.
Economic damages include current and future expenses incurred during treatment and recovery.
These damages are simple to calculate due to receipts and estimates made by healthcar professionals.
We negotiate a settlement value for any psychological, emotional, and other non-economic losses you incur. These often include:
These are much harder to quantify, but an experienced lawyer will be able to estimate these losses.
A California jury can include exemplary damages if they award damages after trying a case. To recover exemplary, or punitive, damages, a plaintiff must produce clear and convincing evidence that the person who injured them acted out of malice, oppression, or fraud.
When someone injures you, the available evidence must prove that they are at fault. For negligence cases, your evidence must prove the elements of the traditional negligence formula.
Cases such as vehicle accidents, premises liability incidents, and other negligence claims rely on this simple formula to determine legal responsibility. Product liability cases often require more complex analysis and proof.
