Your Injury Causing Accident

Everything You Need to Know About Personal Injury in California

A personal injury is generally an injury that is blamed on someone else’s acts or omissions. Typically, the victim—or plaintiff—files a personal injury claim demonstrating that the other party—the defendant—is responsible for their injuries or losses. As such, the claimant must prove that the respondent violated a duty of care owed to them when the defendant acted negligently compared to what a reasonable person would usually do if they were in the same circumstances.

An example of personal injury is when a motorist under the influence hits your car, causing you to sustain serious car accident injuries. Because they were drinking and driving, the other driver breached the duty of care that all drivers owe to other road users. Because of this breach, they caused an auto accident that directly caused your injuries and other losses. As the victim, in this case, you may be able to recover damages by filing a personal injury claim against the at-fault party’s insurance or even taking them to court. With a Fontana personal injury lawyer on your side, you can rest assured that your case will end with the best possible results.

Other types of personal injury cases besides auto accidents that we help Fontana residents fight for compensation may include:

Many other scenarios may lead to personal injuries. Technically speaking, any harm due to the fault of another may qualify to be a personal injury case in California. All the same, it’s in your best interests to enlist a personal injury lawyer to do the heavy lifting on your behalf.

Protecting Your Rights to Compensation After Sustaining a Personal Injury

Moments following an accident can really be confusing, particularly regarding your next steps. Unfortunately, some victims of accidents end up taking actions that tamper with their right to seek compensation.

Having worked for years in this field, California personal injury attorneys at Kash Legal have the following recommendations if you want to protect your rights and strengthen your case.

Do Not Apologize

After an accident, it can seem reasonable to apologize to the other driver or even the police for the accident. However, this may trap you by getting inappropriately interpreted that you’re responsible for the crash. As a rule of thumb, don’t ever admit fault after an accident.

Gather All Available Evidence as Soon as Possible

Like in other legal cases, evidence is of supreme importance in personal injury cases. Always remember to take some pictures/videos of the accident/injuries, witness information, and information concerning the other party before leaving the scene of the accident.

Seek Medical Attention

The only way to indeed tie your injuries to a personal injury accident is by having medical records in order. It can be challenging to prove causation in a personal injury if you never sought medical care. After all, your health should always come first, and we strongly advise victims of any accident always to visit a doctor even when they feel they’re OK.

Avoid Dealing With the Insurance on Your Own

Though it may seem wise, advancing and negotiating your settlement with the other party’s insurance solo has more disadvantages than advantages. These are corporates whose sole purpose and interest is to protect themselves from as much liability as possible in order to accumulate profits, even if it means offering the victim an unreasonable amount of compensation. Our personal injury lawyers have worked with insurance companies for many years, and we know all the tricks they use to rob claimants.

On the other hand, the defendant may hire a defense lawyer, and if you’re not familiar with all the legal jargon, they can easily take you for a ride. You should also note that once you accept any settlement with the insurance, you entirely give up your rights to pursue any further claims against the defendants for the same accident in the future, even if you discover new injuries or damages.

Know the Law Surrounding Personal Injury Cases in California

Various rules apply depending on the nature and type of the personal injury case. The first one to note is that victims have only two years from the time of the accident or discovery of the injury to file a personal injury claim. Exceptions to this law exist if a government entity is involved or the victim is a minor.

Furthermore, California’s comparative negligence law means you can still file for compensation even if you’re partly responsible for your injuries. In other words, you can collect compensation up to the percentage the other party was liable for. Talk to a Fontana personal injury attorney to learn more about the specifics of your case.
