Accidents involving large trucks pose a persistent danger in Santa Clarita. Every year, dozens of truck crashes on area roads cause severe injuries and fatalities to innocent motorists. Most truck crashes in our area happen on the I-5 and Route 14 freeways, but they can also happen on in-town and neighborhood streets.
Victims of these harmful incidents have a legal right to receive financial compensation. The award winning personal injury lawyers at Kash Legal can help. We represent Santa Clarita residents, visitors, and workers in personal injury lawsuits seeking fair payment for the damages they suffered because of someone else's careless, wrongful actions.
The term “personal injury” refers to the area of law that deals with compensating people for physical and emotional harm caused by someone else’s wrongful decisions and actions. If you got hurt in circumstances where someone else could have, and probably should have, taken reasonable steps to prevent your injury, you may have a personal injury case.
To find out for sure, you can always contact Kash Legal for a free consultation with one of our personal injury lawyers. We can evaluate your case to see if you’ll be able to receive compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and suffering.
There’s virtually no limit to the ways individuals can suffer personal injuries in Santa Clarita. The Kash Legal team has the experience and resources to help you recover damages no matter how your injury happened, especially in the following common personal injury scenarios.
According to data compiled by U.C. Berkeley’s Transportation Information Mapping System (TIMS), 646 motor vehicle crashes occurred in Santa Clarita in a recent year, leaving 942 victims injured and killing 6. Nearly all of those crashes were preventable and happened because a driver or someone else made bad decisions or engaged in careless conduct.
They caused a tragic toll. Injured victims who suffer catastrophic and disabling injuries end up buried in medical bills and unable to work. Fatal accidents rob loving spouses and families of companionship and support. At Kash Legal, we investigate car, truck, and bus accidents to prove who was at fault, and go the distance to get you the money you deserve for your injuries and losses.
Crashes involving rideshares present potential complications for victims seeking compensation. California law requires rideshare companies to carry large insurance policies to protect individuals who get hurt in an accident with an Uber or Lyft driver. Kash Legal knows how to take full advantage of that insurance and get you paid.
Accidents with delivery vehicles, from commercial trucks carrying packages to personal cars bringing food to your door, can also pose insurance-related challenges for victims. Kash Legal understands the complexities of California insurance law and how to make sure insurers pay for harm caused by drivers they cover.
In the 31 motorcycle wrecks that happened in Santa Clarita in a recent year, TIMS reports that 2 victims died and 34 suffered injuries. 9 out of 10 of those victims were motorcyclists. TIMS does not yet report similar data for e-scooter accidents, but ever since scooters began arriving in the Santa Clarita Valley a few years ago, their popularity has soared and, as we hear, so has the number of traffic accidents in which scooters play a role.
Motorcyclists and e-scooter riders have virtually nothing to protect them from injury in an accident, save for helmets (which are mandatory in California for all motorcyclists and for e-scooter riders under 18). If a careless driver turns into their path and causes a collision, chances are the rider will get thrown to the pavement and suffer severe (even fatal) trauma like a brain injury, spinal cord damage, road rash, and broken bones. At Kash Legal, we fight to hold drivers and others accountable when they endanger motorcyclists and e-scooter riders on Santa Clarita’s streets.
Motor vehicles strike bicycles in Santa Clarita with troubling regularity. TIMS data shows nearly 100 bicycle accidents in the city over a recent five year period. Though they occur throughout SC’s four neighborhoods, bike crashes happen frequently at several hotspots, including Soledad Canyon Road where it meets Sierra Highway, and Newhall Ranch Road at Bouquet Junction.
Like motorcyclists and e-scooter riders, bicyclists have little protection in a crash except for a helmet (required for all riders under 18). A bicycle crash can inflict severe injuries and devastating losses, especially when it involves a younger rider. Our team at Kash Legal believes in the critical importance of advocating for bicyclists and seeking damages from anyone who causes a harmful bike crash.
Santa Clarita pedestrians also face dangers when crossing or walking along the city’s roads. Pedestrian accidents have taken the lives of 3 and injured 166 over the past five years. Intersections are particularly dangerous for SC pedestrians, especially along Soledad Canyon Road in Canyon Country and in downtown Newhall.
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable of all road users in Santa Clarita, standing little chance of avoiding injury when a car or truck hits them. At Kash Legal, we understand the devastation a pedestrian accident can cause and battle to make sure you get the compensation you need to support your recovery and rehabilitation.
Owners of commercial, public, and residential properties in Santa Clarita owe a duty to keep their premises safe for visitors. If they fail to fix, warn you about, or keep you away from a hazardous property condition and you get hurt as a result, they could owe you substantial monetary damages. The Kash Legal team can secure compensation for individuals who, for example, slip-and-fall at a restaurant, suffer burns in a fire, or sustain trauma at an amusement park. If you sustained injuries on someone else’s property in Santa Clarita, you have rights and we want to help you enforce them.
As the popularity of e-cigarettes and vape pens has increased, so has the number of injuries caused by defective vaping devices that overheat and explode. Unsuspecting users can suffer severe burns, disfiguring scars, and vision loss (among other injuries) when a vape pen or e-cig explodes. Kash Legal fights to get them full compensation from device manufacturers, who face strict liability to injured vape explosion victims under California law.
If you’ve suffered a burn injury in Santa Clarita, a skilled burn injury lawyer can be a crucial ally in your journey to recovery. Burn injuries often require extensive medical treatment, long-term care, and can lead to lasting physical and emotional trauma. A Santa Clarita burn injury lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering by guiding you through the legal process, negotiating with insurance companies, and advocating for your rights. Whether your injury resulted from a workplace accident, defective product, or negligence, having an experienced attorney on your side ensures you’re not alone in pursuing justice and the resources you need to rebuild your life.

They are committed to holding responsible parties accountable and ensuring your family’s rights are protected.
Construction sites can be hazardous environments, and when accidents occur, they often result in severe injuries that impact workers and their families. A Santa Clarita construction accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals injured in construction-related incidents, including falls, equipment malfunctions, scaffolding collapses, and exposure to harmful substances. These attorneys understand the unique complexities of construction accident cases, such as navigating workers’ compensation claims and potential third-party liability claims, to ensure injured workers receive the compensation they deserve. With their guidance, you can secure resources for medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation, allowing you to focus on recovery while they advocate for your rights and future.
