bURN INJURY

Hiring a burn injury attorney allows you to understand the true nature of your injuries and to receive the compensation amount you deserve. If you represent yourself you expose yourself of the risk of settling your burn claim for far less than your injuries are worth. Accordingly, a burn injury lawyer will work directly with medical professionals and experts to assess the true extent of your burn injury.

Premises Liability

At times the government or a private land owner may be responsible for your injuries due to failing to maintain the property in a safe and reasonable condition. Property owners owe a duty of care to maintain the premises, conduct reasonable inspections, and repair any harmful conditions in a timely manner.

Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents are unfortunately prevalent for elderly over the age of 65. According to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) of all fractures, hip fractures are the most serious and leads to major health problems and even death. Due to the fragility of elderly people’s bones a fall could be extremely dangerous and may cause long term care and rehabilitation.

Dog Bite

When it comes to canine bites, California is one of only a few states that has a “strict liability rule.” In most cases, California Civil Code Section 3342, sometimes known as the dog bite statute, renders pet owners criminally accountable for injuries. Some laws give owners a pass if they didn’t know their pet was harmful, making compensation more difficult to acquire.The law in California, however, holds owners liable for their pets’ behavior even if they had no cause to know the animal was hazardous.

Trucking Accident

Truck drivers frequently violate standard truck driving procedures, such as speeding, driving when fatigued, driving while intoxicated, and failing to drive safely in hazardous weather conditions. Truck accidents are frequently caused by road design flaws and highway construction sites. During construction on California roadways, construction personnel frequently fail to post sufficient signage and illumination, resulting in confusion and a greater risk of accidents.

Uber/Lyft Accidents

Los Angeles residents are increasingly using ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft instead of taxis. Rideshare services are easy, affordable, and very convenient. However, the more popular the rideshare applications have become the more likely passengers will be involved in accidents. Accordingly, drivers have pressure from the job and distractions from cell phones as well as GPS devices which can lead to tragic accidents.

Wrongful Death

Families and survivors who lose a loved one due to negligence or as a result of some intentional action may file a lawsuit for wrongful death. In California the law is set forth in the statute Code of Civil Procedure 377.60. Losing a loved one may be devastating and could leave you with long term emotional trauma and financial stress. A wrongful death attorney could help you discuss legal options and pursue the financial compensation you deserve.
