 Welcome
to our Southern California Negligence and Liability law information
site. Our Southern California Personal Injury attorneys and Southern
California Workers Compensation lawyers will assist you through the
complex maze of legal issues that arise out of Southern California
personal injury accident injury cases and third party liability
injury accident claims. Our Southern California injury accident law
firm deals exclusively with southern California personal injury
accidents, California Workers Comp cases (industrial or work related
injuries), and Social Security Disability claims (SSD and SSI)
arising in southern California.
We are one of very few law firms in Southern California that handle
crossover cases of California Personal Injury cases and California
Workmans Comp claim. A crossover case is one where an injury
accident happens on the job, or the injury is somehow work related,
but the cause of the work injury is due to the negligence of someone
other than the employer or a co-employee. That is called California
third party liability, and if you are an injured worker with this
set of circumstances, you may have 2 concurrent cases, both of which
our CA injury law firm handles.
CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INJURY LAWS: NEGLIGENCE & LIABILITY CASES
California auto accidents,
slip & fall injuries, premises liability, dog bites, medical
malpractice, defective products
To understand California personal injury law requires a brief
explanation of torts and tort law. Torts are civil wrongs, as
opposed to criminal wrongs, that cause harm or injury to plaintiff.
The 3 categories of California torts are intentional torts,
negligent torts and strict liability. An intentional tort, as the
name implies, occurs when the defendant tortfeasor (wrongdoer)
intentionally causes injury or harm to the injured victim plaintiff.
A negligent tort occurs when the defendants actions, or lack of
care, are unreasonably unsafe, and the plaintiff suffers injury as a
result thereof. Strict liability imposes liability by statute. For
example, if you own a dog in California, and that dog bites someone
in California, you are liable for the damage from the dog bite or
dog attack, regardless of whether you knew the dog was dangerous or
not. By law, you are strictly liable for the dog’s bite. Period. Dog
bites in California are “strictly” the responsibility of the
California dog owner. Examples
of the kinds of California personal injury accident cases we handle
are: southern California car accidents, auto vs. auto accidents, bus
accidents, aviation accidents, California motorcycle accidents, all
traffic related accidents, California dog bite cases, medical
malpractice, medical negligence, premises liability, trip slip and
fall accidents, product liability, defective products, wrongful
death, dog bites, dog attacks, swimming pool accidents, & elder
abuse cases. As California consumer protection attorneys, we also
handle California lemon law claims lawsuits.
Perhaps that was more than you really want to know about California
personal injury law, and what you really need to know is about
damages. What are you entitled to when you successfully prevail in a
Southern California personal injury claim or Southern California
injury lawsuit? DAMAGES:
COMPENSATORY, ECONOMIC, NON-ECONOMIC, & PUNITIVE
Our California personal injury
attorneys & California personal injury lawyers pursue the highest
compensation. Compensatory
damages as the name implies, are awarded to compensate the plaintiff
for all out of pocket (economic damages) which include property
damage, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, medical care,
medical prescriptions and equipment, etc. One may also be
compensated for pain and suffering (non economic damage) as well as
mental anguish, disfigurement, loss of consortium, etc.
Punitive damages may be awarded in addition, to punish the defendant
wrongdoer, and to deter others from behaving in an equivalent
unreasonable, unsafe manner.
CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INJURY LAWS & COMPENSABLE DAMAGES AND
CALIFORNIA WORKERS COMPENSATION LAWS AND BENEFITS ARE NOT THE SAME
Under California Workmans Compensation laws, the Applicant (injured
worker) is not entitled to be compensated for pain and suffering.
However, other benefits apply. A California injured worker is
entitled to all reasonable medical treatment for his work
related injury, temporary disability checks equal to 2/3 of
his pay while he is disabled from working, a permanent disability
award for any permanent residuals or work restrictions from the
industrial accident, and vocational rehabilitation, if the
injured employee can not return to the same job duties.
Remember, if the injury accident happened on the job, yet was due to
the negligence of someone outside your company, then you may have a
California personal injury claim as well as a California Workers
comp case. Please contact a
Southern California Personal Injury attorney or Southern California
Workers comp lawyer in our California personal injury law firm to
discuss and analyze the details of your injury case. Every accident
is different and every injury case is unique. Our Southern
California personal injury attorneys and California Workmans Comp
lawyers are here to guide you.
