Our Southern California personal injury law firm has helped secure millions of dollars in case awards and settlements for our clients. While many people assume accident and injury lawsuits are straightforward, the truth is that they can quickly turn into complicated legal battles that can last months or even years. Cases involving long-term disability, serious injuries, and wrongful death also require practiced legal counsel for successful results. Injured Californians can reach out to our experienced Southern California personal injury lawyers for representation in even the most complicated personal injury cases.

Building a Personal Injury Lawsuit

Injury lawsuits revolve around the legal concept of negligence. Negligence describes one party’s failure to act in a reasonable and responsible manner in a given situation. For example, a driver who fails to come to a stop at a red light violates the duty of care to follow the traffic laws and endangers others nearby. When negligence causes an auto accident and subsequently an injury, the injured party will often seek compensation for his or her damages through a personal injury car accident claim. Don’t hesitate to contact our Orange County car accident attorneys in the event of a car crash. If you were injured in an accident, our skilled trial lawyers will work to get you maximum compensation for your physical injury and other motor vehicle accident-related damages.

To succeed in an accident lawsuit, a plaintiff must demonstrate how the defendant in the case violated his or her duty of care. Proving negligence in a personal injury case requires establishing four facts in court:

  • Duty. The plaintiff must show that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care given the incident in question in the case.
  • Breach. Next, the plaintiff must show how the defendant breached this duty of care. The plaintiff must prove the defendant took a specific action that was inappropriate for the circumstances. Negligence may also include inaction or failing to take an appropriate action when another reasonable person would have.
  • Causation. The plaintiff must prove his or her damages were the direct results of the defendant’s breach of duty and not some other cause.
  • Damages. Finally, the plaintiff can only sue if he or she suffered some injury or measurable loss. Even if the defendant acted negligently, the plaintiff can only sue if he or she experienced actual harm or some kind of measurable loss.

Compensation in Personal Injury Claims

Plaintiffs in Southern California personal injury lawsuits can recover various types of compensation depending on the damages in the case. The plaintiff’s Southern California personal injury attorney will provide the court with evidence showing the extent of the plaintiff’s damages. Damages in personal injury cases usually include:

  • Medical expenses. This includes ambulance fees, hospital bills, and any costs for necessary treatments or ongoing care.
  • Lost income. A plaintiff’s injuries may prevent him or her from returning to work for an extended time. The plaintiff can sue for those lost wages and the wages he or she would have reasonably expected to earn in the future if the injuries prevent the plaintiff from returning to work at all.
  • Property damage. If a defendant’s actions caused any damage to the plaintiff’s private property, he or she may sue for the costs of repairing or replacing that property.
  • Pain and suffering. A judge will consider expert witness testimony and award the plaintiff an appropriate amount.
