What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law allows victims of accidents or intentional wrongdoings to recover damages from the responsible parties. In California, if you can prove another party’s negligence caused your injury, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your losses.
Key Elements of a Personal Injury Claim
- Duty of care: The responsible party owed you a duty to act reasonably (for example, drivers must drive safely).
- Breach of duty: The responsible party failed to meet this duty (for example, driving recklessly or ignoring safety rules).
- Causation: The breach of duty directly caused your injuries.
- Damages: You suffered actual losses, physical, financial, or emotional, because of the injury.
Proving each element requires clear evidence, meticulous preparation, and a thorough understanding of the law. Working with an experienced attorney can strengthen your claim and safeguard your rights throughout the process. Legal representation enables every detail, from gathering evidence to calculating damages, to be thoroughly and professionally addressed.
Statute of Limitations in California
In California, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two yearsof the date of the accident or the date of the injury. Missing this deadline generally means forfeiting your right to compensation. Certain exceptions exist, such as injuries to minors or cases against government entities, which may have shorter or different deadlines. Consulting an attorney promptly helps you meet all legal requirements and deadlines.
