Bell Personal Injury Lawyer

Bell, CA, is a small, tight-knit community. People look out for each other here. But that doesn’t mean residents are always safe from accidents. Personal injury accidents are accidents that are caused by someone’s recklessness or negligence. Personal injury laws allow victims to seek help with their recovery costs from those found at fault.

A personal injury claim may arise after a victim suffers a serious bite wound from a dog, leaving a dog owner potentially liable for all medical costs that result. A case may arise against a large retailer like Smart & Final Extra! after employees leave a puddle out on the floor, causing a shopper to fall and suffer a head injury.

One of the most dangerous things we may all do in our daily routines is to get out on local roads around careless drivers. A distracted driver can hit other cars and even those on foot, leaving behind expensive damage and devastating injuries. These personal injury accidents leave behind victims and families in desperate need of financial help to pay hospital bills and support themselves while victims must miss work.

These are just a few of the different personal injury cases we help our clients win:

Car Accidents –Victims may be rear-ended along a busy Atlantic Avenue by a driver looking at a cellphone instead of the light changing to red up ahead. Unfortunately, car insurance companies will make victims prove who was at fault before offering any assistance. A Bell Car Accident Attorney works to get the most out of your vehicle accident claim, while allowing you to focus on getting better.

Motorcycle Accidents – A tiny mistake or lapse in attention by a driver can send motorcyclists into devastating crashes. A motorcycle accident lawyer makes sure riders aren’t unfairly blamed for accidents caused by reckless drivers. Maison Law demands the most possible for victims.

Truck Accidents – Giant semi-trucks, tanker trucks, and heavy delivery vans travel too fast down major routes like I-710 and through Bell neighborhoods. These big trucks represent a hazard on the road and can cause devastating accidents. A Truck Accident Lawyer helps gain support for injured victims from truck drivers and their employers.

Pedestrian Accidents – People on foot are the most vulnerable as they cross wide intersections in Bell. Pedestrians can be asked to cross six or seven lanes of traffic in crosswalks drawn out in faded paint. A Pedestrian Accident Lawyer works to earn the support pedestrians need to get better and get back on their feet.

Bicycle Accident Lawyer – Bicyclists have just as much right to the streets in Bell as any motorists. Unfortunately, trusting that distracted drivers will share the road can lead to collisions and major injuries for riders.  A skilled Bell Bicycle Accident Lawyer makes sure accident victims get the best medical care available and the money to pay for it. We want to see victims get back on their bikes as soon as possible.

Dog Bites – California is a “strict liability” state. This means that dog owners are held liable for most bites, regardless of whether the dog has bitten anyone before. Owners must provide for the care of a victim’s bite wound and the cost of physical therapy to restore function to a damaged limb. Our Dog Bite Lawyers also protect young children who get bitten to see that they have the support they need to heal and grow without injury complications later in life.

Slip-and-Fall Injuries — Big box stores, supermarkets, and any public business must see to your safety while you are shopping or passing through. This is part of the “duty of care” guaranteed under premises liability laws. When there is debris left on the floor of a business, and you trip and fall and suffer a broken wrist or a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), the business owner or the corporate owner could be fully liable.  If an apartment landlord or management company leaves a broken handrail on a set of stairs and you fall and get hurt, they will be responsible. Our Bell Slip-And-Fall Lawyers and Premises Liability Lawyers fight for every victim’s rights.

City Government Liability — Suffering an injury while riding public transportation, while at a public park, or in a public building might leave Bell, Los Angeles County, or the state of California liable for an accident. Suing government departments can be more complex than a normal personal injury case, but the attorneys at Maison Law have the experience necessary to negotiate a fair settlement.

Workplace Accidents – Local residents work hard for their employers, and they deserve safe workplaces. When local employees get injured on the job, they should receive strong support from businesses and companies. Maison Law can help victims file Workers’ Comp Claims and often get injured workers more in support than they could get on their own. If Workers’ Comp support doesn’t go far enough, we can also help workers file personal injury claims against negligent companies to demand the help victims need. We can help workers in manufacturing, construction, and those working in any retail or office job who get hurt. We help victims regardless of their immigration status. California Labor Laws protect all workers.

Defective products – A device or appliance that residents purchase and bring into their homes could malfunction and harm themselves or a loved one.  Retailers and manufacturers could be held accountable for allowing an unsafe product to reach consumers.

Wrongful Death Benefits — Sadly, the negligence of others can lead to the loss of life. You may lose a loved one in a tragic accident at a busy intersection. A tragic drowning at an unsafe pool might be the cause. An electrical shock suffered in a place of business might claim a life. California empowers family members to seek financial support through a wrongful death claim. A family member or a Bell Wrongful Death Attorney representing the family can file this civil claim. It would ask for money to pay funeral bills and any remaining medical fees. The family should also receive reimbursement for the wages the deceased would have provided in the years ahead. The loss of companionship and guidance could also earn support in a claim.
