Should I Call a Lawyer After a Personal Injury Accident?
If you suffer only very minor injuries or just property damage you may not need the help of a lawyer for your case. However, if your accident involves a more serious injury like a bone fracture, a neck or back injury, or brain trauma, and someone’s negligence is to blame, it’s critical to talk to a skilled Patterson personal injury lawyer.
Insurance adjusters for the at-fault party will be asked to look for ways to downplay your injury and even try to blame you for what happened. This is all an attempt to limit the support you receive or reject your claim completely. Don’t accept this treatment. Your Maison Law attorney strikes back. We fully investigate what happened and gather all evidence to build a strong case. We then file a claim on your behalf and demand the most for your injury possible.
Personal Injury Hazards in Patterson
Families in Patterson stay busy each day going to work, to school, or out to shop or grab lunch. They might be surprised to know that each of these activities and others can potentially force them into devastating accidents.
Driving on local roads is the most dangerous thing most of us do in the course of a week. We’ve all seen close calls on the lanes of I-5 or along Sperry Avenue. Drivers can look at cell phone screens and forget to look up for 20 seconds or more. Drivers can also become reckless and speed or drive while intoxicated.
Motorists owe other drivers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and cyclists a “duty of care.” They must not take actions that put others at risk. The “duty of care” also applies to landlords who must provide for the safety of tenants in their apartments and around the complex. Supermarket owners and operators must make sure aisles aren’t filled with slip-and-fall hazards and are liable if someone is allowed to get hurt.
These and other cases are all common types of personal injury claims that Maison Law wants to help victims secure more in compensation for:
- Car Accidents – Car insurance adjusters work to try to shift blame from their policyholders to innocent victims. It’s important to have a Patterson car accident lawyer protecting your interests and working to get the most out of your car accident claim.
- Big Rig Accidents – Heavy semi-trucks and farm vehicles roar through Patterson squeezing smaller vehicles out and forcing SUVs into devastating impacts. Delivery vans for companies like Amazon or UPS can also do major harm to victims. It’s critical to hold their employers responsible.
- Pedestrian Accidents and Bicycle Accidents – These are the least protected victims in roadway accidents. Pedestrians may be out walking or running and drivers have to show them caution no matter where someone is traveling. Riders in bike lanes on Las Palmas Avenue can still be at risk of the careless actions of motorists. Drivers must share the lanes with cyclists in other places and can be fully liable when they cause bicycle collisions.
- Motorcycle Accidents – Due to their small size and lack of protection, motorcycles leave riders more vulnerable to collisions. We are advocates for injured riders when insurance companies try to blame accidents on them. We hold reckless drivers responsible and win compensation for the rider to cover the care they need to return to their motorcycles.
- Workplace Accidents — We come to the aid of farm and orchard workers and those hurt in accidents while working on construction sites. Victims may file for workers’ compensation, but there are some hardships that workers’ comp won’t cover. Employees at any job might be subjected to unsafe work environments. We take on major employers to win our clients full support.
- Slip-and-Fall Injuries — Grocery stores and places like Walmart must provide you with a safe shopping experience. If another customer leaves a spilled drink on those hard floors and you fall, the business owner or company should fully support you through recovery.
- Premises Liability — An apartment landlord or management company for a resort community might neglect to secure a handrail on a set of stairs leading to a fall. A golf course staff may leave a tripping hazard out. If you fall and get hurt, those owners and operators bear liability.
- Drowning Risks – A part of premises liability. Hotels and waterparks that offer pools must take responsibility if someone is hurt in the water. The same responsibility lies with apartment complexes with pools. Government departments over parks and local lakes might be responsible if someone tragically drowns.
- Dog Bites – California operates under the legal concept of “strict liability” when it comes to dog bites. It means that dog owners can be held liable for wounds even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. Dog owners are almost always financially responsible for victims. Trusting your case to a skilled Patterson dog bite attorney is the best way to ensure you receive full compensation for a difficult recovery after an attack.
- City Government Liability — Suffering an injury while riding public transportation, while at a public park, or in a public building might leave Patterson, Stanislaus 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.
- Wrongful Death Benefits — Unfortunately, in the worst cases, careless accidents can lead to the loss of life. California allows family members to seek financial support through a wrongful death claim. A spouse or children of the victim or a Patterson Wrongful Death Lawyer can file this civil claim on behalf of the rest of the family. A wrongful death lawsuit would ask for financial help to pay for burial expenses and any medical bills and ambulance fees left behind. The family should also receive reimbursement for the guidance and income the deceased will no longer be able to provide in the future.
What Our Clients Say
What Should I Do After a Personal Injury Accident?
An accident that’s just occurred might find you a bit dazed at the scene of a car crash. You may be in a grocery store and on the ground after a slip-and-fall.
You could be in the workplace after unsafe working conditions have finally caused an injury.
See to your safety first. Contact 911 if you are hurt and call for a Patterson Police response or for the CHP if you have been in a traffic collision.
Then, if the scene is secure and you are strong enough, it’s a good time to gather as much fresh evidence as possible. Some evidence will disappear once you leave and the scene is cleared.
Try to collect these details:
- Have paramedics check out every pain you have. Go to the hospital if necessary. If you must leave the scene, ask someone with you or a helpful witness to collect evidence for you.
- Give officers on the scene of a car crash a full account of what you witnessed. They will create an accident report that will serve as valuable evidence for you later.
- Don’t say you’re okay. Making statements like “I’m alright” or “It’s my fault” can weaken your case later. In the shock of what’s happened, you likely won’t know how badly you are hurt or have a good idea of who is to blame for your accident.
- Take Photos. Get pictures of everything involved in your accident including the damage to cars. If you were in a slip-and-fall incident, take photos of the obstacle that left you on the ground.
- Talk to witnesses. Find out what eyewitnesses saw and get their contact information. They may not have seen the accident, but they may attest to the unsafe conditions or the obstacle that caused your injury.
- In the case of an accident on someone else’s property, allow a manager or an employer to write up an incident report for the company. This report can help prove that you weren’t at fault for what happened.
Contact a personal injury attorney. The insurance company for the individual or business to blame for your injury will be calling you hoping to get a recorded statement about what happened from you. Decline and refer them to your Maison Law representative. Insurance companies hope that you’ll say something they can use to reject your claim later. Allow a qualified personal injury attorney to protect you from this and other insurance tactics while securing the most in compensation possible for your recovery.
