Do I Have a Personal Injury Claim?

What is a personal injury claim?

When someone’s negligence causes your injury, they are responsible for your recovery.  These types of accidents include car accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, and other similar incidents.

Do I Have a Case?

Were you injured? Was someone else negligent?  Did their negligence cause your injury? Did they have a legal Duty of Care? Could the accident have been avoided if they acted reasonably? If YES to ALL, then you likely have a case.

Personal Injury Case Example

If a store owner fails to clean up a spill in a timely manner, they are responsible for paying for any injuries that arise from their negligence.  Since they breached their Duty of Care and were responsible for the accident, you would have a case against them.

How Much Is a Personal Injury Case Worth in California?

Each personal injury case is different. Your settlement will be determined based on how severely you were injured and how much your quality of life has changed. Some personal injury cases earn a few thousand dollars. Some settle for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
