Personal Injuries
If you were injured in an accident that was not your fault, our office can represent you if the injury occurred in Southern California, or we can refer you to other competent counsel.
Any injury caused by the negligent or intentional act of another may be the subject of a claim or suit by the person injured. Typical of such cases are vehicle accidents and premises (slip-and-fall, etc.) injuries. An injury at work can give rise to one of these claims, in addition to the workers’ compensation claim.
These injury claims are governed by state laws, and by federal laws such as the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). The FTCA covers claims against the federal government, usually brought by persons not employed by the U. S. Government.
There are many attorneys active in the personal injury field, and their names can be obtained through your local bar association or from referrals from friends and relatives who have had dealings with reputable attorneys. Always be aware that if your injury was caused by the negligent or intentional act of another, you may have both a personal injury claim and a workers’ compensation claim if there was some connection to your work.
Our office has represented hundreds of personal injury clients over the years, in both state and federal courts. Presently we represent personal injury plaintiffs whose cases arose in (that is, the injury occurred in) Southern California only.
