If you have been injured in an accident and required medical care, you may have legal options available to help recover compensation for the losses and expenses that can arise after an unexpected injury. At the Law Office of Brian H. Turner, our experienced personal injury attorneys are dedicated to helping individuals understand their legal options after an accident.
A Stockton personal injury lawyer on our team can review the details of your situation, answer your questions, and help determine whether pursuing a civil claim may be the right step for you. In many situations, injured individuals may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing treatment, and other related costs. Our attorneys work closely with clients throughout the legal process and strive to help them pursue the compensation they may be entitled to.
There are various circumstances under which you have a duty of care to act responsibly so that you do not accidentally cause someone else to get hurt, and other people owe the same type of duty to you. A textbook example is the obligation all motor vehicle drivers have to obey traffic laws and pay attention to their surroundings. However, duties of care can also exist in various other contexts—for example, between a landlord and a tenant.
If someone breaches their duty of care and, in doing so, injures a person to whom they owed that duty, they have met all the legal criteria necessary to be considered negligent. Anyone proven negligent in relation to a preventable accident will then hold civil liability to pay for injuries and losses stemming from that accident.
Common types of cases where negligence claims arise include:
Motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians
Slip and fall or premises liability incidents
Dog bites and animal attacks
Workplace accidents and construction injuries
As a Stockton attorney can explain in more detail, establishing that a specific person was negligent in a particular way is the primary focus of virtually all personal injury lawsuits.
$2.5 million verdict/settlement after an appeal for the premises liability/bicycle lane against a government entity. Contested liability.
$2.1 million settlement big rig versus stranded vehicle on the freeway, on behalf of minor. Contested liability.
$1.85 million settlement for burn victim.
$1.1 million settlement after first day of trial. Watercraft versus watercraft, wrongful death of minor. Contested liability.
Someone who is found liable for causing another person’s injury through negligence can be held accountable for every form of harm that injury will ever cause the injured person to experience, including:
It should be noted that the nature and severity of losses sustained by an accident victim, not the means by which they were injured in the first place, is what determines the financial value of their claim. A skilled personal injury lawyer in Stockton can help demand fair financial recovery after auto collisions, slipping and tripping accidents, and more.
No two people are exactly alike, and the same principle applies to personal injury lawsuits. The right course of action for another person injured in the same manner as you may not suit your unique circumstances at all. That is why it is so important to have help from an experienced and dedicated attorney from the Law Office of Brian H. Turner when pursuing a claim of this nature.
No matter who is at fault for your injury or what kinds of damages you need to recover, a Stockton personal injury lawyer can be the ally you need to fight effectively for your rights. Call today to schedule a consultation.
