Personal injury lawsuits are civil claims (known as torts) brought by victims who allege that another’s breach of duty more likely than not caused them harm and losses. In most injury claims, this “breach of duty” means negligence – be it the carelessness of a distracted driver, the failure of a property owner to ensure safe conditions on their premises, or some other failure to meet the duty of care.
Though personal injury claims may involve many different circumstances and underlying causes, they all offer victims an opportunity to hold defendants liable for damages.
At Drake Law Firm, personal injury is all we do. By concentrating our efforts on this area of law, we have amassed the experience, insight, and resources to tackle even the toughest of cases.
We handle all types of personal injury cases, including those involving:
It depends. Personal injury cases are intensely fact-specific, and determining fault and liability requires meticulous investigation and diligent effort.
Generally, victims bring personal injury claims against individuals or entities whose negligence or wrongful acts caused or contributed to their injuries. In some cases, victims may name a single defendant. In others, multiple defendants may share responsibility for causing a victim harm.
Determining who can be held liable for your damages is one of the first and most important steps of the personal injury process – and it’s a step that demands the attention of detail-oriented lawyers who know where to look, and where to find available insurance coverage.
At Drake Law Firm, we have handled a range of high-stakes claims involving negligence and preventable injuries, and we know how to guide our clients through these critical early steps.
That also depends on the unique facts of your case – including the nature and severity of your injuries, how they impacted your life, and whether they have healed by the time your case is resolved.
In California, victims are generally entitled to a recovery of the economic and non-economic damages they incurred because of their injuries. This can include:
Determining the scope of your losses is crucial to recovering the damages you’ve already incurred, as well as any future damages you may face as a result of your injuries – such as a needed surgery, rehabilitation and therapy, lost income, or the costs of ongoing care.
At Drake Law Firm, we work with medical experts to assess our clients’ injuries and prognoses, and whether they will face any lasting repercussions or expenses beyond the conclusion of their case. No matter the type of accident or injury, our goal is to seek the maximum compensation possible.
Personal injury cases are complex proceedings that require extensive knowledge of the law, as well as the resources to perform investigations, consult with experts, and build the strongest possible claims. At times when victims should be focused on recovering and rebuilding their lives, the support of a legal team can make all the difference when it comes to handling the hardest parts of a case.
Most importantly, legal representation can help you level the playing field with defendants and insurance companies who defend against these claims. As powerful corporations, insurers care more about profits than people, and they do all they can to dispute, deny, and underpay victims.
By working with experienced lawyers, you can fight back against insurance companies and defendants who refuse to accept responsibility, and pursue the compensation you deserve.
