Personal Injury Law
In order to win a personal injury case in the state of California, the party causing the injury has to be legally responsible or ‘At Fault’. Negligence is the term used when a party lacks care. At fault is the term used when a party should have been careful but was not.
The term personal injury comes from damage to an individual’s body, mind or property. Most common issues result from car accidents, medical malpractice and exposure to an unsafe workplace. An individual can also be affected by injuries from defective products or medicines and a wide array of services that should guarantee people’s safety.
Under California law you have a certain amount of time to claim your injury and you must file with the court within two years of the date of the accident.
