The Importance of Filing a Personal Injury Claim

While there are a wide-range of accidents that could lead to a personal injury claim, the fact is that proving a case can be a challenging undertaking. This is because a majority of cases will be immediately and vigorously challenged by the at-fault party. Nonetheless, filing a claim can be very beneficial for a victim who has suffered physical, mental, and financial distress because of the accident.

“My firm is here to help those who have suffered tragedy obtain justice, fairness and compensation and to help them put their lives back together again.”

Understanding Negligence in a Personal Injury Claim

If you are seeking to file a personal injury claim in the State of California, you will need to prove that the at-fault party was negligent in causing the accident where you suffered injuries. Negligence refers to an action or inaction by the defendant who owes a duty of care to the victim.

A duty of care will depend on the relationship between the people involved. It is important to know that a relationship between two parties can exist between individuals who don’t know each other.

Determining If You Have a Claim

The State of California, there are five essential elements that will need to be demonstrated in order to demonstrate negligence. These are:

The accused has a duty to act in a specific way.
The accused breached his or her duty of care.
The breach of duty was the cause of the victim’s injuries.
The accused should have foreseen the probability that a person would be injured by his or her action or inaction.
The victim’s injuries resulted in damages, such as costs of medical treatments, a loss of wages, emotional distress, etc.

California’s Comparative Fault Law

It is fair to say that not all accidents are one-sided. A victim can sometimes bear some responsibility for sustaining an injury. Even if a defendant did not exercise reasonable care, a victim that could have avoided his or her injury could see the effects on the amount of damages he or she could recover, here’s how:

California’s Pure Comparative Negligence Law – Comparative fault holds the victim as well as the defendant liable for the degree of damages their actions or inactions caused. The courts will subtract the victim’s percentage of negligence from the restitution award.

In some states, a victim can be found 99% liable for causing his or her injuries and still recover financial restitution. In other states, a victim cannot be more than 49-51% liable, or else he or she will lose the right to compensation. The State of California follows the Pure Comparative Fault Rule, which will allow a victim to recover even when found to be 99% at fault for the accident.

Damages Available Following an Accident in Loma Linda, California

If you were injured in an accident in Loma Linda that was caused by another’s negligence, you may have the opportunity to recover compensation. City of Loma Linda victims can generally seek to recover economic damages as well as non-economic damages. The amount of award received will greatly depend on the extent of the injury and the facts of the case.

Economic Damages – These types of damages are usually awarded to victims who have dealt with out-of-pocket expenses following an accident caused by another. These damages are intended to place a victim back in the same financial position he or she would have been had an accident never occurred. Common examples of economic damages can include the following: Medical costs, Transportation, Rehabilitation, Therapy, Loss of income and/or Property damage.

Non-Economic Damages – Serious injuries can oftentimes impose serious physical pain and also cause victims to suffer from crippling emotional distress. Being awarded non-economic damages will help victim’s compensate for non-financial grievances. Common examples of non-economic damages can include the following: Anxiety and depression, Pain and suffering, Disfigurement, Loss of enjoyment of life and/or Embarrassment.

Wow! I can't say enough good things about the Law Offices of Justin King. Attitude starts at the top, & this firm is top tier. They represented me (& yes we won!) for an injury I sustained while riding my motorcycle westbound on the 10. Someone changed lanes without looking, which resulted in a knee injury, a lot of physical therapy, & a totaled motorcycle. I wasn't sure what to do or if this were even something worth pursuing. I found Justin's webpage & sent a quick message to him on a Saturday night then thought nothing of it. My first call from Justin was Sunday morning. I was immediately impressed. After hearing a bit of my story & asking a few questions I was ready to have Justin represent me. My first question was "How much do I need to come up with to get this started? Justin replied, you don't owe anything until we win. Not unless, until. That set the tone of the next 2 years of my life. As your case progresses it'll require work from you & a whole team working to represent you. Staci will call & let you know she's emailing documents that require signatures; Garrett will call to ask for details they need to understand & yes, he will call to remind you that you forgot to sign a document 3 days earlier. These are great people who genuinely care. They will take time to understand your needs & they communicate every step of the way. If you are injured, you need to call Justin & his team right away. You will not be disappointed!Google only allows 5 stars, but these guys deserve 10!

I felt very comfortable and confident that he would help me in getting a fair outcome to my case.I want to also thank Garrett Tuckerman for all he did in keeping me updated with everything going on with my case and for being there whenever I had any questions or concerns.

Last July I was struck by a falling case of liquor at Total Wine in Rancho Cucamonga which led to a slip and fall. My friends and family urged me to contact a lawyer after discovering I needed surgery to repair my broken wrist. A friend found Justin King on Google. Justin was compassionate, accessible, and took charge from the very first meeting. He was able to obtain the surveillance video capturing the entire incident, and made an appointment for me to see a prominent neurologist after the video showed the case struck the front of my head. The entire staff at The Law Offices of Justin H. King were very easy to work with, and I always felt like my case was getting personal attention. Thank you Garrett, Staci, and Leoni! My case went to mediation and settled for more than 3x what they originally offered. If you have been injured in an accident, I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King.

After an auto accident, I felt really nervous calling an attorney because I had never worked with one before. But from the first conversation I had with Jessica, I felt so at ease. Justin then called me and was so easy going and we had a nice conversation too. The entire staff took great care of me and I am very happy.

When I needed a lawyer following a car accident on the Interstate 15 Freeway in Rancho Cucamonga, Justin King, and his team were there for me. I appreciated how his entire staff always seemed happy to answer my questions and were so good about returning all my phone calls and emails. I could tell this firm has immense experience in helping people get their life back after an unfortunate car crash. I was so happy with the outcome of my case and the results Justin obtained from the insurance company on my behalf. I have recommended their office to all my family members and neighbors. I hope you never need to call them. But if you need the best car accident lawyers, I can vouch that they are excellent.
