 Personal Injury Overview
Personal injury lawsuits are filed by people (or their representatives) injured due to the negligence of someone else. The injury may be either physical or emotional, and it can arise from a variety of sources or types of conduct. Some of the most common types of personal injuries that give rise to legal liability on the part of the wrongdoer include automobile accidents, slip and fall incidents, assault and battery, medical malpractice, and injury cases that arise from defective products. Genreally speaking, the goal of personal injury actions is to determine who was responsible for the injury causing event, and to compel this party to compensate the injured person for the losses sustained. If you or someone you know has been injured by the careless actions of another, it is essential that you seek legal counsel from an experienced personal injury attorney , immediately so that you can preserve your rights.
Personal Injuries from Dangerous or Defective Products
When someone is injured while using a product that was manufactured or marketed in a defective or dangerous way, he or she may be able to recover the resulting damages from the responsible party in a products-liability-based personal injury suit. Product liability law is based on the responsibility of a manufacturer or other provider of goods to compensate users of the goods for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products that it placed into the stream of commerce. The basic idea underlying products liability law is that the companies providing the products are usually in the best position to prevent defective products from entering the marketplace, so if they fail to do so, they should be held accountable. An experienced and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer can advise injured persons on whether they may have a claim against a product manufacturer or seller and can help them recover the damages to which they are legally entitled.
At Top Injury Lawyer (“TIL”) we work with the seasoned Southern California firm of Lee & Kaufman LLP. We represent people and the families of people who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of others in the state of California. Our clients have received their injuries or have lost their loved ones in all types of situations including medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, vehicle accidents, construction site accidents, equipment related injuries, harm from dangerous drugs, and all other dangerous practices or situations that result in injury to a person.
We have years of experience dealing with cases in the personal injury field. We understand how insurance companies and lawyers for the defense side work. Insurance companies, in particular, are interested in minimizing their economic exposure whenever a serious injury or death has occurred. To do so, they hire attorneys whose job it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of your case. But we know their tactics, and can anticipate their moves. We get each case ready to go to trial, and the opposing attorneys know that we will take your case all the way through a jury trial if we need to in order to get the best possible result for you. We often are able to negotiate generous settlements as a result, as there are many cases that the insurance companies do not want to take to trial. We will always act in your best interests and with your full knowledge and consent, but we can often get great settlements and avoid putting you through a trial altogether.
If you have suffered a serious personal injury or a loved one has been killed through the negligence or wrongful conduct of another, contact us to set up a free initial consultation.
