Personal Injury Cases

If you or a loved one have sustained a personal injury, you can appreciate the stress and anxiety this situation often entails. Personal injuries run the gamut from wrongful death to physical harm to the loss of property to mental pain and suffering caused by the intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Since so many different types of personal injuries occur to people in our society, it often proves helpful for a person who sustained an injury to discuss possible causes of action with a qualified attorney. Lawyers trained in representing clients in court possess experience identifying causes of action that may arise from everyday events. Often, non-lawyers realize an individual suffered harm. However, correctly identifying the types of personal injuries and the elements of causes of action may prove difficult for individuals who lack training in the law.

Yorba Linda Motorcycle and Bicycle Accident Lawyers

It’s a difficult fact of modern life that accidents out on the road are an increasingly common experience. With the continual distractions facing drivers and a large number of vehicles out on the road, accidents are sadly one event we can count on.

In recent years, the casualty rate from motorcycle accidents has gone up and up. Between 2001 and 2008, 25,000 people were killed due to injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident, and 1.2 million received emergency room care for injuries.

When an accident occurs, the results can be devastating, especially for those who are riding in traffic on a bicycle or motorcycle. Injuries from an accident out on the road can be severe and can include:

• spinal cord injuries
• brain injuries
• broken bones
• internal injuries

Along with all of this comes damage to the victim’s vehicle, which can leave them without reliable transportation. Yes, the aftermath of a serious accident is traumatic and shocking. The fact is that motorcyclists are much more likely to be killed or injured on the road than any other type of driver.

Evaluating a Potential Personal Injury Case

A person who suffers harm as a result of personally injurious behavior may seek qualified legal representation in order to set forth a case and seek financial compensation for the injury. In most legal matters, time deadlines for filing causes of action apply. Known as “statutes of limitation”, these rules govern how much time an individual who has sustained personal injury experiences in order to file a case. The length of time may vary based upon the cause of action.

For this reason, a plaintiff who sustained harm as a result of a personal injury should consider evaluating possible causes of action as soon after the damaging event as possible. Many people in this situation prefer to speak with a licensed attorney in order to appreciate better legal issues involved in particular fact situations.

Careful Preparation

In Yorba Linda and the Greater Los Angeles Area, attorneys who handle personal injury cases appreciate the importance of preparing cases carefully. The fact someone has sustained an injury does not necessarily mean a cause of action has arisen. In order to obtain a recovery for an alleged personal injury, a party generally needs to present evidence to establish the fact situation.

Preparing and maintaining a successful cause of action for a personal injury requires knowledge and careful attention to details. A plaintiff may need to obtain statements from witnesses and present testimony in a court of law. Sometimes in situations in which parties dispute an underlying fact situation, a party who files a cause of action for a personal injury must also possess the ability to defend counterclaims filed by others.

The Benefits of Legal Representation

If you reside in Yorba Linda or a nearby location and you believe you have sustained a personal injury giving rise to a legal cause of action, you may want to consider discussing your case with an attorney. Lawyers who practice in the personal injury field usually possess resources and experience in:

• evaluating fact situations
