Knowing If You Have a Valid Claim

If you’ve been injured in an accident, you may be wondering whether you have a valid personal injury claim. To successfully pursue compensation, certain legal elements must be met:

1. Duty of Care

You must show that the person or entity responsible for your injury owed you a duty of care. For example, drivers have a legal responsibility to operate their vehicles safely, property owners must maintain safe conditions, and manufacturers are required to produce safe products. This duty of care is the foundation of most personal injury claims.

2. Breach of Duty

After establishing that the other party owed you a duty of care, you must prove that they breached that duty. A breach occurs when the responsible party fails to act with reasonable care. Common examples include distracted driving, failing to clean up a spill, or manufacturing a defective product.

3. Causation

To have a valid claim, you must show that the breach of duty directly caused your injury. This is known as causation. You will need to demonstrate that the responsible party’s actions or negligence were the proximate cause of your injuries and that you wouldn’t have been harmed if not for their behavior.

4. Damages

Finally, you must have suffered actual damages as a result of the accident. Damages can be both economic, such as medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. Without damages, there is no legal basis for a claim.

How Much is Your Case Worth?

Determining the worth of your case involves evaluating various factors that contribute to your damages. These damages typically fall into three categories:

Economic Damages refer to the measurable financial losses resulting from the injury:

  • Medical Expenses are the costs associated with medical treatment, including hospital bills, surgeries, medication, therapy, and rehabilitation.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to the injury, including missed workdays, reduced earning capacity, and potential future earnings.
  • Property Damage: Reimbursement for damage to your property, such as a vehicle in a car accident.

Non-Economic Damages are less tangible but equally significant losses that affect your quality of life:

  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, discomfort, and emotional distress caused by the injury.
  • Emotional Distress: Reimbursement for psychological trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues resulting from the accident.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for the inability to engage in activities or hobbies you enjoyed before the injury.

Punitive Damages may be awarded in cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct by the at-fault party. These damages are intended to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future.

The value of your case depends on the extent of your injuries, the impact on your life, the degree of fault of the other party, and other relevant factors. Consulting with an experienced personal injury lawyer is key to accurately assess the worth of your case and pursue fair compensation.

First Steps Following an Incident

Following a personal injury, taking prompt action is essential for safeguarding your health, overall well-being, and legal entitlements. Below is a short guide outlining the initial steps accident victims should follow:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Promptly seek medical care to address your injuries, even if they seem minor. Document all medical visits, treatments, and expenses.
  2. Document the Incident: Take photos or videos of the accident scene, injuries, and property damage. Obtain contact information from witnesses and file a report with the authorities if necessary.
  3. Keep Detailed Records: Maintain records of medical bills, prescriptions, transportation costs, and other expenses related to your injury. Keep a journal documenting your symptoms and how they affect your daily life.
  4. Contact a Lawyer: Seek legal representation from an experienced personal injury lawyer to navigate the claims process and protect your rights.

What Evidence is Crucial in Personal Injury Claims?

In claims, gathering compelling evidence is paramount to building a strong case and securing fair compensation. Several types of evidence play a leading role in substantiating the claims made by the injured party:

  1. Photographs of the Injury/Accident Scene: Visual proof of the accident scene and injuries.
  2. Medical Records: Detailed documentation of injuries and treatment received.
  3. Witness Statements: Testimonies from eyewitnesses or individuals with relevant information.
  4. Police Reports: Official reports detailing the incident, including key facts and observations by law enforcement.

Deadline to File a Personal Injury Claim

In San Bernardino, individuals typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim, as outlined by the California personal injury statute of limitations. This timeframe underscores the importance of timely action following an incident. It’s worth noting that initiating a lawsuit can often incentivize the insurer to engage in settlement discussions. 

Prompt action and careful consideration of the legal timeline are crucial aspects of navigating a personal injury claim in San Bernardino.

How Much Does It Cost?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer typically involves various cost structures designed to accommodate clients’ financial circumstances. One typical fee arrangement is the contingency fee, where the lawyer’s payment is contingent upon the case’s successful outcome. 

Under this arrangement, the lawyer receives a percentage of the final settlement or court award as their fee. Our team is committed to providing transparent and affordable legal services, and we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t owe us any fees unless we win your case.
