How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
Under California law, you can pursue legal action and seek damages when you suffer a loss that is due to someone else’s negligence. A prima facie case of negligence consists of a duty, breach, causation, and damages. Accordingly, to file a personal injury claim, there must be breach of legal duty between the wrongdoer (the defendant) and the injured person (the plaintiff) and damages that occur because of that breach. In other words, you can file a personal injury claim when someone else’s actions lead to an injury. Each case is different so it is important to discuss the details of your potential case with an attorney. Our team has the technical know-how to answer any questions you may have.
