Responsabilidad y derecho a reclamar

Su derecho a reclamar se basa estrictamente en la responsabilidad. Debe poder demostrar que una parte o entidad concreta es responsable del daño que usted o un miembro de su familia ha sufrido. La responsabilidad se basa en la negligencia, which consists of four elements – duty of care, breach of duty, cause, and harm. The first step in establishing liability is proving that specific duty owed you a duty of care; for example, lifeguards owe swimmers a duty of care (the duty to be vigilant and act promptly/diligently in the case of an emergency). The second step is establishing that the specific party failed to perform his or her duty of care – or breached the duty of care towards you. Lifeguards can breach their duty of care by performing improper CPR. The third step is establishing that the breach of duty caused harm. If the harm suffered can be directly connected to a breached duty of care, a party could be found liable – meaning that affected parties could pursue claims. Who could be liable for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered?

• Si en el incidente estuvo implicado un socorrista que trabajaba con el cuerpo de bomberos del condado (u otro organismo del condado), el organismo del condado podría ser responsable. Estos organismos tienen la obligación de garantizar que sus socorristas estén debidamente formados y sean competentes. Cuando los socorristas administran negligentemente RCP inadecuada, estas agencias pueden ser responsables.

Su derecho a una indemnización

If you pursue a claim and it reaches a successful outcome, you could recover some sort of compensation. The specific type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to recover will always depend on the details of your claim, including but not limited to the type of injuries suffered, the way that your injuries affect different aspects of your life, and the expenses associated with the harm suffered, for example. Without a doubt, every claim is different and will result in the recovery of different forms of compensation; however, the following categories of compensation are often available:

• Gastos médicos
• Salarios perdidos
• Dolor y sufrimiento
• Pérdida de consorcio
• Gastos funerarios
• Daños punitivos

Su reclamación está sujeta a plazos

Todos las reclamaciones por daños personales están sujetas a plazos estrictos – statutes of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the specific length of time that claimants have to file their claims. Personal injury claims are typically subject to a two-year statute of limitations, at least in the state of California. This means that claimants only have two years to pursue their claims; if they do not file their claims within the appropriate timeline, they will lose their right to take any legal action. However, this statute of limitations could be irrelevant – especially if the case involves a government agency. If affected parties are filing against government agencies, claimants will only have 6 months to file their claims directly with the government agency; if their claim is denied, they will be subject to additional deadlines. Why is this important? Some lifeguards are part of the fire department; therefore, affected parties might find themselves suing the county fire department. Regardless, if you would like to learn more about the specific statute of limitations that might apply to your claim, do not hesitate to contact our law firm at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers will ensure that your claim is filed within the appropriate length of time so that you preserve your right to file a claim.
