Westlake Village Personal Injury Lawyers
How Do I File A Personal Injury Lawsuit?
En su mayor parte, demandas por lesiones personales can be filed if you can prove that you were a victim of negligence. This requires showing that you were owed a duty of care that was breached, which then resulted in an accident that caused physical injuries. If you were not physically harmed, you won’t be able to pursue a personal injury claim. There are some different requirements for a few types of personal injury claims, though. For example, medical malpractice claims must have an established doctor/patient relationship between the parties, or you will not be able to sue. If you received offhand medical advice or read about common cures for an injury and then further harmed yourself, you won’t be able to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. Some of the different personal injury lawsuits include:- Accidentes de tráfico, which are by far the most common. Car accidents can happen anywhere, from the freeway to parking lots, and can result in extreme injuries. You may also be involved in accidents involving other vehicles, motorcycles, trucks, buses, and more. There is the risk that those on bicycles, patinetes, and on foot can be struck as well. Certain types of crashes can lead to more injuries than others, while you are afforded more safety in some vehicles.
- Infestaciones de chinches, which can occur in apartment buildings that were recently rented or in hotels that have a lot of visitors. All property owners must provide safe and healthy housing to tenants, whether permanent or temporary. The quarters must be sanitary and free from filth.
- Agresión y lesiones by another individual Assault can be limited to verbal threats and claims, while battery is the physical act of harm that accompanies it. Many assault and batteries take place at nightclubs and bars when individuals have been excessively drinking.
- Casos de negligencia médica, where doctors or nurses make an error in practice or judgment and cause injuries to patients. The hospital can be held accountable for such wrongs.
- Premises liability cases, including slip and fall lawsuits and damage by broken or defective property. All property owners must ensure that the premises is safe for visitation. If you were hurt, you must be able to show that the property owner knew about the hazard and did not fix, caused the hazard to happen, or did not know but reasonably should have.
- Reclamaciones de responsabilidad por productos defectuosos, which arise when items malfunction or have defects that cause injuies. To sue a company for a defective product, you must show that the product had a design flaw, was created with an error during manufacturing, or lacked proper warnings or hazard labels on the packaging or on the item itself.
- Mordeduras de perro by unleashed, roaming, or dangerous dogs. California does not have a one-bite rule for dogs; owners are held strictly liable for the actions of their pets and they can be severely punished if they break the law and their dog harms another individual.
What Evidence Do I Need To File A Claim?
You will need ample evidence from the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you have only a bit of evidence but the incident was widespread among many parties, you could join a class action lawsuit, which utilizes all of the evidence collectively gathered by the plaintiffs. You should be sure to get medical treatment immediately after the incident to ascertain the level of your damages and what kind of treatment you will need in the future. This will also be evidence in and of itself: if you do not go to the doctor after the damages, it will appear as though you were not hurt or that you were trying to use the previous accident to get treatment for another incident. It is best for your claim if there is little to no time between the injuries and the treatment. Other evidence for your claim can include:- Medical notes and receipts
- Credit card or bank statements
- Fotos de sus lesiones
- Pictures of the responsible party
- Pictures of the scene of the incident
- Copy of an incident report with the company
- Copia del informe policial
- The defective product
- Messages or screenshots
- Eyewitness or bystanders testimonies and statements
¿De cuánto tiempo dispongo para presentar una demanda?
A personal injury lawsuit in California must be filed within 2 years of the date of the injury. If you do not take action within this time, you will be barred from pursuing compensation. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that evidence will degrade o that you won’t have a need for the compensation. The responsible party may not be able to compensate you, either. Although the standard statute of limitations for claims is 2 years, there are some differences. You may have the statute extended if you were underage at the time of the incident or if you were left mentally or physically compromised after the accident. You also could have the statute extended to match the duration of time that a defendant has left the state. Additionally, medical malpractice cases must be filed within a year of the discovery of the injury or 3 years from the injury itself, unless a foreign object was left behind in the body after surgery; this situation does not have a statute. If you wish to file a lawsuit against a government entity, you must do so even quicker. You only have six months to file a claim against a municipality. We know how confusing it can be to pinpoint the deadline for your claim, especially if you are eligible for exceptions.
