Delivery Person Injury Lawyer

Worker’s Compensation Is An Option

Because you were hurt while on the job making a delivery for your employer, you have the right to open a worker’s comp claim to seek help from the program. All employees in the state are covered by this insurance program that is funded by employers. There is no cost to the employee when they use the program to cover their medical expenses and lost wages. The program includes payment of up to $1M in medical care expenses per workplace injury and up to 60% of your lost wages if you are unable to work while healing. The staff at DTLA Law Group can provide more information and assistance in opening a claim with worker’s comp as long as you contact our office and open the claim within the required 30 days after the workplace injury.

Can I Sue The Property Owner For Delivery Person Injuries?

All private and public property owners have a legal obligation under premises liability law to maintain the property in a safe and hazard-free manner. They must complete inspections for safety issues and correct or eliminate them promptly when one is discovered to comply with their duty of care. If they fail to act in a manner consistent with what the average prudent person would do in a similar situation, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later found that any guest suffered harm that was caused by staff negligence or where staff negligence was a contributing factor in the injury incident, the property owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the injury victim. If you suffered a trip and fall or slip and fall because the property owner failed to adequately maintain the property, please reach out to DTLA Law Group to discuss the potential for a personal injury lawsuit to cover your losses and expenses.

Delivery Person Dog Bite Injuries

California is a strict liability state when evaluating the responsibilities of a dog owner. They are almost always held accountable for any damage or harm caused by their dog. The law requires the owner of any dog to remain in control of the animal at all times. If they fail to maintain control and the dog escapes and bites someone, the owner is liable unless the bite victim was hurting the dog or was trespassing illegally on the property where the bite occurred. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group if you suffered a dog bite when making a delivery to learn more about holding the dog’s owner accountable for the harm and pain you endured due to their failure to control their animal.

How Much Is A Delivery Person Injury Lawsuit Worth?

When you are the victim of personal injuries, it is critical you know that there are no predetermined compensation amounts awarded by the court for certain injuries or incidents. Instead, the actual losses and expenses you face because of the injuries you suffered will be used to establish the compensation awarded for the lawsuit. You will work closely with your DTLA Law Group legal team to gather all the documentation to support your allowable expenses and to accurately determine your compensation. The items typically used in this process include but are not always limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the incident
• The cost of all current and projected future medical treatment and rehabilitation related to the harm sustained in the delivery person injury incident, as well as any therapy or counseling required to treat emotional trauma and stress from the incident
• Your lost income if the delivery injuries prevented you from returning to your regular job until you were fully healed
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your delivery person injury lawsuit

In cases that result in significant harm and require a lengthy recovery time, the victim is permitted to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount like your lost income or legal bills, you will rely on your delivery person injury lawyer at DTLA Law Group to provide guidance in selecting an appropriate amount for this aspect of the compensation. They often refer to recently completed cases with similar details to ensure they are recommending an amount that will be be granted by the court.

In most cases, the victim of personal injuries is given two years from the date of their injuries to file a lawsuit with the court. The time is strictly enforced, and once it has expired, the victim loses the right to hold the negligent party accountable for the harm they caused via a lawsuit. In addition, minimal exceptions would provide added time to file a claim once the time limit has passed.

It is critical to know that in cases where the responsible party is a government entity or agency, such as the city or the state, the time limit to take legal action is decreased to only six months from the date of the injury incident. Please contact DTLA Law Group today to discuss your delivery person injury incident and the time remaining to file a lawsuit with the court.
