California Indian Gaming – Casino Accidents:

Casino’s in the state of California are the scene of many serious injuries including slips and falls, nightclub fights and assaults, and bed bug infestations.Under Federal Laws Native American Tribe maintain legal sovereignty over civil action which emanate from tribal lands. California Indian Casino’s which are situated on Tribal lands are immune from civil lawsuits including personal injury lawsuits which take place on their property. Waiver of Immunity: However under the  Tribal-State Gaming Compact Indian Tribal Casinos a limited waiver of Tribal Immunity regarding personal injury (tort actions) was agreed to between Indian Gaming Casinos and the State of California.  Thus in most instances Tort claims including slip and falls, bodily injury, property damage and other personal injury lawsuits  arising out of Indian Gaming Facilities can be brought against such enterprises.

Property owner liability for tourist accidents:

Land owner liability varies greatly depending upon the classification of the victim.  Victims of Slip and fall accidents fall into three categories.

How do I protect myself from an elevator accident?

Invitee:  An invitee is owed the highest duty of care.  They are any individual who is either expressly or impliedly invited to another person’s premises for their mutual benefit. Licensee: Any individual who enters the premises at the owner or possessors consent for a non business or commercial purpose.  The most common example is a social guest.  In order to recover as a licensee, a victim must establish (all three):

1. The owner or possessor knew or should have known of the dangerous condition, and should have known that it created an unreasonable risk of harm, and likewise should have known that the plaintiff would fail to discover the dangerous condition
2. The owner or possessor did not make the condition safe or failed to warn the licensee of the condition
3. The licensee did not know of the dangerous condition or the risks involved.

Trespassers: Unlike an invitee or licensee, a trespasser enters premises without the property owner or possessor’s consent.  Generally, no duty is owed to a trespasser.  However, in situations where the possessor knows of potential trespassers, he or she must give reasonable warning for dangerous conditions, but only for artificial conditions, and only if the condition is not obvious.

Average Value of an Accident Injury Case in California

Frankly, there is no average case value that applies to all lawsuits involving accidents during a vacation in California. The extent of your injuries, your monetary losses, the type of entity you are suing – these are some of the issues that will impact how much you can receive from a successful lawsuit.

The type of accident you’ve had is another important factor when it comes to case value. Slip and fall cases, for example, may be settled for around $250,000 to $2,500,000 or more, based on how seriously you are injured. Auto accident cases involving cars, buses, and other forms of transportation can be worth $500,000 or more. Ultimately, the value of your case may be different that the ranges we’ve provided. However, the important thing is to determine a fair amount of compensation based on the harm you’ve suffered. Our vacation accident lawyers can assist you in this area, along with any other questions or concerns you have about your legal rights.

Statute of Limitations – Average Timeline to File an Injury Accident Case in California

The deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in California depends on the party that you are suing. Generally, you would need to consider the ownership of the building, attraction, business, etc. that’s liable for your accident. If, for example, you were injured from a dangerous condition at a hotel or restaurant, you would be suing a private entity, which means you have 2 years from the accident to file your lawsuit.

But what if you were injured on a property that’s owned by the city, county, or state? Under California law, claims against the government must be filed no less than 6 months from the date of your accident. Once the applicable agency receives your claim, they have 45 days to approve or deny your payment request. If you receive a denial notice from the agency, you have 6 months from the date of rejection to file a lawsuit. If, on the other hand, the agency fails to send you a written response in 45 days, your deadline to file a lawsuit is two years from the day you were injured.

Figuring out how long you have to pursue an accident claim can be complicated when you have been injured as a tourist in Los Angeles, Hollywood, or any other destination in California. We can ensure that your case is filed within the correct statute of limitations, no matter the circumstances.

How Long Does it Take to Settle these Cases?

The timeline to settle an accident injury claim can take anywhere from just a few months to one or more years. There are many factors that can affect the settlement process; the severity of your injuries, the type of entity you are suing, and the defendant’s degree of negligence are just a few examples. We often find that claims against privately owned properties take around 8 to 10 months to settle. Government claims, on the other hand, can take one to two years from start to finish. The entire process can take longer if your case goes to trial, though it’s worth noting that a trial is not necessary in over 90% of the cases we handle at our law firm.

Our lawyers are happy to speak with you if you’d like to learn more about the settlement process for a vacation accident injury case.
