Urgent Care Injury Lawyer
California residents are fortunate to have access to over 900 urgent care facilities across the state when they need medical help quickly. These facilities are designed to provide emergency care. However, they are not meant to offer the same level of acute care provided by a complete emergency room or trauma center. But consumers should find comfort in learning that many of these facilities are operated by the largest names in healthcare in the state and country, such as these locations:
- Cedars-Sinai Urgent Care: Located at 1922 Hillhurst Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027

As a consumer who is sick or hurt, you visit an urgent care for healthcare in a setting you feel is safe and from professionals you feel are well-trained and ready to deliver the diagnosis and care needed to help you feel better and heal. However, that is not always what happens when patients enter an urgent care late at night or when the facility is crammed with people who are in need of medical care on a weekend or holiday. Sadly, the result of these visits can be added injuries due to a slip and fall, trip and fall, harm from a falling object, or another incident that should have been prevented.
If you or a loved one recently used the services of one of the nearly 1,000 urgent care locations in the state and suffered an injury, please know that DTLA Law Group is ready to provide you with professional legal guidance and information that could help eliminate your stress and worries.

When you meet with your DTLA Law Group urgent care injury lawyer, you will discuss the details of the injury incident and harm you sustained while they gather all the vital facts. Once they have a complete understanding of the event, they will explain the legal merit of the case and if you have grounds for an urgent care personal injury lawsuit to seek compensation for the expenses and losses created when you got injured while in the care of an urgent care facility.
With this valuable information, all the choices are up to you. You will never be forced to file a lawsuit against the urgent care, nor are you obligated to hire DTLA Law Group, even if you later decide to file a claim against the facility. Our only purpose in providing all of this helpful legal information is to ensure that victims like yourself have the knowledge and access to the help they need when a lawsuit is the best solution for their immediate and long-term needs.

Sadly, you might think of very complex health or medical situations when considering the causes of injury incidents at urgent care locations. Sadly, the cause of most of these injury incidents is related to a failure to provide simple housekeeping and cleaning services throughout the facility. The safety hazards often causing injury incidents include:
- Food and drinks spilled on the floor that are not swiftly cleaned up
- Water lines or hoses leaking onto the floor
- Clogged drains cause water to backup onto floors
- Missing, damaged, or saturated floor mats in moist areas
- Litter or trash left on the floor after falling from an overly full trashcan
- Loose flooring or carpet
- Damaged or uneven flooring surfaces
- Poorly marked or unmarked transitions from one flooring surface to another or changes in elevation, such as steps or ramps
- Electrical cords or hoses left in walkways
No special training or medical knowledge is needed to understand that these minor issues need to be immediately corrected to prevent injuries. However, the staff in many urgent care facilities fail to address these issues promptly, resulting in an innocent patient or guest suffering severe harm.
Is Urgent Care Staff Obligated To Eliminate Spills And Hazards?It is crucial to understand that an urgent care must abide by the same premises liability laws as any other public or private property. These laws govern the care and inspections required by the owner or their staff to ensure the safety of guests on the property. If the staff fail to look for safety hazards and correct any issues they discover or that are reported to them in a reasonable time, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, when the incident is further evaluated, if the staff negligence is found to have caused or contributed to the injuries of a guest, the property or urgent care owners can be liable for the losses and expenses suffered by the victim due to their injuries.
If you believe that the harm you suffered while at a California urgent care facility was the result of staff negligence, please contact DTLA Law Group today. Our staff is ready to schedule your free consultation to discuss the incident and help you understand your legal options to resolve the matter.
What Is The Possible Value Of My Urgent Care Injury Lawsuit?While you are sure to be concerned about how you will cover medical expenses and other monetary challenges caused by your urgent care injuries, please know that there are no fast or simple answers related to a lawsuit and its compensation amount. The court does not award predetermined amounts for certain injuries or incidents. Instead, each case is evaluated, and the compensation amount received by the victim is based on the victim’s actual losses and expenses.
Working with your DTLA Law Group urgent care injury lawyer, you will gather all documents to support the allowable expenses you are claiming. These items will be used to calculate your compensation and typically include but are not always limited to:
- All legal expenses related to preparing, filing, and litigating your urgent care injury lawsuit
- The replacement cost of any personal property that was destroyed or damaged in the urgent care injury incident
- All medical costs and expenses related to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the injuries sustained at the urgent care, including emotional healthcare for the stress and trauma caused by the incident
- Lost income if the injuries sustained at the urgent care prevented you from working at your regular job until you were fully healed and cleared by a medical professional to return to work
In cases that result in severe harm and a lengthy recovery time, the victim is permitted to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount, as are legal and medical bills, you will rely on your legal team at DTLA Law Group to provide guidance in selecting a fair and reasonable amount for this aspect of the compensation. They often review recently resolved cases to maintain a clear understanding of the amount the court is willing to award for this aspect of the compensation.
The victim of a personal injury is given two years from the date of the injury incident to file a lawsuit with the court. If the case is not filed in that time, the victim loses the right to seek compensation and justice for the results of that incident in the future via a lawsuit. Finally, there are minimal exceptions that would provide the victim with added time to file a claim once the original time limit has passed. Please get in touch with DTLA Law Group today to discuss the time remaining to take legal action.
No Upfront Legal Fees At DTLA Law GroupWhen you hire DTLA Law Group to handle your urgent care injury lawsuit, we never ask for any upfront payments. Our client-friendly payment policy eliminated these payments and the stress they cause injury victims. We only get paid after the case is completed, and you have the compensation that includes funds to cover your legal costs and other expenses. In addition, if your DTLA Law Group urgent care injury lawyer fails to win your lawsuit and get you the compensation needed to cover your expenses, you owe the firm nothing for its time and investment in the matter. Please do not hesitate to contact DTLA Law Group today to discuss your urgent care injury incident and how our experts can assist you in resolving the hardship caused by injuries due to staff negligence.
