California Personal Injury Cases

Personal injuries can occur in many ways. These can include but are not limited to:

These types of accidents and incidents can result in injuries ranging from mild cases of whiplash to catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury or spinal cord damage. In all cases, personal injury claims are made on the basis that the at-fault party or parties owed you a certain duty of care which was violated that resulted in your injuries. 

For example, motorists owe you a duty of care in driving in compliance with traffic laws. Where they fail to do so, their negligence can result in traffic crashes making them liable for the harm they have caused.  

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim? 

According to California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, you have two years to file a claim for your personal injury case before the statute of limitations ends. If the statute of limitations does end before you file a claim, you will most likely lose your right to do so along with your opportunity to recover compensation. 

There are some exceptions that can change this two-year time period so it’s important to speak to an attorney about your case as soon as you can. Our firm offers free, no-obligation consultations so you have nothing to lose by contacting Moss Bollinger. 

Recoverable Damages in a Personal Injury Case

In any personal injury claim, you may be entitled to various damages, from economic that can be proven by invoices and bills to non-economic such as pain and suffering and emotional trauma. At Moss Bollinger we can calculate all such damages so that you can pursue a full recovery. In most cases, you will be dealing with an insurance company which is why you need our services.

 These companies are known for the tactics they use in protecting themselves against liability by doing everything possible to pay you as little as possible. Moss Bollinger has stood up to large corporations routinely over our many years of practice. Our dedicated and aggressive approach has resulted in many wins for our clients. 

Who Is Responsible Or At Fault In Personal Injury Cases?

Determining who is at fault or accountable in a personal injury case often depends on negligence. When someone fails to act with reasonable care and causes injury to another person, that behavior is referred to as "negligence". Usually, whoever is judged to have been negligent pays for damages or losses.

For example, if a driver ignores traffic laws and causes an accident, they may be considered negligent and held accountable for harm to pedestrians or injuries suffered by other drivers. In a similar vein, a homeowner who neglects to keep their property maintained may be responsible for any injuries that occur on their property.

However, it's important to note that responsibility is not always clear-cut. In some cases, multiple parties may share the blame. For example, in a car accident involving several vehicles, more than one driver might be found partially at fault. If the accident was due to a malfunctioning auto part, the manufacturer may also be held responsible.

Many states, including California, operate under a system of "comparative negligence," which means that even if you are partly at fault for your own injuries, you can still recover damages from other at-fault parties, although your compensation may be reduced according to your percentage of fault.

If you or a loved one were recently injured and you believe someone else is at fault, it's generally advisable to seek legal advice to understand the rights and options available to you. Get in touch with Moss Bollinger as soon as possible.
