What Does Personal Injury Cover?  

If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, it falls under personal injury litigation. Personal injury law gives victims an avenue where they can seek compensation from those whose negligent actions caused their injury. Claimants can seek compensation for both economic losses (medical bills) and non-economic losses (pain and suffering). 

A personal injury claim in Torrance covers physical and psychological harm caused by accident, including economic and non-economic damages, such as:  

  • Medical bills 
  • Lost wages 
  • Property damage 
  • Loss of opportunity to work or live a desired life 
  • Emotional distress, mental anguish  

For a personal injury claim to be valid, the individual must show that the negligence or wrongdoing of another person or entity caused their injuries. The negligent action could be something minor, like failing to yield right-of-way in a car accident, or something as serious as medical malpractice or product liability.   

Types of Personal Injury Claims in California

The process of filing a personal injury claim typically begins with an assessment of the claim, ensuring the validity of the claim and determination of assumed damages owed. Your Torrance personal injury attorney will investigate the incident, collect evidence such as medical reports and witness testimonies, negotiate with insurance companies or opposing parties, and file all legal paperwork necessary to move forward with the injury case.  

Personal injury cases can take many forms based on the type of injuries or parties involved, such as:   

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents: Injury caused by the negligence or recklessness of another driver while operating a motor vehicle. 
  • Medical malpractice: Injury resulting from the negligent treatment of a healthcare provider. 
  • Nursing home abuse and neglect: Injury caused by inadequate care provided in a nursing home or other long-term care facility. 
  • Product liability: Injury caused by an unreasonably dangerous product or design flaw in a manufactured item. 
  • Slip and fall accidents: Injury resulting from an unsafe property condition, either on public or private land, that should have been fixed but was not. 
  • Dog bites: Injury caused by the reckless behavior or negligence of someone’s pet dog. 
  • Wrongful death claims: Claim brought against someone who has caused injury to another person resulting in their death. 
  • Workplace injuries and workers’ compensation: Injury sustained due to hazardous work conditions leading to medical bills and lost wages. 
  • Catastrophic Injuries: Traumatic injuries caused by traumatic accidents like a car accident or assault, which lead to physical impairment, cognitive issues, and other forms of disability. 

Throughout this process, your personal injury attorney in Torrance will guide you and inform you of any developments in your case. If a settlement is not reached before your court date, a judge may be involved in deciding an appropriate resolution. 

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury Case in California? 

In California, the statute of limitations for a personal injury case is two years from the date of the injury or accident. This means that if you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, you must file your claim within two years of the date of the injury or accident. If you fail to file within this time frame, you may be barred from pursuing legal action and seeking compensation for your injuries.

It is important to note that there are some exceptions to the two-year rule, depending on the circumstances of the personal injury case. For example, if the victim is a minor or was incapacitated at the time of the injury, the statute of limitations may be tolled or extended. It is always advisable to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer in Torrance to determine your legal options and the applicable statute of limitations in your specific case.
