Riverside Personal Injury Law
Personal injury cases involve an injured party or victim holding another entity or individual liable for personal damages and/or injuries sustained due to their negligence.
According to California state law,
“Everyone is responsible, not only for the result of his or her willful acts, but also for an injury occasioned to another by his or her want of ordinary care or skill in the management of his or her property or person, except so far as the later has, willfully or by want of ordinary care, brought the injury upon himself or herself.”
In other words, an individual or entity can be held liable for the damages and injuries they cause if they are found to have been negligent in providing a duty of care.
For example, a driver on Riverside roadways is expected to operate their vehicle consistently with the Rules of the Road and while exhibiting safe driving behaviors. Texting while driving, for example, may breach this duty, causing undue distraction and leading to an accident.
Establishing Liability
-
The party at fault must be found to have owed the injured party a duty of care; and
-
The party at fault must have been found to have breached this duty, contributing in part or full to the cause of the accident.
-
Further, the injured party must prove that damages were incurred due to the accident.
Further, the injured party must prove that damages were incurred due to the accident.
What Types of Damages Can You Claim Compensation For?
- Current and future medical bills incurred as a result of the injury
- Lost wages from time off work
- Reduced future earning potential or lost business opportunities
- Cost or repairing or replacing damaged personal property
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship and consortium
- Disability
In some cases, Riverside victims may be able to recover what is known as punitive damages, or those damages based not on actual expenses but designed as a punishment for the at-fault party. Punitive damages may also be awarded as a deterrent to others who may act recklessly or carelessly in the future.
