Personal Injury Attorney in Monterey Park, CA

Mendez and Sanchez - Personal Injury Attorney in Monterey Park, California

If you've been injured due to another person's negligence, you have the right to ask for financial compensation for the losses you've endured. However, pursuing a personal injury claim is no simple task. Offenders and their insurance providers are backed by armies of attorneys prepared to protect their clients. Who's looking out for you?

At Mendez & Sanchez, we fight for personal injury victims. Where possible, we resolve cases out of court so our clients can return to their lives. If needed, however, we put together a litigation strategy and take the case to trial. In either case, we defend our clients from start to finish so they can focus on recovering.

What is Personal Injury?

The essence of a personal injury case is negligence. When another individual, company, or even a governmental agency acts irresponsibly, others can get injured. The injury is often physical, but it can also be psychological or emotional as well.

"Negligence" is a legal term that means failure to exercise a proper level of care under the circumstances. Another way of putting it is failure to behave as a reasonably sensible individual would. Negligence can be displayed through a person's actions (like speeding or driving intoxicated) or through an omission (such as failing to eliminate a known risk from one's business property).

To win a personal injury case, the victim must show that the defendant was negligent. There are four particular components that are required under California law:

Potential Damages in a Personal Injury Case

The goal of a personal injury claim is to make the plaintiff whole through financial compensation. This compensation is known as damages, and some examples are:

Are There Time Limits to File a Personal Injury Claim?

Your right to sue a negligent party will not last forever. In California, personal injury claims are subject to what's called a statute of limitations. This sets a deadline for plaintiffs to file their lawsuits before they lose the right to do so. For a personal injury, the statute of limitations is two years. In most cases, the clock starts to run when the injury takes place.

However, it's ideal not to delay taking action on your case. Witnesses' memories can diminish with time, evidence will be more difficult to obtain, and you could forget vital details if you wait too long. If you or a loved one have been injured, reach out to a dedicated Monterey Park personal injury lawyer.

Regardless, you can count on the offender's attorneys pushing back on your claims or making settlement offers that come nowhere near to covering your losses. You want a lawyer who not only understands California personal injury legislation, but knows how to establish a reasonable value for your case.
