Personal Injury Law Firm in Alhambra, CA

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, seeking a personal injury lawsuit is no easy task. Defendants and their insurance companies are backed by armies of lawyers prepared to defend their clients. Who's looking out for you?

At Mendez & Sanchez, we defend personal injury victims. Where possible, we resolve cases out of court so our clients can return to their lives. If necessary, however, we assemble a litigation strategy and take the case to court. Either way, we stand by our clients from start to finish so they can focus on getting better.

What Is Personal Injury?

The essence of a personal injury claim is negligence. When another person, business, or even a governmental agency acts irresponsibly, others can get hurt. The injury is typically physical, but it can also be psychological or emotional too.

"Negligence" is a legal term that suggests failure to exercise an appropriate degree of care under the circumstances. Another way of putting it is failing to behave as a reasonably prudent person would. Negligence can be demonstrated through someone's actions (like speeding or driving drunk) or through an exclusion (such as failing to remove a known hazard from one's company property).

To win a personal injury case, the victim has to show that the defendant was negligent. There are four specific components that are required under California legislation:

Potential Damages In A Personal Injury Claim

The objective of a personal injury lawsuit 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 take legal action against a negligent party will not last forever. In California, personal injury cases are subject to what's called a statute of limitations. This establishes a deadline for plaintiffs to file their claims before they lose the right to do so. For a personal injury, the statute of limitations is two years. In most cases, the clock begins to run when the injury occurs.

However, it's best not to procrastinate taking action on your claim. Witnesses' memories can fade over time, proof will be more difficult to obtain, and you could forget crucial information if you wait too long. If you or a loved one have been hurt, reach out to a dedicated Alhambra personal injury attorney.

How Can the Personal Injury Attorneys of Mendez & Sanchez Help Me?

Suing a defendant usually means suing an insurance company, like a motor vehicle insurer. Regardless, you can count on the defendant's attorneys pushing back on your claims or making settlement offers that come nowhere near to covering your losses. You want a lawyer that not only understands California personal injury legislation, but knows how to determine a reasonable value for your case.
