California Personal Injury Lawyer

How do accidents happen? Why? Is someone usually at fault or responsible? "If I have an accident on someone's property, isn't it the property owner's fault?" If the other party was parked in a NO PARKING ZONE when I hit him, isn't it his fault?

Trial lawyers know that our human nature reaction after an accident is to point the finger of blame to someone else; "It wasn't my fault. I was minding my own business, when suddenly............."

An accident usually happens by chance, unexpectedly, sometimes without known or obvious cause. It may result in an unpleasant or unfortunate occurrence involving injury, loss, suffering, or even death. In most instances, it happens so quickly, we are caught off guard, unaware and without sufficient time to react or avoid the calamity. It is the job of the trial Northern or Southern California personal injury attorney to determine who was at fault in the accident, and if it was the other party, to recommend action on the part of his client.

Why do accidents happen? Our society is much more complex today than it was a few years ago. We drive more, covering more territory and longer distances thereby making us more vulnerable and susceptible to an accident. More products are available for our use. Some of them are not as safe as they should be or need more research and development concerning safety before they are sold and placed into the mainstream of society.

We are bombarded with chemicals and pollution in our everyday world. We are solving some of our problems, but others remain that can cause harm and unexpected injury.

Much of our world is safer than it has been in the past, primarily because of public pressure brought by trial lawyers through use of our legal system in seeking redress for our injuries in our courts. Seat belts, shatterproof glass, childproof medicine caps, removal of asbestos, are but a few examples of the progress we have made in our society through the use of our legal system.

But, what is the answer? What can we do to prevent an accident? Are we entitled to recover for our injuries if they result from an accident? Can someone sue us for an accident?
