This makes it almost impossible for an injury victim to resolve the matter with the
insurance company when it comes to medical bills, pain and suffering or property
damage. It is for this reason that the attorney needs to be consulted and the earlier
in the case the better for the victim who will gain few results with an insurance
company.
Q. When injured on another person’s property is there a case where a settlement is
recovered?
A. Property owners are responsible to ensure that their property is safe to the
public and in cases where it is proved that the owner did not meet this specification
there might be a monetary settlement.
This will depend on the type of property whether it is personal property or
commercial property and it depends on the extent of the property owners’
obligation it is, the facts surrounding the injury and the jurisdiction.
The responsibility can be different in some states where it depends on who the
visitor to the property is and what kind of property it is, if it is personal property
then the responsibility is different.
It is often divided; when the property owner has invited someone on to their
property they have the responsibility to implement reasonable safety. When it is a
person who is uninvited such as a solicitor then the property owner has the
responsibility to warn of any hidden dangers, such as slippery steps or an unleashed
animal. The person that has no reason to be on the property and can be considered
a trespasser. This person is uninvited and the property owner does not have
knowledge that they are on the property if this person is injured they have little
recourse in the ability to recover damages.
When an injury occurs on property in California the property owner must
implement reasonable safety for visitors and the plaintiff must prove the property
owner did not exercise safe conditions. This of course depends on many
circumstances as to what reasonable safety might be on the property.
Children’s safety even without permission to be on a property is more stringent and
the owner is responsible to ensure to prevent any unforeseen harm, this is not
applied to adults in the same manner under the law. This includes such things as
outdoor swimming pools where it is the owners’ responsibility to have an enclosed
fence with a locked gate. A failure to do this will place the owner as completely
liable for all injuries incurred by a child and this also applies to children that are
trespassing and have been told not to be on the property.
Q. What should a person do when involved in a car accident?
A. The car accident victim should first see if they have been injured, the next most
important thing they can do is to note important information and the entire accident
when possible. This can help the claim process go smoothly because this noted
information at the original time of the accident will be more reliable than using the
memory that can fade over time.
Some of the important factors that should be noted are the weather and time of the
accident, what you as a driver were doing when the accident occurred, what was
seen as the accident occurred and what was said by anyone involved in the accident.
The accident should be reported, this includes if the accident needs to be reported
in writing to insurance companies or the department of motor vehicles.
In this case make only the briefest statements possible related to the accident and
do not admit to any responsibility in the accident. When asked about injuries
incurred list every injury no matter how insignificant, as insurance companies might
have access to this written statement.
After the accident it is important to keep a record of injuries and their progress, as
well as the pain, anxiety and other problems related to the injuries including loss of
sleep from stress due to the accident or injuries.
Q. In the case of a car hit from behind can the driver of the hit vehicle be held
responsible?
A. Not usually, it does not matter in most cases what the driver was doing, the
driver in the vehicle behind has the responsibility to have control of their vehicle at
all times and this means traveling at a safe distance. The driver behind a car should
be far enough behind that even if the breaks are applied quickly they will be able to
come to a stop without hitting the car in front of them.
There is one possible situation where the driver that hits the car in front of them is
not held liable, this is when the first and second car are stopped and a third car hits
the middle car pushing it into the first car. This is gives the driver of the middle car
little control over the situation in order to avoid the first car.
Q. What is the explanation of a slip and fall accident?
A. To explain this is it a lawsuit that is filed when someone has been injured in a slip and fall accident on a property
such as a store, hotel, restaurant or other place where there is either a wet floor or some type of debris. This can also
include a slip and fall in a shower at a hotel, from which injuries occur including back injuries.
In this type of case the plaintiff must prove that the property owner knew of the hazard and did not take measures to
correct them in a reasonable amount of time. Such as a liquid that was spilled and not mopped up for an hour, or a
mopped floor that does not have a sign marking it to alert customers.
However if a plaintiff walked on a marked wet floor and had a slip and fall accident it may be difficult to hold the
defendant liable.
Q. Who can be held liable in a slip and fall accident?
A. There are certain facts that distinguish if a property owner can be held liable, the owner or employee must know
about the danger, such as liquid that has spilled. In this case while they may not have spilled it reasonable care may
prove that it should have been cleaned up prior to the slip and fall accident.
However if it is a floor or carpet that has a defect, then this is irresponsibility on the part of the owner, as it should
have been repaired.
Q. If a friend or neighbors dog attacks why do I need an attorney?
A. There are some dog bite victims that are not sure if they want to retain an attorney because they know the dog’s
owner who bit and they are concerned that it could damage their relationship with the pet owner. They are also
concerned that it might end with the dog being put down and most people do not want this even for a pet that has
attacked. They are also often concerned that it will anger the person who owns the pet and when an experienced dog
bite attack attorney is handling this type of case they understand the pet owner will be defensive in most cases because
they did not feel their pet could be a danger.
It is also true in most dog bite cases the money that will be asked for in a suit by the attorney will not come from the
dog owners pocket but from their home owners insurance and this is something they will pay whether there is a claim
against it or not.
The attorney will also take into account that this person is someone the victim knows on a personal level and will
treat it as such and they are always courteous as well as professional.
The settlement that a dog bite attack victim would receive on their own is far less than they would get with an
attorney while still leaving personal relationships in tact.
It is also not true that the canine will be put down, the attorney has no authority to decide this and unless the dog bite
victim asks for this it would not be a part of the case. The owner however can decide this on their own if the canine
has a history of being vicious. Contact 888-400-5776 toll free.

Q. When does a person need a personal
injury attorney?
A. Whenever a person is injured in an
accident they deserve to be compensated
for their injuries, their lost wages, medical
bills and the pain and suffering from this
injury.
The proper handling of such a case and in
a reasonable amount of time is critical and
this is why an experienced personal injury
attorney is important.
Statistics also show that when the injury is
covered by an insurance company when
the victim recovers approximately three
times the amount in a settlement than the
person who faces the insurance company
unprotected by a personal injury attorney.
Insurance companies often deny claims or
offer a small pittance for a settlement
when it is a case that is clearly one that
the insurance company should pay a large
amount.
