A Riverside personal injury lawyer might be able to protect you from further harm if you suffered an accident or illness that was not your fault. The liable party should pay for your property loss, medical treatment, and other damages, not you or your loved one.
Our personal injury lawyers can manage your insurance claim, negotiate for a fair settlement, or prepare a case for court. Let us help you understand your legal rights if you or a loved one suffered injuries through no fault of your own.
If you were the victim of someone’s negligence or wrongdoing, call Ben Crump, PLLC at (800) 730-1331 for a free case review.
When to Hire a Riverside Personal Injury Lawyer
There are many situations when it may be in your best interest to call the office of a Riverside personal injury lawyer. Here are a few examples:
- If you or a loved one suffered bodily injury in the circumstances caused by another party’s reckless act, failure to act, or criminal act
- If you are getting the runaround from an insurance company about damages for your injuries
- If you are displeased with your current attorney and want a second opinion
California law provides legal remedies for victims of personal injury, but you only have a limited time to act. Under California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) §335.1, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, starting from the date you suffered injuries. This is not much time when you consider that most personal injury lawsuits begin as insurance claims.

Conversations between you and your attorney are privileged information. It is often a relief for injured people to speak frankly to a confidential legal advocate.

Establishing Liability in a Personal Injury Case
California has specific statutes for personal injury cases. There are certain conditions that must be met before you can pursue compensation from the liable party, including:
- Establish that the other party owed you a duty of care to avoid causing you bodily injury
- Demonstrate that the other party breached this duty of care in some manner, through negligence, omission, or wrongful act
- Show how this breach caused your injuries
- Prove that your injuries caused damages in the form of doctor bills, lost pay, and other losses
The other side may try to blame you for the accident to avoid taking financial responsibility. Our lawyers will counter these tactics with a deep understanding of personal injury law.

Damages in a Personal Injury Case
Damages are the economic and non-economic losses that you suffer because of the injury or accident. There are two kinds of damages that are most pursued in a personal injury case:
- Special damages are quantitative losses, such as a bill from a radiologist or the cost of repairing your car
- General damages are emotional losses such as loss of companionship if your spouse died due to medical malpractice
Sometimes an insurance adjuster will attempt to downplay your injuries and damages. A personal injury lawyer will fight for the best outcome for you and your loved ones.

Depending on the severity of your injuries, you could recover compensation for:
- Medical bills including emergency room services, hospitalization, surgery, prescription medication, and follow-up care
