Legal Representation For Personal Injury Claims In Riverside

If you have been injured in an accident, your whole life may be thrown off balance. Physical and emotional injuries can lead to temporary or permanent disabilities that result in lost wages and other damages. Those who are injured in accidents that are caused by someone else’s negligence are entitled to financial compensation under the law. The Riverside personal injury lawyers of Martinez & Schill LLP are experienced in handling all types of personal injury cases, such as:

There are as many different types of personal injury cases as there are ways to be injured. Most accidents are caused by some type of carelessness. In order to successfully prove legal responsibility, or liability, for an accident, however, the plaintiff must show that the defendant was indeed careless, or negligent, and that their carelessness contributed to causing the accident. If the responsible party was working when the accident occurred, that person’s employer may also share responsibility. Our experienced Riverside personal injury attorneys are skilled in identifying all liable parties in pursuit of maximum compensation for our clients. We are dedicated to obtaining maximum compensation for your injuries and helping you restore normalcy to your life.

Determining Personal Injury Liability In Riverside

Serious injuries can be overwhelming for anyone to handle and are even more overwhelming when they result in financial hardship. Accident victims are entitled to compensation for a variety of damages, including:

  • Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages
  • Long-term care
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium (spouse of the injured victim)
  • Punitive damages (in cases of malicious or reckless conduct)

One party does not have to be totally or solely at fault for that party to be liable at least in part for the accident. If the injured party was also careless, any resulting compensation may be reduced by the percentage that the court determines him or her to be liable. This is called comparative negligence. We know how to effectively advocate for our client’s interests in situations involving comparative negligence.
