Typical Injuries Sustained In Personal Injury Accidents
Accidents remain a leading cause of preventable injuries for many Californians each year. While some victims recover, others face lifelong impairments. Our personal injury lawyers in Calaveras County and across California have seen the significant pain and suffering these accidents cause. Common injuries we help clients recover compensation for include:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
Brain injuries are catastrophic because damage to the brain can affect one’s personality, relationships, and ability to function, often permanently. TBIs can happen to everyone, but some groups are more likely to die or suffer long-term health issues. TBIs account for 30% of injury deaths in the U.S., with 69,000 Americans dying in 2021, translating to 190 deaths per day.
Brain injury symptoms can appear immediately after an accident or remain hidden for days. These injuries often lead to life-altering physical, emotional, and cognitive impairments.
- Memory loss
- Seizures
- Irritability or mood swings
- Depression and other psychological problems
- Slurred speech
- Coordination issues
If you or a loved one suffered a TBI, you should act quickly. Call (888) 488-1391 for a free consultation with our experienced personal injury attorneys in Calaveras County.
Spinal Cord Injuries (SCIs)
Spinal cord injuries can cause paralysis and long-term disability, leading to significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges due to lost motor function and independence. SCIs affect between 249,000 and 363,000 Americans, with 17,730 new injuries each year, almost half of whom are aged 16-30. About 80% of new SCI patients are men, and 42,000 are veterans.
Each person with a spinal cord injury is affected differently. The following are common symptoms to look out for:
- Issues with coordination or loss of motor functions.
- Numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the extremities.
- Pain or weakness in the neck, head, or back.
- Partial or complete paralysis of the whole body or some parts of it.
Whiplash
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck caused by a sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement of the head. It affects the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves, resulting in pain and stiffness. The primary cause is car accidents, particularly rear-end collisions, but it can also occur from sports injuries, slip-and-falls, or physical assault.
Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these symptoms, as it may signal significant damage to the neck’s soft tissues:
- Neck pain and stiffness.
- Decreased range of motion in the neck.
- Headaches, nausea, or blurred vision.
- Tingling sensation or numbness in the arms.
Our personal injury attorneys in Calaveras can gather medical records, accident reports, expert opinions, and witness statements to build an ironclad case. We’ll help you determine the cause of your injuries and hold all the responsible parties accountable.
Bone Fractures
Broken bones often occur after accidents, varying from hairline cracks to complete breaks. Symptoms include swelling and tenderness, which can last a long time. Fractures differ in severity, with minor ones causing temporary discomfort and severe ones requiring surgery and extensive rehabilitation. Complications can arise, such as skin lacerations, internal bleeding, and damage to nerves or tissues, leading to decreased mobility. Treatments typically involve casting, surgery, and physical therapy, with rehabilitation potentially taking weeks or months.
Burn Injuries
Burn injuries are highly painful and distressing, significantly impacting survivors’ mental health. In 2021, the CDC reported 398,000 fire or burn-related injuries. The medical community classifies burns according to their severity:
- First-degree burns — Superficial skin injuries.
- Second-degree burns — Bright red, swollen skin with blisters, causing severe pain.
- Third-degree burns — Damage extends through all skin layers, affecting hair follicles and sweat glands.
In addition, burns are categorized by size:
- Minor burns — Less than three inches wide.
- Partial-thickness burns — Over three inches wide.
- Full-thickness burns — Affecting deeper tissue layers.
If your burn injury resulted from someone else’s negligence, our experienced personal injury lawyers in Calaveras can help you seek compensation for medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries affect tendons, ligaments, and muscles, often caused by abrupt motion or impact. Common types include:
- Strains — Injuries to muscles or tendons.
- Sprains — Tears or overstretched ligaments, leading to long-term discomfort if untreated.
- Contusions (bruises) — Result from direct impact, causing swelling, soreness, and discoloration, though typically less painful than sprains or strains.
Tendon damage can lead to significant long-term problems and may require extensive treatment. Soft tissue injuries can result in chronic pain and reduced mobility if not addressed. Insurance companies may underestimate these injuries, risking fair compensation. Our Calaveras personal injury lawyers can help document the impact of these injuries on your life.
Internal Injuries
Accidents can damage critical internal organs, even with protections like skin and bones. Such injuries may not be obvious and can lead to serious complications or death if untreated.
Following an accident, injured victims may sustain the following internal injuries:
- Lacerations to the liver.
- Ruptured spleen.
- Damage to the kidney.
- Injuries to the abdomen and pelvic area.
- Punctured lungs due to damage to the ribs.
Common symptoms potentially signifying an internal organ injury may include:
- Bruising
- Blood in the urine
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Difficulty thinking
- Difficulty hearing
Loss Of Eyesight
Whether it impedes or destroys vision, an injury to the eye can be severe and lifelong. Serious eye injuries not only cause pain and psychological trauma but also affect your daily life, including your ability to work. Eye injuries can lead to blindness, blurred vision, or permanent eye damage. Because the eyes are extremely delicate, many injuries result in irreversible damage.
Scarring And Disfigurement
Injuries that disfigure visible body parts can significantly impact psychological health and perceptions from others. Long-term effects may include nerve damage, chronic pain, and the need for surgeries and rehabilitation.
Our Calaveras County personal injury attorneys specialize in these cases, collaborating with your doctor to assess the injury’s impact on your life and calculate appropriate compensation that reflects your true costs.

Common Cases That Our Personal Injury Lawyers Handle
We have successfully represented thousands of injury victims, securing millions in compensation for those harmed by negligence, recklessness, or wrongdoing. From motor vehicle accidents to catastrophic injuries, our skilled attorneys in Calaveras have the expertise, resources, and determination to handle even the most complex personal injury cases.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Traffic accidents are so common that they account for a big portion of the cases we manage. Some accidents are relatively minor, such as fender-benders, but devastating crashes, usually involving large vehicles, cause significant damage. These are some of the motor vehicle accident cases our Calaveras County personal injury lawyers handle:
Car Accidents
Despite advancements in automotive safety, car accidents continue to result in significant injuries and fatalities in the U.S., largely due to driver errors such as speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, and reckless behavior.
Many victims may not immediately feel pain due to adrenaline. Still, they should seek medical assistance promptly to assess potential injuries, including whiplash, brain and spine injuries, fractures, amputations, blunt force trauma, and chest injuries.
If you have experienced injuries in a collision caused by another’s negligence, our respected car accident lawyers can connect you with top medical professionals. We thoroughly evaluate your injuries and their long-term implications to assess the value of your claim accurately.
Truck Accidents
Large commercial trucking companies like FedEx, UPS, Estes Express Lines, and USPS operate in the Calaveras region. They are involved in serious truck accidents that can lead to significant injuries and financial hardship. Stricter trucking laws and a focus on safety are essential to prevent these incidents.
Our personal injury lawyers in Calaveras often witness the devastating effects of truck accidents, which can result in:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Traumatic amputations
- Crush injuries
- Severe burns
- Internal organ damage
Often, these accidents are not solely the driver’s fault, as trucking companies may neglect routine maintenance, violating safety laws. If you or a loved one has been affected, contact us to advocate for your rights and manage communications with trucking and insurance companies.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle collisions are particularly dangerous, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities due to the lack of protective measures. Victims can suffer from head and brain injuries, neck and back injuries, bone fractures, road rash, and amputations. In Calaveras County, 44 individuals were injured or killed in motorcycle accidents, primarily due to right-of-way violations, improper left-hand turns, lane splitting, distracted driving, and unsafe lane changes. If someone else caused your accident, you may be eligible for compensation. Our personal injury lawyers dedicate themselves to protecting your rights and winning your motorcycle accident claim.
Pedestrian Accidents
California is unsafe for pedestrians, leading the nation with 498 pedestrian deaths in the first half of 2023. In Calaveras County, there were nine pedestrian fatalities and injuries in 2022. Our Calaveras personal injury lawyers have successfully helped victims of serious injuries, including broken bones and brain injuries.
Tragic pedestrian accidents can lead to extensive losses. Insurance companies may pressure you for recorded statements or search your social media. Important evidence, like surveillance footage, could be deleted. Our pedestrian injury lawyers will guide you, help you stay ahead of insurers, and help you avoid mistakes that could jeopardize your claim.
Bicycle Accidents
Careless driving puts vulnerable road users, especially cyclists, at high risk during accidents. Even with helmets and quick reflexes, cyclists often sustain serious injuries due to unsafe road conditions, distracted drivers, and disrespect for their rights. These accidents can lead to long-term impairments from catastrophic injuries like brain and spinal cord damage and, sadly, can also result in fatalities.
Rideshare Accidents
Uber and Lyft have changed transportation by offering smartphone-based rides. Despite providing convenience, ridesharing services increase the risk of accidents and injuries. In fact, the rise of ridesharing led to a 3% annual increase in fatalities, which translates to 987 deaths every year.
Injuries that victims of rideshare accidents tend to sustain can range from minor bruising and whiplash to serious trauma and death. Negligent driving, road conditions, and other factors might cause these accidents.
Unlike the average car accident, rideshare crashes involve multiple parties, including drivers, passengers, ridesharing companies, and various insurance providers. Our Calaveras attorneys for Uber collisions and Lyft accidents have the experience to identify who’s to blame, determine which insurance policy applies, and protect your rights.
Premises Liability
Exposure to hazardous substances in some defective products, such as asbestos, pesticides, and contaminated consumer goods, has been linked to long-term health risks, including cancer. Furthermore, property and business owners have a legal duty to inspect, maintain, and address hazards on their premises to ensure the safety of visitors. Homeowners have slightly different duties than business or property owners. The bottom line is that if they breached their responsibility and it led to your injuries, you may be entitled to bring a personal injury claim against them.
Here are some of the most common premises liability cases that our personal injury attorneys in Calaveras have handled:
Trip, Slip And Fall Incidents
Imagine enjoying a meal with your family when you slip on a spilled drink that wasn’t cleaned up, with no warning signs in sight. Slips, trips, and falls can lead to serious injuries, often due to unmarked slippery floors, uneven surfaces, unsafe stairs, icy walkways, poor lighting, or cluttered areas.
Such accidents can result in broken bones, brain trauma, sprains, and costly medical treatment, along with the stress of being unable to work. If a property owner’s negligence caused your fall, you may have a premises liability claim. Our personal injury lawyers in Calaveras can help you navigate the legal process while you focus on recovery.
Escalator And Elevator Accidents
Elevator and escalator malfunctions can result in serious injuries, such as sprains, brain or spinal cord injuries, and even amputations. Common causes of escalator injuries include falls, clothing caught in mechanisms, and mechanical defects. Elevator injuries often stem from misaligned stopping points, mechanical issues, or getting caught in closing doors.
Victims of these accidents shouldn’t have to face medical bills or lost income alone. Our personal injury attorneys in Calaveras have extensive experience with premises liability cases and can guide you on the best course of action following an elevator or escalator accident.
Dog Bites
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that one in five dog bite victims requires medical care. A lot of these victims are children. Dog bites and attacks can cause infection and disfigurement and are most common on private property. Thus, if their dog bites or attacks a guest, the owner is accountable. Other reasons why dog owners may be held liable include the following:
- Failing to train the dog.
- Failing to fence the dog.
- Failing to leash the dog, especially in public places.
California applies strict liability for dog bite cases. Even if their pet has never been aggressive, a dog owner is automatically accountable for the damage inflicted by their pet. Our personal injury attorneys in Calaveras will help you understand your rights and get compensation for a dog bite claim.
Product Liability
After a record low in 2020, consumer product injuries increased 6.8% in 2021, 7.8% in 2022, and 0.6% in 2023. In 2023, over 12.7 million people were treated for these injuries, primarily involving everyday products, affecting vulnerable populations like older individuals and children.
Common injuries from defective products include chemical burns, eye injuries, and deep lacerations due to malfunctioning appliances or toxic exposure. While the Consumer Products Safety Commission requires manufacturers to report defects, many unsafe products still reach the market. Even well-made products can be harmful without proper warnings or instructions.
Victims can file a product liability claim against manufacturers, designers, and sellers prioritizing profits over safety. Contact our personal injury attorneys in Calaveras to discuss your potential lawsuit. As a consumer, you expect the products you purchase to be safe, and you deserve financial compensation for any damages incurred.
Wildfires
Wildfires cause devastating injuries, illnesses, and property damage. Extreme heat can lead to permanent damage to the eyes, throat, and ears, while burn injuries may result in disfigurement and psychological trauma. Severe smoke inhalation can lead to respiratory issues, chronic illness, and even cancer. Notably, many wildfires result from negligence, such as improperly extinguished campfires or faulty power lines. Victims may be entitled to compensation for damages and injuries. Our skilled personal injury attorney in Calaveras is here to help you seek justice and rebuild your life. Contact us today for a consultation.
Wrongful Death
A loved one’s death is one of the hardest things someone can face. It’s even harder to accept when it’s due to someone else’s negligence. Our Calaveras personal injury lawyers understand too well the emotional toll of such a tragic loss. That is why we are committed to fighting for the families of the deceased victims.
No amount of money can compensate for the loss, but a wrongful death lawsuit can help surviving family members move forward. When a victim dies due to someone else’s wrongful conduct, their survivors incur economic and non-economic damages in addition to the grief of losing a loved one, which can be crippling. Our personal injury lawyers in Calaveras can help them quantify and recoup their losses.
Steps That Personal Injury Lawyers Recommend You Take After An Accident
After an accident, knowing how to react is crucial for your well-being and legal rights. Here are some recommendations on what you can do:
- Prioritize Safety — Stay calm, move to a safe area, and call 911 for medical help and police assistance.
- Get Medical Help — Even if you feel fine, allow first responders to examine you; seek follow-up care to document injuries for claims.
- Report The Accident — Inform authorities about the incident. For car crashes, contact the police for an official report. Report workplace injuries to your employer.
- Document The Accident — Exchange insurance info, photograph the scene and injuries, and gather witness contact details.
- Avoid Admitting Fault — Don’t say “sorry,” as it could harm your claim.
- Notify Your Insurer — Provide basic details only.
- Record Your Story — Keep a journal of the incident and its impact.
- Get Legal Counsel — Call Arash Law at (888) 488-1391 for assistance in reaching a fair settlement.

How To Prove Liability In A Personal Injury Case
Proving liability requires strong evidence, including witness statements, medical records, expert testimony, and accident reports. Our personal injury lawyers in Calaveras can help you determine the legal standard that applies to your case, as different types of personal injury claims require different approaches.
Negligence
Negligence is when a person fails to take reasonable care to avoid harming others or doing something a reasonable person would not do in a similar situation. Our Calaveras personal injury lawyers can help you establish the following elements of negligence:
- Duty of Care — Everyone must take precautions to prevent harming others. Some situations require a higher duty. Medical malpractice trials hold surgeons to a higher standard. This means they must be as competent as other surgeons.
- Breach of Duty — Breaching one’s duty means not acting with the required standard of care. Speeding drivers aren’t being careful since they’re not taking enough precautions to avoid injuring others.
- Causation — The defendant’s negligence must have directly caused your injuries.
- Damages — Finally, the accident must have caused you actual harm. Damages typically include medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income during recovery, and diminished future earning ability.
Strict Liability
Under “strict liability,” a defendant can be found accountable for an accident or injury even if there was no negligence. For instance, in dog bite cases, the dog owner is automatically liable, provided that the victim was bitten in a public place or a private location where they were permitted to be. Meanwhile, product manufacturers are strictly liable for defective products.
Vicarious Liability
Under vicarious liability, one party can be held responsible for the wrongful actions of another. This principle commonly applies to employer-employee relationships, where an employer can be liable for their employee’s misconduct if it occurs within the scope of their job. Other common examples of vicarious liability include:
- Parents or guardians may be liable for their children’s negligent actions.
- A business can be liable for injuries caused by its agent.
- An individual may be liable for any crime they encourage another person to commit.
Intentional Torts
While most personal injury cases involve negligence, some involve intentional misconduct, known as intentional torts. Unlike negligence, which results from carelessness, intentional torts occur when someone deliberately causes harm. Common intentional tort cases include the following:
- Assault, including sexual assault and battery.
- Intentional infliction of emotional distress.
- False imprisonment.
Negligence Per Se
Negligence per se is a legal doctrine that presumes a defendant is negligent if they violated a law designed to protect public safety. A speeding driver, for example, crashes into another car, breaking the victim’s leg. Because the driver violated the law, they are presumed negligent.
Compensatory Damages You Can Recover In A Personal Injury Claim
Personal injury claims allow accident victims to recover compensatory damages, which aim to make the plaintiff financially “whole” again. To pursue the full compensation possible, our personal injury lawyers in Calaveras County will put a monetary value on the losses you suffered.
Compensatory damages cover both the victim’s financial losses, known as economic damages, as well as the effects of the injuries on their life, referred to as non-economic damages. The most common damages that our Calaveras personal injury lawyers can help you recover include:
- Current and future medical expenses.
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
- Repair and replacement costs of damaged property.
- Pain and suffering.
- Loss of consortium or companionship.
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
The court also awards punitive damages, but only in rare cases where the defendant’s action is considered to be extremely malicious or deliberate. Instead of making the plaintiff “whole” again, punitive damages aim to punish the defendant and discourage similar conduct in the future.
Deadlines In Filing Personal Injury And Other Types Of Lawsuits In California
In personal injury cases, the “statute of limitations” specifies the deadline for filing a lawsuit. The injured person, claimant, or plaintiff loses the right to obtain damages if a case is not brought before the time limit expires. These deadlines are:
- Personal Injury — Two years from the date of the accident or discovery of the injury.
- Wrongful Death — Two years from the date of the victim’s death.
- Product Liability — Two years from the date of the underlying incident.
- Property Damage — Three years from the date of the incident.
Consult with skilled personal injury lawyers as soon as possible after you have sustained injuries in an accident in Calaveras County or anywhere in California. You should focus on your recovery. Let our lawyers handle your claim to ensure it gets filed on time.
Questions Victims Frequently Ask Our Personal Injury Attorneys In Calaveras (FAQs)
After an accident, injured victims often have many questions about their legal rights, insurance claims, and what steps to take next. Our personal injury lawyers in Calaveras are here to provide clear answers and expert guidance.
How Much Do Personal Injury Attorneys Charge?
At Arash Law, we believe that injury victims should have access to top-tier legal representation without worrying about upfront costs. That’s why our Calaveras County personal injury attorneys offer free, no-obligation consultations, where we’ll answer your questions and explain your legal rights without any pressure to hire us. Furthermore, our contingency fee arrangement means you won’t pay us until we win. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
Will My Personal Injury Case Go To Court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court, as insurance companies prefer to avoid the time and cost of litigation. However, if an insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement, going to trial may be necessary to recover the full compensation you deserve. Choosing an attorney with trial experience is crucial. Some personal injury lawyers lack courtroom experience, which can result in poor case outcomes.
If a trial becomes necessary, our seasoned injury lawyers in Calaveras have years of courtroom experience and are fully prepared to fight for you in and out of court.
How Are Personal Injury Settlements Paid Out In California?
In California, the payout of personal injury settlements is typically in one of the following ways:
- Lump-Sum Payments — The full settlement amount gets paid at once.
- Structured Settlements — Payments get paid over time in scheduled installments.
- Combination of Both — An upfront lump sum followed by structured payments.
Our Calaveras personal injury attorneys can help you understand your options and ensure that your settlement agreement is in your best interest. Schedule a free consultation today to learn more.
How Long Does It Take To Settle My Personal Injury Case?
The duration to resolve a personal injury case in California varies based on injury severity, case complexity, and negotiations. While most claims settle before trial, serious injury claims or those with ambiguous liability tend to take longer. Having our Calaveras personal injury lawyers can help ensure insurance adjusters treat you fairly.
Should I Accept The Insurance Company’s Initial Settlement Offer?
Insurance companies often make lowball offers to pressure victims into accepting settlements that undervalue their losses. For this reason, never accept their initial offer without consulting trusted personal injury attorneys in Calaveras. Hiring an attorney can increase your chances of getting the maximum compensation possible. Also, you will likely have future needs as a result of the injury. You give away the right to ask them for extra money if you settle, so make sure you get what you deserve.
