Some Of The Personal Injury Cases Our Lawyers Handle

Personal injury law covers a broad range of incidents, from car accidents and dog bites to natural disasters like wildfires. These can lead to injuries that vary in severity, ranging from minor bruises to life-altering disabilities. In some cases, pursuing a personal injury claim may help you recover compensation for the losses you incurred after an accident.

Some examples of personal injury cases that our attorneys in Castro Valley handle include:

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are likely to cause long-term consequences that significantly affect a person’s quality of life. Victims may experience issues that affect their memory, concentration, and decision-making skills. Unfortunately, these consequences can make it challenging to maintain a career or perform basic tasks.

Research shows that TBIs can have lasting impacts on a person’s employment prospects and job stability. In a study, more than half of the participants with TBIs remained unemployed after three to four years. Only 34% were able to secure stable work following their injury.

If you’re unable to work due to the effects of a TBI, our brain injury lawyers can assess whether you’re eligible to seek compensation. We may be able to hold the at-fault party accountable for damages, such as lost income and reduced earning potential.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Damage to the spinal cord can take away sensations, functions, and some level of independence from the victim, depending on the severity and affected site. If it leads to paralysis, it can make everyday tasks, like getting dressed, eating, or simply moving about, more challenging.

Victims of spinal cord injuries may have to adjust to a new way of life and carry the financial costs of extensive medical treatments or home modifications. These injuries may also affect their family members, who may need to contribute financially or step in as caregivers.

If you have reason to believe that a negligent party caused the accident you were in, our spinal cord injury lawyers in Castro Valley can assess your case and see if you can file a claim to seek compensation for your losses.

Broken Bones

Fractures can vary greatly in terms of severity, ranging from minor cracks to complex breaks that require extensive medical intervention. Some cases can heal over time with a simple cast or splint, while others could require surgery to realign and stabilize the bone fragments. Regardless of the type of fracture, each case comes with its own set of challenges.

Victims with minor fractures, for example, may experience pain, limited mobility, and discomfort for weeks or months. Meanwhile, more severe breaks can lead to long-term complications, including nerve damage, reduced range of motion, or even permanent disability.

Consulting with our experienced personal injury lawyers in Castro Valley can help you navigate the recovery process for a broken bone. They can assess the costs of treating your injury, including your medical expenses and the suffering you have to endure.

Dog Bites

A playful nip or a serious bite from a dog can lead to nerve damage, infections, and scarring. In addition, the consequences go beyond the physical wounds. The emotional impact can be just as severe, often resulting in anxiety or a fear of dogs that can persist long after the incident.

Our dog bite lawyers are here to help you see whether you can hold the dog owner or another at-fault party accountable. If you have a case, filing a claim may help compensate you for the consequences of the dog bite, from your treatment costs to any psychological impacts you sustained.

Wildfire Injuries

Castro Valley faces a moderate risk of wildfires, potentially affecting around 81% of all properties within the area in the next 30 years. This means those living in Castro Valley may be impacted if the unexpected happens.

Wildfires indiscriminately destroy homes, businesses, and other types of property. To many, this may mean more than just losing a place to stay. Some victims might also grapple with the consequences of burns or respiratory damage due to smoke inhalation.

Arash Law understands that pain and confusion may follow such natural disasters. Our wildfire injury attorneys are here to guide you through this difficult time. We are committed to helping you learn more about the legal steps you can take to rebuild your life and regain a sense of stability.

Injuries From Motor Vehicle Accidents

Our Castro Valley personal injury attorneys also assist victims with whiplash, back injuries, soft tissue damage, head trauma, and other forms of physical trauma sustained in:

Car Accidents — Our car accident lawyers work to hold negligent drivers accountable for the harm they may have caused, such as if they disregarded the safety of other road users by not complying with existing traffic regulations.
Rideshare Accidents — Uber and Lyft accidents can bring complicated issues. Our attorneys leverage their knowledge of California rideshare laws when reviewing cases and pursuing valid claims for victims such as Uber or Lyft passengers, pedestrians, and more.
Truck Accidents — Our truck accident lawyers can assess the potential liability of trucking and delivery corporations that may be involved in a claim.
Bicycle Accidents — Cycling as a transportation option or fun activity can be beneficial, but it may make riders vulnerable to the actions of other negligent drivers on the road. Our Castro Valley personal injury attorneys can review your case to see if you may hold such drivers accountable for covering any damages you incurred.
Pedestrian Accidents — Pedestrian accidents are more likely to lead to injuries requiring extensive medical care. You can avail yourself of a free first consultation with our lawyers to learn about your legal rights as a pedestrian after an accident.

Other Personal Injury Cases

Accidents can happen anywhere in Castro Valley, and they’re not always limited to traffic crashes. Various types of personal injury cases may arise at work, in a public space, or in a private residence.

For example, workplaces have various hazards that could lead to an accident. Our workplace accident lawyers can assist with workers’ compensation claims or third-party liability for injuries, such as:

Crushed limbs caused by heavy machinery malfunctions.
Repetitive strain injuries from prolonged tasks like typing or lifting.
Ankle sprains or strains from tripping on raised flooring.

Slip-and-fall accidents are another common cause of injuries that can have life-altering impacts. These can potentially lead to serious injuries, including:

Broken hips after slipping on wet floors in grocery stores or restaurants.
Facial trauma due to tripping over uneven sidewalks.
Spinal injury caused by falling down the stairs at an apartment building.

Arash Law also has product liability lawyers who can help victims seek compensation for injuries caused by flawed or defective products. Situations that may lead to a product liability claim include:

Choking on the small parts of a children’s toy.
Internal injuries caused by defective airbags in vehicles.
Burns from electrical tools or appliances lacking proper safety warnings.

Many other situations could lead to a personal injury case. If you’re unsure whether you have a valid claim, our Castro Valley personal injury attorneys can assess your case in a no-cost initial discussion. Call (888) 488-1391 or fill out our “Do I Have A Case?” form to schedule one.

Wrongful Deaths

After losing a loved one, having to deal with legal procedures and negotiations may be the last thing on your mind. Our wrongful death lawyers can guide you as you figure out what to do next. They have experience dealing with insurance companies, handling complex processes, and filing paperwork.

When filing a valid wrongful death claim, the goal is to seek compensation for losses such as funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship. While no amount of money can bring back a life lost, taking this step might help ease some financial worries.

How To Prove Liability In A Personal Injury Claim

Liability determines who should be held financially responsible for the damages you incurred. In California, this responsibility falls on the individuals or entities that contributed to the accident that injured you. This can be established with different legal concepts, depending on the circumstances of the accident. Here are the most common sources of liability:

Negligence — In cases involving negligence, our Castro Valley personal injury attorneys must prove all four statements to be true:
- The other party owed a duty of care to prevent harming you.
- They failed to meet the standard of care expected of them in a given situation.
- Their action or inaction directly led to your injury.
- You suffered losses as a result, such as hospitalization fees and lost wages.
Negligence Per Se — This legal concept applies if the defendant breaks the law, and that violation leads to injury. There’s no need to prove that their action or inaction did not meet the standard according to their duty of care. The violation automatically establishes negligence.
Strict Liability — In certain cases, the defendant may be held strictly liable regardless of fault or negligence. Under certain conditions, strict liability may apply to dog bite incidents, product liability cases, and wildfires.
Vicarious Liability — Those who are not directly involved in the accident can also be held accountable if they have a legal responsibility over the at-fault party. This principle often applies to employers if their employees cause harm while carrying out their job duties.

Determining liability in personal injury cases may be more complex than it appears. Our Castro Valley personal injury attorneys can assist in investigating potentially responsible parties in a given accident and exploring different avenues to seek compensation.

Damages You Can Pursue In A Personal Injury Claim

A personal injury claim won’t undo the accident, but it may provide the means to help you cope with the financial burdens of your injury. Depending on your case, your claim may include:

Special Damages — These include measurable losses that can be calculated using actual expenses and financial records. Some examples of special or economic damages are medical expenses, doctor fees, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and property repairs or replacement.
General Damages — These reflect the more subjective, intangible impacts of your injury. General or non-economic damages aim to compensate for things like physical pain, emotional distress, loss of quality of life, and reduced ability to enjoy activities.
Exemplary Damages — Unlike the first two, exemplary or punitive damages don’t compensate for the victims’ losses. They serve as punishment to the wrongdoer and as a warning to others. These damages are very rare in California and only apply to cases involving especially harmful conduct.

The damages you may be entitled to depend on the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life, among other factors. Our Castro Valley personal injury attorneys can work to estimate the worth of your claim. Doing so may involve evaluating the available evidence, working with medical experts and economists, and gathering testimony to understand the full scope of your physical, emotional, and financial suffering. We are committed to helping you pursue an amount that reflects how an accident or injury has affected your life.

Steps To Take After A Personal Injury Accident

An accident can trigger a rapid chain of events that can be disorienting and difficult to keep up with. Take a moment to breathe, clear your mind, and approach the situation step by step. Focus on what’s important: protecting your safety and rights. Here are steps you can take after a personal injury accident:

Assess your condition and the situation. If there’s immediate danger, move to safety and call 911 for emergency help.
Report to the appropriate authorities, such as the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, the store manager, the landlord, or your supervisor, depending on the nature of the accident.
If you can safely move, collect photo and video evidence of any visible injuries, property damage, and the accident itself.
Note if there are any cameras or establishments with CCTVs that may have captured what happened.
Gather information from all involved parties and witnesses, if any.

Once you’re allowed to leave, consider doing the following:

Seek further medical attention, even if you feel fine. A comprehensive medical exam can uncover any injury that may not be showing obvious symptoms.
Avoid posting on social media. If you must tell your family or friends, you can do so privately.
Get legal assistance to explore your next steps. Our personal injury lawyers in Castro Valley can discuss your legal rights and options in a free initial meeting.

Questions People Frequently Ask Our Personal Injury Attorneys (FAQs)

How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Castro Valley Personal Injury Attorney?

With our contingency fee agreement, you don’t have to pay a dime up front to hire our personal injury lawyers. You don’t owe us any attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. You may have to pay some case-related costs regardless of the outcome. Our lawyers will explain them during your consultation so you know what to expect.

This payment model aims to make legal representation more accessible to personal injury victims. Call (888) 488-1391 to learn more about our no-win, no-fee agreement.

How Long Will It Take To Resolve My Claim?

There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline when it comes to personal injury claims. While our personal injury attorneys in Castro Valley work to get a fair outcome within the time limits set by California law, many factors can influence the duration of a case. Some examples include:

The severity of your injuries.
The complexity of the case.
The duration of the investigation process.
Any dispute or issue that may arise.
The willingness of other parties to cooperate.

We understand that time is critical, which is why our personal injury lawyers are committed to minimizing issues that could delay your case. However, some cases do take time, especially those that go to trial. While you don’t always have to go to court, it may be necessary if you can’t reach a satisfactory agreement with the other party.

Do I Need A Personal Injury Lawyer To File A Claim?

Technically, you don’t need to hire a lawyer to file a personal injury claim. However, handling the process on your own might not be ideal. A skilled lawyer has the knowledge required to handle potential legal challenges and issues, such as:

Complex laws that apply to your case.
Reduced offers from insurance companies.
Hidden liabilities and compensation opportunities.
Complicated insurance policies.

Arash Law’s Castro Valley personal injury attorneys know how to handle each step of a claim if and when such issues arise. By partnering with our lawyers, you can focus on your recovery while we take care of the legal complexities.

When Should I Take the Insurance Company’s Offer?

You can agree to a settlement offer if it adequately compensates you for all the harm you’ve suffered. The question is: how do you know if it’s enough? Consulting a Castro Valley attorney who is well-versed in personal injury cases can help.

Our personal injury lawyers at Arash Law, who have handled similar cases for clients in Castro Valley and in other parts of California, know how to evaluate all aspects of your case, when to work with experts to better understand your losses, and how to build a case that aims to prove the extent of your damages. In essence, you won’t always have to settle for an insurance company’s offer if there are more options available to you in terms of the compensation you may pursue.

When Is The Deadline For Filing A Personal Injury Lawsuit?

In Castro Valley, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to bring a case to court. If you don’t file within this timeframe, you may lose your right to seek compensation altogether. However, some situations could delay the deadline, such as:

Cases where the injury wasn’t immediately discovered.
Cases where the plaintiff was a minor, and the legal guardian did not pursue a claim.

To avoid losing the opportunity to file a valid claim, you can consult with our personal injury lawyers in Castro Valley. Their knowledge of California’s statute of limitations, which sets the deadlines and exceptions for filing personal injury cases, can help you understand if and how to take the legal steps available to you within the necessary timeframe.
