Reasons To Consult Our Murrieta Personal Injury Attorneys

Arash Law has a team of attorneys experienced in handling claims across a wide range of accidents and practice areas. Here are a few reasons to consult our Murrieta personal injury attorneys about your case:

  • Zero Upfront Costs — Aside from offering free initial consultations to injured victims, our team works on a contingency fee basis. This means clients only pay attorney fees if they’re able to claim compensation. Before we begin working with them, we clarify other case-related costs that may still apply. This arrangement aims to make legal representation more accessible to victims with valid claims.
  • Negotiation Skills — We understand how insurers usually calculate settlement offers. That’s why we investigate accidents independently. Our findings help us study these offers and advise clients on how to respond to them. Our attorneys are also skilled negotiators who can discuss potential settlement amounts with insurance companies.
  • Access to a Network of Experts — We can work with subject-matter experts and accident reconstruction specialists to support the claims of our clients. We can also connect them with medical professionals if they require treatment while pursuing compensation.
  • Personalized Approach — We know every case is unique. That’s why we take the time to understand each client’s situation and develop a strategy tailored to their needs.

Despite the fact that most of our cases are resolved out of court, we prepare each case as if it were going to trial. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation.

Personal Injury Cases Our Lawyers Handle

Our attorneys have handled personal injury cases across a wide range of practice areas. As a result, you can consult with our Murrieta injury law firm about accidents related to the following:

Catastrophic Injury Cases

Accidents such as car crashes or truck collisions can lead to life-altering, catastrophic injuries. These injuries can affect nearly every aspect of your life, requiring months, years, or even a lifetime of rehabilitation and recovery. 

Traumatic brain injuries can lead to a range of challenges, from subtle changes in behavior and mood disorders to cognitive difficulties and memory loss. If you’ve sustained a brain injury, getting an accurate diagnosis and prompt medical care is crucial. Beyond treatment, it’s equally important to hold the responsible party accountable for the damages you’ve suffered.

Injuries to the neck, back, or spinal cord can drastically affect your quality of life. These injuries, often caused by motor vehicle accidents or slip-and-falls, may include:

  • Herniated, ruptured, or slipped discs.
  • Damage to connective tissues or nerves.
  • Whiplash.

The severity of these injuries often requires specialized medical treatments and long-term care, creating significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens.

Some accidents can cause traumatic amputations, where a limb is severed immediately during the incident. In other cases, surgical amputation may become necessary if a limb is deemed inoperable or life-threatening due to extensive tissue damage, infection, or other complications. An amputation can impact your physical abilities, emotional well-being, and financial stability. During this challenging time, getting both medical care and legal support can be essential.

Our Murrieta personal injury attorneys can help calculate your damages, including medical expenses and loss of earning capacity. Additionally, we can potentially negotiate for a settlement that aims to cover the costs of ongoing treatment and prosthetics.

Burn injuries are among the most painful injuries a person can endure. Victims often face extended recovery periods, requiring specialized treatments to minimize scarring and improve their quality of life. Burns can result from various incidents, including wildfires, but they are also common in work-related accidents, particularly in the following industries:

  • Chemical/industrial manufacturing
  • Food and beverage
  • Public safety (Fire department)
  • Utilities
  • Construction

Broken bones are a common injury resulting from accidents, especially motor vehicle collisions, slip-and-falls, and workplace incidents. They can range from simple breaks to severe compound fractures. For many victims, these injuries lead to significant medical expenses, time away from work, and emotional distress.

If you’ve suffered a fracture due to an accident, our Murrieta personal injury attorneys are here to help. We’ll work with you to calculate your damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and any long-term impacts on your ability to work or enjoy life.

Dog bites can cause a wide range of injuries, from cuts and bruises to deep wounds, infections, scarring, and even fractures. In severe cases, victims may suffer permanent deformities or reduced mobility. In California, dog owners are held mostly strictly liable for injuries caused by their pets. If you’ve been bitten by a dog in Murrieta, our personal injury attorneys can assist you in filing a claim.

Injuries From Motor Vehicle Accidents

According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, there were 424 victims of motor vehicle accidents in Murrieta in 2022. Injuries from motor vehicle crashes can range from minor cuts and bruises to catastrophic injuries.

Our Murrieta personal injury lawyers often handle the following types of motor vehicle collisions:

  • Car Accidents — Speeding, distracted driving, or drunk driving are the most common causes of this type of accident. Our car accident lawyers can help evaluate what caused the crash, identify all the liable parties, and pursue accountability for your damages.
  • Truck Collisions — Truck accidents can be particularly severe due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. When truck operators fail to exercise caution or violate federal safety regulations, the consequences can be catastrophic.
  • Bicycle Incidents — Bicyclists are some of the most vulnerable road users, as they lack the physical protection that vehicles provide. When a collision occurs, bicyclists are at a higher risk of serious injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and internal injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported 966 pedalcyclist fatalities in 2021, representing 2.2% of all traffic deaths.
  • Pedestrian Accidents — Pedestrians, like bicyclists, face significant risks on the road due to their lack of protection. Pedestrian accidents often result in severe physical injuries, requiring extensive medical care and long-term recovery.
  • Rideshare Incidents — Uber and Lyft accidents present unique legal challenges due to the involvement of multiple parties and complex insurance policies. Determining liability can be challenging, but our experienced attorneys are familiar with these cases and the relatively new rideshare laws that may apply to them.
Injuries In Premises Liability Cases

Property owners have a legal obligation to ensure the safety of their premises for guests and visitors. When they fail to meet this responsibility, serious accidents and injuries can occur, including:

Slip And Fall Injuries

The National Safety Council (NSC) reports that slip-and-falls are among the most common kinds of accidents in the United States. These incidents usually fall under premises liability, where property owners, landlords, and business owners are often responsible for keeping residential and commercial properties safe. If they allow dangerous conditions to persist on their property, they may face legal consequences.

Wildfire Injuries

Uncontrolled wildfires can cause severe burns, smoke inhalation injuries, and other complications, particularly for individuals with pre-existing health conditions. Medical care for wildfire-related injuries can be costly and may result in lasting physical, mental, and emotional effects.

If someone was responsible for the wildfire’s outbreak or spread, our Murrieta personal injury attorneys are here to help. We’ll work to seek compensation not only for your injuries but also for any property or business losses you’ve suffered.

Workplace Injury Cases

Injuries sustained from a workplace accident can have a great impact on one’s life. While some may result in minor injuries, others can cause severe, long-lasting damage or even permanent disability. Workers’ compensation insurance supports injured workers. Some people, however, may find it difficult to navigate the claims process. There are times when benefits are denied.

Our Murrieta personal injury lawyers can help you challenge a workers’ compensation denial. In some cases, we may also be able to pursue other avenues of compensation, such as third-party claims. If a negligent third party, like a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner, contributed to your workplace injury, we can help outline your next steps.

Construction Accident Injuries

Construction accidents are one of the leading causes of workplace injuries due to the inherently dangerous nature of the industry. Construction workers face numerous hazards daily, often working with heavy equipment, scaffolding, power tools, and other potentially dangerous materials. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1,092 fatal construction accidents occurred in 2022 alone, underscoring the significant risks associated with this line of work.

Common causes of construction site injuries include:

  • Slip, trip, and fall accidents
  • Chemical or toxin exposure
  • Falls from elevated surfaces
  • Electrocution and struck-by incidents
  • Equipment fire or explosion

Those who have sustained injuries working on construction sites may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Apart from your employer, you may also seek damages from a third party under California law, especially if they’re found to have partially contributed to your accident.

Chemical And Toxic Exposure Injuries

Chemical and toxic exposure injuries at work can lead to serious health issues. Common injuries include:

  • Respiratory illnesses
  • Skin irritation and burns
  • Chemical burns
  • Eye damage
  • Long-term diseases like cancer

Product Liability Injuries

If a defective product caused your injuries, you may have a valid product liability claim. Responsibility for unsafe products can lie with multiple parties, including product designers, manufacturers, distributors, and even packaging designers. Manufacturers may also be liable for failing to provide adequate safety warnings or for selling products that are not fit for their intended use.

Wrongful Death Cases

Family members may lose a loved one in a fatal personal injury accident. If you’ve experienced such a loss, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim and pursue compensation for medical, funeral, and burial costs. You may also be able to seek compensation for loss of financial support and companionship.

Although no amount of money can ever replace your loved one, pursuing a wrongful death claim can potentially provide financial stability and closure during this incredibly difficult time.

Proving Liability In Your Personal Injury Case

Establishing liability is one of the most critical aspects of a personal injury claim. The outcome of your case often depends on your ability to demonstrate who was at fault and how their actions caused your injuries. Different legal principles may apply depending on the specifics of your case. Our experienced Murrieta personal injury lawyers are here to help you navigate and understand the legal principles that may impact your claim.

Negligence

To establish negligence, you must demonstrate these four key elements:

  • Duty of Care — Did the at-fault party have a legal obligation not to cause harm by avoiding reckless behavior or practicing reasonable caution?
  • Breach of Duty — Did the at-fault party fail to fulfill this duty?
  • Causation — Did this violation of duty cause your accident and result in your injuries?
  • Damages — Did the accident result in injuries or costs that may require compensation?
Negligence Per Se

In some cases, liability may be established through the legal doctrine of negligence per se, which occurs when someone violates a law or regulation designed to protect others and that violation causes harm. Our Murrieta personal injury lawyers can look into your case to see if the at-fault party violated certain laws and if negligence per se applies to your situation.

Strict Liability

In strict liability cases, the at-fault party is liable even without intending harm or acting negligently. For example, a dog owner can be held liable for a dog bite, even if the dog has no history of aggressive behavior. A manufacturer can also be held strictly liable for injuries caused by a defective product, regardless of whether it acted negligently in the design or production of the product.

Vicarious Liability

Vicarious liability is a legal principle where one party is held responsible for the actions or inaction of another. Some examples are:

  • Parents or guardians are responsible for the reckless acts of their minor children.
  • Individuals or businesses are held liable for the actions of their agents.
  • Employers are held accountable for the acts of their employed personnel during working hours.
  • Individuals are accountable for a crime if they incite another person to commit one.

If a truck driver, for instance, causes an accident due to fatigue from exceeding legally permitted driving hours, the trucking company could be held liable for requiring or allowing the driver to work beyond safe limits.

Determining vicarious liability requires a thorough investigation of the facts. Our Murrieta personal injury lawyers can help examine the circumstances of your case, gather critical evidence, and identify all potentially liable parties to help you pursue compensation.

Types Of Compensation In Personal Injury Cases

If you sustained injuries because of someone else’s actions, you may be able to pursue economic and non-economic damages. Depending on the intricacies of your case, our Murrieta personal injury lawyers can consider the following when building a claim:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are tangible, measurable losses. Bills, invoices, receipts, bank records, and more can prove these damages. Some examples include:

  • Ongoing and Future Medical Costs — These include expenses in emergency care and hospital stays. Depending on the severity of your condition and your treatment plan, you may also seek compensation for surgery, physical therapy, or other necessary procedures recommended by your physician.
  • Lost Wages or Loss of Earning Capacity — If your injuries forced you to miss work, you may be able to pursue compensation for lost wages. For more severe cases involving permanent disability, you may also be entitled to seek damages for loss of earning capacity.
  • Property Damage — You may also seek compensation for lost or damaged property. For example, after a car accident, this can include the costs incurred for vehicle repairs or the replacement of a totaled vehicle. Similarly, if your home was damaged or destroyed in a wildfire caused by someone’s negligence, you can seek compensation to cover repair expenses or your home’s fair market value.
Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages represent intangible losses that don’t have a clear monetary value but significantly impact your quality of life. Although these losses are more challenging to quantify, they are no less important. Common types of non-economic damages include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of companionship
  • Emotional distress
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Disability or disfigurement

We know that while financial losses matter, your emotional pain is also an important factor in evaluating the overall impact of your injuries. Our Murrieta personal injury attorneys can collaborate with experts and professionals to assess the extent of these losses and help you pursue compensation that addresses the emotional toll you have suffered.

Punitive Damages

California courts may also award punitive damages in rare cases involving gross negligence or intent to harm. Unlike compensatory damages, punitive damages are not intended to reimburse the victim for their losses but to punish the at-fault party for their acts and to discourage similar behavior.

Steps To Take After Being Injured In An Accident

After an accident in Murrieta, taking certain actions may help protect your well-being and future ability to file a claim. For example:

  1. Call 911 — Ask for emergency assistance and inform the dispatcher about the nature of your accident. Be sure to provide key information, such as the number of injured individuals or any potential hazards.
  2. Move to Safety — Preventing additional accidents is crucial, especially if you are on the road. The same is true when hazardous chemicals or damaged structures are involved, as these conditions pose significant risks to everyone nearby.
  3. Get Immediate Medical Help — In addition to the initial assessment by paramedics, it is essential to undergo a thorough evaluation by a doctor. Early detection of underlying injuries prevents long-term complications.
  4. Gather Important Pieces of Evidence — Document the scene by taking photos or videos, including your injuries. You should also obtain the contact details of the parties and witnesses involved.
  5. Consult Personal Injury Lawyers — In some accident cases, insurance companies may immediately reach out to victims to settle. When this happens to you, you can ask a personal injury lawyer to study whether the offer is fair. Call us at (888) 488-1391 for a free case review.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Murrieta, as in the rest of California, is generally two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, the court will likely reject your case, barring you from pursuing compensation. However, there are exceptions. For instance, if you discovered your injuries at a later date, the statute of limitations may begin from the date of discovery rather than the date of the accident.

Because personal injury cases are time-sensitive, it’s crucial to act quickly. Consulting our Murrieta personal injury lawyers can help you figure out which deadline applies to your case.

The value of a personal injury claim varies depending on the specifics of your case. The severity of your injuries and the extent of your losses typically influence how much your claim is worth. Our Murrieta personal injury attorneys can evaluate your case to identify all potential damages and provide an estimate of its potential worth. If you’re unsure whether you have a valid claim, fill out our “Do I Have A Case?” form.

The timeline for a personal injury lawsuit depends on the complexity of your case. On average, it may take a year or longer before a case proceeds to trial due to pre-trial processes such as arbitration, mediation, and jury selection. However, most personal injury claims are resolved outside of court through settlement negotiations. Our Murrieta personal injury lawyers can help you understand whether filing a lawsuit or pursuing a settlement is the right path for your situation.
