Trip and Fall
Personal injuries can leave victims with physical, emotional, and financial damage that could last a lifetime. When an injury is sustained from another person’s negligent behavior, the victim usually ends up having to suffer the consequences and foot the bill. At Setareh Law, our Riverside personal injury lawyers find this unacceptable, and we are committed to seeking justice for personal injury victims across California.
Riverside is a growing city in Southern California, and with that growth has come more car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, slip and fall incidents, construction accidents, and other preventable injuries on its roads and properties. Whatever caused your injury, our Riverside personal injury lawyers can review the facts of your case, explain your options, and help you pursue the compensation you are owed. Se habla español.
Under California’s statute of limitations (CCP § 335.1), most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury, and claims against a government agency generally must be filed within six months. Waiting can cost you evidence, witnesses, and your right to recover compensation at all.
Personal injury law allows people who are hurt because of another party’s carelessness or wrongdoing to seek compensation for their losses. In Riverside, California, personal injury law covers a wide range of cases, including car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, slip and fall incidents, construction site accidents, product defects, and wrongful death.
A successful personal injury claim generally requires showing that the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries as a result. Victims can pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages once these elements are established.
After being injured, seeking medical attention should always be the first step, regardless of whether you believe you were seriously hurt. Injuries are not always easily detected right away, and a medical professional can identify problems that might otherwise go unnoticed until later.
Our Riverside personal injury lawyers represent people who were injured in a wide variety of negligent acts, including the following.
Collisions involving passenger vehicles, Uber and Lyft rides, and drunk or distracted drivers.
Big rig and delivery truck crashes that often cause catastrophic injuries.
Riders face a higher risk of severe injury when a driver fails to see them.
Injuries caused by hazardous conditions on someone else’s property.
Falls, equipment failures, and other jobsite injuries on Riverside job sites.
Cyclists sharing Riverside roads with vehicle traffic face a real risk of serious harm.
We also represent victims of dog bites, brain injuries, bus accidents, pedestrian accidents, and wrongful death claims. We handle each case differently because every accident is unique, and every client deserves a personalized approach.
Our Riverside personal injury lawyers investigate every claim thoroughly, gather the evidence needed to establish liability, and negotiate directly with insurance companies on your behalf so you can focus on recovering. We handle each step of the claims process while keeping you informed along the way.
In one recent motorcycle accident case, our team recovered $15,000,000 for a client who was seriously injured when a negligent driver failed to yield. Other results for our clients include a $2,100,000 recovery in an auto versus auto collision, a $1,000,000 recovery in an auto versus truck crash, and a $500,000 recovery in an uninsured motorist claim. Past results depend on the specific facts of each case and do not guarantee a similar outcome in any future case. You can review more of our firm’s case results for additional examples.
Our attorneys bring over 60 years of combined experience to Riverside personal injury claims, and you can learn more about our team on our firm profile page, including founding attorney Daniel Setareh.
As a personal injury victim in Riverside, California, you have several important rights designed to protect your interests and help you receive fair compensation. You have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
You also have the right to hire a personal injury attorney to represent you, negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf, and guide you through the legal process. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, you are entitled to have your case heard by a judge or jury.
Navigating a personal injury claim can be challenging, and mistakes can jeopardize your chances of receiving fair compensation. You do not have to go through the process alone, and our Riverside personal injury lawyers can help you avoid the errors that commonly hurt a claim.
Waiting to see a doctor can harm your health and weaken the medical evidence supporting your claim.
Skipping follow-up appointments gives insurers a reason to argue your injuries are not severe.
Adjusters may use your own words to undermine your claim, so speak with an attorney first.
Initial offers are often far less than what a claim is actually worth.
Insurers can and do use social media posts against claimants when evaluating a case.
To recover compensation, you generally must show that the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and directly caused your injuries and resulting damages. Our Riverside personal injury lawyers build this case by gathering photos and video from the accident scene, collecting witness statements, requesting police and incident reports, and, when needed, consulting accident reconstruction or medical experts.
California follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible for the accident, though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto injured victims for this reason, which is one more reason to have an attorney reviewing the evidence on your behalf.
In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident or injury. There are exceptions to this rule, such as claims involving minors, injuries that are not immediately apparent, and claims against a government entity, which generally must be filed within six months. It is important to consult a personal injury attorney in Riverside as soon as possible to make sure your claim is filed within the required timeframe.
Receiving compensation will not undo the harm caused by an accident, but it can relieve the financial burden that follows an injury. Depending on the facts of your case, a Riverside personal injury attorney may be able to help you recover compensation for the following losses.
| Category | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Medical Expenses | Past and future bills, hospitalization, surgery, and rehabilitation |
| Lost Wages | Past and future income lost while you recover |
| Property Damage | Repair or replacement of damaged vehicles or belongings |
| Pain And Suffering | Physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury |
| Wrongful Death Damages | Funeral costs and financial losses suffered by surviving family members |

In most California personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.

California follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible for what happened.
