Fighting for Compensation in Personal Injury Case

Though the law is in place to ensure that victims of personal injury get justice, it’s the sole responsibility of the plaintiff to file the case and prove liability against the other party. This is not always easy since, as in most cases, the plaintiff will be dealing with insurance companies whose only interest is to avoid as much liability as possible. That is why hiring a skilled personal injury lawyer to fight for you is crucial.

• The defendant owed you a duty of care
• The defendant breached this duty through their actions or inactions
• The breach of duty directly caused the accident that injured you 
• The injuries have caused you damages

How Comparative Negligence Affects Personal Injury Claims in California

California is a pure comparative negligence state. What this means is that victims of personal injury claims can get compensated even if they are partially to blame for the accident. For example, in a car accident where the plaintiff is 40% at fault, they can only get 60% of the compensation.
