We focus on these areas of personal injury law

The most important thing to do after a car or motorcycle accident is to get the medical attention you need immediately. If you do not need to go to the hospital right away, make sure that you seek medical attention as soon as you have symptoms so that a doctor can properly diagnose your injuries and get you proper medical treatment, if required.

Burn scars are a virtual certainty with third degree, or full thickness burns, and worse. Though superficial, second degree burns, or partial thickness burns, may also result in minimal scarring. The degree of scarring depends on the depth of the burn injury. For example, if a second degree burn was covered by clothing the effect on the patient could be minimal or could be exacerbated, depending on the material. Treatment for burn scars and injury is often quite painful and can last for weeks, months, or even years.

Sources have indicated that there are more bicycle riders in California than any other state. Unfortunately for bike riders who enjoy riding their bicycles around California, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that bicycle injuries are on the rise.

As bicycle riders attempt to share the road with other cyclists, motorcycles, cars, trucks, and buses, there is always the chance that an accident will happen, and unfortunately, bicycle accidents tend to result in serious and often permanent injuries.

The moments immediately following an accident can be hectic and confusing, but they are also the most important.

Each state has a statute of limitations that places a deadline on personal injury lawsuits filed in the state's civil court system. California's statute of limitations on personal injury cases is two years, which may be extended for children to age 20.

Every year children are injured in accidents, often through no fault of their own. If your child or baby has been injured in an accident or through negligence, as their parent or guardian you are allowed to make a personal injury claim for compensation for their injuries.

Children can be injured in much the same situations as adults. These can include:

It's sad but true: Most people will suffer a slip, trip, and fall accident at some point in their lives. Sadder yet: The accident likely won't even be their fault. Because slip, trip, and falls can happen anywhere—and to anybody—it's important to know what steps to take following an accident.

This is especially true when your fall isn't your fault. By law, buildings, homes, parking lots, and walkways must be maintained to ensure they can be safely traveled—a responsibility known as premises liability.
