Personal Injury

Personal injury victims are injured through the fault of another person or group. Personal injury cases involve harm caused by another person's negligent or wrongful act, and cover a broad spectrum of instances including car and motorcycle accidents and medical malpractice. Examples of personal injury include cuts, serious bruising, broken limbs, disfigurement, whiplash, and brain injury.

For most types of accidents, a person must be found negligent to be held legally responsible for another person's injuries. A person is considered negligent whenever he or she had an obligation to act carefully and failed to do so. Even if you may have been partially responsible for the accident, you still may be entitled to personal injury damages. Because there is no real formula for determining the percentage of your fault, some claim adjusters may not want to give you as much as you need or deserve. That is when it is important to have a representation from a personal injury attorney who can ensure you are not taken advantage of.

Deciding how much a personal injury is worth can be tricky. Personal injury can significantly affect a victim's physical ability or appearance for an extended period of time or even permanently. It is essential to seek representation from experienced personal injury attorneys who can ensure you receive the rights to which you are entitled. Personal injury compensation is mostly determined by how serious your injuries are, which is measured by medical bills, the type of injury, and recovery time. If you have been the victim of personal injury or wrongful death, contact the Law Offices of Thomas Anderson today. Our attorneys have experience assisting victims of product liability, construction accidents, and other personal injury cases in the Palm Springs and Riverside areas.

Construction Accidents

An area of personal injury in which workers and passerby can be seriously harmed is in a construction accident, and our attorneys in the Palm Springs area can hold the negligent party responsible. People who work at construction sites are at risk of injury every day. Construction zones are teeming with large, heavy equipment and high scaffoldings that pose a serious danger to workers. It is up to the site supervisor to ensure that appropriate safety precautions are taken, that workers are properly trained, and that equipment is safe and not defective. Because most states have strict worker's compensation laws that limit the amount of compensation you receive if you are involved in a construction accident, it is important to have attorneys that can ensure you receive the rights you are entitled to.

If you have been injured in a construction accident, our attorneys in the Palm Springs and Riverside areas can review your claim and determine whether you are eligible for damages.

Product Liability

Personal injury also covers product liability claims, and our attorneys in the Palm Springs area are experienced in this area of litigation and may be able to help you seek entitled compensation. Manufacturers have a responsibility to consumers to ensure their products are not defective and are safe for use. No matter what the product, manufacturers and store owners must make sure they are designed and made safely, that defective products are prevented from entering the market, and that full directions and warning labels are available and easy to understand. If a dangerous or defective product injures a consumer, the manufacturer, and sometimes the designer, distributor, or retailer, is considered legally liable, as long as the consumer was using the product as it was meant to be used when he or she was injured.

If you believe you have a product liability case, contact our attorneys in the Palm Springs area today for a case evaluation.

Wrongful Death

The loss of a loved one is one of life's most difficult experiences. But grief and anger are usually deepened when the death occurs because of another person's negligent or wrongful act. A drunk driver who kills an innocent driver, a defective product that kills a consumer, the building of an unstable structure-these are all examples of wrongful death cases.

In order to have a valid wrongful death case, you and your attorneys must prove that the death was caused by another person's wrongful act. It is also necessary to prove the life expectancy of the victim at the time of the accident, and the nature of the relationship between the victim and the family to support the wrongful death claim. Our attorneys in the Palm Springs and Riverside area have extensive experience in handling wrongful death lawsuits and can help you determine whether you are eligible for retribution.

In order to file a wrongful death suit, you must be the person who manages the affairs of the victim or a child, spouse, or parent. Wrongful death damages usually cover medical and funeral bills, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. In California, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is two years. If you have a product liability, construction accident, or another case that resulted in wrongful death, our attorneys assist victims in the Palm Springs and Riverside areas.

Contact The Law Offices of Thomas Anderson today. Our wrongful death attorneys will fight to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are injuries that have a long-term or permanent affect on a person's way of life and require considerable medical treatment. Catastrophic injuries include, but are not limited to, paralysis, severe burns, loss of a limb, loss of eyesight, or irreversible brain damage. Causes of catastrophic injuries range from car accidents to slip and fall to defective products. Because catastrophic injuries place a serious financial and emotional burden on victims and their families, damages are usually rewarded for medical care and pain and suffering. If you need representation in a catastrophic injury case, contact the Law Offices of Thomas Anderson today.

Brain Injury

According to statistics by the Brain Injury Association of America, 1.5 million Americans sustain a brain injury every year, and more than 50,000 people die each year as a result of brain injury. A brain injury can be devastating because it causes lasting and permanent disability. Whether it is a result of a construction accident or slip and fall, brain injury is traumatic and costly to the victim and his or her family. No two injuries are the same, and the effects of a brain injury depend on such factors as cause, location, and severity.

When a brain injury occurs, it can affect the way a person thinks, feels, and acts. Brain injury can also affect the way the body works, such as blood pressure, body temperature, and bladder control. Symptoms of brain injury include, but are not limited to, loss of consciousness, spinal fluid leaking out of the ears or nose, and dilated pupils. If you or a loved one is exhibiting any of these symptoms, you should seek medical assistance right away.

If brain injury is the result of a negligent or wrongful act, you may be entitled to damages. Compensation in brain injury cases usually covers past and future medical bills, lost earnings, life care costs, loss of employment, and pain and suffering. If you or a loved one has been the victim of brain injury that resulted from a car accident, construction accident, or another incident in the Palm Springs or Riverside areas, our attorneys want to help.
