Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Hesperia

If you were injured due to someone else’s carelessness or misconduct, we can help. Our Hesperia personal injury lawyers have extensive experience in a wide variety of personal injury claims, including:

Car Accidents
Auto accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in San Bernardino County. Whether your crash involved distracted driving, excessive speeding, or a DUI, we will fight for the compensation you need to recover physically and financially.

Truck Accidents
Collisions involving commercial trucks often cause life-altering injuries. Our legal team investigates every angle—driver fatigue, improper maintenance, and company violations—to hold all responsible parties accountable.

Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are exposed to greater dangers on the road. If you were hit by a negligent driver while riding, we will work to recover damages for your injuries, bike repairs, and long-term medical care.

Slip and Fall Accidents
Injuries that occur due to unsafe conditions on private or public property fall under California’s premises liability laws. If you were hurt due to wet floors, poor lighting, or broken steps, you may be entitled to compensation.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
California holds pet owners strictly liable for injuries their animals cause. If a dog bit or attacked you or your child, you could recover damages for medical expenses, emotional trauma, and scarring.

Medical Malpractice
When a healthcare provider breaches the standard of care, patients can suffer serious harm. We handle cases involving misdiagnosis, birth injuries, surgical mistakes, and other forms of medical negligence.

Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is devastating, especially when it could have been prevented. We represent families pursuing wrongful death claims to seek justice and financial relief for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering.

Other Injury Claims
We also represent clients in cases involving pedestrian accidents, bicycle crashes, construction site injuries, product defects, nursing home abuse, and more.

Types of Damages Available in Hesperia Injury Claims

After an accident, the financial and emotional toll can be overwhelming. A successful personal injury claim can help you recover compensation for both tangible and intangible losses:

Economic Damages
These are measurable losses tied to the injury, including:

• Medical Bills: Emergency treatment, hospital stays, physical therapy, surgeries, and future medical expenses.
• Lost Income: Wages lost while recovering from the injury.
• Loss of Earning Capacity: Compensation for reduced ability to earn a living in the future.
• Property Damage: Costs to repair or replace your vehicle or personal property.

Non-Economic Damages
These damages address the emotional and psychological effects of your injuries, such as:

• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for chronic pain, mental anguish, and reduced quality of life.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If your injuries prevent you from doing activities you once enjoyed.
• Emotional Distress: Anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles stemming from the injury.
• Loss of Consortium: Damages for how the injury affects your relationship with your spouse or family.

Punitive Damages
In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct—such as drunk driving—California courts may award punitive damages. These serve to punish the at-fault party and deter similar conduct in the future.

California Personal Injury Laws You Should Know

Navigating California’s personal injury laws can be complex. Understanding your rights and obligations is essential to building a strong case.

Comparative Negligence Rule
California uses a pure comparative negligence standard (Civil Code § 1714). This means you can still recover damages even if you are partially at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 30% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 30%.

Statute of Limitations
You generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in California (California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). If the claim involves a government entity—such as a city-owned bus or public sidewalk—you must file a government claim within six months of the incident.

Caps on Damages

California does not cap most personal injury damages. However, medical malpractice claims are limited to $350,000 in non-economic damages under the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA), though recent changes under AB 35 have increased these limits for newer claims.

Conduct a Thorough Investigation

Gather essential evidence, such as accident reports, medical records, eyewitness statements, and video footage, to build a compelling case.
