When your future is on the line after a serious injury, choosing the right legal team matters. At Hanson & Mouri:
We accept personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no upfront fees and you only pay legal fees if you recover compensation.
If your injury occurred due to someone else’s careless or reckless behavior, we are here to help. Our Victorville personal injury lawyers have extensive experience with a wide range of cases, including:
Car Accidents
Auto collisions are a leading cause of injury in Victorville. Whether your crash involved texting and driving, running a red light, or impaired driving, we fight for maximum compensation for your medical bills, property damage, and more.
Collisions with commercial trucks on Interstate 15 or Route 395 can cause devastating injuries. We investigate issues like driver fatigue, equipment failure, and trucking company negligence to hold all responsible parties accountable.
Motorcyclists often suffer serious injuries in crashes caused by drivers who fail to yield or check blind spots.
Property owners must keep their premises safe. If you slipped on a wet floor, tripped on broken pavement, or were injured due to poor lighting or hazards, we help you file a premises liability claim.
Under California’s strict liability law, dog owners are responsible for injuries their pets cause—even if the dog has never bitten before.
When doctors or nurses fail to provide appropriate care, the consequences can be life-threatening. We represent clients harmed by surgical errors, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and more.
If a loved one’s life was lost due to negligence, we help families pursue wrongful death claims for funeral expenses, loss of support, and emotional suffering.
Other Injury Cases
We also handle claims involving pedestrian accidents, bicycle crashes, construction injuries, defective products, elder abuse in nursing homes, and more.
A successful personal injury claim can help you recover compensation for both financial losses and emotional harm. Damages may include:
Economic Damages
These are direct, measurable losses such as:
Non-Economic Damages
These damages address the emotional and psychological effects of an injury:
Punitive Damages
When the defendant acted with gross negligence or intentional harm—such as in drunk driving or abuse cases—California courts may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.
Pure Comparative Negligence
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule under Civil Code §1714(a). This means you can still recover damages even if you are partially at fault. However, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Example: If you are awarded $100,000 but are 20% at fault, you will receive $80,000.
Statute of Limitations
Under California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. For property damage claims, the deadline is three years.
If your claim involves a government agency (such as a city-owned vehicle or public sidewalk), you must file a government claim within six months under Government Code §911.2.
Damage Caps
California places no cap on most personal injury damages. However, non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases are capped at $350,000, with adjustments over time under the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA) and Assembly Bill 35.
Working with a skilled personal injury attorney significantly improves the likelihood of recovering full compensation. Here is how one can help:
Legal Guidance and Strategy
A Victorville Personal Injury attorney provides clear guidance by evaluating the case, explaining your legal rights, and outlining the most effective path toward a successful claim.
Thorough Investigation
A Victorville Personal Injury lawyer conducts a comprehensive investigation, collecting essential evidence such as accident reports, photographs, surveillance footage, medical records, and expert testimony to build a strong case.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies often attempt to reduce or deny valid claims. A Victorville Personal Injury attorney handles all communication and negotiations to secure a fair settlement.
Representation in Court
If a fair resolution cannot be reached through settlement, an attorney is fully prepared to present the case in court and advocate on the client’s behalf before a judge and jury.
Maximizing Compensation
An experienced lawyer ensures that both current and future damages are accurately calculated, helping to secure a settlement or verdict that reflects the full extent of your losses.
