Other Serious Personal Injuries

A serious injury can happen completely out of the blue and wreak havoc on your life. Whether that injury happens to you, your spouse, or your child, the result can be devastating in many different ways. If this has happened to you or someone you love, you may be entitled to financial compensation. At the San Jose personal injury law firm of Corsiglia McMahon & Allard, L.L.P., we are experienced in handling all types of legal cases involving serious injuries including:

• Animal Bite Injuries
• Assault Injuries
• Child Injuries
• Elder Abuse
• School & Day Care Accidents
• Many Others

We understand the personal and financial upheaval a family or individual can feel following a serious injury, and we strongly advocate for a just outcome for our clients.

The first priority following an accident that results in a serious injury is obtaining the necessary medical and rehabilitative treatment. The recovery process can be lengthy and costly, and may never be complete. Serious injuries often result in lifetime disabilities that can dramatically alter the trajectory of a life.

If someone else is responsible for the accident that caused your injuries or your loved one's injuries, he or she must be held accountable. Our firm strongly advocates for maximum compensation in every personal injury case we accept. In California, there are three types of damages awarded to accident victims. These include:

• Special Damages – Also known as economic damages, these are damages that can be quantified and documented such as medical and rehabilitative costs, loss of earnings, property damages, and long-term care costs.
• General Damages – These are intangible (non-economic) losses such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of companionship.
• Punitive Damages – These are damages intended to punish the defendant for gross negligence. These damages are typically reserved for extreme cases of malice or egregious conduct.
