Getting injured is expensive. A personal injury can cause you to miss work, have expensive medical bills, and sometimes even change the way you are able to live the rest of your life. When these injuries happen as a result of another party's negligence, it is important that you know what rights you have and what the other party owes you. Corsiglia McMahon & Allard, L.L.P. has the staff, experience, and relentless dedication required to successfully represent you for a personal injury lawsuit.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury caused by the actions or inaction of another, filing a lawsuit may be the only way to get the other party to accept responsibility and to get the justice you deserve.
The first step forward is to find a competent and aggressive attorney to represent you. At Corsiglia McMahon & Allard, L.L.P., our attorneys handle our clients' matters from filing cases to when judgments are determined. California law dictates that you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. The time frame in which California law will allow you to file a suit against a government entity is six months. It is imperative that you act quickly while the facts surrounding your case are fresh in your mind and before the evidence is lost.
What Happens if I am Partly Responsible for my Injury?Different states use their own models to determine who can collect in a civil lawsuit stemming from an injury. California is what is referred to as a "pure comparative negligence" state. This means that a plaintiff can collect any damages that a court did not find them liable for. An example would be getting injured in a car accident where a car backs out into the street from a driveway directly into your lane causing a collision. The defense argues that you were traveling a few miles above the posted speed limit. In a scenario like this you may be entitled to the damages caused by the negligent driver minus the courts judgement of liability against you which the court will convert to into a percentage.
Is my Case Going to be Settled or Taken to Trial?At Corsiglia McMahon & Allard, L.L.P., our only goal is to get you the best outcome in your case given the particular facts and evidence surrounding your case. The decision to pursue litigation or accept a settlement offer is entirely yours to make. Our lawyers will look at your case from every angle and apply over 20 years of experience to advise you on your options so that you can make an informed decision.
