Accident attorneys specialize in helping people obtain compensation for physical and/or emotional injuries. Personal injury claims are brought against wrongdoers — people, corporations, governmental entities and others — who have, as a result of their negligence or intentional wrongdoing, caused injury and damage to others. The types of cases that arise under California personal injury law include, but are not limited to, catastrophic injuries resulting from serious motor vehicle collisions including bus and truck crashes, recreational activities including boating accidents, medical malpractice, elder abuse and products liability.
