Personal Injury Practice Areas
Plain-language guides to the most common injury cases — what the law actually says, what your case may be worth, and what to do in the first 72 hours after an accident. Pick a practice area to dive in, or use the case review on the right to talk to a lawyer.
Motor Vehicle Crashes
The largest single category of personal injury cases.
Car Accident
Standard auto crashes — rear-end, T-bone, head-on, hit-and-run, drunk drivers, uninsured motorists.
Truck Accident
18-wheeler, semi, and commercial truck cases. Federal $750K-$5M+ policies and FMCSA regulations.
Motorcycle Accident
Rider-vs-driver cases, lane-splitting law, and the comparative-fault playbook insurers use against riders.
Rideshare (Uber/Lyft)
Three coverage periods, $1M policies when on a ride, and the trip-log evidence that decides the case.
Bicycle Accident
Door-zone strikes, intersection cases, and how Vehicle Code § 21202 and CA’s 3-foot law affect liability.
Pedestrian Accident
Crosswalk strikes, hit-and-run UM coverage, and dangerous-roadway claims against public entities.
Premises & Property
When the danger was on someone else’s property.
Medical, Workplace & Death
High-stakes cases with specialized rules and short deadlines.
Medical Malpractice
Surgical errors, missed diagnoses, birth injuries, medication errors. CA’s 1-year-from-discovery clock and AB 35 caps.
Nursing Home Abuse
Bedsores, falls, malnutrition, neglect. CA Elder Abuse Act enhanced damages and attorney’s fees.
Workers’ Compensation
Comp + third-party. Why most injured workers have two cases, not one.
Construction Accident
OSHA Fatal Four, third-party defendants, and the comp + third-party combo for serious injuries.
Product Liability
Strict liability for defective products. Manufacturing defect, design defect, and failure-to-warn theories.
Boat Accident
Maritime law, the Jones Act, and the Limitation of Liability deadline that wipes out late filings.
Wrongful Death
CCP § 377.60 and the survival action. AB 35 changes, MICRA caps for medical cases, and 6-month public-entity notice.
Drugs, Devices & Toxic Exposures
Camp Lejeune, Roundup, talcum powder, hair relaxers, surgical mesh — when the same product hurts thousands of people, the cases consolidate. See if you qualify.
