Common Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our firm represents clients across Redding and the surrounding communities, including Anderson, Cottonwood, Shasta Lake, Palo Cedro, and Red Bluff. Below are some of the most common types of cases we see in the region.
Car Accidents
Redding’s busy roadways such as Interstate 5, Highway 44, and North Market Street, see a lot of frequent collisions caused by distracted or impaired drivers. As such auto accident claims like rear-end crashes, T-bone collisions, and multi-vehicle pileups are some of the most common and a skilled personal injury attorney can help you pursue the compensation for your medical bills and lost income.
Truck Accidents
Because Redding sits along major freight routes between Oregon and Central California, heavy truck traffic poses serious risks. Due to the nature of trucking accidents, they can potentially cause significant and catastrophic damage that can impact a life for the worse. Whether it is an 18-wheeler accident or commercial vehicle crashes, our attorneys work with accident reconstruction experts to prove liability.
Motorcycle Accidents
Scenic routes like Placer Street and Eureka Way attract motorcyclists, but careless drivers often fail to share the road. If a negligent driver caused your crash, we’ll work to recover compensation for your injuries, bike repairs, and long-term care.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners in Redding, whether it’s a local business in the Mt. Shasta Mall, a restaurant on Market Street, or an apartment complex near Lake Boulevard must maintain safe premises. If not, they can be held for any injuries that has occurred on their property. As such, if you have been injured by wet floors, uneven sidewalks, poor lighting, and other hazards, contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Dog Bites
California’s strict liability law (Civ Code 3341) means dog owners are responsible for bites, even if the dog has never shown aggression before. Whether the attack happened in a Redding park like Caldwell Park or in a private residence, our team will help you pursue damages for medical treatment, scarring, and emotional trauma.
Workplace Injuries
From industrial worksites to retail stores, Redding workers face daily risks and in the event of an accident, it is crucial that they properly get the care and compensation they rightfully deserve. We handle workers’ compensation claims and third-party personal injury lawsuits for those injured due to unsafe conditions, defective machinery, or negligent contractors.
Wrongful Death
If you’ve lost a loved one because of another person’s negligence, our firm will fight to hold the responsible party accountable. While there is no amount that can replace a human life, we’ll pursue compensation for funeral costs, loss of income, and the immeasurable loss of companionship.
How Long Do You Have to File a Claim
Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, for claims that involve government entities, accident victims will only have 6 months to file a claim as per California Government Code 911.2.
Considering how Redding injury cases often involve complex factors, such as multiple drivers, out-of-state trucking companies, or city-maintained roads, it’s important to speak with an attorney immediately. Our team will determine the correct filing deadline and preserve critical evidence such as surveillance footage and accident reports from the Redding Police Department.
What Damages You Can Recover
A successful personal injury claim can help you recover both economic and non-economic damages, and this includes a variety of costs such as:
- Medical expenses like emergency care, follow-up treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and medication
- Lost wages and diminished earning potential if you’re unable to return to work
- Property damage, such as vehicle repairs or replacement
- Pain and suffering from physical and emotional trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life and mental anguish
- Punitive damages, in cases of extreme negligence or recklessness
If the accident led to a wrongful death, surviving family members may also seek damages for funeral costs, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship. Our lawyers carefully evaluate each client’s case to ensure every possible form of compensation is pursued.
How Much Does a Redding Personal Injury Lawyer Charge
To many people’s surprise, a Redding personal injury lawyer is more affordable than one would have imagined, because many lawyers operate under a contingency fee system. This means, the lawyer would not collect any legal fees until they win their client’s case. Should their lawyer lose their claim, the accident victim would not pay anything.
However, if their lawyer wins their case or manages to receive an acceptable settlement offer, the accident victim would only have to pay a flat fee for their services. While the fee can be discussed and negotiated during the consultation, this ensures every accident victim in Redding has access to quality legal representation.
