Anyone who suffers injury because of another’s negligent, reckless, intentional, or criminal behavior may have a claim for personal injury and be owed compensation by the wrongdoer. Injury is defined broadly, so that means any:

• Physical
• Mental
• Emotional
• Financial

injuries caused due to another party’s wrongful behavior may make them liable for damages in a personal injury lawsuit. In Tarzana, it’s common to see personal injury lawsuits arise from - and compensation be awarded for - situations including:

• Slip and falls

To learn if the situation that caused your injury may entitle you to compensation, consult an experienced Tarzana personal injury lawyer today.

Victims of personal injuries most often file a lawsuit claiming they are owed compensation for their injuries because they were inflicted when a defendant acted negligently. To do this and establish liability, you must show:

• The defendant owed you a legal duty of care to act as a reasonable person would in those circumstances
• They breached it by either an act or a failure to act when they should have acted
• Their breach caused you actual harm

Victims can also create the presumption of negligent conduct by showing defendant injured you while breaking any law, rule, or regulation designed to promote safety, such as the speed limit when driving. This makes the defendant liable for any resulting injuries you can prove.

Even if you are party at-fault for the situation that injured you, you may still be entitled to recover some compensation. In Tarzana, under the theory of comparative negligence the court hearing your case will review the facts and assign each party involved a percentage of fault depending how their conduct contributed to the accident. Any award you receive will be reduced by the percentage of fault you were assigned for the accident.

Even seemingly minor accidents can result in life-changing, catastrophic, or even fatal injuries for unsuspecting victims. In these situations, an innocent person’s life changes instantly and permanently - lifelong care and extensive medical treatment can result in astronomical bills, and the potential of an inability to work for life seriously impacts the victim and their family’s financial future. This is why courts may award victims of negligence compensation for their mental, physical, emotional, and even financial injuries. It’s common to see awards for injuries including:

• Pain and suffering
• Hospital bills
• Lost wages
• Scarring, disfigurement, or disability
• Property damage
