A wrongful death claim occurs when an individual dies because of the negligent actions of someone else. Only specific family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit in California.
Traffic Violations
Many motorcycle accident cases are the result of negligent behavior by drivers (such as speeding), or a lack of awareness about motorcycle riders around them (such as in cases of car door collisions or “dooring”). In general, awareness and observation are key when sharing the road with motorcycles. Motorcycle accidents may also be caused by external factors, such as weather conditions or a manufacturer’s failure to produce functioning motorcycle parts.
Industrial accidents can be extremely serious and often cause major injuries to victims who are involved in them. Fortunately, if you have been hurt in an industrial accident, you may be able to recover workers' compensation benefits as you focus on recovering and returning to work.
Claims against negligent property owners are referred to as premises liability claims. They can be filed when there is reason to believe that the property owner's negligence caused harm to a visitor to the property. Often, negligence takes the form of failure to address a hazardous condition on the property.
