Here are some of the ways that a personal injury attorney can help you in California:

Brain Injury

In many slip and fall, vehicle accidents, sport injury, skull penetration, and explosions you or your loved one may have experienced TBI, also known as traumatic brain injury. It can be life changing and traumatic for you and your family. Let us guide you through these profound life changing situations, if you know someone that is experiencing serious brain injury due to the negligent or intentional act of another person or party don’t hesitate to seek counsel from our experienced California brain injury lawyers.

Wrongful Death

The sudden death of a loved one is always life-altering. It changes the entire course of the future for most families. Losing the family’s provider can leave the surviving family members scrambling to pay bills while trying to manage their grief. If you are in this position, you are not alone. The Lathrop Law team consists of experienced wrongful death attorneys in California who are here to help you navigate filing a lawsuit. Filing a lawsuit cannot bring your loved one back, but it can set you on the road to financial recovery and a more stable future.

Dog Bites

Depending on the circumstances of your dog bite or attack, the owner of the dog could be liable for all of your damages. Generally in a situation where your injury was caused by a dog and you were in a public area or lawfully in a private space when the attack occurred, the owner of the dog is liable. In California, there is no “one bite rule” so the dog owner is often liable even if the dog has never bitten or attacked anyone before. The party that is financially responsible for the costs of your damages depends on the circumstances of your bite or attack injury. It’s not always the case that the dog owner pays out of their pocket, instead the financial resources might come from another source.

Premises Liability

Every property owner in California is legally obliged to provide and maintain safe and secure premises for all visitors. Nevertheless, negligence has led to unfortunate cases of slip and falls, security issues, sidewalk-related accidents, and other safety concerns. More than often, property owners and lessors fail to maintain their property and neglect their responsibilities in order to keep visitors safe. In the state of California, premises liability laws hold property owners and managers accountable and liable for damages or injuries resulting from the hazards on their premises. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries due to the negligence of a property owner, time is of the essence.

Wildfire Litigation

California wildfires are becoming more common each year as the effects of climate change intensify. Hundreds, if not thousands of people throughout the state are forced to evacuate their homes each year due to the threat of wildfires. Others sustain devastating personal injury or suffer the loss of a family member. The California wildfire lawyers at Lathrop Law are dedicated to helping people put their lives back together after tragedy strikes. We are also committed to vindicating your legal rights if a company’s negligence causes a wildfire. Those who suffer harm, or lose their homes, land, or property after a wildfire may ask themselves who, if anyone, is responsible for the cost of rebuilding their lives. California fire victims have legal rights and may be entitled to compensation for serious injuries, property loss, or other damages.

Catastrophic Injury

The law states that a catastrophic injury is any injury that permanently prevents you from performing any gainful work. It typically involves permanent or long-term pain or loss of the use or function of a limb or organ. They can include: Spinal cord injuries, paralysis/paraplegia, injuries causing blindness or deafness, amputations or other losses of a limb, disfigurement, or even injuries involving permanent disability. Such catastrophic injuries may arise out of motorcycle accidents, motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, or defective products.
