Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law is designed to protect individuals who have been physically or emotionally harmed due to the negligence or wrongful actions of others. If you’ve suffered due to someone else's actions, whether in an automobile accident, a slip and fall, or another type of incident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. 


The first and most important step after you’ve been injured is to seek medical attention immediately. Prioritizing your health ensures proper recovery and strengthens your case for fair compensation. 


The Law Offices of Michelle Choe emphasizes that your recovery comes first, and compensation can follow once your medical needs are properly addressed. 


After seeking care, it’s crucial to document your injuries, avoid discussing your case with insurance companies without legal guidance, and contact an experienced attorney who can help guide you through the process. 


The Law Offices of Michelle Choe is here to ensure you receive the support and compensation you deserve. 


Types of Personal Injuries

Personal injury law covers a wide range of injuries, including, but not limited to:


  • Automobile Accidents: Auto accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury claims. Injuries from car accidents can range from minor bruises to life-threatening conditions, often resulting in medical bills, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation. The Law Offices of Michelle Choe handles cases involving accidents with Uber, Lyft, and commercial trucks, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Premises liability claims, often involving slip and fall accidents, occur when property owners fail to maintain safe conditions. Wet floors, uneven pavement, or inadequate lighting can all contribute to accidents that lead to serious injuries.
  • Wrongful Death: In the worst cases, negligence or misconduct can lead to the death of a loved one. Families affected by wrongful death can pursue legal action to seek compensation for their loss, including funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional distress.

Common Causes of Personal Injury

Personal injuries are often caused by negligence, which can take many forms. These include instances such as distracted driving or poor maintenance of property (such as slippery floors or broken stairs). In each of these situations, the at-fault party is legally responsible for the harm they cause. Personal injury law exists to hold individuals, companies, or institutions accountable for their actions and ensure victims receive the compensation they deserve. 


Compensation You Can Receive in a Personal Injury Case

If you’ve been injured, you may be entitled to compensation for:


  • Medical Expenses: This includes current and future medical bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and therapies.
  • Lost Wages: If your injury has caused you to miss work, you may be entitled to compensation for lost income during your recovery period.
  • Pain and Suffering: In addition to financial losses, you may be entitled to compensation for the physical pain and emotional suffering caused by the injury.
  • Emotional Distress: Personal injuries can have lasting emotional effects, including anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Compensation may be available to cover these non-economic damages.
  • Loss of Consortium: If the injury has affected your relationship with your spouse, you may be eligible for compensation for loss of companionship and support.

  • How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

    You have a valid personal injury claim when you were injured in a car accident caused by another driver's negligence.  

  • What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in California?

    In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the injury. This means you have two years from the date the accident or incident occurred to file a lawsuit in court.  

  • How is negligence determined in a personal injury case?

    To win a negligence claim, you must prove that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries and damages.  

  • What happens if the at-fault party doesn’t have insurance?

    If you have UM (Uninsured Motorist) coverage under your own policy, it steps in to cover your damages when the at-fault driver is uninsured. Think of it as your own insurance company compensating you as if the other driver had insurance.   

  • Can I still file a personal injury claim if I was partly at fault for the accident?

    California follows a comparative negligence system. This means that even if you contributed to the accident, you can still recover damages, but your award will be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.
