Personal Injury Attorneys

HLG has a proven track record of helping individuals recover for harm they have suffered.  We work harder and smarter than other attorneys in order to achieve maximum justice for our clients.

Thankfully, there are many California and Federal laws that seek to make daily life safer.  Unfortunately, these laws are violated every day and people are hurt.  As a result, the law requires compensation for injured individuals and businesses.

Based on the law, the millions of people that are hurt every year due to the fault of others have the ability to recover compensation for the harm they suffered.  In fact, holding individuals accountable for the harm they have caused makes all of us safer.

Unfortunately, many types of harms are very long lasting and could last us for the rest of our lives.  A lot of harms require medical treatment at great expense.  The law provides for compensation not only for the pain and suffering we endure but also for the medical expenses associated with the harm.

Emotional distress damages are a recognized form of damages. The law provides:

The general rule of damages in tort is that the injured party may recover for all detriment caused whether it could have been anticipated or not. In accordance with the general rule, it is settled in this state that mental suffering constitutes an aggravation of damages when it naturally ensues from the act complained of, and in this connection mental suffering includes nervousness, grief, anxiety, worry, shock, humiliation and indignity as well as physical pain.” (Crisci v. The Security Insurance Co. of New Haven, Connecticut (1967) 66 Cal.2d 425, 433

One important note is that there are time limitations on filing a lawsuit.  These time limitations are called statutes of limitation.  For most personal injury lawsuits need to be filed within two years of the injury but lawsuits against the government have to be filed within six months from the date of injury.
