Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At Easton & Easton, we have handled several kinds of personal injury cases over the years. These cases have included:

Car accidents. When an individual drives while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, uses their cell phone, or participates in actions of reckless driving, such as racing or speeding, it can cause devastating accidents and subsequent injuries.
Truck accidents. When an individual gets behind the wheel of a commercial truck, they have a duty of care to keep others on the roadway safe. When this driver participates in actions of distracted driving, reckless driving, driving impaired, or does not properly secure their load, they can cause accidents and further injuries to others on the roadway.
Motorcycle accidents. These accidents can be extremely horrific and even fatal for riders of motorcycles as they often have less protection than those in cars or trucks. Injuries often include road rash, severe burns, amputations, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal cord injuries.
Product liability. Before products can hit the open market, they must pass through a series of rigorous safety tests. When these tests are not carried out or their results are ignored, and the product is placed on the market for consumers, injuries can occur. Common products seen in liability cases include medications, food or beverages, and electronics.
Premises liability. Unless they are trespassing, individuals who are injured on the property belonging to another party can hold that party liable for their damages. This can include property such as grocery or department stores, government buildings, office buildings, or apartment complexes.
Medical malpractice. The most common forms of medical malpractice cases include surgical errors such as wrong-site surgeries, birth injuries, medication or anesthesia errors, misdiagnosis, failure to treat, or delay in treatment or diagnosis.
Pedestrian accident. These accidents occur when individuals on foot are struck by motor vehicles, often resulting in severe injuries due to the pedestrian’s complete lack of protection. Common injuries include broken bones, head trauma, internal bleeding, and soft tissue damage. These accidents frequently occur at crosswalks, in parking lots, or at night in poorly lit areas.
Bicycle accidents. These accidents often involve collisions between cyclists and motor vehicles, resulting in significant injuries due to the minimal protection bicyclists have. These accidents frequently occur at intersections, on roadways with inadequate bike lanes, or when drivers fail to notice cyclists sharing the road.

There are several forms of damages available to victims of personal injury accidents. These can include medical bills, lost wages, the loss of a future earning ability due to temporary or permanent disability, pain and suffering, loss of the enjoyment of life, and wrongful death damages.

FAQs

What Evidence Is Needed in a Personal Injury Claim?

In order to win a personal injury claim, you and your attorney must demonstrate liability on the part of the defendant. There are several forms of evidence that can help support your claim of liability, including medical records and bills, pay stubs, security footage of the accident or other photos of the accident scene, eyewitness statements, and photographs or videos of the injuries sustained.

How Long Can It Take to Settle a Personal Injury Claim?

It can be difficult to offer an exact timeline as to how long it may take to settle a personal injury claim in the state of California. This is due to the fact that there are many variables involved in these cases, which can impact the overall time frame. These variables include the severity of your injuries and how long it takes to heal them, the complexity of the case, and the cooperation of all parties involved.

Do Insurance Companies Usually Settle Out of Court?

While it is rare that a personal injury claim will go to court, there are still instances in which this happens. When a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiations with the at-fault party, their legal team, and the involved insurance companies, your lawyer has the ability to take your claim to court and argue your case before a judge.

Coming out of my first auto accident as an adult, a very difficult and scary time to navigate and understand, I was so incredibly thankful to have been put in contact with Easton & Easton. I honestly was lost with how to handle paperwork, doctors, medical costs and what next steps were, and from the moment I spoke with Travis Easton and my case manager Katie, my mind was put at ease. They have made the entire process stress free for me as I recovered, and I am so grateful for them and their genuine care for my case. Communication from the start has been fantastic, especially making clear what my expectations for the entire process would look like, and I truly believe they have my best interest at heart. 100% I would recommend their firm for anyone that is needing representation!

Sofia Sanchez

I could not be more pleased with the services provided by the Law Offices of W. Douglas Easton. The senior partner Mr. Easton took the time to meet with me and my wife while I was still in the hospital, where he gave my family hope that there was light at the end of a very long, and very dark tunnel. Matt Easton then worked my case, and because of his dedication, experience and expertise I received a settlement that was larger than I EVER thought possible. It was truly astounding! Matt and the entire team at Easton & Easton looked out for me throughout my recovery, and in the end they gave me my life back. Five stars is not enough. Thanks Matt! Thanks Easton & Easton!

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.

I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
