Accomplished Personal Injury Attorneys in Calexico & El Centro
After your accident, a skilled attorney can make a significant difference in your ability to recover a fair compensation.
It can take a fraction of a second for an accident to happen, but the aftermath of the accident can lead to a lifetime of pain and anguish. In California, injuries that are caused as a result of another’s negligent actions can be compensated through a personal injury lawsuit. When a victim is left with physical pain in the aftermath of a negligent accident they should not have to pay for the medical expenses caused by the injury. Instead, the at-fault party should be held responsible for the victim’s damages.
If you were injured in an accident, you should know that you may be eligible to receive compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may face the inability to return to work for an extended period of time. By filing a claim, you could obtain damages that would cover your loss of income, medical expenses, and emotional anguish. Speak to a professional Calexico personal injury lawyer who can advocate on your behalf as you focus on your recovery.

Common Negligent Accidents That Can Lead to Serious Injuries
Accidents that are caused as a result of another’s negligence can lead to catastrophic injuries. The following are common accidents that can lead to a personal injury claim:
Traffic Accidents
Traffic accidents are some of the dangerous accidents that routinely lead to life-altering injuries. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, there were a total of 3,563 traffic-related fatalities in 2018. These types of accidents can involve regular passenger vehicles, public transportation, motorcycles, or large commercial vehicles. Depending on the type of accident, common traffic-related injuries involve:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Loss of limb
Dog Bite Attacks
When it comes to dog bite cases, the State of California follows a strict liability law. When the attack has occurred while the victim was legally on private property or was otherwise in a public place, the pet owner will be held accountable for the victim’s injuries. A dog bite attack can lead to serious injuries, such as infections and disfigurement. Sadly, children are greatly vulnerable to dog bite attacks.
Premises Liability Cases
In California, every property owner is responsible for maintaining a safe property, which includes making necessary reparations or warning visitors of the potential for danger. A property owner that has failed to maintain a safe premises can be held accountable for the accident that transpired as a result of the negligence. Common premises liability accidents include:
- Recently waxed floors at a grocery store
- A swimming pool accident that was caused because the gate would not self-close
- A fall caused by insufficient lighting in a parking garage
- A fall caused by a lifted sidewalk
- Elevator and escalator accidents

Suffering a personal injury accident can lead to extreme physical pain and discomfort, but many victims also face emotional distress and financial concerns.

When a victim files a claim, certain roadblocks can be encountered. For instance, filing a personal injury claim against the negligent party will usually result in rebuttals from the at-fault party.
