Delivery Van Accident/TBI

Our client was riding his bicycle in a bike lane when he moved to the left to avoid a tree branch that had been allowed to grow over and obstruct part of the bike lane. When our client moved to the left to avoid the branch, he was hit near the line dividing the bike lane and traffic lane by delivery van operated by a State of California employee. The police report placed our client at fault for veering out of bicycle lane into the roadway. Our accident reconstruction investigation proved that our client didn’t leave the bike lane and that the van driver violated Vehicle Code §21760, the Three Feet For Safety Act, by not giving our client the required safe clearance while passing his bike. The State of California paid a settlement of $10,000,000, which provided the client with financial support, home comfort and medical care for the rest of his life.

Dangerous Conditions on Public Property/TBI

Our client was riding his bicycle in a bike lane when he encountered a tree branch that had been allowed to grow over the bike lane and partially blocked a bicyclist’s path. Our investigation revealed that the tree that caused our client to move to the left into the zone of danger was on County of Sacramento property, was overgrown and not properly maintained, and that the County violated its own code that required that trees on public property be trimmed to provide at least 14.5 feet of clearance above all roadways. The County contributed to a settlement that provided our client with financial support, home comfort and medical care for the rest of his life.

Uninsured/DUI Accident

Mr. Rosenthal secured a settlement for the passenger in a vehicle being driven by a drunk driver that ran off a wet roadway at 90 miles per hour and hit a tree. After recovering the $15,000 policy limit for the drunk driver, we pursued “underinsured motorist” coverage through our client’s parents’ auto insurance policy. Our client lived with his parents only part of the time and the insurance company hired a lawyer to fight coverage based on lack of residency in the home, but we were able to prevail and recover the $1,000,000 uninsured motorist policy limit. We also recovered an additional settlement from a landscape company that created a dangerous condition on the roadway by overwatering the median where the collision occurred.

T-Bone Accident/Back Surgery

Mr. Rosenthal secured a settlement for a client who was driving down Madison Avenue when a Garda armored truck pulled out of a parking lot directly in his path, causing a t-bone collision. Our client had “chronic” back pain prior to the collision and the defense claimed the two-level L4-5 and L5-S1 lumbar spine fusion surgery was not caused by the accident. During trial, we were able to prove through expert testimony by our client’s treating orthopedic surgeon that, despite the pre-existing back pain, the collision was a substantial factor in aggravating the condition to the point that he required surgery. The defense steadily increased its offers during the course of the trial until a settlement was reached.

Product Liability – Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

While attempting to access the data at one of the stations, the metal door on the mounted housing unit swung open unexpectedly after being latched shut, striking our client on the head. Our investigation showed that the door handle failed to secure the door and that the manufacturer of the box discontinued the use of these particular handles because of similar failures on other boxes, but failed to recall the handles on boxes already in use or warn their customers of the potential danger. Although some of our client’s damages were covered by workers’ compensation, we sued the responsible manufacturer and secured a separate recovery for future medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

  • Speaking with insurance companies on your behalf to try to get a fair settlement offer based on your actual losses 
  • If no settlement can be reached, they will take your case to trial.
  • We work on a contingency fee basis. This means you only pay if we win your case.

Common Accidents That Lead to Personal Injury Claims in Elk Grove

Personal injury claims can arise from many different types of situations. The general requirement is that someone else’s negligence led to your injuries, and then you can hold them responsible. Some of the most common types of personal injury claims include: 

Motor Vehicle Accidents 

Motor vehicle accidents make up a significant number of Elk Grove accident claims. They commonly arise when someone who caused an accident was distracted, fatigued, driving under the influence, or otherwise behaving negligently or breaking the law.  

Slip and Fall Accidents 

Slip and fall accidents are another common type of personal injury claim. All property owners are required to keep their property safe to make sure people aren’t injured when they enter the premises. When this doesn’t happen, and an injury occurs, the injured party can file a claim against the owner. 

Workplace Injuries

Many people are injured at work each day. Sometimes, this is handled by filing a workers’ compensation claim, which doesn’t require a showing of negligence. Other situations allow the worker to file a personal injury lawsuit, like when a third party (someone other than the employer) is responsible for the injury. This could be a subcontractor or another driver on the road, for example. 

Dog Bites  

Dog bites often lead to personal injury claims as well. This type is unique in that it doesn’t require negligence. California handles dog bites under strict liability laws, meaning the owner of a dog is liable for bites even if they weren’t negligent and had no reason to know their dog was dangerous or likely to bite (with some exceptions, like if the victim was trespassing). 

(a) The owner of any dog is liable for the damages suffered by any person who is bitten by the dog while in a public place or lawfully in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness.

Defective Products

Sometimes injuries are caused by faulty products, unsafe drugs, or malfunctioning equipment, making manufacturers or retailers responsible for resulting harm. 

If you’ve been injured in any of these types of accidents, you could be able to file an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit. The best way to figure out your next steps is to reach out to an experienced Elk Grove wrongful death lawyer.
