A Fuller Jenkins attorney lawyer can help an individual recover damages following a personal injury. California personal injuries are sustained when a bodily injury has resulted due to acts of negligence. There are a wide range of California personal injuries that can occur, causing large medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of income, and other damages.   Injuries can occur as a result of automobile or motorcycle accidents, in commercial buildings, nursing homes, hospitals or as a result of medical malpractice.  Often, it is important to get evaluated immediately after an accident.  Fuller Jenkins attorneys can help you schedule appointments with the appropriate experts to make sure that any damages are noticed immediately, and any necessary treatment starts at the earliest possible date.

Most often, a California personal injury will involve negligence, which is the failure to use a standard level of care to avoid injuring people. Regardless of whether the negligence was intentional or not, when someone has failed to act in a reasonable manner causing a California personal injury, they are liable for the damages.

Personal injury claims can involve legal, medical, and insurance matters.  Sometimes, people are tempting to try and resolve matters themselves.  Insurance company adjusters are trained to get the best result for their company.  By making one small error in the process the injured person may disqualify him/herself from their entitlement. It is always safer to have a Fuller Jenkins lawyer review any document prior to signing anything or before making any statements to ensure your rights are protected.

Often, personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis.  This means that the law firm does the work without sending out monthly bills.  Instead, it only gets paid when the case resolves, from the proceeds of settlement or from the verdict collected after trial.  No money is required for legal fees from the client during the handling of the case.  This allows for people who have limited resources to get the best possible representation. 

If you or someone you love has been involved in an accident, or hurt outside the home, Fuller Jenkins attorneys would be happy to talk with you and help you understand your rights.
