While you may be able to file some basic papers yourself, it&#8217;s best to work with an attorney who will vet and prepare your case. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you navigate the California court system and can represent you in front of a judge or jury.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>How Do I Know if I Have a Legitimate Personal Injury Claim?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>People who are injured when another party doesn&#8217;t act responsibly are often left with steep medical bills and financial stress caused by lost wages. Many victims have the right under California law to bring a personal injury lawsuit and recover damages for the losses they suffered. Of course, not all personal injury situations are the same. It&#8217;s important to know how California law works so that you understand when you might have a valid personal injury case. If you have a viable case, you should contact a personal injury lawyer for help.<\/p>\n<p><b>Understanding Personal Injury in California<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Personal injury cases in California hinge on negligence. To have a valid case, you have to be able to prove that another person or a business was responsible for your injury. Proving negligence means meeting a few conditions. You must show that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the party you are suing had a duty to you,<\/li>\n<li>the party didn&#8217;t carry out that duty,<\/li>\n<li>the breach of duty caused your injuries, and<\/li>\n<li>you suffered actual damages from the injury.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Determining whether or not another person or business acted negligently may be easy in some cases, but it&#8217;s not so simple in others. A personal injury lawyer can help you determine whether or not the other party acted negligently.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important that your case falls within the statute of limitations. In most cases in California, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a case. However, in some cases, when suing the government, the statute of limitations is only six months. If your injury wasn&#8217;t discovered immediately after the accident, you have one year from the date that it was discovered to file a case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is important to contact a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youngwooldridge.com\/contact-us\/\">personal injury lawyer<\/a>\u00a0as soon as possible after an incident occurs.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>To learn more about your legal options, call 661.855.4886 today to schedule a free initial consultation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Like us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YoungWooldridge?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is My Claim Legitimate? | Personal Injury Lawyer When do I call in a personal injury lawyer?
