Establishing Liability in California

In order to prove the defendant (individual or company you are suing) is at fault, a plaintiff (the injured party) must establish the defendant’s conduct caused the injury.

In order to establish liability, one must show that:

The legal duty of the defendant existed,
The legal duty was breached by the defendant,
This breach of duty caused harm to the plaintiff, and
Damages were sustained by the plaintiff due to the defendant’s conduct.

Most personal injury cases end in a settlement between plaintiffs and defendants. A settlement is a mutual agreement that defines how much the plaintiff will be compensated for in exchange for releasing a defendant from further.

When personal injury cases do go to trial, it is important to have an experienced attorney to handle your case in court. If you retain APG LAWYERS, APC, we have substantial courtroom and trial experience that can be leveraged to your benefit..

The statute of limitations defines how long a plaintiff has before a case cannot be brought against a defendant anymore. Statutes of limitations in California are affected by the kinds of claims that are brought, for example, medical malpractice actions, or the types of persons or entities being sued, for example, claims against public entities and employees of public entities.

Other claims fall under the two-year general statute of limitations for personal injuries. Therefore, it is important that an experienced Santa Monica personal injury attorney consults with and represents anyone pursuing a personal injury claim.

Otherwise, if the precursor requirements to present claims and/or notices are not timely served, or if a lawsuit is not timely filed, personal injury plaintiffs could forever be barred from pursuing their claims.
