ABOUT US VIEW TESTIMONIALS Situations that Warrant Civil Claims Many types of accidents could entitle a plaintiff to file an injury claim, including but not limited to: ● Car and truck crashes ● Catastrophic injuries ● Wrongful deaths ● Dog bite and animal attacks ● Pedestrian and bicycle accidents ● Injuries caused by defective products ● Instances of medical negligence or malpractice ● Slips, falls, or other accidents on dangerous properties ● Bus crashes involving private or government entities ● Spinal cord injuries that lead to paralysis ● Traumatic brain injuries ● Third-degree burns Regardless of the cause of the accident, a hardworking and detail-oriented Burbank personal injury attorney could collect evidence about the incident and strengthen a plaintiff’s claim for monetary damages. The Essential Personal Injury Statutes While there are many laws that govern personal injury claims, two are essential: California’s statute of limitations and comparative negligence framework. The Statute of Limitations Explained A law known as the statute of limitations enforces a cutoff date for filing a lawsuit against the at-fault party. According to California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, the claimant must commence legal action within two years of the accident or risk losing the eligibility to recover a settlement. While specific circumstances could shorten or extend the time frame, an injured party should still file their claim as soon as possible after the incident. The California Pure Comparative Negligence Rule Many accidents involve more than one party, and some cases might even see the plaintiff being partially responsible. According to California Code of Civil Procedure § 3333.4, state civil laws follow the pure comparative negligence rule, which means the plaintiff might collect less compensation than they anticipate if they are partially responsible for the accident. For example, if the award for damages is $70,000 and the jury finds the plaintiff is 10 percent responsible, they will likely only be able to collect $63,000. A seasoned personal injury lawyer in Burbank could answer questions about the comparative negligence framework and help a plaintiff calculate the scope of compensation they deserve. BURBANK PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER | CIVIL ACCIDENT ATTORNEY TOP BURBANK PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER Personal injury law, or tort law, covers a vast range of cases and protects people when someone else’s negligence causes them to sustain bodily harm or property damage. Thanks to these laws, you can usually file a civil claim against individuals or businesses to hold them accountable for their actions. For example, if a negligent driver causes an accident and you suffer injuries, you can typically file a civil claim to collect financial payments for your losses. While you are never required to work with legal representation, taking your case to a Burbank personal injury lawyer could make a tremendous difference. During your case process, our experienced legal team at Block, LLP can assess the cause of the accident, collect evidence in your favor, and help you obtain the compensation you deserve.

If you are going through a dispute, having legal help is crucial. A lawyer could aid those facing eviction, trying to secure the return of a security deposit, or experiencing issues with the habitability of their dwelling. The precise remedies available will depend upon the specifications of the tenant’s lease and the exact issue at hand. By calling an experienced Burbank landlord and tenant dispute lawyer today, you are taking step one towards resolving your problem. Eviction Procedures in California When it comes to eviction, there are specific steps a landlord must take to evict a tenant. Among the requirements is a written notice providing a valid reason for the eviction. Valid reasons for eviction include: Nonpayment of rent The end of a lease or lack of a lease Violations of the lease, such as failing to keep the premises clean and sanitary, not disposing of garbage properly, or using utilities such as gas in an unsafe manner A Burbank landlord and tenant dispute attorney could advise as to the full range of circumstances providing just cause for eviction based on the review of a tenant’s lease. What Happens at the End of a Lease In California, if the lease of a tenant of less than a year ends and a tenant stays on the property, a landlord can evict with 30 days’ notice. Tenants of a year or more without a lease can be evicted with 60 days’ notice. If the terms of a lease have been violated, the landlord must provide the tenant with a three-day notice to repair or vacate. If the tenant fails to correct the issue or move out, eviction proceedings can then begin. An experienced lawyer could advise as to the options available to a tenant in Burbank based on the terms of their lease and how long they have been living at a particular place. Defending Against Eviction Tenants are not completely out of options once eviction proceedings have started. There are several defenses available to tenants facing eviction proceedings, including improper notice, retaliation, and constructive eviction. If a landlord fails to provide proper notice to their tenant during the eviction process, the tenant can contest the eviction on this basis. They can also challenge the eviction if it is in retaliation for the exercise of some legal right, such as complaining about the habitability of their dwelling. When a landlord fails to make necessary repairs, constructive eviction allows the tenant to argue they have been forced to move out. A Burbank landlord and tenant dispute attorney could advise as to the full range of defenses available. Discuss Your Options With a Burbank Landlord and Tenant Dispute Attorney Whether you are facing eviction, financial exploitation, or an uninhabitable dwelling, our team at Block LLP is here to help.

Uber and Lyft have strict guidelines for a car’s condition, a driver’s record, and adequate insurance. California has enacted effective laws to protect drivers and passengers, but what happens if you are a passenger and your rideshare driver is involved in an accident? Where do you turn for compensation? Our experienced car accident attorneys could answer all your questions about Uber/Lyft/rideshare accidents in Burbank. Call today to learn more. Requirements for Rideshare Drivers Drivers must be trained and submit to criminal background checks. Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies require strict maintenance conducted by an approved mechanic at least every 50,000 miles, and only certain types of vehicles will pass muster. Additionally, California Code § 10.5-7449 strictly prohibits consuming alcohol while on call or transporting passengers. All Uber, Lyft, food delivery, and other rideshare drivers in California must carry $1 million in insurance for liability and uninsured motorist coverage. Rideshare companies provide insurance that meets California’s mandates, but it is only applicable when the driver is on call or transporting passengers. Once a passenger’s ride ends and the driver is back on call, $50,000 per person and $100,000 per occurrence coverage remains. Uber and Lyft also provide comprehensive collision insurance coverage, but drivers must also carry collision insurance on personal policies. The rideshare policies come with a $2,500 deductible that the driver must pay. Once the driver turns off the rideshare app and is not on call, insurance coverage reverts to the driver’s personal insurance. If another motorist crashes into the rideshare vehicle, causing an accident, a third insurer enters the picture. Injured passengers are often confused about which insurance company is responsible for their claim, and insurers are famous for suggesting they are not liable. Insurers also commonly propose unacceptably low settlement offers. Our attorneys have vast experience negotiating with insurance companies and extracting sizeable settlements to reimburse passengers and others injured in Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare crashes in Burbank. Personal Injury Lawsuits Against Rideshare Companies and Their Drivers When insurance company negotiations break down, passengers injured by the driver or company’s negligence can file personal injury lawsuits seeking compensation for losses beyond the money they owe for medical care. Any car accident can be devastating, but one in which a person is helpless because they were not in control to avert it is worse.

The dedicated injury attorneys at Block LLP pride themselves on holding negligent actors accountable for their actions. Call and schedule a consultation with a seasoned Burbank pedestrian accident lawyer to begin your case for compensation. Common Injuries in Pedestrian and Vehicle Accident Cases Pedestrians are vulnerable to severe injuries when they are in accidents with motor vehicles, and some of the most common injuries include: Broken and fractured bones Back and spinal cord damage Soft tissue injuries and whiplash Severe facial and dental injuries Organ damage and internal bleeding Skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries The severity of damages and losses often depends on the car’s speed and impact area. After reviewing a case, a Burbank pedestrian crash attorney could answer specific questions about filing a civil lawsuit and potential damages. Pedestrian Accident Damages and Settlement Amounts The settlement amount and damages it will cover depend on the circumstances of a case, including the severity of injuries and cause of action. Pedestrians often sustain serious bodily harm and require extensive medical care, and—with the help of a trusted on-foot accident lawyer in Burbank—the compensation amount can be substantial. The civil court usually awards compensation in two categories: Economic Damages Economic damages cover the out-of-pocket losses a person sustains after suffering severe injuries. The court could provide monetary damages to cover measurable losses, including the total cost of medical care and lost salary while they are recovering from the injuries. Noneconomic Damages Noneconomic damages cover the personal losses that are more challenging to establish. The settlement may include payment for permanent scarring, disability, or pain and suffering. Safety Tips for Pedestrians and Motorists Severe accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles commonly lead to life-threatening or fatal injuries. The California Office of Traffic Safety provides guidance, safety tips, and preventative measures to reduce incidents. Safety Tips for Pedestrians Safety tips for pedestrians include the following: Avoid jaywalking and other dangerous activities Avoid distractions, such as cell phones, while traveling on foot at all times Wear bright clothing and always ensure visibility while walking in or near roadways Always look both ways before crossing streets, even when they have the right-of-way Vehicle operators and pedestrians must work together and do their part to avoid accidents. Safety Tips for Motorists Safety tips for motorists include: Never speed in areas with high rates of pedestrian traffic Avoid distractions, such as texting, while operating a vehicle Never drink, use drugs, or consume intoxicating substances while driving Yield the right-of-way when applicable and remain mindful of pedestrians in crosswalks at all times A tenacious lawyer in Burbank could answer questions about safety laws and help determine the at-fault party in a pedestrian collision claim.

When someone else’s reckless or careless actions are the cause of your injuries, you could have legal options for getting the compensation you need and deserve. Our dedicated team at Block LLP is here to help, no matter the exact cause of your personal injury. A Westlake Village personal injury lawyer could listen to your story, dig into your case, and fight for what is right. Examples of Personal Injury Civil Claims Whether you were hurt by a negligent driver or slipped and fell on dangerous property, Block LLP is here to help. Other injury claims we handle include: Bicycle, truck, bus, and pedestrian accidents Dog bites and animal attacks Instances of medical malpractice Product liability lawsuits resulting from dangerous and defective products or medication Traumatic brain injuries Spinal cord injuries Severe burn injuries Elder abuse happening in nursing homes and long-term care facilities Wrongful death A Westlake Village personal injury attorney could provide more information on whether a particular situation is legally actionable during an initial consultation. Proving Liability After an Injury In a personal injury claim, a lawyer will work to prove to the court that the defendant’s actions caused the plaintiff to suffer bodily injuries and financial losses. A Westlake Village attorney also has the experience and knowledge to fairly valuate someone’s losses and pursue a just damages award. Possible damages available to the plaintiff include: Medical bills, including ongoing care Home renovations, medical equipment, and medication Lost pay, earning potential, and benefits Emotional distress and psychological injuries Pain and suffering Permanent scarring and disfigurement The court will consider the plaintiff’s monetary losses and the non-monetary subjective damages they sustained because of the defendant’s negligence. Acting Quickly After an Accident Is Vital The civil statute limits the time to prepare and file the claim with the court. Per the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 , the party seeking relief must commence legal action within two years of the accident caused by the negligent party. Specific circumstances could lengthen the time frame, such as cases involving injured minors or when the defendant leaves the state before the claimant files the lawsuit. Even so, quickly preparing and filing the claim is in the plaintiff’s best interest. Starting the process as early as possible gives a Westlake Village lawyer ample time to gather evidence and build a tailored claim that falls within the state’s guidelines. Timeline for Cases Involving Government Agencies When the defendant in the suit is a state or federal government agency, the timeline is shorter, and other regulations may vary. The time to petition the court is generally six months, and there are additional steps to notify the agency before filing. What If The Injured Person Is Partly At Fault? California civil laws follow the pure comparative negligence rule for cases where the plaintiff or other third parties share a portion of fault for the damages. Rather than barring the claimant from recovery if the court determines they are partly at fault, they will diminish the settlement amount by their percentage of liability. It is not uncommon for defendants and their insurers to try to shift blame onto the injured party to avoid paying a fair damages award. Skilled injury attorneys in Westlake Village understand the tactics employed by opposing parties and are adept at countering these strategies.

Unfortunately, collisions are common—especially in high-traffic areas—and severe crashes can cause life-threatening injuries or death, as well as extensive property damage. You could be eligible to collect compensation if you were in a collision with a careless driver. Consult with a knowledgeable Burbank car accident lawyer to review your case. Our dedicated personal injury attorneys at Block LLP have experience handling car accident cases and could help you get the compensation you deserve. Distracted Driving Car Crashes in Burbank Distracted driving , including texting , eating, or applying makeup while driving, is a leading cause of serious collisions. When motorists divert their attention from the road, hazardous wrecks can ensue. A driver who is distracted places everyone around them at severe risk of a car crash, often with devastating consequences. State regulations prohibit motorists from using cell phones or other electronic devices while driving, unless they are hands-free devices. Other leading causes of car crashes include: Lack of sleep Speeding Reckless or aggressive driving Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs Failure to obey traffic safety rules and regulations Failure to give right-of-way when necessary Improper turns and other dangerous maneuvers A Burbank car wreck attorney could help by investigating and analyzing the evidence—including speaking with eyewitnesses and reviewing documents such as police reports—to determine the cause of the collision and who is responsible. California Minimum Insurance Coverage Requirements California mandates a minimum auto insurance coverage amount for motorists traveling on public roads and highways. The state follows the at-fault rule, which holds that the person responsible for causing the incident is liable for any damages. According to the California Insurance Code § 11580.1 , the state follows the 15/30/5 minimum insurance coverage rule: Motorists must carry at least $15,000 in bodily injury or accidental death coverage per person, with a minimum amount of $30,000 in coverage per collision. The car owner must also carry $5,000 for property damage per accident. A car crash lawyer in Burbank could handle negotiations with an insurance company on behalf of an injured person to help them get the maximum potential settlement amount. Damage Recovery for Accidents With Uninsured At-Fault Drivers While enduring a collision with an uninsured and careless driver can be frustrating, injured people can file a civil lawsuit to cover damages. By establishing the defendant’s liability for damages in court, settlements can cover expenses such as medical care, lost pay, pain, and suffering. A skilled car accident lawyer can facilitate a lawsuit against an uninsured motorist. Call a Qualified Burbank Car Accident Attorney Automobile crashes are unexpected and can result in painful injuries and significant medical expenses. You should not have to pay for another person’s careless actions. A financial settlement could cover the costs of your medical care, lost salary, and other expenses while helping you to hold the responsible party accountable.

While most understand that following the safety rules and regulations is crucial, they are still at risk of collisions with negligent drivers. You could be eligible to collect a settlement when a careless motorist causes an avoidable accident leaving you with damages and losses. Call a seasoned Burbank motorcycle accident lawyer if you have questions about the civil court process. Hard-working injury attorneys at Block LLP could help you with filing a lawsuit. What Are Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries? Crashes commonly leave motorcyclists with life-threatening and fatal injuries . Some of the typical motorbike wreck injuries include: Spinal cord injuries and paralysis Severe burn injuries and road rash Internal bleeding and organ damage Soft tissue injuries, including whiplash Broken bones and traumatic amputations Skull fractures, concussions, and traumatic brain injuries Motorcycles do not provide riders with the same physical protection as passenger car vehicles , so bikers are at significant risk of severe and life-altering injuries. A dedicated motorcycle accident attorney in Burbank could fight to ensure injuries and damages are accounted for through compensation. Settlements After a Motorcycle Accident After establishing fault, the court will award compensation for expenses, including current and future medical care, lost salary and earning potential, and home renovations if necessary. The settlement could also cover non-economic damages, including losing the enjoyment of life and pain and suffering. Motorcyclists’ Safety in California Studies show that wearing a helmet while operating or traveling as a passenger on the back of the bike significantly improves the chances of surviving crashes. Under the California Vehicle Code § 27803 , driving a motorcycle or other motorized bicycle or scooter is unlawful without wearing a Department of Transportation (DOT) approved safety helmet. Passengers must also use safety equipment and wear attire. The helmet must fit the individual’s head securely, and they must ensure the straps are always fastened. Motorcycle Driver’s License Endorsements Safe operation of motorcycles is crucial, and motorcyclists must pass the Department of Motor Vehicles tests to obtain an endorsement of their driver’s license. A Class M-1 endorsement allows drivers to operate all two-wheeled motorcycles, while a Class M2 is needed for other motorized cycles, such as scooters. Anyone wishing to obtain an endorsement under 21 must take and pass a safety course while those over 21. A trusted Burbank motorcycle crash lawyer could review the applicable statutes and safety regulations during a private consultation. Insurance Company Communication The at-fault driver’s insurance company will usually contact the motorcycle operator a day or two after the accident for a statement about how the collision occurred. It is usually not a good decision for the injured person to speak with them directly as they typically attempt to minimize the settlement amount. A skilled Burbank attorney could communicate with an insurance company on someone’s behalf and protect their best interest after a motorcycle crash. When they cannot reach an agreement, the legal representative could help prepare the claim to file in civil court. Seek Guidance From a Seasoned Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Burbank When motorcycle riders crash with a vehicle, they often sustain painful injuries and extensive property damage. When you are injured in a motorbike wreck, establishing fault is a critical part of the claims process to ensure you collect compensation from the at-fault party to cover healthcare, lost pay, and other damages. A diligent Burbank motorcycle accident lawyer could help identify the cause and gather the evidence needed to recover a settlement.

The regulations allow you to file a lawsuit in civil court to recover damages from the at-fault person or people. While vehicle collisions of all types are the most common cause of these lawsuits, a vast range of cases falls within the field of law. Accidents can be frightening, especially when you do not know how they will financially impact you. Fortunately, you have resources and do not need to handle things alone. A Sun Valley personal injury lawyer could help you pursue compensation from the person responsible for your injuries. We could gather evidence, review the facts of the case, and craft the strongest possible argument to help you receive damages to help you and your family recover. Types of Cases Accidents with vehicles are the most common type of personal injury cases, but many other incidents fall under this category as well. Some examples of cases falling within personal injury laws include the following: Car crashes Motorcycle collisions Slip and fall accidents Commercial truck accidents Dog bites and animal attacks Recreational boating accidents Nursing home abuse and neglect Birth injuries and other medical malpractice cases Wrongful death, which occurs when someone’s recklessness causes another to sustain fatal injuries, also falls within tort regulations. The laws allow the surviving family members to pursue legal action to obtain compensation from the at-fault party. Establishing Liability Civil claims must establish four specific elements are present to win damages. Those include duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. Everyone has a legal responsibility, called duty, to use caution and prevent causing harm to others. When they fail to do so, they breach that duty of care. Causation is the existence of a link between the defendant’s actions and the plaintiff’s injuries and losses. Lastly, hospital bills, expert statements, medical records, and other documentation can establish the plaintiff sustained verifiable damages. Insurance Company Settlements and Communication Many personal injury cases settle through insurance company negotiations when the plaintiff accepts a payout. The at-fault party’s insurer usually reaches out within a few days for a statement about what happened and to discuss the potential payout amount. An attorney in Sun Valley could handle the communication and ensure they reach a fair settlement amount in the personal injury case. If they cannot reach a suitable agreement, they could take on the legal work and file the claim in civil court. Personal Injury Laws in California The personal injury statute of limitations imposes a strict expiration date on the time for filing a lawsuit against someone to collect damages caused by negligence. The California Civil Code § 335.1 instructs that the injured party must file the claim within two years of the cause of action in most cases. However, in specific instances, such as medical malpractice, they have three years from the date the negligence happened, or if they discover the injuries later, they have one year from that date. Missing the deadline will often mean losing eligibility to collect a settlement. Pure Comparative Negligence State personal injury laws follow a pure comparative negligence doctrine, which assigns responsibility for damages based on each party’s percentage of fault. Even if the court determines the plaintiff shares liability, the plaintiff can collect a settlement from the defendant for their portion of the fault, regardless of how much responsibility each carries. During the consultation, a lawyer in Sun Valley could review the applicable personal injury statutes and answer specific questions. Meet With an Attorney in Sun Valley About Your Personal Injury Lawsuit Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere, and for many reasons. However, when they occur because of a person or business’s carelessness, you have the right to pursue compensation from the liable party. Tort laws are available to protect you by returning you to the financial position you were in before the accident occurred. The rules are complex, and proving the defendant’s full extent of negligence is essential to collecting a fair settlement. A hard-working and experienced Sun Valley personal injury lawyer could help you obtain the financial compensation you deserve. Call us today to schedule a consultation and learn more.

What Do California Laws Consider a Wrongful Death? A wrongful death lawsuit can hold a negligent person or business accountable for an event that leads to someone’s death. A family can file a lawsuit after many events, including a car crash , medical malpractice , or an intentional action. Using evidence, a lawsuit must prove that the negligent person or business was responsible for the family member’s death. State law is also clear on who can file a wrongful death lawsuit. When there are no surviving eligible family members—such as a spouse, domestic partner, children, or grandchildren—estate beneficiaries or relatives can commence legal action. A Burbank wrongful death attorney could handle the legal process and negotiate a fair settlement amount. Common Causes of Wrongful Death Lawsuits The accidents most commonly leading to fatal injuries and wrongful death lawsuits include: Car accidents Motorcycle crashes Medical malpractice Bicycle and pedestrian accidents Criminal assaults and violent attacks Defective products and premises liability cases A wrongful death claim must establish that the defendant failed to exercise reasonable care and is responsible for any damages. Elements Needed To Establish Liability in Wrongful Death Cases A wrongful death case must establish three elements to prove fault and collect compensation: A person sustained fatal injuries Their surviving family members suffered financial losses The defendant’s careless, reckless, or intentional actions caused the death The court may award compensation for economic and non-economic losses in cases when a wrongful death attorney in Burbank establishes all three elements. Jury Instructions for Determination of Damages The jury in a civil court typically awards damages for economic and non-economic losses in wrongful death civil suits. When determining compensation, California law suggests a jury consider several factors, including the deceased person’s health, lifestyle, habits, and occupation, as well as the approximate life expectancy of a person of the same age. When deciding on the appropriate amount of economic damages, the jury must also consider the reasonable value of household services, benefits, and burial and funeral expenses. To calculate non-economic damages, it will consider a range of factors, including the loss of society, companionship, guidance, and enjoyment of life. A wrongful death lawyer in Burbank could help build a robust lawsuit to establish fault and damages.

However, accidents do still occur, and if you are in one, the injuries and losses you sustain could affect every aspect of your life. Fortunately, you could be eligible to collect compensation for your medical care and lost income during recovery. Consult with a Burbank bus accident lawyer to review your case. Our skilled personal injury attorneys at Block LLP have experience in claims involving common carriers and could help you get the compensation you deserve. Bus Accidents and Negligence Special licenses apply to bus and truck drivers . The commercial driver’s license (CDL) requires training and testing beyond a standard driver’s license, ensuring that the person handling the larger vehicle can perform the job. If the driver is negligent and a passenger, pedestrian, or other motorist is injured, there may be grounds for a lawsuit, and the driver’s employer could also be held vicariously liable. The onus of proof falls on the injured person who must present evidence of negligence. The elements of negligence include a duty to act as any reasonable person would act, failing to maintain that standard, causing an accident due to this breach, and the accident causing injuries and losses. The bus driver may not be the only possible defendant if there is a wreck. Others can include: The bus’s manufacturer if defective parts contribute to a crash A motorist who ignores or breaks traffic regulations such as yielding to the right of way The City of Burbank if one in the fleet of BurbankBus vehicles is improperly maintained and malfunctions, causing an accident A private carrier such as Greyhound, by vicarious liability, if the bus driver is not properly credentialed or the company fails to conduct a background check A Burbank bus accident attorney could examine the evidence to determine if more than one defendant should be held responsible. Federal Laws for Minimum Insurance Buses that transport more than 15 people must carry at least $5 million in liability insurance, according to The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Smaller buses, such as shuttles and those used for sightseeing that carry fewer than 15 passengers, must carry a minimum of $1.5 million in liability insurance. Government Defendants: City and School Buses The government has sovereign immunity against many claims, but when a city, county, or school district bus driver is responsible for an accident with injuries, it can be held liable. Sovereign immunity may sound unfair, but the government is not providing transportation services for profit and it could not maintain the low cost for residents if it had to answer to a lot of lawsuits. However, the government does recognize that some claims, such as transportation accidents, are fair and necessary when a resident faces significant medical bills and a long recovery. The process for suing the government is unique, with additional notices and restrictions on recovery. A bus accident attorney in Burbank understands this process and could help an injured person protect their rights. Let a Burbank Bus Accident Attorney Work for You Bus accidents have the potential to be overwhelmingly catastrophic whether you are a pedestrian hit by one or a passenger traveling in one. You will want to know who is responsible and if you can hold them accountable for your injuries. One of our experienced attorneys could help you be compensated for your medical bills, lost wages, pain, emotional trauma, and other losses. We understand how the system works and what you will need to pay your bills and adjust to your new way of life as you recover. Contact a Burbank bus accident lawyer to discuss your case today.

The federal government requires truckers to complete extensive training to avoid collisions. Drivers who transport hazardous materials must complete additional training and testing. The government holds truck drivers and the companies they work for to a high standard, so they could face severe penalties for careless mistakes when they cause crashes. Call a diligent Burbank truck accident lawyer at Block LLP for more information when a truck wreck injures you. Our dedicated personal injury attorneys have years of experience getting people the compensation they deserve. Common Causes and Damages of Truck Crashes Truck collisions may occur for various reasons. Some of the most common causes of truck crashes include: Speeding and reckless driving Failing to obey traffic safety laws Defective equipment or lack of maintenance Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs Distractions, such as cell phones or adjusting the radio Making maneuvers without checking the truck’s blind spots A knowledgeable truck accident attorney in Burbank could answer questions about the causes and potential damage recovery. An injured person’s settlement amount depends on the specific circumstances of a case, including the cause of the accident. Some typical damages include: Lost pay Pain and suffering Permanent scarring and disability Transportation costs for doctor visits Mental and emotional pain and anguish Current medical expenses and ongoing treatment Tractor-trailer accidents commonly cause life-threatening injuries or death , and the settlement amount may be significant. Common Types of Truck Collisions The most common types of truck collisions in Burbank include: Jackknife Truck Accidents Jackknife accidents can occur when truck drivers try to stop abruptly or take sharp turns. The truck’s trailer swings to the side, forming a 90-degree angle. Rollover Truck Crashes When truckers speed, they risk losing control of the vehicle, and the high center of gravity increases the chances of rolling over on its side. Due to the size of tractor-trailers, rollover crashes often have deadly consequences for drivers and passengers on the road. Defective Parts and Mechanical Failure Defective parts, such as tire blowouts and mechanical failure, are common causes of truck crashes. Commercial vehicles must be in excellent working condition. Federal and state laws require regular maintenance. A skilled truck crash lawyer in Burbank could help an injured person prove negligence after an 18-wheeler wreck. Trucking Safety Regulations and Hours of Service Federal and state laws regulate the maximum number of hours of service for commercial truck drivers. According to the California Vehicle Code § 34501.2 , CDL operators cannot drive for over 12 hours during a work period in most cases and must rest for a minimum of ten hours before each shift. Drivers carrying flammable liquids may not operate the vehicles for over ten hours during a single work shift. The regulations also prohibit semi-truck drivers from remaining on duty for more than 80 hours per week, and they must rest at least 34 hours to reset before the new workweek begins. Logbook Requirements The Federal Department of Transportation requires that interstate CDL truckers install an electronic logging device (ELD) in their vehicles to record each driver’s driving time. If the ELD malfunctions, they must use a paper logbook to track driving times until repair. A seasoned 18-wheeler accident attorney in Burbank could investigate and collect evidence, including logbook or ELD data, to determine the cause of the collision. Schedule a Consultation With a Skilled Burbank Truck Accident Attorney Accidents involving commercial vehicles have lasting consequences for everyone involved. When avoidable collisions have catastrophic effects on your life, you have the legal right to hold the liable party accountable. A settlement could cover your losses, get you the medical care you need, and allow you to take the time you need for a full recovery.

A person’s role at the site can have a huge impact on potential remedies after one of these accidents, so you should understand the factors that impact recovery after an accident. California is a workers’ compensation state, so employees injured at the workplace, including construction workers, could get their injury costs mostly covered. Even when workers’ comp covers an injury, a victim may have third-party claims against other people at the site. A Burbank construction accident lawyer could help injured employees understand all of their potential remedies after an accident. Call today to consult one of our experienced personal injury attorneys about your case. Prioritizing Safety on Construction Sites Safety is supposed to be a priority at all construction sites, which is why there are regulations to make these sites safer. While these regulations may not all be laws, they are safety standards for a reason. The reality of worksites is often very different from the theoretical scenario. Workers can feel pressured to complete work on a deadline, leading them to take dangerous shortcuts that put the entire worksite in danger. Accidental non-compliance with safety standards also puts people in danger. People make mistakes. Most of the time, these mistakes are minor and do not lead to substantial injuries. However, the risk of serious injuries is much higher on a construction site. Workers face the highest risk of serious injuries, but other people on site are also at risk, and so are bystanders. An attorney in Burbank could help a construction worker better understand these risks when discussing accident claims. Workers’ Compensation Claims or Personal Injury Lawsuits Workers’ compensation provides a remedy for people who are injured on the job. In the vast majority of cases, workers’ compensation covers employee injuries on construction sites. There are some qualifying factors, such as the fact that the workers need to be employees, not independent contractors, in order to trigger coverage. Luckily, the workers’ compensation system usually makes it easier for an injured person to file a claim. While personal injury lawsuits require the injured person to prove negligence by a wrongdoer, workers’ compensation does not. If the employee gets hurt on the job, they will likely receive coverage for their claim. Damages under workers’ comp are usually lower than in personal injury claims. The law caps the payment amounts toward injured workers. While these claims processes are supposed to be simple for injured employers, insurance companies still try to minimize payouts. They may challenge that a worker’s injury occurred on a construction site, question the severity of the injuries, or suggest that an employee can return to work before it is medically safe to do so. A lawyer in Burbank could help injured construction workers pursue their workers’ comp claims after an accident. Suing Employers for Construction Accident Injuries When an employee is injured on a construction site, workers’ comp will generally cover their claims, barring them from suing their employer. In some situations, an employee may be able to bring a personal injury lawsuit demonstrating that the employer was negligent, reckless, or malicious. Other Claims for Construction Accident Injuries When anyone other than an employee is injured on a construction site, they may have a lawsuit. Determining the liable person will require examining several factors. Who was responsible for the accident? Do they work for the construction company, a property owner, or a contractor? Was the incident the result of a faulty product? The answer to each of these questions could help Burbank attorneys determine who may be liable after a construction accident. Workers may also have third-party claims. If anyone other than a coworker directed by the same employer caused the accident, then a worker may have a lawsuit against them or their employer. Likewise, if a defective product contributed to the injury, the worker may have a defective product claim. Consult a Burbank Attorney About Construction Accident Claims Construction accidents are often very complex. You may have claims against various parties in addition to having multiple types of claims. Understanding all of your potential remedies can help you determine what type of claim to pursue.

When it is damaged, you may experience severe trauma. Neck and back injuries are often catastrophic, resulting in extreme and permanent consequences, like paralysis. When you are hurt in an incident because of someone else’s negligence, you may be eligible for compensation. Call today to schedule a consultation with a seasoned Burbank spinal cord injury lawyer and review your case. The compassionate catastrophic injury attorneys at Block LLP are here to help you get the compensation you deserve. Recovering Compensation for Damages Each injury case is unique. The amount of compensation recovered for spinal cord injuries will depend on the severity of the injuries and how much harm the injured person may have experienced. Once the court finds that the other person acted negligently and so was responsible for the injuries, it can award compensation to cover: Pain and suffering Loss of companionship Loss of enjoyment of life Medical costs and ongoing care Lost salary, benefits, and future earning potential Emotional pain and anguish and psychological injuries, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) To maximize how much the court may award an injured person, a skilled Burbank spinal cord injury attorney could gather documentation and other evidence to prove liability and damages. Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries People experience spinal cord injuries during many different types of events; some of the most common incidents are: Motor Vehicle Collisions Car and motorcycle accidents are frequent culprits, often causing the body of an operator or passenger to twist awkwardly during the shock of the impact. Flying debris can also strike a driver or passenger during the crash, injuring their neck or back. Falls Slips and falls, as well as falls from heights, are the second most common cause of spinal cord injuries. In addition, falls can cause damage to your organs, as well as surrounding nerves and tissue. Violent Attacks Assaults and gunshot wounds can also lead to catastrophic spinal cord injuries. Depending on the location, the severity of the injury can vary; still, a knife or bullet wound is always a traumatic experience. Regardless of how one experiences a spinal cord injury, a Burbank neck and back injury lawyer may be able to secure a significant settlement to compensate for injuries and other damages. Statute of Limitations in California Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 , the injured person has two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, when someone is unaware that they sustained injuries, the timeframe begins after they discover the extent of the damage. Exceptions to the statute depend on the circumstances of an incident. A seasoned spinal cord trauma attorney in Burbank could answer specific questions after reviewing the situation and could handle the complex filings with the court. Schedule a Consultation With a Knowledgeable Burbank Spinal Cord Injury Attorney When you experience a spinal cord injury due to someone else’s negligence, a knowledgeable Burbank spinal cord injury lawyer could guide you through the legal process.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries Some of the most common causes of burn injuries include: Open fires Defective products Touching hot objects Acid and chemical burns Scalding liquids and steam Damaged wiring and electrical current A qualified severe burn injury attorney in Burbank could determine monetary damage amount after reviewing a specific cause of an injury. Types of Burn Injuries Burn injuries fall into four primary categories: First-Degree Burns A first-degree burn is a superficial injury and only affects the first layer of skin, called the epidermis. People can usually treat first-degree burns at home by placing them under cold water immediately. Second-Degree Burns Second-degree burns cause damage to the two most outer layers of skin and usually appear red, with some blistering. They are more painful and severe than first-degree burns but can generally be treated at home unless they cover a substantial part of the body. Third-Degree Burns Third-degree burn injuries destroy the two layers of skin and may damage the tissue and bone underneath. Individuals should seek medical care for these severe burns to avoid permanent scarring. Fourth-Degree Burns Fourth-degree burns are the most severe and destroy the skin, tissue, and bone in the area around a wound. Seeking immediate care from a medical professional is crucial, since the injuries can cause permanent disabilities and even death . A Burbank burn injury attorney could answer specific questions about how the severity of a burn injury could affect a potential lawsuit. The Pure Comparative Negligence Rule In a personal injury lawsuit, the defendant commonly asserts the plaintiff shares responsibility for the accident and injuries they sustained. If the court determines the injured person shares some responsibility for their burn injuries, it may lessen their award by the percentage it deems they are responsible. For example, if the total award is $100,000 and the injured person is 10 percent responsible for the injuries, the settlement amount they can collect is $90,000. Even if the court determines the injured person shares more responsibility than the defendant, they can still collect the defendant’s percentage of the award. A burn injury lawyer in Burbank could answer questions about the statutes and help estimate the settlement under the pure comparative fault rule. Deadline for Filing the Lawsuit in Burn Injury Cases Under the California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 , the petitioner has two years to file a motion for damages in civil court after experiencing burn injuries. Missing the statute’s expiration date could mean losing eligibility to collect compensation from the at-fault party. Schedule a Consultation With an Experienced Burbank Burn Injury Attorney Burn injuries can leave you with severe pain, scarring, and disfigurement. They may require ongoing medical care and could keep you out of work while recovering. You could be eligible for compensation when another person’s negligence caused you to sustain burn injuries.

Safarian Partner Hripsime Martirosyan Of Counsel View All Reviews Client Testimonials I had an incident with a trespasser over the weekend and thought that I may need legal counsel because of that in the future. I thought it’ll be easy to research attorneys but found out, that’s actually not the case. I needed to know what I could potentially be facing and what I should be doing. Received great advice and guidance right away. I called Alex’ office at around 5pm and he took my call and walked me through the scenarios. He provided the feeling of understanding and caring and consulted me with next steps. If it does go the way where I need representation in court Alex will the attorney I’m calling. Emmett Guclu Emmett Guclu Alex doesn’t miss. I hope I never get in a accident again, but if I do, it’s a no brainer who I’m contacting. My Uber accident was handled so peacefully and I was getting updates all the time, rarely had to reach out, which you know is kinda rare with attorneys. Loved the result and I miss the block team already, lol. Thank you Alex and Block Gary Gev Gary Gev Block Law Firm has some of the best attorneys I’ve ever worked with! Alex and Ryan, you guys are amazing. They really know the tenant/landlord rules and habitability laws. I told them the issues I was having and they were able to help me immediately. I got through to their staff for intake and was served the letters needed to proceed with my case within days after the initial call. They kept me informed throughout the process and, if I’m being honest, saved me from a lot of headaches. I highly recommend them every time to anyone dealing with habitability issues! Sam Joyce Sam Joyce I had been in a car accident in the past and worked with a large law firm to handle my case and the case never actually got settled and was a huge waste of time and money. This time around, I found Block LLP through a quick Google search for a personal injury attorney and found a completely different experience. Ryan Block was the attorney representing me and not only did he meet with me in person, but also spoke with me several times over the phone whenever I had any questions. He was very responsive and made me feel at ease. He was very professional and I will recommend him and everyone else who helped me at Block LLP to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney. Kim Bloomberg Kim Bloomberg Alex Safarian and Ryan Block were a pleasure to work with, the process ran very smoothly, and I knew right away that I could trust them to handle my car accident case.

My attorney, Alex Safarian, went above and beyond to make sure my needs were met and that I had the best treatment offered due to my injuries from my car accident. I have nothing but good things to say about Alex and the firm as a whole! If you need good people to represent you for car accident cases, I highly recommend them. Alex Kazan Block llp deserves many stars for the amazing service. I am so glad I gave block llp the opportunity to work on my case. I was involved in a very bad accident that left me with lots of pain and I wasn’t able to work for a period of time. I had no idea what to do or where to turn to for help. It was so difficult to deal with all the people and paperwork so I decided to hire block llp I just coudnt do it myself. They promised to take care of everything and I was so glad to hand over my case to good hands. They were so helpful. Thank you Alex and Ryan. Brenda Johnson There is a reason they have amazing 5-star ratings on here. This firm was as painless and professional as it gets with handling your case. I was rear ended at a red light and immediately felt my lower back ache from the impact. Without a car accident report filed with the police, I found Block LLP from a quick Google search of injury attorneys in Burbank and they had me signed on the same week. Monika was the attorney who primarily helped me after I had my initial screening done with the partners, Alex and Ryan. I filled out some papers with an inspector who came to my house to assess/photograph the damage. I also filed an online car accident report which I recommend to do if you did not get one on scene. Immediately the other party’s insurance was working on the cost of my damages. Meanwhile Monika took care of my chiropractic appointments which lasted for about 3 months and shortly after that I had the settlement check in hand. You are 100% in good hands with Block LLP and you will be lucky if you get Monika on your case. She was available any time I needed her and she got the full amount possible. I would recommend them to anyone involved in any type of wrongful accident.

A catastrophic incident is a sudden, unexpected event that results in severe harm, often leading to long-term or lifelong disabilities. These injuries can affect your brain, spine, or spinal cord—you could require ongoing medical treatment and even 24-hour care. When you are harmed due to someone else’s negligence, you have the right to seek compensation with the help of a dedicated personal injury attorney . Contact a seasoned Burbank catastrophic injury lawyer at Block LLP for more information and for help with your case. Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries Car crashes are the most frequent cause of catastrophic events. These incidents often happen because a driver is distracted or intoxicated . Other common causes include: Violent attacks Medical malpractice Motorcycle accidents Defective product injuries Commercial truck crashes Bicycle and pedestrian accidents Falls from heights and slip and falls Construction site accidents , including explosions or crush injuries from machinery A well-versed Burbank catastrophic injury attorney could analyze evidence to determine the person responsible for the event to prove negligence. Examples of Catastrophic Injuries Injuries with significant, long-term, or permanent consequences are considered catastrophic. Common traumas include: Fractured skulls Traumatic brain injuries Spinal cord injuries , resulting in paralysis Amputations Sudden loss of eyesight or hearing These catastrophic injuries are often permanent. When you have experienced one of these traumas, you could collect compensation for current and future losses. Recovering Compensation for Life-Altering Injuries The court considers several factors to determine a settlement amount, such as the circumstances leading to an accident, the extent of injuries, and the repercussions of a disability on one’s life in the future. Recoverable compensation for injuries falls within two primary categories: Economic Damages Economic damages cover the verifiable losses a person experiences after an injury. The settlement may include compensation for current and future medical treatment, loss of pay and benefits, future earnings, and transportation costs for healthcare appointments. Non-Economic Damages Non-economic damages are personal losses that are more challenging to quantify. The court may award compensation to cover pain and suffering, permanent disability, loss of enjoyment of life, and mental pain and anguish. Statute of Limitations for Catastrophic Injury Claims The statute of limitations sets the timeframe for filing a lawsuit against the responsible person. According to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 , an injured person must file a lawsuit no later than two years after the catastrophic event. If the plaintiff is immediately unaware of the extent of damage, the court makes an exception until the day they discover the total harm caused. If the defendant leaves the state before the petitioner files the claim, the time limit will not begin until they return to California. For minor plaintiffs, the clock starts on their 18 th birthday and expires when they turn 20. A dedicated catastrophic injury lawyer in Burbank could file the case, ensuring compliance with the rules and regulations. Schedule To Meet With a Qualified Burbank Catastrophic Injury Attorney A catastrophic incident that leads to traumatic injury can flip your life upside down. Your disability will not only change your life but could also affect the lives of everyone in your family. When you or someone you love experiences life-altering injuries because of another person’s negligence, California law could entitle you to compensation to cover your losses.

TBIs currently have no medical cure—although they can heal over time. When you suffer a life-altering brain injury because of someone else’s negligence, you can file a lawsuit to recover the cost for all your harm. Schedule a consultation with a seasoned Burbank traumatic brain injury lawyer when you have questions or want to review your situation. Our catastrophic injury attorneys at Block LLP could fight for you and get you the compensation you deserve. Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries Brain damage that results from head injuries can range from mild to severe, depending on the cause and force of the trauma. There are two main types of TBIs: Penetrating Brain Injury Penetrating brain injuries occur when an object strikes the skull and penetrates the brain. They can happen during incidents involving high-velocity projectiles or during violent attacks, where someone intentionally strikes another person’s head with an object. They can cause serious injuries and even death . Closed Brain Injury With a closed brain injury, no object enters the head or skull. Instead, a sudden and forceful jolt causes the brain to hit the inside of the skull, which is much harder, causing harm. A closed brain injury, like a concussion, can occur when the head is subjected to a sudden back and forward motion or forceful shaking. A dedicated traumatic brain injury attorney in Burbank could answer questions after reviewing the details of a case, including hospital records and the circumstances surrounding the event. The Duty of Care Statute in California The duty of care statute is the foundation for personal injury or tort lawsuits to recover damages after an accident. Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 1714 , people are responsible for their negligent actions and the damages they cause. People are legally obligated to act reasonably and prevent others from suffering foreseeable harm. If an injured person can prove the defendant caused their brain injury by failing to fulfill their legal obligations, the court can hold the defendant financially accountable. Examples of Breaching a Duty of Care Examples of violating a duty of care in injury cases include: Failing to adhere to traffic safety rules Driving while drunk or after taking drugs Driving while texting or using a cellphone Failing to maintain safe premises for visitors Failing to prevent a dog from biting or attacking the public Healthcare professionals failing to provide the standard of medical care A detail-oriented Burbank TBI lawyer could find the evidence needed to prove fault in court.
