Personal Injury claims process It’s not uncommon to be anxious at the thought of pursuing a personal injury claim. While some lawsuits make it all the way to trial, most don’t. With our help, the personal injury lawsuit process will be a lot less stressful. The following are some steps you can expect with any personal injury lawsuit. Initial meeting with a personal injury attorney If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident that was someone else’s fault, you should seek the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Contact our firm to book a free initial consultation with an experienced lawyer. Be sure to carry any supporting documentation including medical records, video recordings and notes for our lawyer to review. Our lawyer will help you establish whether you have a valid claim. Our no-obligations initial consultation is a great opportunity to determine whether we are the right firm to handle your case for you. Investigation and gathering of evidence If you choose to hire our firm to represent you, we will start by investigating your case to establish the facts surrounding the accident. This involves collecting and examining evidence such as police reports, witness information, medical records, damage reports and any other relevant information. When you engage a lawyer from our firm, the lawyer will handle all communications regarding the case. You should therefore refer anyone inquiring about the accident or any documents to your lawyer. Sending a demand package Once the merits of your case have been established, we will send a demand package to the defendant. This includes a demand letter that outlines your case. It also includes copies of evidence that has been gathered during investigation. The demand letter lets the defendant know the extent of the damages and what you want as compensation. Defendants often respond by either rejecting the demand or making a counteroffer. Negotiating a settlement Many personal injury cases are resolved before the filing of a lawsuit. This involves our attorneys negotiating with the defendant on your behalf until an acceptable monetary offer is made to settle the case. Our attorneys work with our clients’ rights and welfare in mind. We will negotiate with the aim of getting the best possible settlement for your case. Filing a lawsuit If a settlement is not reached, a lawsuit is filed in court. A judge will then set the deadlines for each subsequent phase. Depending on the complexity of your case, the lawsuit process can take several months or years to complete. There is still a chance of getting a settlement prior to going to trial. This is through mediation. However, if negotiations at this phase fail, the case will proceed to trial. When this happens, a judge or jury will determine who is liable for the injuries and how much should be paid as compensation. Act now Accidents can occur at any time and result in life changing injuries. While monetary compensation will not reverse the damage that has already occurred, it will help to ease the financial strain on you and your loved ones resulting from your injuries. If you are the victim of an accident in Oakland, CA that was the result of another person’s actions (or lack thereof), you are entitled to compensation. However, it is important to start the claims process as soon as possible. You will have limited time within which to file your claim depending on the nature of your injuries and who you are filing the claim against. The statute of limitations in California for personal injury claims is two years. There are exceptions for some cases. If you’re filing a claim against a public entity for example, you must do so within six months from the date of the accident. The statute of limitations for a medical malpractice injury is three years from the date of injury and one year from the date of discovery of the injury. Don’t risk losing your right to compensation. Get in touch with us to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer, Oakland, CA to defend your rights. LEARN MORE WE CAN HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THESE COMMON QUESTIONS What should you do after a personal accident or injury? Get medical attention – Go to the emergency room, your general doctor, or a clinic as soon as possible—if needed call an ambulance to the scene of the accident. Try to avoid talking about your case – The only people that you should discuss your injuries with are your doctor and your attorney. You should not admit to fault or apologize to anyone else that was involved, even if it seems like a polite thing to do. Anything that you say in the aftermath of an accident can be used against you if you pursue a claim or lawsuit later. Do not discuss your case to with an insurance representative or an opposing attorney without your attorney present. Gather as much evidence and documentation as possible – In personal injury cases you and your lawyer must prove that you were hurt or injured due to someone else’s negligence. Keep records and maintain documents of everything pertaining to your accident or injury case; medical records, police reports, witness contact information, and take pictures or videos of your injuries or the accident scene if you are physically able to do so. Keep a journal or diary and record any relevant facts and try to create a timeline of your entire incident form start to present day – write down facts and information as to what happened while it’s still fresh in your head. Write details about what happened before, during, and after the incident in your own words to help you recall the events later. Keep all evidence and documentation of your injury until after your case is closed. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim? This will depend on the statute of limitations in your state, but the statute of limitations in California for personal injury claims is two years. There are exceptions for some cases. If you’re filing a claim against a public entity for example, you must do so within six months from the date of the accident. You should try to pursue a claim as soon as possible – this will help you prove liability and the breadth of your damages. What should I do if an insurance representative calls me? You should not speak with an insurance representative regarding your accident or injury case. Your insurance companies objective or goal as a business is to pay out as little as possible. Insurance companies can use whatever you say against you. Tell the insurance representative to contact your lawyer, or to contact your insurance company if you have not yet retained an attorney. How much does a personal injury attorney cost to represent me in California? Personal injury lawyers almost always accept cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you are not required to pay the attorney’s fees until you recover against the party you are suing. In California, a common “contingency fee” percentage charged by an attorney would be 33.33% or one-third of the amount of the settlement obtained or a verdict awarded to you by the court. It is important to note that personal injury lawyers make money ONLY by winning personal injury cases in court or by settling personal injury cases out of court through what is commonly called a settlement. If there is no recovery in your case, then you do not have to pay any attorney’s fees.   How can a personal injury attorney help me? Personal injury attorneys are lawyers that help people who have been physically or psychologically injured as the result of someone else’s negligence. Injury lawyers are normally retained by people to help them recover compensation for other’s negligence. Someone who has suffered a loss caused by another’s negligence may be able to sue for damages to compensate for this harm. How do you know if I have a perosnal injury case that is worth pursuing? People who have been hurt or injured do to other’s negligence have the right to financial compensation. To potentially have a case, you must bring a suit forward before the statute of limitations passes, prove negligence that in fact another party is responsible for your physical injury, and lastly you must prove a financial loss due to the injury – medical and hospital bills, loss of income, property damage, etc. TOP RATED AND REVIEWED PERSONAL INJURY & ACCIDENT ATTORNEY Helping People, Not Corporations We have the experience and knowledge to help you get the compensation & justice that YOU deserve!

Search for: Search: Amusement Park & Carnival Accident & Injury Lawyer Amusement parks and carnivals are a great way to spend time with your family, and parks across the country are no stranger to giving thrills to residents and tourists. Thrill rides, roller coasters, and Ferris wheels are a great way for you to make great memories. Unfortunately, these rides can also result in a serious tragedy should they not function properly. A malfunctioning mechanism, faulty safety belts, or flying debris can result in your or a loved one being seriously injured. Many individuals, especially children, may find themselves the victim of a serious ride accident. What causes amusement Park Accidents? Some of the most common amusement park accidents are unavoidable, regardless of whether or not every mechanism or employee does their job correctly. Constant friction and jerking motions at high speeds on a roller coaster can cause trauma to the victim in many ways; common examples of this are bruising, whiplash, head trauma, or damage to internal bones or organs. Common ride accidents include: Head trauma, such as concussions Heart issues or heart attack as a result of high speeds Brain aneurisms Cuts, bones, or muscle injuries Whiplash Neck injuries Drowning in water-related rides These, while unfortunate, can often be seen as the fault of the rider in court. However, there are several instances of amusement park accidents in which the park itself is completely at fault. If the ride itself malfunctions or is poorly supervised, the victim is guaranteed a case against the park in which the accident took place. These accidents include: Mechanical malfunctions : If any device on the ride fails, such as a safety belt, lap bar, roller coaster track, or structure, there could be very dire consequences for the riders. Detached safety equipment or derailing rides can likely result in serious injury or death. Operator error : The operators of the rides themselves are sworn to a code of conduct for riders in a similar manner to that of public transportation drivers. like a transportation accident, a rider involved in an accident at the fault of an amusement park operator can have a claim due to the fact that the accident was the fault of a professional. Several steps are taken to guarantee riders a safe and fun experience, but unfortunately sometimes this isn’t always enough. the resulting injury can range form mild to severe, but can also result in a large financial payout. How do I know if I have a case against a carnival or amusement park? Like all potentially dangerous activities, carnivals and amusement parks are regulated with specific standards of safety; it also considers amusement parks and carnivals as different entities due to the fact that, while carnivals travel, amusement parks such as Disneyland or Universal Studios remain in one place, and are thus referred to as fixed sites. While the government regulates traveling carnival rides, the same cannot be said about fixed sites. Government inspections are usually the course of action for fixed sites, while local regulations maintain the proper standard of safety. If you are able to prove that you as the rider did everything you could to remain safe on the ride (following all the rules, obeying the operators, etc.) and were still injured, you could have a claim against the park or the ride operators based on who was truly at fault. Some of the things you can sue for include: Medical bills Emotional or physical stress Wrongful death of a loved one Pain and suffering Loss of income due to injury Depending on who your case is against, you may either deal with representatives of the park or carnival itself, or possibly the insurance company that represents them. It is important to have a skilled attorney by your side to guarantee yourself the highest payout possible.

Search for: Search: Toxic Exposure Injury Lawyer – Oakland, CA Though often overlooked in our day to day lives, we are living in a time when we are very much at risk to be exposed to toxic substances that can result in severe injury or even death. Pollution, radiation, and other forms of chemical exposure can be very harmful to us in many ways, and can result in both short or long-term injuries. These kinds of injuries can not only cause potentially life-altering side effects, but can also prove to be very expensive in regards to the medical or legal process that may follow. Luckily, we understand this and are fully prepared to stand by your side to grant you a major financial payout if you are exposed to a harmful chemical. What is toxic exposure? Toxic exposure is what occurs when someone comes into close contact with any sort of substance that might cause harm to their physical health. Chemicals might prove to be harmful when they come into contact with or are consumed by the body. Toxic substances obviously include things that are present in hazardous waste disposal sites or other areas in which these chemicals are known to be present; however, some toxic substances can also be found in products that we use everyday. Some potential toxins that we might come into contact with include those found in cleaning products, fuel such as gasoline, gardening products, and pesticides. In the right conditions, any chemical can prove to be harmful to humans. It is also important to differentiate what is toxic versus what is hazardous. While a toxic substance can be harmful to your health, a hazardous material is dangerous due to its properties. For example, while a toxic substance can result in illness upon contact, a hazardous substance can explode or be flammable and must be handled with care. Certain chemicals such as gasoline often fall into both categories. What are ways in which I might come into contact with a toxic substance? There are several ways in which we might come into contact with a harmful substance. Anyone who works with chemicals for a living is always at risk to be exposed to a harmful substance, either through skin contact or inhaling. While safety effects are taken at these kinds of workplaces, they are sometimes not enough. Torn safety gloves, ill fitting goggles, or other faulty forms of equipment can lead to direct contact with skin or lungs and can result in severe external injuries or respiratory health issues. Outside of the work environment, there are many risks to toxic exposure at home or in other areas. Substances used in construction or home rehabilitation, such as insulation, often contain materials that can lead to serious health issues. Other ways one might come into contact with a harmful toxin include: Contaminated water Airborne pollutants Inhaled carcinogens Lead exposure What kind of injuries can I sustain from toxic exposure? The toxicity of certain substances varies, but is important if one wishes to understand the negative effects they are at risk of facing. The types of effects based on a chemical range from temporary symptoms like sneezing or vomiting to long-term health risks such a cancer. Potency is the range in which a toxin is armful, with some chemicals proving to have little to no effect on the body while others can potentially be lethal. When a chemical is consumed, it can be metabolized into smoothing potentially harmful to the body based on its properties and can result in certain diseases such as cancer or liver failure. The ways in which one might be exposed to a certain chemical are also important based on the way it might effect the person exposed; a chemical that is harmless upon contact to the skin might be potentially life-threatening if inhaled or ingested. As such, chemicals affect different areas of the body differently. Certain chemicals can cause specific harm to the respiratory system while having no effect on the digestive or reproductive systems; conversely, a substance harmful to the reproductive system may have little to no effect on the respiratory or digestive systems. If you experience any short or long-term health issues following potential exposure to a harmful substance, you should seek medical attention immediately. What are my options legally? If you are exposed to chemicals that cause you harm without your knowledge, you may be able to file suit against the entity that is potentially responsible. Polluters, chemical plants, or other potential offenders that may have caused you to be exposed to these kinds of toxins can all be held liable for your injuries or illnesses. Some reasons you may want to file suit include: Medical expenses Legal expenses Pain and Suffering Absence from work due to symptoms If a loved one dies as a a result of these effects, you may be able to sue for wrongful death. A wrongful death claim exists if you are able to prove that the cause of your loved one’s death was the result of any entity that may have been responsible for the initial exposure. Examples of these kinds of entities may include hospitals or consumer product manufacturers. You might also be able to sue the government for negligence if you are able to prove that they are at fault. Government agencies such as the EPA are responsible for minimizing the amount of toxic exposure and any failure to do so can result in the deaths of those infected. While only claims of negligence are allowed against the government, this can still result in a large financial payout.

Search for: Search: Bicycle Accident Lawyer – Oakland, CA Kleczek Law Office attorney David Kleczek advocates for bicyclists, pedestrians, and other road users. Cycling is a great form of exercise, environmentally friendly mode of transportation, and a fun hobby many people do recreationally. However, bicyclists face many threats while attempting to complete their daily bike route. For example, people in populous cities are forced to ride in various bike lanes which are often times located on busy streets; therefore, bicycle accidents are very common. So, when a cyclist is injured due to dangerous unforeseen conditions on the road, one is authorized to receive the compensation he or she deserves. Kleczek Law Office focuses on recovering expenses for the victim or a loved one involved in a bicycle accident because bicycle accidents can temporarily and permanently alter someone’s life. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the year 2011, 48,000 bicyclists were injured in traffic accidents. Additionally, 2.1% of all traffic crash deaths were represented by bicycle fatalities, and the majority of bicycle riders who were injured or killed were males. Sadly, one in ten people involved in a bicycle accident were children and alcohol was involved in more than 37% of bicycle deaths. It is important for drivers to understand and acknowledge the rights cyclists have when sharing the road with drivers. Different Types of Bicycle Accidents Motor vehicle and bicycle accidents are on the rise in major metropolitan areas. To avoid accidents and injuries, cyclists should ride safely and alert. Majority of collisions occur at intersections due to reckless driving and ignoring street signs. Many drivers fail to make cautious decisions while driving and forget that cyclists are also lawful users of the road. Cyclist accidents tend to occur when both drivers and cyclists do not observe their surroundings. Automobile drivers tend to not check before opening their car or truck doors before exiting their vehicle. Cyclists have little time to change direction, and as a result, the injuries are quite serious. Unfortunately, cyclists riding into automobile doors account for 8% of bicycle accidents. Following bicycle “dooring” accidents, various other bicycle accidents are also common. Bicycle lane accidents consist of cyclists riding along vehicle traffic on the road but in designated bike lanes. These lanes are not on every street, so on other streets, cyclists are forced to ride within traffic. Some causes of bicycle lane accidents include a car turning into a bicycle lane at the corner of an intersection. If a vehicle crosses into a cyclists lane, the cyclist struggles to quickly maneuver around the vehicle that is crossing into the lane. Another cause of bicycle accidents is drivers speeding. Certain drivers are convinced they can decrease the time of their commute, but when they do, they tend to aggressively or recklessly use driving techniques. Driving this way significantly increases one’s chances of causing a traffic collision. Failure of a driver to follow the rules of the road resulting in a bicycle traffic collision, he or she has the possibility of resulting in traffic or even criminal charges for his or her driving conduct. Road rage is defined as violent anger that stems from traffic conditions that often times leads to collisions. It is everyone’s responsibility when operating a motor vehicle to respond to any road situations in a calm, respectable manner. Road rage can affect cyclists, and if you ride a bicycle, it is your right to have your respected riding space and to have an area similar to the other vehicles on the road. Hit and run bicycle accidents are also very common, and the victim of a hit and run accident often times has to deal with the situation on their own because evidence can be lost very quickly. In most cases, if a cyclist owns a car, his or her insurance policy will cover the costs of a hit and run. The costs can include medical costs, lost wages, and other damages. Victims of hit and run accidents are often left traumatized, and if he or she has both emotional and physical damage, they should seek compensation for the bicycle accident. How to Avoid Bicycle Accidents Bicycles are considered dangerous on busy streets because cyclists are exposed to all the elements surrounding them while riding. There is little protection between the cyclists and other objects such as various vehicles, pedestrians, and other road obstacles. Common injuries include broken bones, spine injuries, brain injuries, head injuries, and serious lacerations. Therefore, Kleczek Law Office recommends its clients take precautions when riding a bicycle. Cyclists should take the road with caution and assume that drivers are not aware of their presence. Cyclists should wear proper attire; they should wear helmets, reflective clothing, and other protective gear. Additionally, cyclists should equip their bikes with reflective tape and lights. Lastly, cyclists should yield for pedestrians and obey traffic lights and stop signs. There has been a push recently to create safer conditions for cyclists within major cities. Bicycle paths and bicycle bridges have also become very common; however, cyclists still have to commute with cars and trucks and are constantly at a disadvantage due to lack of protection. Therefore, if you or a loved one are involved in a bicycle accident, you should find help at Kleczek Law Office because our lae firm is experienced in dealing with bicycle accidents. David Kleczek will help each victim recover damages to compensate for the losses involved in the accident.

Search for: Search: Dog Bite Lawyer – Oakland, CA Kleczek Law Office can help animal bite victims pursue compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other costs. Each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), roughly 4.7 million people are victims of an animal bite; out of this 4.7 million, one in five of these bites require medical attention. An animal bite can be both physically damaging and psychologically damaging. Victims often times develop a fear to the dog or animal and become emotionally distressed when the animal is present. If you, a child, or a loved one have been affected by a dog or animal bite, you should contact Kleczek Law Office to represent you or your loved one to fight for the compensation you deserve because attorney David Kleczek has the experience and resources needed to obtain such compensation. Who is considered liable for animal bites? California has strict liability for dog and animal bites. The state of California finds the dog or animal’s owner to be liable in the case of an animal bite accident. The owner is liable if the victim did not provoke the animal, and if the person who was bitten was not trespassing. It is difficult for someone who trespasses to receive compensation for any damages. Damages from animal bites can be both physically and mentally harmful; therefore, victims can be compensated for various damages including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, psychological counseling, and more. Additionally, any families of people who were killed by an animal bite can argue wrongful death damages and attempt to receive compensation that way. Kleczek Law Office can also argue wrongful death charges too. Seeking damages involves considerations of many different aspects, and it is best to involve your attorney at Kleczek Law Office as soon as possible following the accident. Visual scars are also traumatic to victims of animal bites because they serve as a constant reminder to the traumatic event. According to federal law, emotional pain in tandem with physical pain is justifiable suffering; however, emotional pain must be connected to physical pain to argue a legitimate compensation. What Makes Dogs and Animals Aggressive or Dangerous? Dogs and other animals can become aggressive and harmful to those around them because they can either be stressed, frightened, have an illness, and playfulness. A dog or other animal can become stressed if the dog senses that a person is invading its space or territory. A dog can become frightened if its startled or senses that their owner is being threatened. A dog’s illness can affect its actions and the dog may react by biting the person who is bothering it. Lastly, a dog can become dangerous if it’s simply playing. Sometimes dogs can mistake casual playfulness with aggression. Additionally, heredity, early life experience, and lack of socialization can also affect how aggressive and dangerous an animal can be. How to Prevent Animal Bites To prevent animal bites, Kleczek Law Office recommends taking a few precautions around animals that could potentially be labeled dangerous. These precautions include: Do not approach unfamiliar animals Always ask the owner for permission before you or a child pets such animal; therefore, allow the animal to sniff you before petting the animal If you are knocked down by a large animal, roll up into a ball on the ground and cover your ears and face as much as possible Do not pull something out of an animal’s mouth. For example, do not grab a chew toy, food, stick, or bone from the animal’s mouth Do not disturb an animal caring for her young Do not disturb an animal eating or sleeping Do not run from an animal and scream. You should remain motionless and avoid eye contact with a distressed animal If an animal attempts to attack you, place something between you and the animal such as a coat or purse to distract the animal A parent should teach their children to immediately report animal bites to the nearest adult. Additionally, children specifically should not play with a dog unless supervised by the adult who owns the dog What To Do If You Receive A Dog or Animal Bite? If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog or animal, the victim should immediately seek medical care at the nearest medical clinic. Those who were attacked or injured by the dog or animal will need to prove that the owner was negligent. In order to prove that the owner was negligent, the victim should note if the owner witnessed the attack or was not near the attack. The victim can also argue that the owner failed to stop the animal attack by failing to take reasonable steps to prevent the animal from harming others. However, the biggest concern following the dog or animal bite is infections and diseases. The victim of the animal bite will most likely receive vaccines that fight off infections such as rabies, pasteurella, tetanus, and more. These infections can cause swelling and even internal organ damage. What Will Happen To The Animal That Bit The Victim? For ten days following the dog bite, the dog will be quarantined and monitored. The dog will also be tested for the rabies virus. The dog will either be held at the county Animal Care Center or at the owner’s property. If the dog can prove that it is healthy and not a threat to people’s safety, then it will be allowed to continue living with the owner on his or her property. Dogs will not be euthanized if they are guilty of biting people. However, in California, the dog can be euthanized if the dog has bitten a person on at least two separate occasions or the dog was trained to attack and fight someone.

Search for: Search: Scooter Accident Lawyer – Oakland, CA Bird & Lime Scooter Accident & Injury Attorney Kleczek Law Office represents Bird and Lime Scooter accident victims. These electric scooters can be found in many metropolitan areas, college campuses, and communities looking to decrease automobile traffic and provide affordable transportation to all. By using an app, people can locate and rent these scooters for various trips. The app allows riders to unlock the scooter and then lock the scooter up wherever the trip may end. Riders have the ability to leave the scooters wherever their trip may end and are not required to leave the scooter in a particular spot. Even though Bird and Lime scooter companies emphasize the importance of safety while riding by encouraging its riders to wear helmets, accidents often still happen. Kleczek Law Office, represented by the experienced trial attorney, David Kleczek, focuses on helping those who have been personally injured while riding Bird and Lime scooters and those who have been injured by others riding Bird and Lime scooter riders. Bird and Lime scooter accidents are taking over emergency rooms across the nation. You can learn more HERE . The following include possible accidents that can occur while riding Bird or Lime scooters but are also not limited to the few situations mentioned. Often, riders can experience failure of electric scooter brakes to work. This is likely to happen if the scooters are not properly checked and manufactured before being available to Bird and Lime riders. Riders can experience loss of control of his or her scooter due to outside influences. For example, if there is a pothole or bump in the road rapidly approaching, riders may not have enough time to apply the brakes; therefore, injuries such as flipping over the handlebars have occurred in the past. Additionally, if riders are in areas where many pedestrians are present, this increases the risk of colliding with those pedestrians and other Bird or Lime riders. When Bird or Lime riders see many pedestrians along the walkway, these riders then tend to ride in the street, which are areas that are not safe for the riders to be in. Therefore, this can also increase the chances of a Bird or Lime scooter accident occurring. People driving automobiles such as cars and trucks have been known to collide with Bird and Lime riders. Those driving the automobile vehicles tend to collide with riders because the drivers were either not paying attention, driving faster than the speed limit, driving through red lights, driving while intoxicated, texting and driving, and more. Through extensive research, Kleczek Law Office recognizes the various accidents that have the potential of happening. Kleczek Law Office encourages its riders to acknowledge the risks one must take to complete a route provided by Bird or Lime scooters before ordering a ride on the app. Injuries from Bird and Lime scooters have been recorded across the nation.

Move from the site of the accident and on-coming traffic to prevent another accident from happening. Find and locate other people involved in the accident. Many Bird and Lime accidents often involve other people such as pedestrians, cyclists, motor vehicles and its drivers, and more. Determine if the other people involved in the accident should seek medical care as well. If property damage has occurred, contact local officials to report the accident.

We recommend writing down quick key points under the notes tab on your smartphone to remember the events later on when talking to your attorney.

Search for: Search: Uber / Lyft Accident Lawyer – Oakland, CA Have you been hurt or injured as a result of an Uber or Lyft ride sharing accident? We can help you get the justice and compensation you deserve! Ride sharing companies have exploded in the past few years, and with good reason. They are convenient, fast and economical. However, with the explosion of ride sharing services that depend on drivers focusing on their phone instead of the rode, serious accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers have likewise exploded. We have extensive experience in fighting and prevailing against these ride sharing companies. Typically, if you are injured while the Uber or Lyft driver is carrying a passenger (whether you are the passenger of the ride sharing company, or you were hit by a ride sharing company driver), they carry a $1,000,000.00 underlying policy. There is also an excess policy of at least $5,000,000.00. However, Uber and Lyft have tried to take the position recently that if the driver does not have a passenger at the time of a crash, then they do not cover the injuries resulting from the accident. At Kleczek Law Office we have successfully fought against these arguments because the Uber and Lyft drivers are still ‘working’ for the ride sharing companies, whether or not they have a passenger in tow. Uber and Lyft drivers are either looking to snag their next ride while staring at their phone (and continuing to drive), or traveling to pick up their next fare. Uber Accident Attorney Uber is a ride sharing, food delivery and transportation company based in San Francisco, California. They rose to popularity thanks to their easy-to-use mobile application (app), a piece of technology that easily allows individuals to order a vehicle for transportation anywhere and anytime they would like. Many people appreciate the convenience of the app and service because they can order a vehicle to pick them at any time of the day to go to the airport, sporting event, or anywhere else they may desire. To accomplish this, users simply enter a destination and the app sets up their pickup location and a vehicle is ordered. People love the fact that they can see how far away the driver is as well as approximately how long it will take for the vehicle to arrive. People who wish to avoid drinking and driving commonly state that they will “Uber” to their location in order to avoid doing so. Uber offers various levels of service to meet your needs, and they currently operate in around 633 cities worldwide. For more detailed information, you can visit Uber’s website at https://www.uber.com/ . Because opting for an Uber ride presents risks as well as benefits, it’s important to educate yourself about what could go wrong with your ride. In particular, understanding the risk for car accidents and what liability the driver and company hold is vital information to have in mind should you ever find yourself in a crash. With that in mind, let’s take a look at Uber and what to do if your driver ends up in an accident while you are in the vehicle. ARE UBER ACCIDENTS COMMON? It is important to note that while Uber does its best to promote safety, accidents are not exactly uncommon, and are certainly not unheard of. In fact, as the number of individuals using Uber and other rideshare options increases, so, too, does the number of accidents involving Uber drivers. While this figure might not be high enough to warrant swearing off the ridesharing company forever, it should be noted, nonetheless, that there is a risk every time you enter a vehicle. As we are a bit more concerned with what happens after the car accident occurs rather than exactly how many occur in any given week, we’ll move on from this discussion to one about the risks of Uber drivers and what causes them to end up in vehicle accidents. HOW CAN AN UBER ACCIDENTS OCCUR? The factors that impact Uber drivers and lead to accidents are much the same as those faced by other drivers on the road. Inattention, for example, is a big cause of vehicle accidents. The flow of traffic can change in an instant and it is necessary to drive attentively and respond to any dangers quickly and smoothly. When this fails to happen, car accidents are invariably the result. One common cause of inattention while driving is texting or talking while driving. While it is relatively uncommon to encounter an Uber driver who is texting while driving clients to or from their destination, it is certainly not unheard of. Additionally, even maintaining small talk can take attention from the road. Another factor in Uber accidents is the desire on the driver’s part to complete as many runs as possible. The more individuals drivers are able to help, the more money they make. This can lead to drivers rushing from place to place in an attempt to continue moving passengers at as fast a speed as possible. As you might imagine, this can increase the risk for accidents quite significantly. WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF RIDING IN AN UBER? While making the decision to ride or drive in any vehicle carries its share of risks, there are some risks with Uber that are especially serious. For one thing, while Uber does have a screening process in place to help ensure that their drivers have good driving records, the check doesn’t always reach as far back as would be necessary to guarantee that the drivers in question have truly “clean” records. This can result in irresponsible drivers being granted the ability to drive individuals to and from various locations every day. If you were in an accident with an Uber driver, it is always a good idea to reach out to a professional who understands how to look into their backgrounds to determine whether or not Uber was negligent in their screening responsibilities. DO UBER DRIVER’S HAVE INSURANCE? Uber is notorious for failing to provide their drivers with enough information regarding their insurance situation. While Uber drivers do have insurance, it only applies in very specific circumstances. To be a bit more exact, there are three periods of time during which Uber will recognize and take into consideration when determining which level of their insurance applies. When a driver is waiting for a request, they are not entirely insured by Uber. When they have picked up a customer or are on their way to picking up a customer are the next two periods during which Uber’s insurance should, ideally, full cover any accidents that occur. The answer to the question, then, is “yes, but it’s complicated”. Additionally, your driver’s own insurance might not cover the gaps in the insurance that Uber provides. ARE UBER RIDES SAFE? Many individuals use Uber often without ending up in an accident. It is important to keep in mind that safety and risk are relative when looking at car accidents. Is driving your own vehicle in busy traffic “safe”? Additionally, keep in mind that the answer to this question also depends upon what area of the process you are looking at.

Search for: Search: Fire Injury Lawyer – Oakland, CA While the thought of being in a fire may rarely cross our minds, we may one day find ourselves in this unfortunate circumstance. A fire can occur any time at any place; a car fire, a kitchen accident, a faulty furnace, or other incidents can result in severe pain and injury that may never fully heal. If you are involved in a fire that is caused by someone else’s neglect or fault, you can be awarded a financial payout. While we cannot fix your injuries, we can help you to earn the maximum compensation to which you are entitled. What are the most common causes of fires? Some of the most common causes of fires are things that we use everyday. The most common causes of house fires are located in your kitchen. A kitchen fire can be started over the stove, as pots or pans can be the source of an outbreak if cooking is left unattended. In order to avoid a fire outbreak in the kitchen, it is important that one must always be present in the kitchen if there is an open flame. Other causes of fires are located in the kitchen as well, including microwaves and stoves. The most common cause of fires starting in microwaves involve certain materials that were not meant to be placed in these kinds of appliances. Any form of metal or aluminum that is placed in microwave can result in a fire outbreak that could eventually spread to something far worse. Outside of the kitchen, a house fire can be caused by other everyday occurrences, such as smoking in the house. Should a cigarette not be put out properly, this can very well result in a fire starting. Fires started in a living room or bedroom make up over 70% of all house fires, with cigarettes being among the most common causes. Of course, any open flame is a risk for a fire, and some of the most common in homes include candles or fireplaces. Like a stove top, these can very well lead to a fire breaking out if they are left unattended. As such, it is important to keep watch on any open flame in a room with flammable objects such as furniture or wood. Homes are not the only pace where a fire can occur; workplace fires are very common as well. Often, a workplace fire can be caused by something as unpredictable as faulty wiring or equipment. Dangerous electrical fires can occur anywhere from a warehouse to an office, which is why they are among the most common types of workplace fires. If proper safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers or overhead sprinklers, are not in place at the time of an outbreak, the fire may only continue to grow and will be more likely to result in serious injury or death to those in its vicinity. What legal benefits am I entitled to if I am injured in a fire? In California, the statute of limitations grants an injury victim two years to file a claim. If you are injured in a fire, you are likely entitled to financial compensation if it can be proved that you were not the one at fault. If this can be proven, it is important to proceed with a skilled attorney by your side, as you can be entitled for compensation in many areas, including: Medical Expenses Legal Expenses Property Damage Pain and Suffering If a loved one is killed in a fire as a result of someone else at fault, you may also pursue legal action on the basis of wrongful death. While we cannot replace your loved one, we can grant your the justice that you deserve in the form of financial compensation. What qualifies as ‘pain and suffering ’ in regards to burn injuries? Injuries resulting from a fire are likely to fall into the legal category of what is referred to as “pain and suffering.” Pain and suffering falls into two categories: physical and mental. The physical pain and suffering that will result from the fire can take the form of second or third-degree burns and may also result in permanent scarring on the victim that may never fully heal. The judge of your case will likely examine medical records as well as the lasting damage that has resulted on the victim; therefore, it is important to file your claim as soon as possible so that any physical evidence can be easily presented during your case. Mental pain and suffering is different in that it involves the likeliness of the victim suffering from the trauma of the fire well into the future.

Our law firm has the resources and experience needed to handle even the most complex cruise ship accident and injury claims.

Cruise ships must protect their passengers from physical harm whenever possible and they have a duty to make sure their passengers arrive safely to port.

Search for: Search: Truck Accident Lawyer – Oakland, CA Have you been injured in a truck accident? Most full size tractor-trailers weigh in excess of 80,000 pounds and travel at speeds, legally, up to 70 mph. When a car or SUV is involved in a collision with one of these tractor-trailers, the occupants of the smaller vehicle are often seriously injured while the operator of the tractor-trailer walks away unscathed. If you or someone you love has sustained a catastrophic injury, or even death, in a trucking accident, contact my firm Kleczek Law Office today. I am an experienced trial attorney who focuses my practice on personal injury claims. I have years of experience handling catastrophic tractor-trailer cases all over the country. Act now! Do not speak to the insurance companies without calling me first. Everything you say to the insurance companies can and will be used against you. Contact an experienced truck accident attorney at Kleczek Law Office. Contact our law firm to schedule a free initial consultation. Do I Need an Attorney? Yes. Trucking accidents are extremely complex and aggressively defended by the trucking company and their insurance carrier. The moment a tractor-trailer is involved in any type of collision, their insurance company is sending investigators to the scene and to question witnesses, and examine the physical evidence. It is important that from the onset you hire a firm that knows what needs to be done to preserve critical evidence. Trucking accident cases are extremely document intensive and without an attorney the documents that you need to protect your rights may be destroyed. Evidence that I will demand be preserved includes: Truck’s black box Truck inspection records Driver alcohol and drug testing records Driver logs The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA) governs all semi-tractor-trailers and most smaller trucks. Vehicles governed by the FMCSA must adhere to strict recordkeeping requirements. Carriers, or those that employ drivers of vehicles governed by the FMCSA, must screen and train their drivers to ensure safe operation on the nation’s highways. Small Trucks and Busses Even when you’re involved in a collision with a smaller box-type truck, there are important aspects of the FMCSA that can apply. California has adopted many of the federal standards. Carriers and operators subject to the FMCSA must maintain driver logs, driver records and driver drug tests. These records may be destroyed, sometimes only after six months, so it is important to contact an attorney soon so that these records are not destroyed. Getting You the Compensation That You Deserve When you or a loved one face tragic loss from a tractor-trailer collision, you need to make sure you and your family are financially taken care of in the long run. The FMCSA governs the operation of the tractor-trailer and the carrier themselves. There are federally mandated insurance policies carriers must maintain. The federal minimum liability insurance is $750,000 per occurrence. However, there are many different avenues of recovery that may allow an injured party to recover many times more than the minimum policy. In trucking cases, every possible path of financial recovery is often required to make the victims whole, and at Kleczek Law Office, we have the experience and drive necessary to ensure every aspect of liability is examined.

Search for: Search: Motorcycle Accident Lawyer – Oakland, CA Motorcyclists wear little protective equipment to shield themselves from the impact of a collision between themselves and another vehicle. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in the year 2015, 4,976 people were killed, and 88,000 people were injured in motorcycle crashes. Each year, the fatality rate is increasing, and the number of motorcycles on the road are also increasing; therefore, consulting an attorney regarding a motorcycle accident is the smart thing to do! The amount of damages following a motorcycle accident can be severe; a number of factors determine how much a motorcycle accident victim can be compensated. The amount of compensation a victim can earn usually depends on the severity of motorcycle injuries and whether those injuries affect the victim’s basic, daily function. Kleczek Law Office is committed to helping victims receive the compensation he or she deserves following the traumatic event. Prove That It Was Not Your Fault In order for the victim of the motorcycle accident to recover compensation for the injuries, the motorcyclist must argue that the driver of the vehicle was responsible for causing the crash. Many times the victim can argue that the driver failed to keep their focus on the road. The driver could have been distracted and failed to yield to the motorcyclist, or the driver was speeding and decided to ignore traffic signs and stop lights. Additionally, if the driver operated the vehicle impaired or intoxicated, the driver could fail to keep the proper distance between each vehicle. Many motorcycle accidents involve left-turn crashes and rear-end accidents happening in busy intersections. However, the most dangerous type of motorcycle crash is head-on collisions. Get The Compensation You Deserve! Once you and your attorney prove that the accident was not your fault, it is time to evaluate the various things that you can gain compensation for following this traumatic event. Motorcycle accidents are very serious and often times leave the victim impaired for life due to lack of protection between the motorcyclist and the other vehicle. The following shows the list of possible arguments you and your attorney at Kleczek Law Office can argue to gain compensation from the accident. If the victim is left temporarily impaired and needs to take a leave of absence from his or her work place, then the victim may be unable to receive his or her wage when not working. The victim is then left with little to no steady source of income. Most victims need the money that they are not receiving because they need the money to pay for medical expenses following the accident. Most injuries from a motorcycle accident impair one’s brain and spinal cord which both affect the victim’s daily function; therefore, injuries to these parts of the body does alter the victim’s life forever. Rehabilitation services can help the victim gain function back, but often times, the victim must complete rehab for the remainder of his or her life. Other injuries that are common are nerve damages, loss of limbs, fractured bones, and road rash. Medical treatment can be covered by insurance, but usually, not the whole cost of all medical treatment needed to fully recover. Therefore, with the help of Kleczek Law Office, a motorcycle accident victim is more likely to get the compensation he or she deserves following the accident with the skilled attorney, David Kleczek, who strategically evaluates the victim’s case to determine the best course of action. Often times, motorcycle accidents have property damage near the site of the accident or on the vehicles themselves. Compensation for mechanical repair costs are usually necessary to recover the well-being of the victim’s motorcycle. A person’s pain and suffering can never be fully recovered, but hopefully, with the resources available one can learn to deal with the traumatic event using the compensation he or she was awarded following the case. Sadly, if a motorcycle accident does indeed lead to a loved one’s death, the victim’s family can receive compensation by arguing a wrongful death case which can also be represented by David kleczek at Kleczek Law Office. What Kleczek Law Office Does To Help To help conduct a strong case, Kleczek Law Office will order police reports and take statements from witnesses of the crash. Following the accident, the victim should take photos of all of the damages as soon as possible. Specifically, the victim should take photos of their motorcycle, property damages, and damages of the opposite vehicle. The victim should take note of his or her surroundings to see if there are any traffic stoplight cameras close to the accident or on buildings near the scene of the accident. Reviewing video footage of the accident will also help determine what caused the accident and who was at fault. The victim should also keep a record of all medical bills and records with the insurance company to attempt to gain the largest compensation possible. Kleczek Law Office focuses on recovering compensation for the victim to give his or her the financial well-being they deserve. Contact A Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawyer People involved in a motorcycle accident often suffer from not only physical injuries, but emotional pain as well. The victim and the victim’s family often attempt to receive compensation to cover medical expenses and any emotional rehabilitation to recover from the traumatic accident. A motorcycle accident is often a life-changing event. It can leave the victim impaired for life physically and emotionally and can often times cause a loss of income during a leave of absence from work.

Search for: Search: Negligent Security Lawyer – Oakland, CA Everyone wants to feel safe in his or her environment; however, sadly individuals can have a false sense of security. When a person thinks they are safe but are technically not, this is negligent security. Populated areas in California such as Downtown Los Angeles, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills are most likely to have negligent security incidences. Recently, there has also been a rise in negligent security acts on college campuses. If you or a loved one has recently experienced a criminal act of negligent security, then you should call David Kleczek at Kleczek Law Office to get the financial legal assistance you or a loved one might need. What Is Negligent Security? Negligent security describes a situation where you or a loved one becomes the victim of a criminal attack while on someone else’s property. Criminal attacks can be very violent and in the form of assault, shooting, rape or robbery. An example of negligent security is a person being robbed at gunpoint as he or she is removing money at an ATM machine. Another example would be, an assault within a hotel room or the lobby of an apartment building. The most common places for negligent security violence to occur is commercial properties such as bars, nightclubs, hospitals, and other medical offices, public parking garages, apartment buildings, and more. The following is a list of various negligent security acts that the victims of such violent criminal acts can argue… Lack of adequate lighting Lack of security cameras Inadequately trained security officers Lack of proper locks on windows Lack of proper locks on doors Lack of security alarms Who Is At Fault? According to the law, the businesses or establishment’s themselves, are responsible for creating a safer environment. So for example, if people at one particular bank in the community keep getting robbed, it is the bank’s duty to provide for its people by supplying surveillance cameras and security guards to create a safe, welcoming environment. If the establishment owners fail to improve his or her business, then you have the right to hold the owners responsible. David Kleczek at Kleczek Law Office will begin managing your case by examining a few key points. David Kleczek, an experienced attorney, will look into prior criminal activity at or near the scene of the crime. If there has been a history of criminal activity such as assaults and mugging in the establishment or in the surrounding areas, the property owners were supposed to increase the establishments security. Another question Kleczek will examine is whether the site of the violent criminal activity was properly lighted during the time the crime occurred. Lastly, Kleczek will review if there was a satisfactory alarm system or surveillance system in place pointing in the direction of the crime. Even though there are several circumstances that can create unsafe conditions, the property owners will continue to be held at fault if they fail to create safe environments for their clients. If the establishment owners did not follow these three key points, then criminal activity in these cases are considered foreseeable and avoidable. However, if you are inside your own home and are a victim of negligent security, Kleczek Law Office can help you too because negligent security accidents can happen if security cameras and systems are considered faulty. Each and every case is different and unique to the victim; therefore, contacting Kleczek Law Office is recommended as soon as possible following the accident and any medical attention the victim may have needed. How Can Kleczek Law Office Help The Victims of Negligent Security? Since property owners tend to be blamed for these violent criminal attacks, the property owners will then attempt to argue the victim. The following lists a few things the property owner can use against the victim in a court of law. The owner can argue the absence of duty meaning the property owner feels he or she does not owe the victim of this criminal act anything. The owner can argue adequate security meaning the property owner provides its customers or clients with adequate security resources. The owner can also argue contributory negligent meaning that the property owner will take some of the blame but not all of the blame. The property owner is arguing that the victim is essentially at fault because he or she did not take precautionary measures to keep themselves from harm. In order for the victim to avoid these charges, he or she should contact Kleczek Law Office to seek the necessary assistance needed to gain the compensation the victim deserves. Additionally, victims of negligent security crimes should seek legal assistance to get compensated for everything the victim had to go through. Negligent security crimes can leave the victim physically and psychologically hurt. Many times, the victim needs medical assistance because the victim experienced physical trauma such as assault or rape. If someone is a victim of negligent security crimes, the victim should seek out psychological help to process the traumatic events that occurred. The following is a list of injuries one can receive following a negligent security act: sprains bruises Lacerations Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Gunshot wounds Injuries from sexual assault Compensation for medical costs, property damage, and pain and suffering is possible for those who are victims of negligent security acts.

Search for: Search: California Vaccine Injury Lawyer National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Just like any medical procedure – there are risks involved when being vaccinated. Vaccine injures can be serious and life threatening. The federal government understands these risks, and to encourage the continued use of vaccines has established the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. This program makes it easier for people to receive compensation for vaccine connected injuries. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was started to provide compensation to the victims of vaccine injuries and their families. Over $2 billion has been paid to those who have made claims following their injuries, but many people have not filed due to the lack of public awareness of the program. The federal government has set up a “no fault’ system. To receive compensation, the injured party or person must only show they were vaccinated by one of the covered vaccines and that the vaccine caused the injury. Qualifications for the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program If you or a loved one has been injured following a vaccination, you may be entitled to compensation if you meet any of the below criteria. A loved one died suddenly following the administration of a vaccine The vaccine is included in the list of Vaccine Injury Compensation Program covered vaccines – please see a list Your claim is filed within two years of a loved one’s passing, three years of an injury or four years if your loved one suffered an injury which ultimately resulted in that persons death Your injury followed a vaccination and lasted for six months or resulted in the need for emergency medical care and / or surgery Covered Vaccines Haemophilus (influenzae type b) Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Human papillomavirus (HPV) Measles Meningococcal Mumps Pertussis Pneumococcal conjugate Polio Rotavirus Rubella Tetanus Trivalent influenza Varicella The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services updates this list as new vaccines become available and are recommended for routine administration. Benefits of Hiring an Attorney Following a Vaccination Injury The government does not require you to have legal counsel in order to make a claim against the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program but there are several reasons why having am attorney represent you is in your best interest. An experienced vaccine lawyer is able to perform a thorough investigation that will help you recover information about your case that may swing it in your favor and increase its value. Your lawyer can ensure that you are able to receive the maximum amount of compensation possible by gathering and present all of the facts and information. Lack of representation would preclude you from receiving court costs and you may owe money if you lose your case. If you are represented, the government will cover all court costs for you regardless of whether you win your case and receive a claim. The government has made it more difficult recently for people filing claims to receive compensation. Having a lawyer represent your interests and defending your rights can be a great help should the government attempt to delay or deny your claim. Your attorney is free unless you receive compensation. The government covers your court costs when making a claim and pays for the cost of your representation. Since the government is offering to pay for your attorney, you may as well have one. The majority of those who are harmed by vaccinations are completely unaware of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. If cases were publicized, it would encourage more people to refuse vaccinations out of fear of adverse effects and medical complications. If you or a loved one received a vaccination that caused an adverse reaction, injury or death, contact the Kleczek Law Office for help. Our vaccine injury lawyers will arrange for a free consultation to gather the information needed to investigate your case. We will answer your questions about your rights, the legal process and exactly what you should expect throughout the process. CALL TODAY FOR HELP!

Slip-and-falls or trip-and-falls can happen inside or outside of the property, and be caused by conditions such as: Wet floors Defective or uneven flooring Defective stairs Defective escalator or elevator Debris or objects in aisles or pathways Most people do not realize that if they fall in a retail store, the store is not automatically responsible for the medical bills they incurred as a result of their slip-and-fall. The retail store knows this, and requests you fill out an accident report. This information helps the retail store build their defense. The only way to hold a store responsible for injuries after falling on their property is to prove that they had actual or constructive knowledge of a dangerous condition. There are several ways of proving a store or property owner knew or should have known of the hazardous condition that caused your fall. Hiring a lawyer experienced in handling slip-and-fall claims is essential to maximizing your recovery.

Search for: Search: Skydiving Injury Lawyer – Oakland, CA Skydiving Accident & Injury Attorney If those who provide … recreational sports services believe the viability of their particular industry rests upon the ability to secure valid releases of liability for future gross negligence — that is, exoneration for the providers’ failure to employ even “slight care,” or for an “extreme departure” from the ordinary standard of conduct — the proper forum in which to present that policy argument, and to seek that broad protection, is the Legislature. ( City of Santa Barbara v. Superior Court (2007) 41 Cal.4th 747, 777–778.) Growing up in Antioch, California in the 1980’s, I dreamed of skydiving as I watched from my backyard as the skydiv- ers floated down to the earth and landed at the old Antioch Airport. I no longer yearn to jump out of airplanes, but not because I am older and wiser; but because I know that the industry is inherently dangerous. Skydiving itself is NOT inherently dan- gerous. It can be done safely. However, the skydiving industry refuses to accept responsibility for the safety of those who skydive. Instead of focusing on ways to make skydiving safe for all, the skydiving industry focuses on ways to implement enforceable waivers, covenants not to sue, and releases of liability. Skydiv- ing industry “safety” conferences focus how skydiving “drop zone” operators can defend themselves from lawsuits. After handling my first skydiving case, I quickly discovered that skydiving drop zones’ safety programs consist primarily of obtaining waivers from their customers. The United States Parachute Association (USPA) is a private organization that has no regulatory authority yet purports to govern the skydiving industry. The USPA is to skydiving what the Federal Avia- tion Administration (FAA) is to aviation. The USPA issues an annual Skydiver’s Information Manual (SIM). The SIM “pro- vides basic skydiving standards (the Basic Safety Requirements) and recommenda- tions agreed upon by the USPA members for the conduct of safe and enjoyable skydiving.” (2020-21 USPA Skydiver’s Information Manual, page iii.) “However, the recommendations contained herein, unless otherwise stated (such as in the case of compliance with a Federal Avia- tion Regulation), are put forth as guidance and are not mandatory.” ( Ibid .) Skydivers maintain that skydiving is a self-regulated sport, and should remain free of any fed- eral or state oversight. “Voluntary compliance with these pro- cedures [SIM] will protect the best inter- ests of both the participants and the general public.” (2020-21 USPA Skydiver’s Infor- mation Manual, page 6.) It is hard to see how “voluntary compliance” is in the best interests of anyone except the drop zone operators, but that is how the industry is currently structured; it is self-regulated. Neither the federal nor state govern- ments regulate, inspect, or in any way monitor skydiving activities. That is, until an accident happens. When someone is injured or killed, local police and the FAA are often called to investigate. However, the FAA does not have any authority to regulate actual skydiving operations. The FAA investigation is a fact finding mis- sion only. The skydiving community is generally more hostile to lawsuits than most indus- tries. There is a sense amongst skydivers that any amount of oversight, whether judicial or legislative, should be avoided at all costs. All too often when a skydiving incident results in injury or death, the cul- pability of the drop zone or any of the non- injured participants is ignored and brushed under the rug. The industry focuses on “personal responsibility” and believes that any accident must be the responsibility of the injured or deceased person. It is this attitude which leads to a high rate of injuries in the skydiving industry. In 2019, the odds of being injured or killed in a skydiving accident was 1 in every 1,310 jumps. ( https://uspa.org/ Find/FAQs/Safety .) With an estimated 3.3 million jumps in 2019, that amounts to over 2,500 injuries and deaths a year. ( https://uspa.org/find/faqs/safety .) There are opportunities to reduce these num- bers, but the USPA and its members must examine their approach to safety and drop zone responsibility first. HURDLES TO ADDRESS WHEN EVALUATING SKYDIVING INJURY CASES When you notify the drop zone operator of your representation, you are going to receive a copy of the release as well as a strongly worded letter notifying you that there is no applicable insurance coverage, that the wavier protects the drop zone, and that your lawsuit will be met with a counterclaim. Neither the federal nor state governments regulate, inspect, or in any way monitor skydiving activities. It is true that there is no liability insur- ance in the skydiving industry that com- pensates skydivers for injuries caused by the drop zone or its agents. It is therefore necessary in skydiving cases to personally name all those that might bear responsibil- ity for the incident to potentially invoke personal homeowners or umbrella cover- ages. This includes the pilot, the crew, the drop zone operators, managers, and any instructors. Most drop zones have large hangers that contain several aircraft they own and use for their skydiving activities. The tail num- bers of each of these aircraft can be used to find out the owners of the aircraft and lead to the names of other individuals or entities that might be liable. In more cases than not, there are assets to pay for your client’s injuries, but there is no insurance. Often the FAA will investigate a sky- diving accident and prepare a report that appears on its face to be helpful to your case. Note, though, the FAA report itself is not admissible. Federal employees are usually not subject to state deposition or trial subpoenas and will not cooperate. In the event the parachute malfunctioned, the FAA will hire a master parachute rigger to inspect and prepare a report relating to the condition of the parachute. The master parachute rigger is an indepen- dent contractor, and their report, findings, notes, photographs, etc., are admissible and discoverable. HOW TO WIN A SKYDIVING LAWSUIT Often, skydiving waivers are the best maintained product at the drop zone. The waiver will be the main defense in the case. Part of the defense’s playbook in skydiving cases is to file a cou
