Although the general concepts of personal injury are pretty much universal across the country, each state has exclusive laws that will have an effect on the outcome of your case. Our Santa Monica personal injury attorney can further inform you of your rights as they relate to the facts of your particular case. Negligence In general, when a person fails to use reasonable care, either through his actions or inactions, and that failure causes injury, that act is considered to be negligence. Under California law, in order to prove negligence, you must prove that you were owed a duty by the person who actually caused your injury and that he or she breached that duty. Additionally, it must be shown that the person’s failure to fulfill the duty owed was what caused your injury and that you, in fact, suffered damages. If you believe that you have suffered an injury due to someone’s negligence, you should seek the assistance of a Santa Monica personal injury attorney. Liability In the case of defective products, strict liability (rather than negligence) usually applies. Products may be defective for many reasons, to include a manufacturer’s use of low-grade or poor quality materials, flawed assembly, or a design defect. In California, several elements must exist in order to prove strict liability. For instance, it must be shown that the product at issue was defective and unreasonably hazardous, even when properly used. If the defective nature of the product is clear, the hazard stemming from that defect should not have been something that was “open and obvious” or clearly evident, such that you could have avoided being injured from it. However, if the defect was not obvious, then it must be clear that the defect was what caused your injury and that you suffered damages because of that injury. Our Santa Monica personal injury attorneys are skilled in determining whether or not you have a compelling case that is court-worthy. Compensation Compensation for personal injuries in the state of California can be granted for things such as past, current, and future medical expenses; loss of income; disability and disfigurement; pain and suffering; emotional distress; and other associated costs that have been incurred as a direct result of your injury. However, keep in mind that California utilizes the principle of comparative negligence, which means that if you were in any way responsible for your injuries, your compensation will be reduced by the amount of your blame, percentage-wise. Still, you have the right to sue for the remaining portion of fault, even if you were 95% to blame for the accident. Contact Our Santa Monica Personal Injury Attorney If you have been injured due to another person&#8217;s negligence, an experienced Santa Monica personal injury attorney may be able to help. Please call Martin Stanley at 310-399-2555 for a consultation regarding your possible case.

Accidents that result from defective or dangerous property inside or outside any building are considered premises liability. Premises liability accidents often take place at commercial buildings, such as stores and office buildings, but they may also take place at private residences, residential rentals, or public property. Premises may have a variety of risk factors, including faulty design and construction, low quality building materials, dangerous clutter, or poor maintenance. These premises may cause accidents such as falling, tripping, slipping, or fallen object injuries. If you were injured by a dangerous property condition, there are various people who may be held liable for your injuries. A Santa Monica personal injury lawyer may be able to help you determine who to file a claim against. Basic Liability Rules There are two main types of rules used to determine liability in a premises accident. The first rule states that the owner of any property is responsible for maintaining a safe property. Any owner or occupier of a property is legally obligated to provide safe conditions for anyone entering the property as a tenant, shopper, or personal, or business visitor. Such people may not be placed at an unreasonable risk of injury due to the property&#8217;s design, construction, or general condition. The reasoning behind this liability is that the owner of the property has control over the safety of the premises while you, the visitor, do not. If the owner of a shopping complex does not fix a broken tile piece, he or she is responsible if you trip and fall on the tile. The second rule of liability is that you must use the property normally. This means that if you were injured during unauthorized or unexpected use of the property, the property owner or occupier is not liable. Likewise, the owner is not liable for your injuries if they were sustained during reckless or careless behavior, such as sliding down the stair rail. A Santa Monica personal injury lawyer may be able to help you prove that you were not acting recklessly in a premises accident. Injured Employees Property owners also have an obligation to provide a safe environment for workers on their property. If you were injured at work, you would have to file a worker&#8217;s compensation claim instead of a private injury claim. Employees who are injured on property in a place where they do not work may file a personal injury claim against the owner like anyone else. Contact a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer for more information on whether your claim meets the standards of worker&#8217;s compensation or personal injury law. Owner or Occupier Responsibility When a property has both an owner and an occupier, such as a home being rented from a landlord, liability may vary. If the owner and occupier are different people, it can be difficult to determine who bears responsibility. You should always file a notice of claim against both parties. The insurance companies will then determine which party is responsible for damages caused by your accident. Commercial Property If you sustain injuries at a store or other business, the owner&#8217;s liability may depend on where the accident occurred as well as the terms of the lease or other business contract with regard to liability. You should always notify the business of your accident and any injuries you sustained as soon as possible. Either the insurance company of the business will directly handle your claim or will pass it along to the owner&#8217;s insurance company. Private Residences If you are a tenant in a rented apartment and you are injured on the property, the party responsible for maintaining the property is responsible for your injury. Landlords are responsible for everything outside the apartment, including hallways, stairs, entrances and immovable objects inside the apartment, including floors, walls, fixtures, and appliances. You are responsible for anything that is movable inside the apartment, including appliances you brought into the apartment. If you were aware of a dangerous condition within the apartment, such as a broken floorboard, you may be liable for your own injuries if you did nothing to change the condition. You may also be held liable for any injury to another person that was caused by the dangerous condition. If you are injured in a private residence due to a defective condition within the home, the owner of the home is responsible for your injuries. If the home is a rental, the tenant may also hold liability. Adjoining Property Accidents Accidents that occur on the edge of two properties, such as between the yards of two neighbors or on a cracked sidewalk, liability may be difficult to determine. In such cases, you should file a claim against the owners of both properties. The owners and their insurance companies will then work out which one is responsible for your claim. A Los Angeles personal injury lawyer may be able to provide clarity as to which party is responsible for your accident.

Every year across California and the United States, thousands of people are injured by products they use. The law governing such injuries is slightly different than for that of other types of personal injury cases; the difference often makes the process easier for you to recover damages. When you have been injured by a dangerous or defective product, you may be able to sue the manufacturers, sellers, and others responsible for putting that product in the marketplace. Under the law, a product you use must carry with it an ordinary expectation of its safety. When the product instead poses a hazard or risk that should not have been reasonably expected, you may have grounds to sue for your injuries. Who Is Responsible? One of the first tasks your LA product liability lawyers will have is to determine all of the players who should be named as defendants to your lawsuit. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you were not the person who actually purchased the product. If you were injured by it, you can sue for your injuries even if it was purchased by someone else. Your LA product liability lawyers will start by identifying all parties who were responsible for bringing the product through the chain of distribution to the store where it was sold. Potential defendants can include the manufacturer of the product, a component manufacturer, an assembly company, a wholesaler, and the retail store where it was purchased. Any of these parties may be held to be strictly liable, which implies that they may be responsible for paying your damages even if they were not specifically aware of the danger posed by it. In order for this theory to hold, though, the product must have been sold in the regular conduct of business. Product Defect Types On your behalf, your LA product liability lawyers will need to be able to show that the product was defective, the defect in it caused your injuries, and that it was unreasonably hazardous. There are three main types of product defects, which can include defects in design which existed from the start, defects in manufacturing, and marketing defects. Proving Responsibility If your case involves a strict liability claim, you and your LA product liability lawyers will only need to demonstrate that the product was defective. In this scenario, you will not need to prove that the defendants were negligent. In other cases, the law has a legal theory that shifts the burden of proof to the defendants. They would be required to prove they were not negligent, rather than your having to prove they were. Unavoidably Unsafe Products As your LA product liability lawyers will explain, there are certain types of products that cannot be made safe. For example, knives must be sharp or they couldn&#8217;t be used to cut things. For those types of products, your lawyers will examine whether appropriate safety warnings were given. If they were not, you still might have a case. Common Defenses You should expect that the defendants you name in your lawsuit will defend against it. Often, they might try to argue that you have not identified the correct responsible parties who supplied it. This argument is often raised because plaintiffs have to identify the companies that actually manufactured and supplied the product. When your injury was caused by a medication you took, however, an exception may apply. It is sometimes impossible to identify which pharmaceutical company actually supplied the drug needed to manufacture the medication, and so the companies can share responsibility according to their market shares. Another common defense you might expect is the product manufacturer’s claim that you somehow altered the product in a way that made it dangerous. Similarly, they might try to argue that the manner in which you used the product was itself an unreasonable use, rendering the product dangerous. Contact LA Product Liability Lawyers These types of cases are difficult. You should expect that you might have to use experts to demonstrate that the product was defective. Identifying the correct theories upon which your claim should be based as well as identifying all of the potential defendants can be a complex process. You should seek out legal help if you have been injured by a defective product. Your attorney may be better-equipped to identify all the potential legal grounds and to track down all of the defendants who should be named. Legal assistance can help make it more likely you will be successful. To schedule a consultation with the LA product liability lawyers at Martin Stanley Law, call our office at 310-399-2555 today.

Cerebral palsy is often a result of medical malpractice and birth injuries during childbirth and is believed to be caused by a lack of oxygen to the infant&#8217;s brain during labor. Cerebral palsy has lifelong consequences on infants and their parents, including a variety of related health issues. Cerebral Palsy Cerebral palsy is a term used to describe a variety of neurological disorders that restrict body movement and affect muscle coordination. Some cases of cerebral palsy are not caused by medical malpractice , but most children with the condition had it from birth. Cerebral palsy is considered a non-progressive or non-worsening health condition, so it cannot become more severe over time. The condition occurs in approximately one in every 1,000 births in the United States and Europe. Our Los Angeles birth injury lawyer who is knowledgeable in cerebral palsy may be able to help you file a successful claim if your child suffers from cerebral palsy. Potential Causes There are many potential causes of cerebral palsy developed at birth, including hypoxia and asphyxia. Hypoxia occurs when the brain is starved of oxygen, while asphyxia occurs when the body is starved of oxygen. These conditions may occur during a premature delivery or birth trauma. Medical mistakes during childbirth may lead to traumatic injury that results in cerebral palsy. While many hospitals and medical teams act with a high level of professional care during delivery, accidents still occur and have lifelong consequences. If you or your child developed cerebral palsy at birth, common medical mistakes such as the failure to detect infections in the mother during pregnancy may be to blame. Other mistakes include failure to properly monitor the fetal heartbeat, failure to notice and correct a prolapsed umbilical cord, failure to plan a cesarean section procedure when the infant is too large to pass safely through the birth canal, delay in performing a medically necessary caesarean section, and negligent or unreasonable mistakes. Unreasonable mistakes include using a vacuum and forceps during the delivery process. Forms of Cerebral Palsy The three most common types of neurological disorders that fit under the cerebral palsy term include spastic, athetoid, and ataxic. Spastic cerebral palsy accounts for approximately 80 percent of all cerebral palsy cases. This form is characterized by stiffness and restricted movement due to tightness in one or more of the muscle groups. If you have spastic cerebral palsy, you may have difficulty changing positions or holding onto and releasing objects. Atheoid cerebral palsy is rarer, occurring in 10 percent of cerebral palsy cases. This form is characterized by involuntary movements, slurred speech patterns, difficulty swallowing, low muscle tone, and the inability to maintain correct posture. Ataxic cerebral palsy also accounts for 10 percent of cerebral palsy cases. Its symptoms include poor depth perception, an abnormal sense of balance, body tremors, and poor coordination with regard to muscle movements. It is important to work with a Los Angeles birth injury lawyer who understands the various forms and causes of cerebral palsy. Complications Medical malpractices resulting from birth injuries that lead to cerebral palsy are often difficult to navigate. Most cases of cerebral palsy require highly technical treatment terms and methods, which can present complications in the litigation process. While cerebral palsy commonly results from medical negligence during labor, it can be difficult to make a successful claim for damages against a physician or hospital. A Los Angeles birth injury lawyer may be able to provide guidance when it comes to determining liability and asking for damages through a lawsuit. Contact a Los Angeles Birth Injury Lawyer If someone you love has been affected by one of the three main types of cerebral palsy caused by birth injury, he or she may be dealing with lifelong physical impairments. Filing a medical malpractice lawsuit may not only ensure that the medical professionals who acted negligently and caused such birth injuries are held liable for their actions, but provide compensation to seek further treatment as well. Contact Martin Stanley Law today at 310-399-2555 for more information on getting compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering and lost earnings potential. The right Los Angeles birth injury lawyer may be able to provide you with the representation you need to file a successful medical malpractice lawsuit.

A medical malpractice attorney is a legal expert who assists individuals that have suffered medical malpractice in seeking compensation. Services Offered by an LA Medical Malpractice Attorney in Santa Monica An LA medical malpractice attorney in Santa Monica may be able to assist if you have been injured as the result of a negligent physician. Medical malpractice law holds doctors and other medical treatment providers liable when they cause harm by acting negligently in their duties. Each state has its own medical malpractice laws and procedures to cover specialized personal injury. In general, doctors are determined liable if their treatment does not meet the “standard of care” upheld by their colleagues in similar cases. Forms of Medical Malpractice Medical malpractice is typically divided into several categories, including a failure to diagnose, misreading X-rays, inappropriate prescribing, failing to inform the patient of risks and adverse side effects, performing treatment without informed consent, and mistakes made during delivery. Careless physicians may cause catastrophic injury to their patients. An LA medical malpractice attorney may be able to help you recover damages including medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages due to time off from work, decreased earning potential, and punitive damages. You may also be able to recover partial or complete compensation for personal impairment, disfigurement, or the death of a loved one. Obstacles and Limitations Medical malpractice cases result in some of the largest damage awards of all personal injury lawsuits. Expert witnesses are often called in to provide a unique perspective on whether your doctor acted according to the basic standards of care in his or her field. Hiring a medical malpractice attorney may be prohibitively expensive for patients filing a medical malpractice lawsuit. The expense can drive the cost of bringing a claim to court significantly. Additionally, many public policy groups and politicians actively work against large damage awards in medical malpractice claims. This practice is known as tort reform, and it makes it significantly harder for injured victims to file malpractice lawsuits. Even if you win a lawsuit, tort reform may impose a limit on how much you are able to claim in damages. An LA medical malpractice attorney who is experienced with tort reform laws may be able to help you navigate these obstacles and receive the damages to which you are entitled. Compensation for Suffering When filing a medical malpractice case, retaining an attorney is the first step you should take. Self-representation is usually not advisable in medical malpractice cases since the financial resources and litigation expertise required far exceed that of most people. A reputable law firm can provide numerous resources and represent your interests to the insurance company and opposing legal team. The first stage of working with a medical malpractice attorney begins with a detailed evaluation of the incident in question. Your hospital records and other factual evidence will be gathered and reviewed for depositions. Depositions are formal interviews in which you are asked to give your sworn testimony. Any witnesses to the incident may also be asked to give their depositions during this process. Then, a medical expert will be chosen and asked to review the evidence after drafting a report on your behalf. Once the expert report has been made, it will be given to the defendant&#8217;s lawyers and insurance adjuster for review. Settlement negotiations take place before proceeding with a lawsuit. If both sides are able to come to an acceptable compensation agreement, you will receive compensation without having to go to trial. However, if a settlement agreement cannot be made, your case will go to trial where it will be decided by a judge or jury. During the trial process, your LA medical malpractice attorney will comply with various procedural requirements. Even one mistake can result in a dismissal, so it is important to work with a professional you trust. The statute of limitations for your case dictates a very strict timeline in which you are allowed to file paperwork and initiate the lawsuit. If any deadlines are missed, your case may be dismissed. In many cases, your case must also be submitted to a medical review board before moving forward. Contact an LA Medical Malpractice Attorney in Santa Monica While it is normal for patients to trust doctors with their care, some cases of medical negligence result in catastrophic injury.
