What Constitutes a PI Case in Santa Cruz, CA?

Personal Injuries come in various shapes and sizes, but there are frequent themes that run through all injury claims in California

If you have been involved in a car accident, attacked by a dog or otherwise injured in Santa Cruz, it is imperative that you understand your legal rights, and how any personal injury claim is likely to go forward.

Common Elements of a Personal Injury Claim in California

In almost every Personal Injury claim, the injured individual must be able to establish four elements to win their case in Santa Cruz. The 4 elements that the party bringing the suit (the plaintiff) must establish to succeed are: (1) the party that caused the accident (the defendant) behaved negligently, (2) that negligence caused the accident, (3) that the defendant's conduct caused the injury, and (4) that your lawsuit has been brought before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

It is necessary that you do not sit on your rights, and delay the filing of your case. In California, you must file your case within a specific amount of time, before the statute of limitations runs out. If you fail to do this, you could lose any chance at recovery that you may once have had.
