Understanding if Your Injuries Occurred in a Personal Injury Accident
Personal injury accidents, by definition, are negligence accidents. If your injuries occurred because someone else, or a business or agency, acted negligently, you may have a viable insurance claim or civil case against them. Negligence may include careless, reckless, intentional, or thoughtless actions.
Negligence can cause injuries in many different ways. Almost any type of injury accident may support a personal injury case under the right circumstances. If the victim passes away, their surviving family may be able to pursue a wrongful death award.
Some ways personal injuries can occur include:
- Accidents involving cars and other motor vehicles
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Premises liability accidents, such as falls
- Defective products, medicines, and tools
- Nursing home abuse or neglect
- Boating accidents
- Aviation accidents
- Dog bites, for which owners in California have strict liability under Civil Code § 3342(a)
- Other types of catastrophic accidents
If you suffered injuries in an accident you believe occurred because of someone else’s negligence, Pintas & Mullins Law Firm may be able to help. We can discuss your case with you today for free.
Focusing on Your Recovery While Pursuing Legal Action
Working with a Simi Valley personal injury lawyer from Pintas & Mullins Law Firm brings with it a number of advantages to trying to file a claim and handle this process on your own. We can do this on your behalf without you needing to worry about it, leaving you free to focus on your treatment.
We can also help evaluate the expenses and losses resulting from your personal injury accident. This is important because we believe your family should not have to pay for expenses incurred because of the defendant’s negligence. Instead, the at-fault party or their insurance company should pay.
The Pintas & Mullins Law Firm team can also represent you during settlement negotiations and at trial if we need to take your personal injury case to court.

Your Accident Losses
The recoverable award in your personal injury case may include compensation for both economic and noneconomic losses.
Your economic losses may include almost any type of expense or loss you experienced as a direct result of the accident, your injuries, or your treatment. This includes both current and future expenses, as documented by your attorney for your case. Some examples include:
- Medical treatment for your injuries
- Related care costs
- Wages lost when you cannot work
- Future wages lost if you cannot return to your previous career
- Property damages
- Out-of-pocket expenses
While California law allows for pain and suffering and other noneconomic damages, there may be caps on this type of compensation in some types of cases. Your attorney can offer advice about the potential value of your claim and what you may expect from a settlement or award after they document the economic losses you incurred.

Reach Out Today Before Time Runs Out to File a Lawsuit
California sets a time limit of two years on personal injury lawsuits under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. This statute of limitations serves as a deadline for filing a lawsuit to hold the at-fault party in your personal injury accident accountable. Past this date, you may lose the right to file suit in a California court.
While Pintas & Mullins Law Firm can sometimes reach an out-of-court settlement and recover compensation for our clients through this type of negotiation, this is not always the case. We need to have the ability to file a lawsuit and take your personal injury case to court if it becomes necessary. For this reason, calling us as soon as possible after your injuries stabilize helps to secure your rights to take legal action.
