Cases We Handle

At the Law Office of Ronald P. Ehrman, we have extensive experience handling a variety of personal injury cases, including:

• Car Accidents: Car accidents are one of the most common causes of injury in California. Whether your accident was caused by a distracted driver, speeding, or reckless behavior, we are here to help you pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to serious injuries due to their exposure on the road. If you have been injured in a motorcycle crash due to a negligent driver, road hazard, or defective motorcycle part, we will fight to secure the compensation you need to recover.
• Truck Accidents: Collisions involving commercial trucks often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of these vehicles. We represent victims of truck accidents caused by fatigued drivers, overloaded trucks, mechanical failures, and other negligent factors.
• Premises Liability: Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises for visitors. If you have been injured due to unsafe conditions such as wet floors, poor lighting, or inadequate security, you may have a premises liability claim against the responsible party.
• Medical Malpractice: When medical professionals fail to meet the standard of care, the consequences can be life-altering. We represent victims of surgical errors, misdiagnoses, medication errors, and other forms of medical negligence.
• Defective Products: Manufacturers and distributors have a responsibility to ensure that their products are safe for consumers. If you have been injured by a defective or dangerous product, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
• Catastrophic Injuries: Severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and amputations require long-term care and financial resources. We work tirelessly to ensure that victims of catastrophic injuries receive full and fair compensation for their losses.

California Personal Injury Laws

Understanding California’s personal injury laws is crucial when pursuing a claim. California follows a comparative negligence system, meaning that even if you are partially at fault for your injury, you may still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you.

Additionally, California imposes a two-year statute of limitations on most personal injury claims. This means that you must file your lawsuit within two years of the date of your injury, or you may lose your right to seek compensation. However, certain exceptions apply, such as cases involving minors or government entities.

Compensation from a Personal Injury Lawsuit

A successful personal injury claim can provide compensation for various damages, including:

• Medical Expenses: Coverage for hospital bills, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
• Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to an inability to work during recovery.
• Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
• Property Damage: Reimbursement for vehicle repairs or replacement.
• Punitive Damages: In cases of extreme negligence or intentional harm, additional compensation may be awarded to punish the responsible party.

California Workers’ Compensation Laws

If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. California law requires most employers to provide workers’ compensation insurance to cover employees in the event of a workplace injury.

Workers’ compensation benefits may include:

• Medical treatment coverage
• Temporary disability benefits if you are unable to work
• Permanent disability benefits for long-term impairments
• Job retraining benefits if you can no longer perform your previous job duties

Unlike personal injury claims, workers’ compensation does not require you to prove employer negligence. However, in some cases, a third-party claim may be possible if another party contributed to your injury.
