Merced Personal Injury Cases We Can Help You With
The Merced personal injury attorneys at Silva Injury Law handle a variety of different types of cases. Even if you do not see your specific injury type listed below, give us a call. We have a wide range of experience and want to help you recover.
Auto Accidents
Each year there are thousands of auto vehicle accidents in the state of California. Even the most careful drivers sometimes get into auto accidents. There are many drivers on the road, and unfortunately, even if you drive safely, there is no guarantee that everybody else will do the same.
People engage in risky behaviors while driving, such as texting, adjusting music or temperature controls, and eating and drinking. These behaviors all fit under the umbrella of distracted driving. In 2018, almost 3,000 people died in distracted driving accidents.
If the other driver involved in your accident was distracted while driving, our skilled Merced personal injury lawyers can help you recover the maximum compensation available under the law.
Distracted driving is just one common cause of auto vehicle accidents in the United States. Other forms of negligence, such as failure to obey posted speed limits or use turn signals, can also result in an accident. Even if you are not sure whether the other driver can be held liable for your injuries, it is a good idea to talk to an attorney.
Experienced personal injury attorneys in Merced will know the California laws pertaining to your car, truck, or motorcycle accident. They can discuss the strength of your case and what you can expect from a settlement.
Dog Attack
California dog attack law holds dog owners to a standard of strict liability. This means that the dog owner can be liable for the injuries of someone their dog has bitten even if their dog has never been aggressive in the past.
To establish the owner’s liability, you do not need to prove that the owner failed to take reasonable care to prevent the bite. As long as the bite occurred while you were on public property, or were legally on private property, you may have a dog bite claim.
Dog attack cases can be difficult because sometimes the dog owner is the bite victim’s neighbor or acquaintance. At Silva Injury Law, our priority is working toward a solution.
We understand that not every legal proceeding needs to be a hostile situation. Our dog bite lawyers will always keep your best interests and your goals in mind while handling your case.
Trip And Fall
If you were injured after a trip, or slip and fall, you may be able to recover against the owner of the premises where the accident occurred.
If the building owner failed to properly maintain their property and allowed safety hazards to persist, they may be liable for your injuries.
Owners of both private and public property can be subject to property liability.
Sexual Assault
Finding the right Merced sexual abuse and harassment attorney for your case is no easy task.
There are many attorneys in the greater Merced, CA, area, and narrowing down the options can feel stressful and overwhelming. So, how do you go about selecting the right attorney for you?
