In such a densely populated area, the odds of suffering a personal injury increase. A serious injury caused by the negligence of another can mean significant hardship. This could involve not only long-term recovery and perhaps permanent impairment but the loss of employment. A South Gate personal injury attorney at Salamati Law can protect your rights and help you receive the compensation you deserve.

Personal Injury Attorney in South Gate

Although motor vehicle accidents constitute the most significant number of personal injury claims, slip and fall accidents comprise the second-largest category. Formally known as premises liability accidents, slip and falls occur when someone is hurt because an owner did not safely maintain their property. Nationwide, thousands of people die each year in these types of accidents.

The following elements contribute to slip and falls:

  • Broken pavement
  • Debris in walkways
  • Holes in floors
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Lack of stair rails
  • Loose tiles or flooring
  • Unsecured electrical cords
  • Ripped carpeting
  • Wet floors

Contact a slip and fall lawyer at Salamati Law immediately after this type of accident. By law, all business and property owners in California must keep their premises in a safe condition, free from potential hazards.  

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is two years from the incident date. After that, the court will not accept the claim. Further, if a person dies from their injuries, the statute of limitations is two years. Therefore, it is critical to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. A prompt investigation is necessary to ensure crucial evidence does not disappear.

Motor Vehicle Accidents in South Gate   

In a busy urban area such as South Gate, motor vehicle accidents occur all too frequently. That is not unusual in Los Angeles, which leads the nation in car accidents.

If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident caused by another party, always obtain legal advice before agreeing to an insurance settlement. Insurance companies seek ways to avoid payment and may mislead an injured person into making a statement that puts them at fault for the collision. Your lawyer will deal with the insurance company so you can concentrate on recovery.   

MTA buses service South Gate. When there is a bus accident, injuries are usually serious and often fatal. For example, a pedestrian or cyclist struck by a bus has no protection.  After conducting an investigation, a  bus accident lawyer will ensure that the notice of claim is filed on time. When government agencies are involved, the statute of limitations is just six months, so time is of the essence.

Other Types of Personal Injury

Besides car accidents and slip and falls, common types of personal injury cases include:

  • Animal attacks
  • Assault
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Elder abuse
  • Scooter accidents
