In a typical claim, the injury must be caused by someone else’s negligence. The definition includes car crashes, slip-and-fall incidents, sports injuries, or medical negligence. Proving fault involves showing duty, breach, causation, and damages. A Sunnyvale attorney can help assemble evidence and pursue the claim.
Possible compensation includes medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The amount depends on injury severity, prognosis, and coverage. An attorney can help calculate and negotiate a fair settlement or pursue a verdict.
