Picture you are driving home from work on the freeway. Not only is the usual traffic packing the lanes, but one is also undergoing construction. As you change lanes, you get closer to the construction zone but are still careful to follow the warning signs and traffic flow. Regardless of your caution, heavy debris from the construction zone suddenly flies toward you, breaking through your windows and injuring you. Not only do you need to pay off new medical bills, but you also need to cover the damage to your car and take time off work.

If you are hit by flying debris on the freeway, there is a significant risk of receiving severe injuries and facing extreme costs. In these circumstances, you will likely benefit from speaking with a representative at Younglove Law Group. Our personal injury lawyers have significant experience in injury law, including vehicle and construction accidents. Our clients also trust us to dedicate our time and efforts toward their success, helping them receive the compensation they need to recover.

Seek Medical Attention for Your Injuries

After you have been injured by flying debris, we strongly recommend you seek medical attention as soon as possible, as this is necessary to prioritize your recovery and overall health. Your medical professionals can help identify causes, find latent injuries, recommend treatment plans, and refer you to other helpful specialists whenever necessary.

Whether you take legal action against the responsible party or not, seeking medical attention is essential to recover fully. However, you are more likely to receive adequate compensation for your losses and injuries if you seek medical attention and take legal action. 

If you use the legal process, we recommend holding onto any medical bills and relevant doctor’s notes until the proceedings close. Additionally, if you need help finding a trustworthy and experienced medical practitioner, your personal injury lawyer can provide you with a referral.

Avoid Discussing Your Circumstances With Others

If you choose to take legal action against the responsible party, we recommend you avoid discussing your circumstances with anyone other than your lawyer. Accepting a settlement from your insurance company can keep you from receiving the compensation you need to make a complete recovery. Additionally, speaking with friends and family may result in shared information being used against you.

By speaking with and retaining a lawyer, you are practicing your right to attorney-client privilege and gaining access to a great deal of privacy. This allows you to discuss all information relevant to your case without introducing significant risk to your success.

Stay Off Social Media

Staying off social media is highly recommended whenever you are involved in legal matters. The court can require you to share any information, whether you have a private account, feel your posts are unrelated, or something else. Any information you share can be used against you. 

We recommend logging off or disabling your social media accounts, especially if you think you will be tempted to use them. Again, even when your account is set to private, information can leak that can harm your claim.

Speak With a Lawyer

When you take legal action, we suggest you work with a lawyer. In the case of severe injuries, we recommend you work with a personal injury lawyer for assistance. Your attorney will likely be able to help you in several ways throughout this legal process, including speaking on your behalf, avoiding mistakes, completing and filing paperwork, and providing helpful referrals. In addition to generally streamlining the legal process on your behalf, your lawyer will be able to collect and analyze any relevant information related to your claims. 

Please refrain from representing yourself during legal proceedings. Our lawyers are far more likely to help you win the compensation you deserve. If you represent yourself, you risk misrepresenting the case and reducing the compensatory value of your claims. Please get in touch with a lawyer as soon as possible to improve your odds of success during the legal process.

Imagine heading into your home after a long day at work, looking forward to relaxing after several arduous tasks. Suddenly, right outside your front door, you slip and fall onto the ground. You realize you must have accidentally kicked a raised crack in the flooring, the same one your neighbor had asked your landlord to fix a few weeks ago. What can you do about your injuries in this situation? Experiencing a great deal of pain and potential memory or concentration issues will not come without consequences.

If you slip or trip and fall and believe your landlord is responsible for your injuries, you might benefit from speaking with a representative at Younglove Law Group. Our legal team is highly experienced in personal injury law, including incidents involving slip-and-falls. We have access to proven strategies and resources that can benefit your claim, and our clients trust us to work hard toward excellent results.

Can You Sue Your Landlord for a Fall on the Property?

In short, you might be able to sue your landlord for your slip-and-fall accident. If you have fallen due to your landlord’s negligence or purposeful actions, you might be entitled to compensation for your medical bills and other losses. For example, if your landlord is aware of a danger on the property—or a reasonable amount of time has passed for your landlord to be aware—they will likely be responsible for not addressing the obstacle. 

We recommend speaking with a lawyer to obtain more helpful information. There are some instances where you may have been expected to avoid the slip or trip, you may have been responsible for the fix, or another factor is at play for the defendant to use against you. A lawyer will inform you of the legalities concerning your unique situation and can represent you when the time comes.

What Compensation Can You Receive After a Slip-And-Fall?

You will likely be entitled to compensation after an injury involving a slip-and-fall. If you have fallen due to someone else’s negligent or purposeful actions, you might be able to receive recovery for the following damages:

• Medical bills, including
  • Ambulance fees
  • Emergency room or hospital costs
  • Physical therapy charges
  • Future medical payments
• Lost wages
• Loss of wage-earning potential
• Property damage
• Wrongful death
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of companionship or consortium
• Legal fees

If you need assistance determining what damages are eligible for your claims, we recommend speaking with an experienced personal injury attorney. Your lawyer can identify the overall worth of your case and maximize the compensation you are able to receive, enabling you to focus on recovery.

Can a Lawyer Help Your Case?

If you intend to take legal action and wish to receive adequate compensation for your injuries, we highly recommend you speak with a lawyer for assistance. Your lawyer can help you in several ways throughout the legal process, including the following:

• Legal knowledge and suggestions
• Negotiation
• Speak on your behalf
• Complete and file the necessary paperwork
• Maintain schedule and appointments
• Refer you to medical specialists
• Provide you with helpful information and resources
• Reduce your stress levels
• Assess the value of your case
• Join or lead investigations
• Collect and assess evidence
• Build strong arguments in your favor
• Minimize your fault
• Brainstorm strategies and the next steps for your case
• Maximize your potential compensation

While self-representation might seem appealing, there is a significant risk of misrepresentation and lost compensation. We suggest speaking with a lawyer for assistance as soon as possible. An experienced attorney is far more likely to win the recovery you deserve.

If you are familiar with California’s personal injury and dog bite law, you might know that owners are generally held responsible for damages their dogs cause. However, imagine working as a pet sitter and getting bitten by your client’s pet. Or maybe someone received an injury during the dog’s walking route under the pet sitter’s care. If the dog owner is not present, are they still likely to be held liable for the injuries? Is the owner still responsible for paying medical bills and handling other losses?

We can iron out some finer details and clarify the situation in this case. Younglove Law Group is dedicated to supporting its clients throughout the legal process. We have access to helpful information and resources you need to win favorable results. If you think we can help, please do not hesitate to contact our experienced legal team.

Who Is Responsible for a Dog Bite in a Pet Sitter’s Care?

In most circumstances, California law will hold a dog’s owner responsible for any injuries related to a bite, scratching, clawing, falling, or other situations. The owner is likely to hold at least a portion of the responsibility in most cases. However, the owner might not be 100% liable in every circumstance where their dog injures others.

For example, if a pet sitter knows that a dog is likely to bite but still accepts work related to the animal’s care, they might be partially responsible for their own injuries. Additionally, if the pet sitter teases or otherwise taunts the dog, this individual may be partly responsible in this case also. If the sitter warns others to avoid taunting the dog to prevent risks of injury, but these individuals bother the pet anyway, the injured individual may be partially responsible.

What Should You Do After Receiving a Dog Bite in California?

If a dog has bitten you, it is vital to take immediate action to improve your chances of full recovery. Please refer to our suggestions for assistance in creating strategies that can serve your legal goals. These might be beneficial if you wish to receive adequate compensation for your medical bills and other losses as well as if you intend to take legal action against the responsible parties.

Receive Medical Attention Immediately

We highly recommend you seek medical attention as soon as possible after you have been injured, as this boosts your odds of achieving full recovery. Your medical practitioner may also help identify latent injuries, determine what caused the situation, offer suggestions for treatment plans, and refer you to specialists you may need to see.

Please hold onto any doctor’s notes and itemized medical bills, as they will likely be helpful during legal proceedings. Taking immediate action and seeking medical attention will also probably show the court that you are taking recovery seriously. Your doctor’s notes and medical bills can help ensure you receive adequate compensation and accurately portray your version of events.

Speak With a Personal Injury Lawyer in Your Area

If you intend to participate in any legal proceedings, please speak with a lawyer for assistance. In the case of a dog bite or another injury related to someone’s pet’s behavior, we recommend speaking with and retaining a personal injury lawyer near you. Your attorney might be able to assist you in several ways, including the following:

• Legal knowledge
• Negotiation skills
• Handle insurance companies and additional legal representatives
• Speak on your behalf
• Complete and file paperwork
• Reduce stress
• Provide a referral to medical and other specialists
• Offer helpful information and resources
• Join or lead investigations
• Collect and assess evidence
• Build a strong case in your favor
• Assess the value of your claims
• Increase and maximize your compensation

Retaining the services of an experienced lawyer is the best way to ensure your interests are looked after and you are awarded the recovery you need. While it may be tempting to try to represent yourself,  it is likely you will disclose information that is harmful to your claim and lose compensation you would otherwise have been entitled to.

Nothing can prepare a person for unexpectedly losing a loved one as a result of an accident caused by another party’s negligence. Regardless of what caused the accident that took the life of your family member, you deserve justice for your unimaginable loss. While no amount of compensation can ever bring back your loved one, you should file a wrongful death claim to help you pay for any expenses you are facing following their passing. 

Younglove Law Group is a team of California personal injury lawyers with extensive experience handling wrongful death claims. When filing a wrongful death claim, it is important that you are aware of how long you have to complete the claims process before you are no longer eligible to pursue compensation. 

What Is California’s Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death Claims?

A statute of limitations is a specific period of time in which a person can pursue legal action after they have suffered an injury or loss of some kind. After suffering the loss of a family member due to wrongful death, it is important to take time to grieve. However, it is also crucial that you are aware of the state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death claims and retain the help of a lawyer as soon as possible to begin the claims process. This is because California’s statute of limitations for wrongful death is two years from the date that your loved one passed away. 

While two years might seem like a lot of time, the claims process can be lengthy and there are certain elements, like gathering evidence, that can take longer. That is why it is vital that you begin working with your wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you can pursue the best possible outcome for your claim and get the compensation you need. 

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

Before you begin the process of pursuing compensation after losing a loved one, it is important that you understand who is eligible to file a wrongful death claim in California. The individuals who have the legal right to file a wrongful death claim are as follows:

• The Spouse of the Deceased: If the person who has passed away was legally married at the time of their death, the surviving spouse of the deceased has the right to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf. 
• The Children of the Deceased: The deceased’s adult children can also file a wrongful death claim. This can include biological children, stepchildren, and fully adopted children of the decedent. If the children are minors, the court can appoint a guardian to file the wrongful death claim on behalf of the children. 
• Grandchildren of the Deceased: If the spouse and children of the decedent are not able to file a claim, their grandchildren are eligible to file a wrongful death claim. 
• Dependent Minors: Any dependent minors that have lived in the household for at least six months possibly have grounds to file a claim even if they are not legal children of the decedent. 
• Parents of the Deceased: Parents who are able to prove that they were financially dependent on the decedent could be eligible to file a wrongful death claim in California. 
• Other Heirs: If none of the above family members of the deceased are able to file a claim, then the heirs who stand to inherit from the decedent according to the California intestate succession laws can file a wrongful death claim.
• Next of Kin: If none of the relatives entitled to the decedent’s property are able to file, any of their next of kin will be eligible to file a wrongful death claim.

If you are unsure if you are eligible to file a wrongful death claim in California, contact a knowledgeable wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your legal options.

Fireworks shows are a popular way for people to celebrate holidays or special occasions. From children to adults, everyone can enjoy a good fireworks show. While fireworks can be beautiful to look at, they can also be highly dangerous if handled negligently. If you have been injured in a fireworks accident, it is imperative that you understand who is liable so you can pursue compensation by filing a personal injury claim. 

Younglove Law Group is a California personal injury law firm with experience helping clients who have been injured in fireworks accidents understand their legal options in regards to getting justice for their losses. In California, there are several parties who can possibly be held liable for your injuries in a fireworks accident, and our goal is to help you determine the liable party so you can pursue the fair compensation you deserve. 

Who Is Responsible for a Fireworks Accident in California?

Whether you were watching a fireworks display on The Fourth of July or at a wedding, if you suffered an injury as a result of a negligent party not handling fireworks safely, you might have the grounds to file a personal injury claim and seek damages. The parties who are potentially liable for your fireworks accident include the following:

• An Individual: If you are watching a fireworks display and are injured by fireworks that you were not handling, you may have the grounds to file a claim against the person who was handling the fireworks that caused the accident. 
• The Fireworks’ Manufacturer: If you can provide evidence that the fireworks that caused your accident were defective, you can hold the manufacturer accountable for your injuries and losses. 
• The City: If you were watching a fireworks show that was put on by the city or a government entity, you may be able to pursue legal action if they acted negligently or hired a person who was not properly qualified to be handling fireworks. 

In order to hold any party liable for a fireworks accident in California, you must be able to prove the elements of negligence in your personal injury claim. 

How Can You Prove the Elements of Negligence After a Fireworks Accident?

After a fireworks accident occurs, your personal injury lawyer can help you conduct an investigation to identify who is liable for your injuries and losses. After this investigation concludes and the liable party is identified, you must provide evidence of the elements of negligence in order to pursue compensation. The four elements of negligence are as follows:

• The liable party owed you a duty of care
• The liable party breached this duty of care 
• The breach in duty of care led to your injury
• The injury you suffered resulted in losses

If you are unsure of how you can provide evidence of the four elements of negligence, a California personal injury lawyer will help.
