Personal Injury & Property Damage

Catastrophic Personal Injury

A personal injury lawsuit arises when a person has suffered an injury due to someone's negligence.  In California, personal injury victims may recover for both the economic and non-economic damages they suffered.  Economic damages include past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages, and any other monetary expenses the person incurred because of the injury.  Non-economic damages include recovery for pain and suffering and emotional distress.

Serious and catastrophic personal injury cases are often particularly complex and it is important to hire an attorney who has experience trying these types of personal injury cases.  The attorneys at Felahy Law Group have recovered millions of dollars for injured clients, and they are willing to pursue many complex and contentious cases that other law firms refuse to handle. 

In addition to representing injured plaintiffs in personal injury lawsuits, our lawyers appear at Department of Health Services appeals and hearings, and assist clients with physician-management contracts and provider agreements. 

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death lawsuit may arise when a person has died because of another's negligence.  Under the California Code of Civil Procedure a deceased's individuals spouse, children, or issue can file a wrongful death action.  If the deceased had no spouse or issue, anyone entitled to property in the deceased's estate may file a claim.  California does not permit the deceased's family to recover any damages any pain and suffering the deceased suffered before death.   

Property Damage

Even though many people possess liability insurance to cover property loss to their homes, automobiles, and businesses, the goal of an insurance company is to minimize what they pay to policyholders.  However, people who have suffered property damage are entitled to recover the value of the property.  If property is damaged, the owner is typically entitled to the diminished market value.  If the property is rendered unusable, the owner may recover the loss of use or rental value.  If the property is completely destroyed, the owner may recover the property's full market value.  Estimating the damage and ensuring a property owner obtains maximum recovery requires the skill and experience of experienced property damaged attorneys.
