Santa Clara County Personal Injury Attorney

Lawyer in San Jose for Victims of Car Crashes and Premises Liability Accidents

The experienced team at the Fuller Law Firm has seen first-hand the devastation that a negligent action can cause. When someone is injured due to the carelessness of another party, it is only fair that the negligent party be held responsible for the damages caused. Serious injuries can leave a victim unable to work, care for children, or enjoy life the same way he or she did before getting hurt. An accident that occurs in mere seconds can lead to consequences that last a lifetime.

Common California Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury claims can result from a wide variety of circumstances. Injured victims of car accidents may bring a personal injury claim against a driver who was driving carelessly and caused a crash. Injured pedestrians and people hurt riding bicycles also use personal injury claims to receive compensation for harm caused by the negligent actions of another. Sometimes, an injury is caused when a negligent property owner chooses to ignore an unsafe condition or defect on his or her property, exposing visitors to the property to needless danger. These situations often lead to premises liability claims against the owner or custodian of the property. Other premises liability cases include dog bite injuries and injuries or death resulting from a slip and fall accident.

Attorney Cory Fuller and the team of legal professionals at the Fuller Law Firm are ready to fight on your behalf if another party's negligence leads to your injury or the death of a loved one. We serve clients who have suffered broken bones, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), disfiguring injuries, whiplash, spine and back injuries, burns, and more.

Damages in a Personal Injury Case

In personal injury law, the economic and noneconomic losses suffered by an injured party or the surviving loved ones of a deceased person are called damages. The amount of compensation an injured person can receive for damages depends on the extent of their injuries and the financial loss incurred. Common damages recovered in a personal injury settlement or verdict include:

• Medical expenses, including emergency room treatment, ambulance costs, hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, prescription medications, and more;
• Lost wages due to missed work;
• Lost future earning capacity;
• Future medical costs;
• Pain and suffering;
• Loss of companionship and loss of consortium; and
• Funeral expenses.

Reliable Legal Guidance from an Attorney You Can Trust

In the chaotic aftermath of an injury or wrongful death, you might feel that you must accept any offer an insurance company makes. Unfortunately, insurance companies strive to pay as little as possible to injured claimants. It is very likely that a quick insurance settlement will not cover all your expenses, nor will it fully address future needs or ongoing costs. Unlike an impersonal insurance company, the team at the Fuller Law Firm has your best interests at heart. We take an individualized approach to injury cases and fight hard to get our clients the compensation they need to move on after an accident.
