Fighting to Get You Maximum Compensation In Your Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawsuit
While there can be exceptions, such as claims for wrongful death or workers’ compensation, the plaintiff in a personal injury case can ask for compensatory damages, including both economic and non-economic awards for:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost wages, income, and benefits
- Temporary and/or permanent disability
- Reduced earning capacity
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Expenses paid out-of-pocket
- Property damage

In cases of fatal injury, the deceased’s family may be able to obtain compensation for funeral, burial, and/or cremation expenses.
Punitive damages can be awarded in certain situations. If a personal injury case gets to trial, a jury can order a defendant to pay additional damages as punishment for conduct that was clearly malicious, fraudulent, or oppressive.
Don’t stress about what your personal injury case is worth or how to get the compensation you deserve. Focus on your recovery and leave the fight for maximum damages to Singleton Schreiber.
Personal Injury FAQ
You have questions about your rights and options after an accident in Los Angeles. Singleton Schreiber has the answers you need.
Can I Get Compensation If I’m Blamed For an Accident in Los Angeles, CA?
As long as you’re not 100 percent at fault. Under California’s pure comparative negligence rule, damages can be awarded proportionately to fault. The greater your share of the blame for your accident, the less you can receive through a settlement agreement or jury award.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in California?
Most personal injury lawsuits in Los Angeles are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, as outlined in California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1.
There are some exceptions, including:
- Child injuries: tolls until the child’s 18th birthday, then the normal two limitation period begins (2-year statute of limitations)
- Property damage: three years
- Medical malpractice: three years from the date of injury or one year from the date the injury is discovered, whichever occurs first
- Workers’ compensation: one year
Claims against the city of Los Angeles or the State of California are also subject to different, accelerated statutes of limitations. Claims against the government typically include a filing requirement of 6 months from the date of the incident, though this varies.
You have to meet the statute of limitations that applies to your specific personal injury case. If the filing deadline passes before you’ve asserted your rights, you miss the opportunity to demand financial compensation for your injuries.
How Do I Win My Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Most personal injury lawsuits are based on the tort of negligence, which means you have the burden of proving:
- The defendant in your case owed you a duty of care
- The duty of care was breached because the defendant’s conduct was unreasonable
- The defendant’s conduct caused you to get hurt or suffer the wrongful death of a family member, and
- You’ve suffered damages.
California law requires the plaintiff to prove the elements of a negligence action by a preponderance of the evidence.
