Back Injury

A back injury is the common outcome of a vehicle accident or a slip-and-fall accident. Unfortunately, such injuries often have long-term consequences. While the injury itself can result in mild but continuous discomfort to life-altering pain and immobility, the knowledge that it could have been avoided can be challenging as well.

Brain Injury

A brain injury resulting from the reckless actions of another person is doubly challenging. While the injury itself often results in devastating and life-changing consequences for the victim and his or her family, the knowledge that it could have been avoided can be extremely painful. In Southern California, the courts have regularly ruled that the victim of a brain injury is entitled to compensation and the negligent party must be held responsible.

Catastrophic Injury

Injuries that result in life altering conditions such as paralysis, loss of use, permanent disability and long term medical conditions are known as catastrophic injuries. The effects an injury of this type will have on your life will be severe and your life will never be what it was prior to the injury. If you, or a loved one, have been severely injured in a California accident you may be entitled to medical benefits, damages and financial compensation.

Concussion Injury

Car accidents, and other types of accidents, can induce numerous types of injuries. A concussion is a common injury resulting from auto accidents, falls and excessive force to the head. Shortly after the injury other symptoms may begin appear such as confusion, headache, nausea, vomiting as well as blurred vision.

Drunk Driving Accidents

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is dangerous for everyone on the road, even very experienced drivers. The effects of mind altering substances have on motor skills and driving ability is even greater if the driver is a teenager, or inexperienced driver. This is due to a lack of driving experience, aggressive or reckless driving behaviors as well as reduced motor function due to drugs and alcohol consumption. If you, or a loved one, have been the victim of a drunk driving accident in California you should immediately speak with a DUI accident attorney.

Head On Collisions

Auto accidents are a leading cause of death on California roads, highways and interstates. This statistic applies to people of all ages. Car accidents can occur in various ways such as rear end collisions, side impact accidents and head on collisions. Of these, typically the most dangerous is a head on collision. A head on collision occurs when two vehicles crash into each other head first. Many times the speed at which an auto accident takes place dictates the severity of the injuries suffered. Head on collisions occurring at lower speeds can be catastrophic due to the amount of energy going into the crash.

Rear End Accidents

Many times injuries suffered in a rear end collision do not immediately present themselves. Rear end collision injuries can manifest later, sometime after the accident. This has to do with rear end collisions frequently occurring at lower speeds than head on collisions or side impact collisions. Even at lower speeds rear end crashes can induce serious and severe injuries in the future. These injuries cannot be ignored as they may hinder your ability to work, live and function normally on a daily basis. This is where the expertise of an experienced Orange County motor vehicle accident attorney can be very beneficial in getting you the appropriate compensation.

Mass Transit Accidents

A disaster of this magnitude, with so many people killed and injured, presents extraordinary legal complexities and unique legal issues. There is little question that once the initial shock, pain, sorrow and anger subsides, the families of those who lost loved ones and the unfortunate passengers who sustained injuries will all seek legal redress for the tremendous pain and loss they have suffered. The potential for numerous lawsuits as a result of this train crash is extremely high.

Neck Injury

A neck injury sustained in a vehicle accident, commonly known as whiplash, can easily translate into a lifetime of pain and suffering if the victim fails to complete treatment and therapy. As a result, it’s critical to contact an experienced personal injury attorney to ensure an adequate settlement.

Pedestrian Accidents

Vehicle accidents involving pedestrians can happen to a person strolling around the block, walking to a destination or running for exercise. Generally, such incidents can result in serious injury for the unprotected pedestrian.

Products Liability

Every year thousands of people in the United States are injured due to faulty and/or defective products. Unfortunately, these incidents often result in death or very serious injuries. In this type of situation it can be extremely difficult to determine who (person or entity) is responsible for the product defect. The Tomalas Law Firm has extensive experience fighting for compensation on behalf of victims who have been injured due to defective consumer products.

Underinsured/ Uninsured Motorists

Uninsured motorist coverage is intended to cover the medical bills, damage, lost wages and pain and suffering resulting from a vehicle accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver. Making such a claim will not increase your premium. Unfortunately, however, insurance companies sometimes deny or delay payment on such claims.

Wrongful Death

There is no greater tragedy in a family than a loved one’s death as the result of an accident or negligent actions. That said, husbands, wives, children and parents may be able to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars for their loss. While such settlements cannot turn back the clock for those suffering, they can provide the funds needed to maintain a family’s financial health.
