Medical costs for the first year following a severe spinal cord injury can surpass $700,000. This figure could reach several million over the course of the injured person's lifetime. This total does not even account for the loss of wages, pain and suffering, and other financial and emotional burdens.With experience fighting for clients in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside counties and throughout the state of California, each experienced spinal cord injury lawyer at Hodes Milman Liebeck is familiar with California personal injury laws and can help you obtain compensation for these costs.

A traumatic brain injury is among the most devastating injuries a person can suffer. In the most serious cases, the injury can lead to a loss of motor skills, as well as dramatic impairments to the ability to move, speak, and care for oneself. Traumatic brain injuries are too often the consequence of automobile or motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, and injuries sustained playing full-contact sports, such as football and hockey.

While some brain injuries cause only mild dizziness, some difficulty concentrating, and lingering headaches, even seemingly minor brain injuries must be taken seriously, as the true extent of the injury may not be immediately evident. Only with comprehensive medical treatment can a brain injury be properly diagnosed and treated.

Residents of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside counties and throughout the state of California should contact the personal injury lawyers at Hodes Milman Liebeck if they have a case involving a traumatic brain injury, since the expense of caring for the injury and other associated costs can skyrocket very quickly.

Types of Brain Injury

Head and brain injuries fall into one of two categories: closed and open. A closed head injury is caused by an external force and results in brain damage without skull penetration. An open head injury is caused by a penetrating wound to the head and results in ripping or crushing of delicate brain tissue. These types of injuries can range in severity, from mild to traumatic. While a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause significant changes in a person’s abilities, personality, or behavior, a mild brain injury can also have a tremendous impact on a person’s quality of life. However, an individual suffering from a mild brain injury typically appears to be fine to casual observers or acquaintances. As a result, many brain injury cases are extremely challenging from a legal standpoint. Fortunately, the brain injury attorneys at our Los Angeles area firm understand the unique complexities of brain injury cases and can help victims obtain appropriate compensation for their injuries.

Common Causes of Brain Injury

Some of the most common causes of brain injury include:

• Auto accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Assaults/violence
• Birth injury
• Sports injuries

Our personal injury lawyers at Hodes Milman Liebeck are experienced in handling lawsuits seeking damages for burn injuries. Burn injuries can range from severe burns that cause significant, permanent injuries to mild burns that result in temporary pain and discomfort.

While burn injuries are most commonly associated with exposure to fire, some of the most serious burns are caused by chemicals, solvents, and other caustic substances that are commonplace in many American homes and workplaces. In fact, many people suffer burn injuries while at work.

Victims of burn injuries should contact the personal injury lawyers at Hodes Milman Liebeck immediately to have their legal claim evaluated and determine whether a personal injury lawsuit may be warranted.

Causes of Burn Injuries

Not every burn injury warrants litigation, but if the burn resulted from someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Just the initial hospital costs and physician fees associated with treating a burn on one-third of a typical adult’s body can amount to more than $200,000.  The costs arising from a serious burn injury can be overwhelming. When preparing a burn injury lawsuit, attorneys will consider whether the plaintiff is entitled to recover:

Injuries sustained on property that is either owned or controlled by another party may be grounds for a personal injury lawsuit under a legal principle known as premises liability. Under the law, property owners – both public and private – are financially liable to other parties who are injured on their land, if the owners failed to keep the property reasonably safe and free of known dangers that could cause injuries.

The personal injury lawyers of Hodes Milman Liebeck have a long history of successfully representing injured victims in premises liability cases. Premises liability lawsuits commonly stem from slip and fall accidents, such as those that can occur on slippery grocery store floors, but victims can file suit seeking damages for personal injuries suffered in a variety of other situations.

If you have been injured on property that is owned or under the control of another party anywhere in the State of California, including San Bernardino and Riverside, the aggressive personal injury lawyers at the law firm of Hodes Milman Liebeck will evaluate your legal claim for free and determine whether you are entitled to receive financial damages.

Premises Liability Claims

Property owners need to be aware of potentially dangerous conditions on their property and should either correct them or properly warn others of the risks. In order to file a successful premises liability lawsuit, your attorneys must prove that the business or property owner was negligent in their duty to provide a reasonably safe environment.  At Hodes Milman Liebeck in Orange County, our premises liability attorneys can build a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit that involve harm caused by:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Dog bite or animal attacks
• Unsafe design or construction of buildings
• Falling objects (e.g., merchandise falling off of shelf and striking customer)
• Inadequate security
• Overgrown landscaping or uneven walking surfaces causing fall
• "Sick building syndrome" (exposure to toxic mold, asbestos, poor air quality, etc.)
• Other dangerous conditions

If you believe you sustained an injury due to a property owner's negligence, contact our Los Angeles and Orange County area premises liability attorneys to discuss the possibility of filing a lawsuit to pursue compensation for your injuries and losses.

Among the most common personal injuries are slip and fall accidents. Pedestrians who trip on uneven pavement and shoppers who lose their footing on slippery store floors or have store merchandise topple on top of them may be able to recover financial damages from property owners under the theory of premises liability.

It is important to note, however, that property owners are not automatically liable for any and all injuries that occur on their property.  In order to be held responsible for injuries sustained on their land, property owners must make sure that their property is reasonably safe.

The law firm of Hodes Milman Liebeck is staffed by experienced personal injury lawyers who will evaluate your legal claim and, if appropriate, represent you in your personal injury lawsuit.

Unsafe Conditions Leading to Trip and Fall

Although circumstances vary from case to case, you may have the basis for a slip and fall lawsuit, and should talk to an attorney at our firm in Orange County, California if your accident involved:

• Slippery or sticky floor
• Unmarked uneven walking surfaces (including sidewalks)
• Unidentified step down
• Holes or large cracks in pavement or flooring
• Loose steps or handrails

Because the above conditions in and of themselves may not warrant a slip and fall lawsuit, it is important to speak with an attorney about the circumstances of your personal injury case.

Slip and Fall Litigation

In order to build a strong slip and fall accident case, an attorney must demonstrate that the property owner or business (or one of its representatives):

• Caused the unsafe condition
• Was aware of the dangerous condition but did not take steps to correct it
• Should have been aware of the unsafe situation because a "reasonable person" would have seen it and taken steps to protect the safety of others

In some situations it may be difficult to determine liability in a trip and fall accident. A skilled attorney at our Los Angeles area law firm is familiar with California laws and can help to determine whether your accident merits a premises liability lawsuit.
