Because we have successfully represented so many clients, we have access to the resources and legal experts required to win. Here are some of the types of personal injury cases we handle.

Car Accidents

Every year, tens of thousands of car crashes occur in Orange County. In 2020, there were 3,723 deaths due to car crashes. In most cases, the victims or their families are entitled to compensation, even if they were partially responsible. This category also includes truck accidents and motorcycle accidents.

Drunk driving is one of the many causes of fatal car accidents in California, and while our state has lower rates than the national average, there is always a risk of being killed by a drunk driver on the road.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Also known as premise liability, slip and fall deals with the common types of injuries that occur in stores, businesses, and other places that serve the public. Slip and fall injuries can also occur on private property. In most cases, it’s the property owner’s insurance that is responsible for damages.

Medical Malpractice

Doctors and hospitals can’t guarantee an outcome, but they do have a duty to provide their patients with a professional level of care that meets health industry standards. In many cases, they fall short of providing this level of care. If you’ve been injured or had your recovery delayed due to medical malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation. Call today.

Wrongful Death

Losing someone to someone else’s negligence is as painful as it is irreversible. If you have lost a family member or loved one due to a wrongful death, you may be able to recover funeral expenses, medical bills, future lost earnings, and more. In many cases, it’s the only justice you can recover.

Product Liability

Being injured by a product that you believed was safe is actionable. Types of product liability cases can include manufacturer defects, design defects, and improper labeling/instructions. Timothy J. Ryan also represents clients in class-action and multi-jurisdictional litigation lawsuits.

Other Categories of Personal Injury Law

Our litigation attorneys represent clients who have been injured in dog bite incidents, boating accidents, and criminal activity. Call today so we can discuss the viability of your case.

Why do you need a personal injury attorney in Aliso Viejo?

The truth is that not everyone requires an accident attorney. If you’ve been in a minor car accident and you’re certain you didn’t sustain injuries, you can file a claim with your insurance company for the property damage. But if you are hurt or develop signs of an injury, you may need the services of an Orange County personal injury lawyer to receive full and fair compensation.

The California Superior Courts handled roughly 800,000 civil cases in 2019, and if your case goes to court you will be at the mercy of their scheduling system. In most circumstances, it’s best that your attorney works towards a settlement without filing a lawsuit.
