Riverside Serious Injury Lawyer

Today, everyone seems to be in such a hurry to get somewhere. Freeways and roads in Southern California are jam-packed at almost any moment, on any day, at any location. Because of this, motor vehicle accidents are on the rise and more and more individuals are getting injured. Although this is a troubling trend, there are laws in place to protect the rights of those who are injured due to the actions of someone else. Contacting me, a Riverside serious injury lawyer to discuss your options, is the right thing to do.

A personal injury is an injury to the body and/or mind, as opposed to an injury to property. Personal injury is a legal term used when an individual pursues a claim or files a lawsuit alleging that their injury has been caused by the negligence or careless actions of another person. Personal injuries can happen just about anywhere and can range from minor cuts and scratches to permanent disability or wrongful death.

There are numerous types of personal injuries that occur on a daily basis. If you are involved in an accident where you sustained personal injuries, contact the Law Office of Gary G. Goldberg, I am a Riverside personal injury attorney who will explain your legal rights and options to you.

The following are examples of types of injuries that occur:

Soft Tissue Injury – soft tissues can stretch and tear and result in significant injury, which cannot be directly detected using x-rays
Brain injury – devastating in terms of short and long-term results
Spinal cord injury – a life- changing injury
Head injury – can create a lifetime of physical, mental and financial difficulties
Fractures –resulting from a high force impact and may result in additional damage to surrounding tissue, blood vessels or organs
Paralysis / Quadriplegia / Paraplegia – results from injury to spinal cord and is usually permanent; results in life-changing circumstances
Amputation – sometimes the removal of a limb is the only option to save person’s life
Burn injury – Burn injuries can be very painful and can lead to a lifetime of physical discomfort and emotional anguish. Whether the burn was a chemical burn injury caused by an unsafe product, was caused by a poorly maintained property, or occurred at a social gathering, compensation may be obtained for the suffering and medical costs accrued.
Blindness – impacts reading, walking and working at a job
Wrongful death – the ultimate injury that leaves the family suffering
Bone Fractures – There are many different ways a bone could be fractured or broken. These types of injuries usually require immediate medical attention, and the injury must be diagnosed correctly. Without adequate treatment, the bone may not heal correctly, which could result in long-term complications. Possible bone injuries include: Displaced bone fractures, Stable fractures, Open fractures, Transverse fractures, Simple fractures, Oblique fractures, Linear fractures, Comminuted fractures….
Back Injuries – Back injuries can be minor, such as strained muscles, but these injuries can also be severe, such as spinal injuries, which could result in paralysis. When a serious back injury is sustained, the injury has detrimental effects, especially among older adults. Back injuries are not only devastating, but they typically result in short-term or long-term disability, which could result in the inability to return to work. The loss of employment income, coupled with the extensive medical expenses typically caused by back injuries, victims can face years of economic hardship. For these victims, obtaining fair monetary compensation can make all the difference.
Soft Tissue Injuries – Soft tissue injuries are injuries that happen to the tendons, muscles, blood vessels, skin, ligaments and nerves. These injuries can happen as a result of blunt force trauma, penetration injuries, the twisting of muscles, tissue damage, or overexertion. For the most part, soft tissue injuries can be very painful, and they usually take a very long time to heal.
