A FOCUSED MADERA PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS LAWYER

Personal injury law can help victims who have suffered bodily or emotional harm due to someone else’s negligence. We all have certain degrees of responsibility to each other and a duty to act with reasonable care. There is often a breach in the standard of care when an accident or defective product causes an injury, somehow. Standards of law apply to truck, motorcycle, and auto accidents, as well as construction accidents and products liability. Carelessness can often lead to injury and, sometimes, wrongful death. Jacob J. Rivas, Attorney at Law, focuses solely on personal injury to offer comprehensive legal representation and to hold wrongdoers accountable for their actions that have hurt you.

PROTECT YOURSELF WITH OUR MADERA PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Often, auto accidents occur because of a driver’s negligence. A driver may be negligent because he or she violated speed limits, ignored signals, or used a cell phone while driving. The burden of proving negligence falls on you, the victim.

A reputable Madera personal injury attorney like Jacob J. Rivas knows how to assemble the facts of your case and realistically quantify the extent of your injuries. No two auto accident lawsuits are the same. For example, motorcycle accidents have different factors from commercial trucking accidents.

HANDLE A WRONGFUL DEATH IN YOUR FAMILY WITH A MADERA PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT

A wrongful death can be the tragic consequence of another person’s negligence. A wrongful death claim is brought against the responsible party, usually by the victim’s relatives. In California, only certain eligible relatives can file a wrongful death suit, including:

Surviving spouses and children
Parents and siblings
Nieces and nephews

Grandparents
Putative spouses and their children
Stepchildren

If you are eligible to bring a wrongful death case, you may be able to claim some or all of the following damages:

Future earnings and lost benefits — Compensation for what your loved one would have provided.
Medical and funeral expenses — Costs arising from the deadly accident.
Loss of companionship — Loss from the absence of someone you love.
Pain and suffering — Mental anguish to those left behind.

The unexpected death of a loved one can have devastating consequences for family members. In addition to emotional pain, the family may face financial instability and additional hardships. Jacob J. Rivas, Attorney at Law, takes an attentive approach to all clients, especially those dealing with a wrongful death suit. Attorney Rivas does not rest until you get the results you deserve.
