Personal injury law covers situations where someone is harmed physically, emotionally, or psychologically due to another’s negligence or misconduct. Hillstone Law represents clients in a wide range of personal injury matters throughout California. Below are some of the most common types of cases we handle and how we can help.
Car and Truck Accidents
Accidents involving cars or trucks are among the most frequent kinds of personal injury cases. Causes can include distracted driving, fatigue, impaired driving, dangerous road conditions, defective vehicle parts, or malfunctions. Victims may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, damage to vehicles, reduced earning ability, and pain and suffering.
Catastrophic Injuries
These are injuries that permanently change someone’s life physically or mentally. Examples include traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury that results in paralysis, loss of limbs, severe burns, or blindness. Catastrophic injuries can lead to long term care needs, substantial expense, and emotional impacts. At Hillstone Law we work to hold negligent parties accountable and to secure compensation that addresses the full scope of these serious harms.
Dog Bites
Bites from dogs can cause infection, nerve or muscle damage, bone injuries, scarring, disfigurement, and emotional trauma. In California dog owners are generally strictly liable for damages from bites, even if they did not know the dog was aggressive. Hillstone Law helps clients recover damages for medical care, ongoing treatment, psychological effects, and related costs.
Fire Accidents
Injuries caused by fires may result from faulty consumer products, defective wiring, malfunctioning smoke detectors, flawed appliances, or other hazards. The damages often include physical injury, property loss, lengthy recovery periods, large medical bills, rehabilitation, and emotional suffering. Our attorneys assist in investigating the cause, establishing liability, and demanding full recovery for losses.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders on motorcycles face higher risk of serious injury because they have less physical protection. Common injuries include broken bones, traumatic brain injury, spinal damage, burns, or amputations. Motorcyclist accidents often occur because of driver error, failure to yield, speeding, distractions, or substance impairment. Hillstone Law helps motorcycle accident victims gather evidence, prove fault, and recover compensation.
Premises Liability and Trip & Fall Cases
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for those who enter legally. When they fail to do so, serious accidents can result. Examples include slip and fall incidents in stores or malls, poorly maintained walkways, unsafe stairways, playground injuries, and swimming pool accidents caused by defective equipment or lack of proper safety features. If a property owner knew or should have known about the hazard but did not correct it or warn people, they may be liable. Hillstone Law represents victims in these cases to recover for injuries, medical care, lost income and other damages.
