Personal injury law covers injuries resulting from another party's negligence or intentional actions. These injuries may be physical, emotional, or both.

Key Aspects:

Liability & Negligence: California follows the "comparative negligence" doctrine. This means injured parties may still recover damages even if partially at fault, though compensation will be reduced proportionally to their degree of responsibility.

Compensation: Injured parties may be entitled to:

l Medical expenses

l Lost wages

l Pain and suffering

l Emotional distress 

In cases of egregious misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish and deter particularly harmful behavior.

Statute of Limitations: California imposes a two-year filing deadline for personal injury claims, calculated from the date of injury.

Auto Accidents: As a "fault" state, California holds negligent drivers financially responsible for damages they cause in traffic collisions.

Dog Bite Injuries: California maintains strict liability for dog owners. Owners are typically responsible for injuries caused by their dogs biting someone, regardless of the animal's previous behavior.
