Areas of Law Description

The Reeves Law Group in Ventura, California helps personal injury victims in all aspects of personal injury law including (not limited to) the following:

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

As a personal injury victim that has been involved in a car accident, you should not rely on or trust that the insurance company has your best interest in mind. They work hard to protect their financial interests, and that is why they hire their own insurance adjusters, private investigations and attorney's. Their main focus is to decrease the amount of compensation made to injury victims such as yourself.

You should never settle without legal assistance or make their job simpler by giving them pertinent information that they can use to manipulate your claim. Hire the best auto accident attorney that will be proactive at protecting your interests and obtaining a fair settlement for your injuries.

- Motorcycle Accidents

Out of the different types of automotive collisions, motorcycle accidents are the most dangerous in almost every instance. You unfortunately don't have the protective safety features that a car has such as airbags, sturdy frames and seat belts. Often times motorcycle accidents occur because of other drivers that do not pay adequate attention to motorcycle drivers on the road. A motorcycle is a lot harder to see if a driver isn't paying attention, and therefore you may be injured because of someone elses's negligence. A responsible Encino motorcycle accident attorney will do the following:

• Look in to the accident thoroughly utilizing their legal expertise and years of experience
• Ensure that all evidence is preserved before it is lost
• Get proper information from witnesses that can benefit your case
• Create or obtain pictures from the motorcycle crash scene
• Ensure that the defendant's fault is clearly understood
• Review the motorcycle and safety equipment to make sure there weren't any noticeable or problematic defects.
• Meet all deadlines to file your claim with insurance and the courts
• Go after all responsible parties that are liable for your injuries
• Hire talented specialists to assist in your case
• Recover all medical costs, lost wages and other possible expenses
• Increase the pain and suffering damages that you rightfully deserve

- Truck Accidents

Any individual that has been hit by a large truck or semi knows that these large vehicles can be extremely dangerous because of their size and weight. They unfortunately are not able to maneuver easily and can quickly become the liable party if they don't take all precautions to be a safe driver. Typically damages from a trucking accident will be much greater than most automotive accidents.

When a truck driver is at fault for a crash with a smaller vehicle, the following issues often times contributed to the collision:

• Driver fatigue
• Abuse of substances while driving or prior to driving
• Speeding contributes to truck crashes
• Improper loading of the vehicle which reduced vehicle performance
• Lack of proper inspection and/or maintenance
• Poor manufacturing or vehicle defects
• Negligence of the trucking employer that put the driver at risk for a collision.

- Rollover Vehicle Accidents

Rollover accidents can cause extreme injuries, and often times car manufacturer's can be held liable if the vehicle wasn't properly designed to withstand force when a vehicle rolls. All vehicles can rollover given dangerous driving circumstances; however there are certain vehicles that have a very high center of gravity which make the automobile more prone to roll over during driving maneuvers. It is extremely important to contact a talented Encino rollover accident attorney after you have been in your rollover accident to ensure that the insurance company doesn't take advantage of you during your claim.

- Bus Accidents

The transit system is extremely valuable and often times operated very well. However, when you step foot in to a city bus you expect that the vehicle is driven by a fully rested and responsible driver that is obeying all driving regulations. Unfortunately school bus accidents occur as well, and a school bus accident is the last thing you would expect your child to go through.

Since there are many ways that a bus crash can occur, the main question that the insurance company and state will want to know is who is at fault for the injuries and damages. In crashes where there are multiple parties involved, the bus accident scene and witnesses will need to be thoroughly examined by your lawyer early after the crash to help determine who is at fault. The lawyer will need to determine who operated the vehicle, the company that is responsible and who the owner of the bus is. After you have been injured, finding an attorney that will investigate these specifics immediately after the accident is crucial to winning your case. If you or a loved one was injured in a bus accident, you must find the right Encino bus accident lawyer to help you win your case and avoid abuse from the insurance companies.

- Uninsured, Under-insured Motorist Coverage

Under-insured and completely Uninsured motorists bring a large problem to the table in auto accidents that occur in California. Fortunately the rate is declining, however this seems to be a problem that will likely never go away completely. Recently the estimated number of uninsured or under-insured drivers on the road hovers at around 15%. Another down side is that research shows these drivers to be more likely to get in to a car crash than insured drivers. Typically statistics show that they tend to be young male drivers with older and less safe vehicles. If you are injured by an uninsured or under-insured motorist, you need an attorney that is able to talk to your insurance company and create a lawsuit or claim to help recover damages that you have suffered in the car accident.

- Train Accidents

Train accidents are often times rare, however they do happen on a regular basis in California. The amount of stress and financial repercussions that occur are often times massive. The good news is that the law offers some valuable recourse to the victims in these types of accidents. Whether you were injured traveling on a train or struck by a train while driving, you may not be at fault for the collision and rightfully deserve compensation for injuries, lost wages and other damages. If you or a loved one was injured, you need to find out if you have a solid case. Contact a talented Encino train accident attorney to increase your chances of obtaining a settlement for your losses.

- Premises Liability

Premises liability is a legal issue when you become the victim of injuries due to unsafe conditions on a companies or person's property. The number of possible cases for premises liability is nearly limitless because so many different injuries can occur due to someone else's negligence. These individuals need to ensure their residence or place of business is safe for others.

These types of accidents would likely include: slip and falls, drownings, burns, fires, roof cave-ins, broken glass, dog attacks, low quality or lack of security and more. If you think you may have a case, contact a professional Encino premises liability lawyer to review your case.

- Construction Site Accidents

The number of individuals employed in the construction field in California is large. Unfortunately the conditions surrounding a construction site can often times be dangerous. It is very easy for someone to endure major injuries from faulty or dangerous equipment or possibly a fall from a high location while working on a property.

In these types of cases, time is of the essence. Often times construction sites can change quickly and evidence can be hidden or compromised if an attorney doesn't start researching your case immediately. Finding an experienced lawyer with a large amount of resources will help ensure that the investigation begins immediately and that all responsible parties are held liable in your lawsuit or claim.

- Slip and Fall

Slip and fall injuries are the 2nd largest cause of injuries in the USA. These injuries unfortunately are estimated to cause sixteen thousand deaths annually. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident, make sure to contact a reputable attorney to review your case.

- Assault and Battery Injuries

The only recourse that many assault and battery victims have against the person that committed the crime is going after criminal prosecution and financial damages. Many victims do not know that they are able to sue the assailant to obtain financial compensation for the damages as well as pain and suffering.

- Fires and Explosions

The most common fire related injuries occur because of gas leaks, boiler explosions and other less common circumstances. No matter the reason that you or a loved one have sustained burn injuries because of another parties negligence, you must contact a respectable Encino personal injury attorney to review your case and investigate the situation to help build a quality case that will help you recover financial obligations due from the defendant.

- Catastrophic Injuries

A catastrophic injury can stem from many different types of injuries. Some of the more common ones include major burns, amputations, back or spine injuries, loss of vision, nerve damage, and major fractures.

- Wrongful Death

Wrongful and accidental deaths are a terrible ordeal to go through. A large number of deaths occur because someone was negligent in one of a variety of ways which lead to the death. According to a report from the National Safety Council, a death from an injury happens every five minutes.

- Brain Injuries

Brain damage can be brought on by a large number of causes, including a botched operation, a major auto accident, toxic industrial injuries, a major trauma to the cranium, a slip-and-fall injury and the list goes on. Unfortunately, brain injuries are often times something that individuals cannot recover from and in many instances the person cannot work again in their life. Therefore, you cannot take this circumstance lightly, and you must hire a specialist with the knowledge and experience in these types of cases to file a lawsuit that will take care of the individual for a long time to come.

An attorney with an excellent track record for success in these types of cases should be visited immediately after the injuries occur. The faster you get in touch with an attorney the better, because often times evidence can be hidden or manipulated by another party if they have time to do so.

- Product Liability

Consumers of products put a large amount of trust in to the companies that manufacture products for consumption or use. Typically consumers are safe, however there are a large number of instances where products are not created properly or are defective, and should not be sold to the public. If you have sustained injuries or damages because of a faulty product, you must contact a product liability attorney with experience to fight for your rights.

- Roof Crush

A roof crush occurs during a rollover accident. The roof crush happens when the roof that is designed to protect the passengers and withstand great force fails to do it's job properly, and the roof comes down on the passengers inside of the vehicle. If vehicles are designed properly, the injuries are often times substantially lower. Typically if the roof comes down on passenger's, the injuries become majorly more severe because of the roof injuring passengers.

- Food Poisoning

If you believe that you have contracted food poisoning, make sure to seek medical help immediately. Following medical treatment, you must speak with an attorney that is experienced in handling these types of cases as soon as possible. Typically, like all other personal injury cases, the initial consultation is free of charge and you will pay no attorney costs unless we win your case.

- Asbestos Mesothelioma, Lung Cancer and Other Asbestos-Related Diseases

There are an estimated 2,500 people each year that die from malignant mesothelioma. This is a rare form of cancer that attacks a person's cells in the protective sacs surrounding internal organs. This can occur from unknown reasons, however this is often times brought on by prolonged exposure to asbestos.

- Car Defects

If you are in a car accident, you must hire an attorney that spends some time reviewing and investigating your case to determine whether your vehicle had any defects that would increase the amount of injuries sustained during the accident. If you have serious injuries because of a suspected defect to your vehicle, please contact an experienced attorney to review your case.

- Airplane Crashes

No matter the type of airplane crash you were involved in; whether it was a jumbo jet, a small private plane, a helicopter, or an ultralight - a qualified attorney will thoroughly research your case and aggressively pursue financial compensation for damages. You must hire a law firm with the experience and resources to thoroughly investigate the accident so that the true fault can be determined.

- Drunk Driving Accident Victims

If you are hit by a driver that was driving while intoxicated, you can endure substantial physical and financial losses. The extreme negligence of the other party caused the damages and injuries that you or a loved one received, and you must hire an attorney to investigate the circumstances to find a way to obtain compensation.

- Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Abuse

Under-staffing or abuse in nursing homes is a terrible situation that causes physical and emotional harm to the victims and their families. A CHF study revealed that 95 percent of California nursing homes did not meet federal recommendations and laws for acceptable staffing. Almost a quarter of the state's nursing homes weren't able to meet less rigorous standards.

If you believe that your family member has been mistreated or neglected in a nursing home, you must contact an attorney with experience in these types of cases to investigate the negligence or abuse and help you obtain compensation for mistreatment and suffering.

- Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrian accidents are unfortunately one of the most dangerous accidents that a person can go through. A person that is unprotected and hit by an oncoming vehicle has no protection from the heavy vehicle that strikes them. A pedestrian accident lawyer will be able to assist you in understanding your legal options in your individual circumstances and will be able to oversee a lawsuit if they believe that you have a solid case.
