PERSONAL INJURY
Emerson Law has a wealth of experience representing clients throughout California who have suffered a wide variety of injuries, including serious and catastrophic injuries.
A personal injury claim arises when a person has suffered harm due to the negligence or wrongful acts of another party. Personal injury claims commonly arise out of automobile accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicyclist accidents, slip and falls, trip and falls, and dog bites. Personal injury victims may recover for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages generally include medical expenses for hospital stays and doctor’s appointments, past and future lost wages, and any other monetary expenses the person incurred because of the injury; non-economic damages generally include recovery for pain and suffering and emotional distress.

Bicycle Accidents
Most cyclists are aware of the dangers of the road and take the necessary precautions. However, despite precautions you may take when cycling, an accident can occur through no fault of your own. Cyclists face many dangers on the road that can cause injury, including, but not limited to, drivers of automobiles, trucks, and buses. Often these vehicles fail to see cyclists even when they are in a designated bike lane.
Bicycle accidents can cause severe injuries. Often an individual is in shock after an accident and may not realize the full extent of the injuries he/she suffered right away. If you were involved in a bicycle accident, it is essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you believe it is minor.

Dog Bites
Dog bites can be physically and emotionally devastating. While California law imputes strict liability to the dog owner, dog bite cases are not always that straight forward. Proving a dog bite case and ensuring that you obtain fair compensation for your injuries requires thorough investigation, knowledge, skill, and research by an experienced attorney.
In California, people who are bitten by a dog are entitled to receive certain compensations for their injuries. Emerson Law can help you determine which of these you may qualify for and build your side of the case based on these qualifications. Damages sought usually include, but are not limited to:
• Medical bills
• Physical or vocational therapy
• Psychological counseling
• Pain and suffering
• Lost wages
• Limited earning capacity
If you have been involved in a dog bite incident and suffered significant injury, Emerson Law can help you. It is important that you seek medical attention right away even if you believe your injuries are minor since they may worsen later. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, you need to take photographs of the dog, the accident scene, and take down the contact information of all witnesses.

Premises Liability
Premises liability cases, include accidents such as slip and fall/trip and fall accidents. Slip and fall/trip and fall accidents can result in serious injuries from which a person may never fully recover. These accidents come in a variety of ways, including uneven surfaces, recently mopped or waxed floors, potholes, spilled liquids that are not cleaned up, issues with stairs, etc. If your accident occurred on someone else’s property or the property of a business as the result of an unsafe or negligent condition, you can pursue legal action to recover for your injuries, including medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering. You must provide that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition that caused the person’s injury. Proving this fact takes extensive investigation, research, knowledge, and expertise.
