A Torrance personal injury attorney will tell you this up front: if you're hit by an Uber or Lyft, three different insurance periods can apply depending on whether the driver was waiting for a ride request, en route to pick you up, or had you in the car. That detail alone can change who pays and how much.
Same goes for slip and falls. An unmarked wet floor at a place like Del Amo Fashion Center can support a premises liability claim, but California's comparative negligence rule still applies: if you're found 20% at fault on a $100,000 case, you recover $80,000, not zero. And if the at-fault party was a drunk driver or acted with malice, punitive damages can come on top of that.
Deadlines matter just as much as fault. Most injury claims in California have to be filed within two years, but if a city vehicle, public hospital, or school district was involved, you only get six months to file a written claim against the government entity.
