What Do Personal Injury Attorneys Do?
Personal injury attorneys deal with what falls under Tort Law. Personal Injury involves civil law cases where you are trying to obtain compensation for a personal injury you sustained to your person. Personal Injury attorneys help you with any type of litigation involving physical injuries to your person. Personal injury lawyers help you with cases that could arise from being involved in an automobile accident, a railroad accident, airline or other common carrier accident, a construction or other workplace accident, being injured as a result of a dangerous or otherwise unsafe product and other injury-causing situations. However, personal injuries don't even necessarily have to be physical—they could be psychological.

Personal Injury Attorneys categorize psychological personal injuries as those that are typically caused by psychological trauma associated with life-threatening and/or disfiguring physical injuries, or as a result of witnessing trauma in others, or following personal escape from serious injury following a traumatic event. Before you can collect an award, your personal injury lawyer will have to prove that the defendant is liable. To prove liability, the accident attorney must also establish negligence.

Personal Injury Attorneys advice personal injury victims that if there is any failure on their part to exercise reasonable care to prevent injury or damage then there may be comparative (or contributory) negligence, where they and the other party both are at some degree of fault. If the personal injury victim wins, he/she may receive money (an award) to compensate for medical costs, lost wages and lost future earnings as well as possibly for pain and suffering and punitive damages.


California Wrongful Death:
Wrongful death law is an area of law that seeks to provide financial compensation to the family of a person whose death was caused by the negligent, willful, or wrongful act of another. In addition to receiving compensation for wrongful death, the family of the deceased can recover damages for personal injury to the decedent. Wrongful death can occur as the result of medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, defective products, premises fatality accidents, automobile fatality accidents and other negligent situations.

California Cemetary Malpractice:
The death of a loved one is always a traumatic experience. Unfortunately your grief can be compounded if you are deceived by a funeral home or cemetery that you and your family trusted. If the remains of your loved ones are mishandled, disposed of, lost, or improperly cremated, contact Amador L. Corona to handle this unique area of law. Attorney Corona will assert your rights and ensure that your loved one is treated with dignity and respect.

California Premises Liability:
In California, The owner or possessor of a residence, land, or place of business has a duty to exercise reasonable care for the protection of those individuals who are invited to come upon the premises. Failure to exercise this duty may result in liability for the owner of the property.

California Automobile & Motorcycle Accidents:
Legal claims that arise from vehicle accidents are typically governed by the law of negligence. Any individual who negligently operates a motor vehicle may be required to pay damages to an injured victim. A personal injury case involving a vehicle accident may become formalized through civil court proceedings, or may be resolved through an informal settlement before a lawsuit is filed. Vehicle accidents can include car accidents, boating accidents, motorcycle accidents, semi tractor trailer accidents and truck accidents, to name a few.

Defective Products:
Product liability refers to a manufacturer or seller being held liable for placing a defective product into the hands of a consumer. A person injured by a defective or dangerous product may be eligible to file a lawsuit for product liability, and recover damages under one of the following categories: strict product liability, negligence, or breach of warranty.

Spinal Cord Injuries:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the nerves within the spinal canal are damaged. Most SCI's are caused by trauma to the vertebral column, affecting the spinal cord's ability to send and receive messages from the brain to the body's systems that control sensory, motor and autonomic function. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of SCI, followed by acts of violence, falls, sports injuries including water sports and diseases such as polio, spina bifida, and Friedreich’s Ataxia. The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur; even a fracture can cause nerve damage and loss of motor skills.

Brain Injury:
Many serious vehicle and recreational accidents can result in severe injuries to the brain which in the worst case can require life-long treatment and care. Traumatic brain injury cases require special experience to demonstrate the evidence by use of the correct damage testimony, expert witnesses and documentation.
