Santa Maria personal injury attorneys can review the factors surrounding your injury and devise a strategy to prove negligence and maximize your recovery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"WebText\">The Supreme Court case ruling that changed how Californiacourts view negligence was <em>Li v. Yellow Cab Co<\/em>. In this case both the plaintiff and the defendant contributed to causing the accident. Prior to this case, California courts did not allow parties whose negligence contributed to an accident to recover damages. Yet in this case, the Supreme Court set a new precedent by deciding that the plaintiff had the right to compensation. Even so, the court reduced the amount of damages the plaintiff could recover based on her percentage of fault. In the legal world, lawyers refer to this type of negligence law as pure comparative negligence. Even if a plaintiff is 99 percent at fault, they still have the right to recover one percent of damages. The main factor involved in a negligence case is proving the other party was negligent and presenting their actions in such a light that the court assigns the party a significant percentage of fault. Under California Civil Code \u00a71714, anyone lacking ordinary care or skill who causes someone else injury is responsible for damages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"WebText\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jamesmckiernanlawyers.com\/about-us\/our-team\/\">California accident litigators<\/a> can protect your rights in an accident injury case by thoroughly investigating how the accident occurred and by working diligently to gather evidence and interview witnesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"WebText\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jamesmckiernanlawyers.com\/\">James McKiernan Lawyers<\/a> has established a reputation for being successful in accident cases.
