Aliso Viejo Personal Injury Attorney

It can. The CDC notes that some concussion symptoms appear right away while others may not appear for hours or days, so get checked promptly, keep every follow-up appointment, and write down symptoms as they show up. A brain or spinal cord injury claim is valued on the whole course of recovery, including future care and lost earning capacity, so the firm works to understand that picture before any settlement discussion.

It depends on who owns and maintains the spot. The city says the Aliso Viejo Community Association maintains most slopes, medians, and parks, while the city owns Iglesia Park; stores and restaurants are responsible for their own premises; and Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park is under the jurisdiction of OC Parks. A claim against the city, the County, or a school district generally must be presented within six months, so the exact location, photos, and any incident report are gathered first.

Possibly, but trail cases are different. California Government Code section 831.4 generally protects public entities from liability for injuries caused by the condition of a trail used for hiking, riding, and similar recreation. Someone else may still be responsible, such as another rider, a driver, or the maker of a defective bike or helmet, so the cause of the injury is pinned down first. Any claim against the County generally must be presented within six months.

It depends on where the crash happened. Collisions on city streets are handled by Aliso Viejo Police Services, part of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and the Sheriff’s Records unit releases collision reports to the people involved, their insurers, and their attorneys. Crashes on the 73 are handled by the California Highway Patrol’s Capistrano Area office. Keep the report number you were given at the scene.

For most injury lawsuits, two years from the injury (Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1). A claim against a public entity comes first and has a much shorter clock: if the City of Aliso Viejo, the County of Orange, or a school district may be responsible, a written government claim is generally due within six months (Government Code section 911.2). Claims against a doctor or hospital follow a separate rule with its own time limits (Code of Civil Procedure section 340.5).
