Potential Compensation

In personal injury cases, the compensation you may be entitled to is designed to cover the various impacts of your injury, ensuring that you can recover both financially and emotionally. At Corren & Corren, we strive to secure comprehensive compensation for our clients, addressing all aspects of their losses.

Health Provider Expenses

Medical bills can quickly accumulate after an injury, covering everything from emergency room visits and surgeries to ongoing treatments and medications. Our goal is to ensure that all current and future medical expenses related to your injury are fully compensated, alleviating the financial burden of your recovery.

Lost Income

Injuries often result in time away from work, leading to lost wages and potential future earnings. We work to recover compensation for the income you’ve lost due to your injury, including any diminished earning capacity if your ability to work has been permanently affected. This ensures that you and your family can maintain financial stability during your recovery.

Pain and Suffering

Beyond the tangible financial losses, injuries can cause significant physical pain and emotional distress. Compensation for pain and suffering aims to address these non-economic damages, recognizing the impact that your injury has had on your quality of life. We advocate for fair compensation that reflects the true extent of your suffering and helps you move forward.

Real Property Ownership Litigation

On the third day of trial, after several years of litigation, we were able to obtain a settlement which confirmed our client’s interest in the family’s San Francisco property valued in excess of $1 million. The adverse in the case had previously insisted that our client’s only option was to walk away from the property without any money. Also involved were unfounded claims of elder abuse and breach of contract.

Wrongful Termination Breach of Contract

In several breach of contract cases against a large grocery store chain, our Plaintiff clients were ordered reinstated to their former jobs and recovered all of their lost wages, lost employment benefits, and interest after being wrongfully terminated.

Professional License Defense

At the conclusion of an administrative law hearing in front of an administrative law judge, all of the allegations against our client were dismissed, and our client's professional license was reinstated with no restrictions.

Overtime Class Action

In an overtime class action case, we obtained class certification from the Third District Court of Appeal, and then received an order from San Joaquin County Superior Court for the Defendant to pay unpaid wages to our Plaintiff class members in the amount of almost $700,000.00.

Failure to Accommodate/Physical Disability Discrimination

We received a six figure arbitration award for our security guard client when his employer failed to engage in the interactive process and failed to accommodate his chronic back condition.

FAQs

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

After a car accident, your first priority is to ensure your safety and the safety of others. Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene by taking photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Collect contact information from witnesses and exchange insurance details with the other driver. Report the accident to the police and obtain a copy of the police report. Contact Corren & Corren for legal advice to understand your rights and discuss your options for seeking compensation.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

To determine if you have a valid personal injury claim, consult with an attorney who can evaluate the specifics of your case. At Corren & Corren, we assess various factors, including the negligence of the other party, the extent and impact of your injuries, and the overall circumstances surrounding the incident. Our attorneys will provide a thorough evaluation and advise you on the best course of action to pursue your claim effectively.

What types of compensation can I receive for my injuries?

You may be entitled to several types of compensation, including coverage for medical expenses such as hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, and future medical care. Compensation may also cover lost income due to missed work, diminished earning capacity, and any impact on your future employment. Additionally, you can seek damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damages or loss of use. Our team works diligently to ensure you receive full and fair compensation for all your losses.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims varies by state. In California, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney at Corren & Corren promptly to ensure you meet all deadlines. Failing to file within the prescribed time frame may result in losing your right to pursue compensation.

What evidence is important in a personal injury case?

Key evidence in a personal injury case includes medical records documenting your injuries, photographs of the accident scene and your injuries, witness statements, and police reports. Additionally, keeping detailed records of your medical treatments, expenses, and any correspondence related to the accident is vital. Our team at Corren & Corren will assist you in gathering and organizing this evidence to build a strong case.

Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Yes, California follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still file a claim even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For instance, if you are found to be 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by that percentage. Our attorneys can help you navigate this process and work to maximize your recovery.

How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?

The duration of a personal injury case varies depending on its complexity, the severity of the injuries, and whether a settlement can be reached or if the case goes to trial. It can take anywhere from several months to a few years to reach a resolution. Corren & Corren is committed to handling your case efficiently while ensuring you receive the best possible outcome.

Do I need a lawyer to handle my personal injury claim?

While it is not mandatory to have a lawyer handle your personal injury claim, having legal representation significantly increases your chances of a successful outcome. Our firm provides expert legal representation, helping you navigate the complexities of personal injury law, gathering necessary evidence, negotiating with insurance companies, and advocating for your rights throughout the litigation and trial process.
