Have you been injured in an accident that was someone else’s fault? If so, you may have a valid personal injury claim. A personal injury arises when a person’s body, mind, and / or emotions are injured as a result of the negligence, carelessness, or wrongful conduct of another person or entity.
Curtis Legal Group has helped many hundreds of victims and their families in Stockton, California, get justice when they have been hurt. When you need help to recover damages for your pain and suffering, medical bills, lost income, and other hardships that result from an accident caused by someone else’s mistake, we are here to be on your side.
Serious Injuries and Long-Term Consequences for Injury Victims
Personal injuries can occur in all kinds of scenarios, from slipping and falling to car accidents. These situations can cause immense suffering for injury victims and their families. Some individuals never fully recover from the harm they suffer and may never experience the same quality of life they once did.
As experienced Stockton personal injury attorneys, we have seen cases where our clients suffered many life-changing conditions, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal organ damage
- Burns
- Amputation
- Paralysis
If you are left with catastrophic injuries that cause permanent disability from the loss of a limb or your ability to walk, you may need ongoing medical care for months or years. You could be unable to care for yourself or work for the remainder of your life. Your family could suffer from a lack of financial stability. Filing a personal injury lawsuit can help you get compensation to cover the costs that arise from your serious injuries.
Personal injury victims should not have to face the consequences of another person or entity’s careless or intentional actions. When you are recovering from being hurt, you have enough on your mind and are likely suffering tremendous pain and difficulty. You need a Stockton personal injury attorney who can listen to your story and get to work managing your claim for the best possible result. At Curtis Legal Group, we are dedicated to working tirelessly for those who choose to trust us with their personal injury cases.
How Our Experienced Stockton Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help
When you have suffered a personal injury at the hands of another party or parties, you are probably confused and worried. How could that person or company have done something like this? Who can you turn to for help? We can provide the answers to your questions in a free initial consultation with our team of experienced personal injury attorneys at Curtis Legal Group.
We listen compassionately to your circumstances, explain our policies, and then get to work on your claim. Our lawyers examine every detail of the situation, gathering evidence, determining who is at fault, and building a robust case on your behalf. You can focus on getting better while we negotiate with the insurance companies, work out a fair settlement, and help you decide if it is time to take them to court.
You do not need to worry about paying an expensive retainer before we begin. We offer a contingency fee structure, which means if we do not secure a settlement or trial verdict for you, you do not have to pay us anything. We are committed to your full recovery by connecting you with medical and other experts who will provide estimates of your treatment needs, as well as proposals to repair any damaged property.
How Does a Personal Injury Lawsuit Work?
With nearly any kind of personal injury claim, we start by identifying the liable parties and filing a claim against their insurance. This may be automotive insurance for a car crash or commercial insurance for an injury you suffered on someone else’s property. Regardless of the situation, we can contact and communicate with these providers on your behalf.
This works for you because these insurance adjusters are not interested in your well-being. They want to protect their profits, and they will try nearly anything to reduce or deny your claim. They will say you hurt yourself somewhere else or that you contributed to the accident. Insurance companies do not care about your medical expenses, lost income, or any other expense you are suffering.
Our Stockton personal injury attorneys will negotiate aggressively for the payment you need for your losses. However, when the insurance company does not meet our demands, we are prepared from the beginning to take them to court. We present evidence showing how you were injured and who is to blame. We seek to obtain full financial recovery for your pain and suffering, including using receipts and records for your medical treatment and other damages.

Our team of attorneys has broad experience with a variety of personal injury cases. We stay up-to-date on changes in laws and the insurance industry so we can provide superior legal representation to victims who experience personal injury in the following scenarios:
Car Accidents
All you need to do is listen to a Stockton, CA traffic report to know that auto accidents occur on our streets and highways daily. Car accidents often result in injuries for one or more parties involved. If you were injured in a car accident and the other driver was at fault, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact our experienced Stockton car accident attorneys for a free case evaluation.
Distracted driving is the leading cause of vehicle accidents in the U.S., as well as in the state of California. Phones are the top distraction, followed by passengers and eating. Other factors in car crashes include:
- Aggressive driving (road rage)
- Drunk driving
- Driving while drowsy
- Failing to obey traffic signs and laws
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
If you or a loved one were injured in any type of roadway accident where a distracted driver was at fault, you have the right to seek compensation. Those who make bad decisions behind the wheel should not be able to hurt others and get away with it.
Pedestrian Accidents
Warm weather in Stockton, California is ideal for walking, jogging, cycling, and other outdoor activities. While pedestrians have the right of way, distracted or reckless drivers may not see a person walking or crossing the street. A pedestrian has no protection from injuries, often not even a helmet, which is why these accidents are serious and often fatal. The pedestrian accident attorneys at Curtis Legal Group can help you seek justice. Contact our legal team in Stockton today for a free consultation.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are common in California, yet these motorbikes are less visible to drivers due to their size. Riders also do not have the protection of a vehicle structure, putting them at serious risk of injury or death in a roadway collision. In fact, according to California’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), motorcycle riders suffered over 3,750 fatal crashes on our roads in a recent five-year reporting period.
Many people overlook the fact that if they were hurt as a passenger on a motorcycle, they have the right to seek compensation. They may file a claim against both the motorcycle operator and any other drivers, depending on the circumstances of the crash. If you or a loved one were injured in a motorcycle accident due to a reckless or negligent driver, contact the Stockton motorcycle accident attorneys at Curtis Legal Group to discuss your options in a free consultation.
Truck Accidents
When a smaller vehicle is involved in an accident with a large commercial truck, the results can be devastating. Commercial truck drivers are governed by specific laws and regulations under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) that are supposed to help them drive safely and protect other motorists.
However, pressure from their employers or a desire to cut corners can lead drivers to violate these regulations. This can lead to injury and lost lives when you are a victim of a truck crash. If you or a loved one were injured in a California truck accident, you can hold the driver, the trucking company, and any other liable parties accountable for your damages.
Bicycle Accidents
Vehicles are expected to share the road with cyclists. Yet, even when bicycle riders wear bright clothing and use reflectors and lights, drivers do not always see them until it is too late. Injuries from these accidents can be serious and even fatal. Curtis Legal Group can help victims of bike crashes and their families seek rightful compensation.
Dog Bites
Pet owners have a responsibility to the public to keep their pets sufficiently restrained, especially if the animal has a history of aggressive behavior. This includes both at the animal’s home and when the owner, family member, or dog walker has the dog in a public place. If an animal breaks free and bites, knocks down, or otherwise harms someone, the owner will need to be held accountable.
Exceptions include when someone is trespassing on the animal’s property or taunting the dog. However, even in these situations, you may still have a valid claim for compensation if you were seriously hurt by a dog who has been known to bite in the past.
If you have been bitten or attacked by a dog or other animal, the owner can be held liable. Curtis Legal Group can help you negotiate a settlement and / or file a lawsuit against the animal owner to recover damages for your losses.
Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Business and property owners are responsible for establishing and maintaining a safe environment for patrons. They must clean up, repair, and notify the public about any hazards such as spills, holes, bad lighting, or uneven flooring. They are even responsible for ice, puddles, and wet leaves on sidewalks and parking areas around their property.
If you slipped and fell due to someone’s negligence and sustained injuries, you may be entitled to compensation. These cases can be difficult to prove without careful investigation and substantial evidence, which is why you need the counsel of experienced slip-and-fall lawyers like those of Curtis Legal Group.
Wrongful Death
Under California law, a wrongful death occurs if someone’s actions or negligence cause another person’s death. These cases are highly complex and emotional, but the Stockton wrongful death attorneys at Curtis Legal Group have the experience necessary to handle your case discreetly. We combine compassion with our over 100 years of combined experience to seek justice for your family.
While a lawsuit will not bring back the loved one you lost, compensation can help relieve the financial stress you may be facing and punish the responsible parties so they don’t do the same thing to another family. Set up a free consultation to speak with our Stockton attorneys about your potential case today.
