Pedestrian Accident

Drivers have an obligation to allow pedestrians to cross the road safely, and must pay attention to their surroundings and speed, especially where crosswalks are present. Despite the common knowledge that pedestrians have the right of way, not all drivers are equally vigilant. Sometimes, pedestrians are struck by motor vehicles. The outcome is almost always disastrous.

Dog Bite

A dog bite injury can be a troubling and confusing experience for both victim and at-fault party. While no dog owner wants dog bites to occur, the fact remains that they do happen.

Even when a dog bite is considered an accident, California law holds the dog’s owner liable for accidents that occur due to their negligence. Timothy J. Ryan & Associates are sensitive to the traumatic and stressful nature of dog bite cases. We are here to help you understand your rights and learn how we can help you get the justice you deserve.

Slip & Fall

If you slip and fall on someone else’s property due to no fault of your own, you are entitled to seek compensation. Property owners owe their guests a well-maintained and safe environment, reasonably free of the risk of injury. When the owner fails to safely manage their property, they can be held responsible for any damages sustained by slip and fall victims.

To learn about the process of a slip and fall claim, reach out to Timothy J. Ryan & Associates to schedule a free legal consultation. We’d love to talk about your specific claim and discuss how we can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries are those that cause their victims overwhelming physical damage, pain, suffering, and emotional distress. They permanently change victims’ lives and the lives of their immediate families. Compensation for these injuries cannot always undo the damage or pain that has been inflicted, but a fair settlement can ease financial strain and help victims feel that a measure of justice has prevailed. When an at-fault party’s negligence results in catastrophic injuries, their insurance company knows it may be forced to pay out a large sum if the victim can win at trial.

If you’ve been in a catastrophic accident, call us to schedule your free legal consultation. We’d like to tell you about your right to compensation and how we can help you get it.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death is characterized by loss of life due to the negligence, intentional acts, or misconduct of another person. When a loved one has been lost due to wrongful death, the victim’s estate or immediate relatives may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim to obtain compensation. This includes pushing compensation for losses the victim’s survivors suffered due to a criminal act.

The death of a loved one is often a traumatic event, even under the best of circumstances. You are not alone. If you suspect the loss of your loved one was due to wrongful death, reach out to Timothy J. Ryan & Associates to learn about how we can help guide you through a claim.

Rideshare Accident

After an accident while using a rideshare service, you may be wondering how you can get compensated for your injuries. Insurance for rideshare services is confusing and convoluted.

In the past, rideshare drivers weren’t technically employees, so their personal car insurance providers covered any bodily damage to passengers. In recent years, however, rideshare drivers have become protected employees of rideshare companies, allowing them some coverage through the company’s insurance policy. There are layers involved in this insurance, and it may not cover all damages in all situations.

If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident, contact our knowledgeable Orange County rideshare accident lawyer to help you recover the full and fair compensation for your damages.

Negligent Security

When visiting someone else’s property, there is an expectation that the property owner take reasonable measures to ensure your safety. When these measures are neglected and you get injured as a result, the law says you have the right to pursue compensation for negligent security.

Many people are unaware of the potential for filing a negligent security claim after injury due to inadequate safety measures or an outright criminal incident provoked by lack of security. If the person responsible for that location knew about a shortfall in security, such as insufficient lighting or lack of security personnel or cameras, you may be able to hold them responsible for your damages.
