PERSONAL INJURY

When you or someone you love has been injured by someone else's negligence, you need to find an attorney that you like and trust. A personal injury claim takes time to develop and come to a settlement or verdict. You don't want to work with someone that you dislike or that you don't trust. This can cause a lot of trouble down the road. Call Lem today for excellent personal service.

The number one complaint clients have about their attorney is that they are inaccessible. At Lem Garcia Law, you can rest assured that all of your calls, messages, and e-mails will be returned within 24 hours. You can also have the peace of mind that your case will be handled by the principal attorney, Lem Garcia, and not be delegated to a junior attorney or non-attorney in the office.

BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS

The roads have become an all-too popular meeting place for distracted drivers, speeding cyclists, hard-to-see runners, and carefree pedestrians. Bicycle and pedestrian accidents can be catastrophic - especially when a car is involved. In the event you are hit by a car while you're biking, running, or walking, it is critical that you take immediate steps to protect your legal rights and hire an attorney as soon as possible. 


PRODUCT DEFECTS

As consumers of goods, we should be able to trust that the products we purchase for everyday use will not cause us injury. Unfortunately, every year, defective products cause various injuries to many consumers. Products are often defective because they were designed poorly, manufactured poorly, or advertised improperly. The injuries sustained by defective products can often be serious or even fatal. 

If you believe that you have been injured by a defective product, it is important that you contact a skilled, knowledgeable attorney to handle what can often be complex and require a lot of hard work and determination. 


PREMISES LIABILITY/SLIP AND FALL

A slip and fall accident can occur anywhere and when you least expect it. You can be walking down a grocery store aisle or walking down the street one moment and writhing in pain on the floor the next moment. Not all situations give rise to a premises liability claim, but valid premises liability claims are settled and won every year. When you've been hurt on someone else's property, whether it be in an office building or the mall, it is important that you talk to a skilled attorney to help you recover what you deserve.

Without talking to an attorney, it is likely that you will get the runaround and ultimately give up trying to recover anything for your injury. The last person property owners and managers want to talk to after a fall is Lem Garcia, West Covina slip and fall lawyer.


WRONGFUL DEATH

The loss of a loved one is a horrible and tragic event and may be one of the hardest things to deal with. When the loss occurs through the negligent, reckless, or intentional act of another, a wrongful death claim can result. This means that the victim's immediate family (spouse, children, and parents) can file a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their loss.

A wrongful death claim can arise from any type of personal injury case, such as car accidents, work accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and defective products, among many other accidents. If a loved one of yours has been lost prematurely because of another party's actions, West Covina wrongful death attorney, Lem Garcia, can help you find the closure you need during this life-altering, emotional time. 


     

    NURSING HOME ABUSE

    It is extremely difficult to have to place a loved one in a nursing home or an assisted living facility. Federal and State laws require the highest safety standards for nursing homes to uphold, but too often nursing homes become a place of abuse rather than comfort. Nursing homes are required by law to provide plenty of food and nourishment, adequate medical care, and a safe haven free from mental and physical abuse. Unfortunately, sometimes nursing homes put a priority on profits instead of people.

    It has been reported that nearly 1 in 3 elderly people is abused in nursing facilities. The most common problems include lack of nourishment, poor hydration, insufficient sanitation and hygiene, and inadequate medical care. The worst cases of abuse include taunting, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. If you believe that you or a loved one is suffering from nursing home abuse, call Lem as soon as possible.


    DOG BITES

    Sometimes man's best friend can turn into man's worst enemy. According to the CDC, approximately 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs every year - half of these are children. On average, 1 out of every 5 dog bites are so severe that the victim needs medical attention. In California, the dog owner is liable for the injuries and damages caused by the dog's bite. In dog bite cases, it is critical that a proper investigation is launched and the proper legal issues are analyzed.


     

    FOREIGN OBJECTS IN FOOD

    Sometimes we're told to watch what we eat. Nobody ever told us to watch out when you eat. Unfortunately, there are times when the companies and people that manufacture and prepare our food negligently include something in our food that shouldn't be there. If you've lucky, you've been able to avoid that situation or you've been able to find the foreign object before you swallowed it.

    If you haven't been so lucky, and you have swallowed a foreign object while eating, it is important that you seek the advice of an attorney to help you get what you deserve. In the meantime, make sure to keep the item of food that the foreign object was found it and save the foreign object if possible.
