Other Personal Injuries
Martino and Rossi Law Firm, P.C. can represent you in whatever personal injury incident you suffer, including burn injuries, electrocution injuries, medical malpractice, and other injuries. Below are some common type of injury events we have represented plaintiff for:
Dog Bite or Other Animal Attack Injuries
If a dog bites you, you may be able to receive compensation for your medical expenses, as well as pain and suffering. Under California law, dog owners are responsible for your injuries, whether the dog was running loose, on a leash, tied up, or behind a fence. When a dog attacks you, it may also bite others. Seeking compensation from the dog owner for your injuries puts him or her “on notice” to change the dog’s behavior and limit its exposure to humans. Following an animal attack, it is imperative to report the attack to local authorities including any local animal control departments, and to seek appropriate medical attention.
If you are the victim of an animal attack, the attorneys at Martino and Rossi Law Firm, P.C. will advocate aggressively for you to get the compensation you deserve.
Trucking Accidents and Commercial Vehicle Accidents
With over 35 million commercial vehicles on U.S. Road, commercial trucks are the lifeline for commerce in the United States. Although they only account for 55 of all registered vehicles on the road, commercial trucks are involved in over 11% of all roadway fatalities.
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident with a big rig can be particularly traumatic and result in catastrophic injuries and sometimes death. If you have been injured by a commercial vehicle navigating the claims process with the insurance carriers can be particularly difficult. Often times the tractor or rig is owned by a separate entity that the trailer being towed which makes it challenging to determine order of coverage in serious injury cases.
Preserving evidence early is important when dealing with a commercial vehicle accident (i.e. tractor trailer, tanker trucks, dump trucks, garbage trucks, etc.). Our experienced injury attorneys at Martino & Rossi Law Firm are successful in securing crucial evidence to establish liability including video footage, data recordings, driving logs, etc. Often, there is video evidence recorded by cabin mounted camera that needs to be preserved. In addition to video recordings, most commercial trucks are equipped with Event Data Recorders (EDR) which record the vehicles speed at the time of the crash as well as other data points. Finally, there are cases where drivers are unfit to be on the road – they may have driven too long or had their license credentials suspended.
