The smart phone has completely revolutionized the world we live in today. The power and portability of these devices allows users to stay connected and provides access to knowledge and information that was never previously available to them. What many people don’t know is that the continued development and improvement of the lithium ion battery was the building block for this revolution, and it has propelled the United States to the forefront of the portable electronics industry.
The advent of battery technology has enabled the development and expansion of many different industries. The lithium ion battery is the most significant in terms of use and scope, and is used to power nearly all of our smart phones, tablets and laptops. These batteries are powerful and portable, but with that power comes some dangers. Lithium Ion batteries have had a history of explosion and failure in certain applications, including smart phones and E-Cigarettes. Consensus in the industry is that these explosions are caused by the excess buildup of heat in or around the battery. This can be caused by a variety of different factors, many of which have nothing to do with the user at all, and instead are due to design or production flaws.
Injuries
Injuries related to the ignition or explosion of smart phones have been found to be very serious in many cases. When the battery inside one of these devices fails, extreme heat and pressure are created and instantly released in the form of fire and explosion, causing serious damage to person and property. Injuries reported from these instances vary in scope and severity and include:
If you have been injured while using or charging your smart phone, or while it was on your person, it is imperative that you get medical attention right away.

This is my second time hiring Mr. Choyce for my son, who was charged with a criminal act. Both times that I hired Mr. Choyce, I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law, his professionalism, and the fact that he was relatable. He is trustworthy, tells you the truth about what you are facing. He is organized, he is a very good listener, came up with strategies that were appealing.I can’t say enough good about Mr. Choyce! I knew that he was going to give my son’s case everything he had, and he did!
Hiring the Choyce Law Firm was the best decision I made while trying to decide what to do after getting charged with a 3rd DUI. I tried to use a lawyer that I had previously used when in trouble with the law, he was near retirement and wasn’t able to give my case the attention I was looking for understanding that I was facing jail time. When contacting Mr Choyce we discussed my case and he told me he could help, he even knew my previous attorney. Mr Choyce was aggressive in fighting my case with filing motions on my behalf an trying to get my case dismissed, I was very pleased that he was not just looking to get the first deal the D.A. offered but was aggressively trying to win my case. Although we were not able to get the dismissal we were looking for he was able to keep me out of jail an I was able to serve my sentence on the EHD Program, which allowed me to keep my job an that was very important to me. Mr Choyce also handled a second case for me, I was charged with driving on a suspended license and no registration. Once again Mr Choyce was aggressive with this case and took it to trail an was able to get a not guilty verdict, which saved me a great deal of money in fines that would be pending with a guilty verdict. Overall hiring Mr Choyce and his team was the best decision I made, he provided great service at a respectable rate, an explained things as they were happening and with the charges I was facing I was very happy with the outcome of my cases that he handled. I would strongly recommend Mr Choyce and his team to anyone I know that needs legal representation he knows the law and will provide you with the best service you could hope for form a lawyer that wants to win.
“This is my second time using Mr. Choyce, and I would choose no one other than him. Both times that I hired him, it was for my son, and they were very serious cases. Mr. Choyce is smart, professional, practical, and relatable. He is a serious person, who listens, speaks in laymens terms, so that you understand what is going on. Not like some that I have experience, who talk over you, and dont take the time to really answer your questions.The second case got very close to going to trial, however, I was confident that I had the best of the best representing my son. Thank God that after willing to go to trial, we got a deal that, I think was a win win.I would definitely, without a question, hire Mr. Choyce again!”
Defective products cause serious injuries all the time. With the growing popularity of e-cigarettes comes the increase of e-cigarette related injuries. If you have been injured from an electronic cigarette or another defective product, call one of our personal injury lawyers for legal advice.
In the last couple decades, the world has seen significant progress in the development of small, lightweight and powerful battery technology. Specifically, the rechargeable lithium ion battery has revolutionized the portable electronics industry. The advent of this technology has brought a flood of innovation in the small electronics space, and the e-cigarette is one of the fastest growing products in the category. E-Cigs were developed in China in the early 2000’s, and made their way into the United States and Europe a few years later. Skyrocketing in popularity over the next few years, E-Cigarettes are now used by more than 2.5 million Americans and it represents a multi-billion dollar industry.
Cigarettes are one of the most heavily regulated products sold in the United States, but E-Cigarettes have yet to gain the same level of attention from regulators. According to the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), only E-Cigs marketed for “therapeutic purposes” are regulated by the FDA. It should be noted however, that this lack of regulation will likely be short lived as law makers and regulators across the country scramble to develop a regulatory framework to combat the dangers of vaping. If you have any questions, contact one of our personal injury lawyers for a free consultation.
The advent of battery technology has propelled our country into the age of portable and powerful electronics. The lithium ion battery is the most significant in terms of use and scope, and is used to power nearly all of our smart phones, tablets, laptops, and yes, E-Cigarettes. These batteries are incredibly powerful and useful, but they do have their drawbacks. When used in applications that involve heat generation (like an E-Cig), there is a heightened risk of failure, fire and/or explosion. The battery in an E-Cigarette is placed near a heating element that is used to vaporize the liquids that users smoke. This proximity to the heating element creates an inherent danger and increases the chances of a catastrophic failure.
The size of ER-Cigarettes and the batteries that power them may come as a surprise to many after they have witnessed the aftermath of a catastrophic failure of one of these devices. An incredible amount of damage to yourself and your property can be caused by vaping explosions. The main injuries reported by victims of vaping explosions include:
If you have been injured while vaping, or experienced a catastrophic E-Cigarette failure while it was on your person, it is imperative that you get medical attention right away. Even if you do not feel injured or see any visible signs of injury, do not treat the situation lightly. E-Cigarettes and the batteries that power them contain powerful chemicals that can burn your skin. The personal injury lawyers at this law firm have deep experience and practice in product liability law and will fight to get you the compensation that you deserve. Please call us for a free consultation today!

The period of time during which you can file a lawsuit varies depending on the type of legal claim. For example, with personal injury cases, you have two years to file from the time of the injury. If the injury was not discovered right away, then it is 1 year from the date the injury was discovered. For a breach of written contract, its four years from the date the contract was broken and two years for an oral contract. Any property damage lawsuits have 3 years from the date the damage occurred.
If you fail to go to court and file a lawsuit against those who have injured you within the 2 year time frame, the court will likely refuse to hear your case at any time in the future and your right to compensation will be lost. There is a time limit of 6 months to file an injury claim against a government entity and claimants must adhere to a strict set of procedural rules. In some personal injury cases, the defendant may make the argument that you’re actually to blame(at least partially) for causing the accident that forms the basis of your claim. If you do share some level of liability, it can end up affecting the total amount of compensation you’ll end up receiving from other at-fault persons and businesses. In shared fault injury cases, California follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule which basically means the amount of compensation you’re entitled to will be reduced by an amount that is equal to your percentage of fault for the accident.
There is a strict liability for dog attack cases. Unlike most states, California does not adopt the “one bite” rule which gives dow owners exceptions for the first time their dog attacks someone. In California, the owner is “strictly liable” regardless of the times the dog has bitten someone.
Because lawsuits are a long and complicated process, contact Sacramento accident attorneys at The Choyce Law Firm immediately so you can get started on getting the compensation you deserve.
Your interests and those of your insurance company will conflict, especially when an uninsured or underinsured motorist injures you. In this case, you will seek compensation from your own insurance company. In every car accident, your insurer will pay your medical bills and lost wages. But it is through the insurer’s investigation of the accident that determines total financial payout. It is vital that you contact an auto accident attorney at the Law Firm whose only interest is to obtain maximum compensation for you. Many insurance companies give out advice that should be followed at the scene of an accident. These include calling the police; not admitting fault at the scene; exchanging insurance information with the other driver; and obtaining the other driver’s name, address, phone number, license plate number etc.
The final piece of advice is to notify your insurance agent immediately. Although your policy obligates you to notify your insurance company of any accidents, your attorney should personally do so if injuries were involved. Without notifying your lawyer, you may make mistakes that will go against you in the future. Employees at the insurance company are trained to investigate accident cases to defend against fraudulent and exaggerated claims in order to protect their company’s pocket. Sometimes insurance companies misrepresent the amount of their policy limits in order to settle cases for far less than justified by the nature of the injuries. In some cases, insurance adjusters might advise claimants to avoid getting an attorney because the lawyer would supposedly take all of the money. It is important to understand that contacting your lawyer first is always safer and wiser.
If you were injured due to the negligence of another, regardless of the nature of the underlying accident, it is important to contact an experienced injury attorney to discuss your legal options.
The Choyce Law Firm has the resources and expertise to aggressively litigate your case in court, fighting to get you just compensation for your injury.

Personal injury is a category of civil law in which a citizen files a legal claim against another person or entity. Personal injury is a way for individuals who have incurred injury to gain compensation against the responsible party. With the help of a Sacramento personal injury lawyer, injured parties may file claims against:
There are many circumstances that may reasonably lead to a personal injury suit, but some are more common than others. Some of the most common types of personal injury claims are mentioned below. If you have found yourself in one of these situations, call a Sacramento personal injury lawyer immediately for legal representation.
This is the common charge made against individuals who are responsible for car collisions and other such instances in which the liable individual behaved negligently, resulting in the plaintiff’s injuries. This relies on the fact that each of us has a general duty of ordinary care that we will act reasonably given certain circumstances. This is a very broad area of personal liability and centers around the negligent party acting unreasonably and causing injury to another individual.
Injuries caused by defective products are related to product liability – the responsibility of the designers, manufacturers, distributors, and other individuals involved in the process of creating a product and getting it in the hands of consumers to do so safely. In these cases, it must be shown that the plaintiff received injuries due to the product that was defective as sold. Obviously there are many individuals who could be responsible for this injury and often large companies that may make it difficult to pursue legal action. For that reason, it’s highly encouraged to speak to a Sacramento personal injury lawyer.
Business owners or managers have a duty of care for all individuals who enter their property. Leaving their property in a manner that may result in injury is a negligence on the part of the responsible party and the cost of any subsequent injury should be their liability. Details include:
Private property owners are not out of reach, and some circumstances may give the right to personal injury claims even to trespassers.
Doctors have a responsibility to their patients. They are required to exercise a degree of skill, knowledge, and care in their treatment of patients. This is the case not only for surgeries, but for prescriptions and even diagnoses. Because these cases are quite complicated, it’s best to seek legal advice from a highly skilled Sacramento personal injury lawyer. A medical malpractice case can include the following details:
Elder abuse is defined as any intentional or negligent behavior by a caregiver or other individual that results in the harm or serious risk of harm to a vulnerable adult. This abuse often occurs at nursing homes and other treatment settings. If a loved one has experienced any type of elder abuse, contact a Sacramento personal injury lawyer immediately to learn what legal actions you can take.
Elder abuse affects approximately 11% of elder persons each year in the United States, according to the Department of Justice. America is home to more than 40 million persons 65 years old or older, meaning there are at least 4 million elders abused each year in the US alone.
Much of the abuse, 90% according to the National Council on aging, is carried out by family members such as adult children or spouses. Abuse in nursing homes has been a large problem in America as these institutions often are run by inexperienced individuals and often don’t undergo as much inspection as they should.
When people think of elder abuse, they may think of impatient caregivers physically striking the elder individuals who depend on their care. However, there’s much more to it than that. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, there are seven general categories that define most forms of elder abuse, such as:
Abuse can take a variety of forms and it’s always best to consult with an experienced Sacramento personal injury lawyer as it pertains to your situation.
To have a strong case against an individual for assault and battery, the following must be shown:
There are various types of compensation that may be sought in a personal injury claim, such as:
Generally, individuals are permitted to file personal injury claims no later than 2 years after the incident causing the injury for which the plaintiff seeks compensation. This may seem like a lot of time, but the reality of how expensive medical bills often doesn’t occur to individuals immediately. Additionally, the process of determining fault and making a case take time and effort. In some cases, injuries are not obvious at the time of the incident and only appear weeks or months later, especially in brain injury cases.
There are several exceptions to this general 2-year rule, such as for claims against government entities, claims involving minors, incidences when the plaintiff is incapacitated for example due to a coma, etc. Most cases only allow 2 years (6 months for government defendant cases) for action to be taken. For this reason, it’s very important to seek legal representation from a Sacramento personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. You may not like the first attorney you speak with. Your case may be very complicated and require a lot of research. There are many reasons for a case to be delayed, and if you’re trying to cover medical bills, those costs add up quickly! Be sure to speak to an attorney as soon as possible to discuss the potential of moving forward with your case.

It is always fun to go out on the lake or river to enjoy the time in the sun, and spend time relaxing with friends and family. Boats are a become more commonplace during summer months. But we tend to forget that boats are large vehicle, and unlike cars they do not have brakes.
Boats are becoming faster and more powerful each year. It is all about horsepower, engine size and how fast will it go from 0 to 60 mph. However, unlike a car, boat owners are not required to carry liability insurance.
According to Recreational Boating Statistics, in the year 2014 alone there were over four thousand boating accidents in the State of California. Out of those four thousand 548 were fatal. The majority of the accident and deaths are related, but not limited to: alcohol and drug use, excessive speed, improper lookout, operator inexperience, improper loading and anchoring, and even carbon monoxide exposure.
It is because these accidents happen, if you are a boat owner, we strongly suggest that you carry liability insurance. No one plans to get into or even cause an accident or a death when using their boat. Having liability insurance will make a bid difference if and when this accident happens.
Think about this – even if you are not the one who was driving the boat, but someone else you entrusted to drive causes an injury, you as the boat owner may be held financially responsible for injuries caused. It is called a negligent entrustment.
Having insurance will give you a piece of mind knowing that there is something that will protect you financially from exposure to a lawsuit for injuries or death.
Also most of the time you are on the boat with your kids or other close family members and friends. If you injure your own child, and begin to pile up medical bills, missing work to spend time in the hospital and losing income. Having insurance will be able to cover the medical bills, cover you missed time and work and make you whole.
If you have been injured in a boating accident having an accident lawyer in Sacramento help you with you case is crucial. It is important to research whether boating liability insurance was in effect, and discover what policy limits are available to you as the injured party. Contacting an attorney after you are injured is the best decision you can make.
If you have been injured in a car, truck or motorcycle accident due to the negligence of another, regardless of the nature of the underlying accident, it is important to contact an experienced accident lawyer in Sacramento at The Choyce Law Firm to discuss your legal options.

Spinal cord injuries can be one of the most life-threatening injuries caused by an auto accident, a fall or some other cause. The impact on the lives of the victim and families can be devastating and extremely costly. If you or a family member has been suffered spinal cord injuries, you need to contact a skilled personal injury lawyer in Sacramento CA who can file a lawsuit and get you the compensation you deserve.
Approximately 11,000 people in America experience a traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). The spinal cord is a crucial component to our bodies. They carry vital and sensitive nerves that act as messengers to speak between our brain and the rest of our body. If the spinal cord is injured, not only could you experience life long chronic pain, but you could lose control of bodily functions.
Spinal cord injuries, often devastating in nature, can arise from a variety of circumstances. One of the most common causes is vehicular accidents, including car, motorcycle, and truck crashes, where the force of impact can severely damage the spine. Falls, particularly among the elderly and in workplaces with hazardous conditions, represent another significant source of these injuries. Sports and recreational activities, especially contact sports like football or activities involving heights such as gymnastics, also account for a notable percentage of spinal injuries due to their high-impact nature. Acts of violence, including gunshot and knife wounds, contribute to spinal cord injuries as well, often resulting in traumatic and life-altering consequences. Medical or surgical procedures, though less common, can sometimes lead to spinal injuries, particularly when they involve complications or errors. Understanding these causes is crucial not only for prevention but also for providing appropriate legal and medical responses when these unfortunate events occur. For individuals who suffer spinal cord injuries as a result of these scenarios, especially due to the negligence or actions of others, seeking legal counsel and appropriate medical treatment becomes an essential step towards recovery and justice.
According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, the common causes of spinal cord injury are:
Spinal cord injuries could also be a result of risky surgical procedures and medical malpractice. Whatever the reason it may be, you’ve been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you must contact a skilled personal injury lawyer in Sacramento CA at The Choyce Law Firm for free case consultation. Spinal cord injuries are not only debilitating but also extremely expensive. A lawyer will help you get the financial compensation you deserve to restore you back to your pre-accident condition. Compensation should go above and beyond reimbursement for incurred medical expenses and “pain and suffering”. Because spinal cord injuries can have permanent and life-altering effects, a damages award should also include compensation for ongoing health care. Every case is different and it’s important you talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer in Sacramento CA.
Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) can have profound and far-reaching effects on an individual’s life, impacting their physical, emotional, and social well-being. The extent and nature of these effects often depend on the severity and location of the injury. Here are some of the key effects of spinal cord injuries:
The impact of a spinal cord injury extends beyond the individual to their families and caregivers, necessitating a comprehensive approach to care that includes medical treatment, rehabilitation, psychological support, and social integration. Advances in medical science and rehabilitation therapies continue to improve outcomes and quality of life for those living with SCIs.

Dogs are often seen as man’s best friend, yet not all breeds share the same temperament. Research indicates that certain breeds are perceived as more dangerous.
While any dog has the potential to bite and cause harm, some breeds are statistically more prone to aggression or violence. This tendency can often be linked to factors such as lack of obedience training, limited socialization during early stages, or inadequate interaction with their owners. Additionally, dogs that have not been spayed or neutered may display heightened aggression.
Furthermore, dogs might exhibit hostility when they are feeling unwell, frightened, or threatened. It is crucial to exercise caution around all dogs. However, recognizing breeds with predispositions toward aggression is essential to reducing the risk of dog attacks and injuries.
Some breeds are often cited in discussions about dangerous dogs, including:
Pit Bulls are often considered one of the most controversial and misunderstood dog breeds. They were originally bred for bull-baiting and later as farm dogs. With proper socialization, they can be loyal and affectionate pets. However, due to their strength and protective nature, they can be potentially dangerous if not trained and managed responsibly.
Rottweilers have a history as herding and guard dogs. They are strong, confident, and loyal. When properly trained and socialized from an early age, they can be excellent family pets. However, their natural guarding instincts can make them wary of strangers, and without proper guidance, they can exhibit aggressive behavior.
German Shepherds are intelligent, versatile dogs that were originally bred for herding sheep. They are often used in police and military work due to their trainability and loyalty. While they can be gentle and loving family dogs, they require consistent training and socialization to prevent aggressive tendencies, especially in unfamiliar situations.
Siberian Huskies were bred as sled dogs in cold climates. They are known for their endurance and energy. While they are generally friendly and gentle, their independent nature can make them challenging to train. Without proper mental and physical stimulation, they may exhibit destructive behavior, but aggression is not a common trait in well-socialized Huskies.
Alaskan Malamutes are large, strong dogs bred for heavy hauling and as sled dogs. They are affectionate and loyal to their families. However, their independent and stubborn nature can make training a challenge. Like Huskies, they require proper exercise and mental stimulation to prevent behavioral issues, but aggression is not a defining characteristic of the breed when raised in a loving environment.
Doberman Pinschers were originally bred as guard dogs in Germany. They are known for their loyalty and intelligence. Properly trained and socialized Dobermans can be excellent family pets, displaying affection and protectiveness towards their owners. However, their guarding instincts and strong will require consistent training and a firm, yet gentle, handler to prevent aggressive behavior, especially towards strangers.
Chow Chows are an ancient Chinese breed known for their distinctive lion-like mane and blue-black tongue. They were initially used for hunting and guarding. Chow Chows are independent and can be aloof with strangers. Early socialization is crucial to prevent aggressive tendencies, as they can become territorial and overprotective without proper training and exposure to different people and environments.
Boxers are medium-sized dogs that were originally bred in Germany as hunting and working dogs. They are playful, energetic, and loyal companions. Boxers are generally good-natured, but their exuberance and high energy levels can sometimes be misunderstood as aggression, especially if they are not properly trained and exercised. With early socialization and consistent training, they can be friendly and affectionate family pets.
Dalmatians are distinctive for their unique black or liver spotted coat. Originally bred as carriage dogs, they are energetic and playful. Dalmatians can be loving and loyal, but they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom, which can lead to behavioral issues. While they are not inherently aggressive, any dog that is not properly cared for and stimulated can develop undesirable behaviors.
Presa Canarios, also known as Canary Mastiffs, have a history as guard dogs and cattle herders in the Canary Islands. They are large and powerful dogs, known for their strong protective instincts. While they can be loyal and devoted to their families, early socialization and training are essential to manage their natural guarding tendencies. Without proper guidance, they can exhibit aggressive behavior, especially towards strangers, making responsible ownership and training crucial for this breed.
Dog’s behavior depends significantly on how it is raised, trained, and socialized. Responsible ownership and proper training can mitigate potential issues with any breed. Additionally, breed-specific legislation is controversial and often ineffective; many experts advocate for laws focused on responsible pet ownership and individual dog behavior assessments.

Have you suffered an injury or personal damage due to negligent maintenance of a physical space such as an apartment complex? You may have a case under Premises Liability law. Speak with a Sacramento accident attorney if you’ve been injured.
The owner or possessor of a property is required to maintain the premises such that an individual will not experience harm or damage during its use. This responsibility is even greater when considering children as they do not have the capacity to assess risk and act with appropriate caution.
In order to have a strong case against a defendant, the plaintiff must establish the following:
Who owns, possesses, and controls the property? This is the person or organization who is responsible for maintaining a reasonably safe space and thus may be at fault for injuries arising from the condition of the physical space.
**It is very important to establish who is in control of the property. Control of the property is the basis on which these cases are built as this is what enables the implementation of safeguards to prevent injury or damage. Without definitive evidence that an individual or organization is in control of the property, it is impossible to prove that they have a responsibility to maintain the premises to prevent damage or injury. A defendant does not need to be the owner or lessor of a property to be deemed liable – so long as he or she is the controller of that property, he or she is responsible for the reasonable maintenance of safety on the premises.**
The duty for a property owner to maintain a safe environment is not transferable to independent contractors! If you have questions regarding liability of your case, speak with a Sacramento accident attorney.
Negligence is the failure of the duty of the property owner to maintain the premises as to prevent exposing individuals to unreasonable risk of a known harm. If there is a concealed or not readily known danger on the property, it is the responsibility of the owner or possessor of the premises to either remedy the problem or inform individuals that the danger is present. The defendant is not required to warn individuals of harms that are readily or easily observed.
It must be determined that:
Premises Liability is often seen in slip and fall and trip and fall ‘ cases, but also relates to dog bite injury cases, construction injury cases, and injuries resulting from intentional or negligent action by a third party on the premises.
Not only does the controller of the property need to ensure the premises itself does not pose a danger, it must be ensured that no activities on the property pose a risk to individuals visiting said property.
The controller of the property must also take precautions to prevent damage or injury by third parties that may come onto the property, should this danger be reasonably anticipated. For example, certain safeguards should be provided in areas with higher crime or previous incidences of damage or injury. The foreseeability of this danger is very important to the case and is determined in court on a case-by-case basis. The court also must balance the foreseeability of a third party danger and the burden imposed on the controller of the property to prevent third party damage or injury. A Sacramento accident lawyer can explain the foreseeability of danger in your case specifically.
The court will take the following into consideration when hearing a case regarding premises law:
Before move-in:
During the lease:

People don’t usually notice the multitude of dangers they encounter on a daily basis. Between dangerous drivers on the road, slick floors in the grocery store, a broken step on the way into work, a neighbor’s unleashed dog, and a faulty product you ordered online, there are many hazards with the potential to cause harm. This may be part of the reason 32 million people were treated for injuries in an emergency room in the US in 2012, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. The nuances that go into personal injury cases are difficult to fully grasp and contacting a Folsom personal injury attorney is the best way to maximize your chances of receiving compensation.
It’s important to understand the laws that protect individuals and how to protect yourself after an incident that causes you personal harm. In order to have a strong personal injury claim in California, there must be physical, emotional, and/or financial injury to the victim inflicted by the defendant.
When an incident occurs, especially a car accident, there is often a police report describing the events. It is very important to get a copy of this to support your claim. In cases where there is no police report or the police report does not assign blame for an incident, it is common for one party to accept the fault at the scene and later changes their story. Insurance companies representing individuals who once admitted fault often have a difficult time accepting responsibility for the damages even though the individual now claims to be innocent.
California is a comparative fault state. This means that each individual involved in an incident may be found partially at fault. The degree to which each individual is at fault affects the degree to which they are compensated and the amount they are required to pay. For example, if two cars collide on the highway and one is found guilty of not yielding when merging but the other driver was texting during the collision, each individual may be a certain percent at fault. Determining the actual amount each party pays could get complicated so speak to a Folsom personal injury attorney regarding your case specifically.
There are many different types of accidents such as:
There are also a number of different types of injuries victims can suffer. Depending on the situation, many different injuries can be covered under personal injury claims. The following is a list of some of the more common injuries an individual may have when filing a personal injury claim:
There may also be non-physical injuries that are incurred and for which an individual may be reimbursed:
If you have suffered any of these types of injuries, it’s imperative you speak with a Folsom personal injury attorney immediately before time runs out in what’s known as statute of limitations.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the date the injury was incurred. This means an individual with the intention to sue another person or group for an injury must file a lawsuit and bring the case to court within two years from the time of the incident. If this is not accomplished, it is very likely that the case will be thrown out and no compensation may be retrieved.
When an individual means to bring a case against any form of government, such as a city or county of California state government, the statute of limitations is actually 6 months in these cases. This is not very much time to deal with all the entities involved and to make a strong case without professional help.
There are limitations to compensation under certain circumstances and it’s highly advisable to speak to a Sacramento personal injury attorney for specific limitations regarding your case.
One of the best things you can do to protect yourself from being taken advantage of is to get legal representation. A knowledgeable car accident lawyer in Sacramento at The Choyce Law Firm has years of legal experience handling personal injury claims with insurance companies. We understand the complex laws and procedures will fight on your behalf and can considerably help you get the compensation you deserve.

Elder abuse is defined as any intentional or negligent behavior by a caregiver or other individual that results in the harm or serious risk of harm to a vulnerable adult. This abuse often occurs at nursing homes and other treatment settings. If a loved one has experienced any type of elder abuse, contact a Sacramento injury lawyer immediately to learn what legal actions you can take.
Elder abuse affects approximately 11% of elder persons each year in the United States, according to the Department of Justice. America is home to more than 40 million persons 65 years old or older, meaning there are at least 4 million elders abused each year in the US alone.
Much of the abuse, 90% according to the National Council on aging, is carried out by family members such as adult children or spouses. Abuse in nursing homes has been a large problem in America as these institutions often are run by inexperienced individuals and often don’t undergo as much inspection as they should.
When people think of elder abuse, they may think of impatient caregivers physically striking the elder individuals who depend on their care. However, there’s much more to it than that. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, there are seven general categories that define most forms of elder abuse, such as:
Abuse can take a variety of forms and it’s always best to consult with an experienced Sacramento injury lawyer as it pertains to your situation.
Each type of elder abuse has its own warning signs. It’s very important for loved ones and other caregivers to watch out for any indications that elder abuse may occur. Many elders don’t wish to report the abuse or even tell their closest family members for a variety of reasons, such as embarrassment or because they don’t want to be a burden. Be sure to look out for the following signs of abuse:
Because there are many different types of elder abuse, the symptoms vary as well. If you or a loved one has experienced any of the above, call a Sacramento injury lawyer to learn what you can do.
When an individual is hurt because of the intentional or negligent behavior of another individual, there may be cause for legal action. This is especially true when there was what is called a “duty of care.” Each individual has a certain duty of care to the other that requires us all to act reasonably to prevent each other from undergoing undo harm. In situations where one individual is reliant on another for their safety or care, such as a doctor-patient relationship or a customer and the owner of a store, the duty of care is higher so that the responsible party must do more work to seek out any potential dangers and eliminate them. The relationship between a caregiver and and elder individual certainly falls into the category of higher duty of care.
Personal injury is the course of legal action a victim may take against the individual who has caused him or her harm. Personal injury allows the victim to recover financial compensation for a slew of damages, such as medical costs and pain and suffering. Unfortunately, nursing homes are often understaffed with individuals who aren’t properly trained or don’t have the appropriate experience. This can often lead to neglect or intentional abuse. This can often result in any of the following conditions:
Though these conditions may not be life-threatening to the majority of us, elderly individuals are a vulnerable group. It is often difficult for the individual to speak out regarding the abuse so it’s important for loved ones to pay attention and take action. If you believe a loved one has been abused, be sure to seek out a Sacramento injury lawyer with experience in personal injury as soon as possible.

This is my second time hiring Mr. Choyce for my son, who was charged with a criminal act. Both times that I hired Mr. Choyce, I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law, his professionalism, and the fact that he was relatable. He is trustworthy, tells you the truth about what you are facing. He is organized, he is a very good listener, came up with strategies that were appealing.I can’t say enough good about Mr. Choyce! I knew that he was going to give my son’s case everything he had, and he did!
Hiring the Choyce Law Firm was the best decision I made while trying to decide what to do after getting charged with a 3rd DUI. I tried to use a lawyer that I had previously used when in trouble with the law, he was near retirement and wasn’t able to give my case the attention I was looking for understanding that I was facing jail time. When contacting Mr Choyce we discussed my case and he told me he could help, he even knew my previous attorney. Mr Choyce was aggressive in fighting my case with filing motions on my behalf an trying to get my case dismissed, I was very pleased that he was not just looking to get the first deal the D.A. offered but was aggressively trying to win my case. Although we were not able to get the dismissal we were looking for he was able to keep me out of jail an I was able to serve my sentence on the EHD Program, which allowed me to keep my job an that was very important to me. Mr Choyce also handled a second case for me, I was charged with driving on a suspended license and no registration. Once again Mr Choyce was aggressive with this case and took it to trail an was able to get a not guilty verdict, which saved me a great deal of money in fines that would be pending with a guilty verdict. Overall hiring Mr Choyce and his team was the best decision I made, he provided great service at a respectable rate, an explained things as they were happening and with the charges I was facing I was very happy with the outcome of my cases that he handled. I would strongly recommend Mr Choyce and his team to anyone I know that needs legal representation he knows the law and will provide you with the best service you could hope for form a lawyer that wants to win.
“This is my second time using Mr. Choyce, and I would choose no one other than him. Both times that I hired him, it was for my son, and they were very serious cases. Mr. Choyce is smart, professional, practical, and relatable. He is a serious person, who listens, speaks in laymens terms, so that you understand what is going on. Not like some that I have experience, who talk over you, and dont take the time to really answer your questions.The second case got very close to going to trial, however, I was confident that I had the best of the best representing my son. Thank God that after willing to go to trial, we got a deal that, I think was a win win.I would definitely, without a question, hire Mr. Choyce again!”
