California Premises Liability Law Firm
Property and business owners have a responsibility to take precautions that will ensure the safety of customers or guests. If the business or property owner knows of a potentially dangerous condition, he or she must warn guests and mark the area to prevent harm. If he or she does not, and the result is serious injury such as a broken bone, brain injury or spinal cord injury, the property owner can and should be held liable. For example, slippery floors within a business must be properly marked, and unstable steps or potholes should be marked and repaired as soon as possible. Premises liability cases may involve young children injured in swimming pools, slip and falls due to unmarked liquid spills, falls from unsafe equipment or buildings, and any other injury sustained due to a property or business owner’s negligence. Often these injuries result in traumatic injuries.
Unlike many other law firms, the Law Offices of Richard deSaulles is focused first and foremost on taking whatever steps are necessary to help you get whatever medical treatment you need- even if you lack the means to pay for your treatment. Our firm has relationships with a network of top quality medical professionals throughout California who will work on a lien basis- meaning they will provide treatment based upon an assurance by the Law Offices of Richard deSaulles that they will be paid once your case settles. If your injuries require the treatment of a specialist, we will do everything possible to ensure that you receive treatment from the very best specialist possible. In the past, founding partner Richard deSaulles would regularly seek out world-renowned specialists who provided treatment to famous professional athletes, and arrange for clients to be examined by these specialists. Some of these clients were indigent. At the Law Offices of Richard deSaulles, we believe that every client deserves the very best medical treatment available. Our firm motto is to only send clients to doctors if we would feel comfortable having those doctors treat our own loved ones.
Only after we are confident that you are on a course of proper medical treatment do we start taking the other important legal steps necessary to ensure that you and your loved ones receive the maximum recovery possible. A key factor in resolving personal injury disputes is the ability to successfully negotiate with insurance providers. Our legal team has experience negotiating with insurance companies. We will make sure the insurance company fully understands your situation following your injury. We take all the time required to carefully counsel clients and to navigate you through the insurance maze in order to lead you towards personal and financial recovery.
We understand that sometimes no amount of money will adequately compensate for the pain and suffering that comes with a serious injury. Nevertheless, we always focus on maximizing the financial recovery of our clients and we will never settle your case unless you consent to all terms of the settlement.
If you or a loved one has been injured on someone else’s premises and you believe the injury was not the fault of the injured person, the Law Offices of Richard deSaulles may be able to help. Please feel free to either fill out a free online case evaluation or call today to speak to an attorney.
What if I Cannot Afford To Hire An Attorney?
Most of our clients do not have the thousands of dollars needed to retain an attorney and litigate their case. The Law Offices of Richard deSaulles regularly takes cases on a contingency basis. For cases taken on a contingency basis, this means:
- You do not have to pay anything to hire our firm to represent you;
- Our contingency fee is based on a reasonable percentage of the amount we obtain for you;
- We will never settle your case without your authorization; and
- If there is no recovery in your case, you do not owe us a fee.
For those clients who prefer to pay an hourly rate, our firm is happy to discuss such an arrangement. Either way, we will make sure that the terms of the representation are agreed upon before initiating representation.
