How We Build Your Case In Imperial County
First Steps And Evidence
- Scene Preservation: Photos and video of vehicles, skid marks, canal banks, crop access roads, lighting, and signage; names and numbers of witnesses; tow and ambulance details.
- Event Data And Logs: Passenger vehicle EDR data, commercial truck ECM, driver hours, dispatch notes, agricultural equipment maintenance records, and any mobile app trip data for rideshare crashes.
- Medical Proof: ER and clinic records from El Centro Regional Medical Center and Pioneers Memorial Hospital, imaging and specialist notes, therapy reports, and future-care estimates that support both economic and non-economic damages.
Police Reports And Agencies
We obtain the collision or incident report from the CHP El Centro Area, Imperial County Sheriff’s Office, and city departments such as El Centro PD, Calexico PD, Brawley PD, Imperial PD, and Calipatria PD. Where new evidence appears, we request supplements and body-cam or dash-cam footage when available.
Insurance And Liens
- Liability Coverage: At-fault driver, property owner, business, contractor, or manufacturer.
- UM And UIM: Your uninsured and underinsured motorist benefits when the other side has no or insufficient coverage, including cross-border scenarios where a Mexico-based driver is involved but the crash occurred in California.
- Medical Payments And Health Liens: We coordinate med-pay, manage hospital and health plan liens, and negotiate reductions to increase your net recovery.
Deadlines That Control Your Case
- Personal Injury: Generally two years from the date of injury.
- Property Damage: Generally three years.
- Government Claims: Six months to present a claim against a public entity such as a city, county, Caltrans District 11, or local districts. We calendar every cutoff, send required notices, and file well before limitations expire.
Common Imperial County Cases We Handle
Traffic And Roadway Injuries
Crashes on I-8, SR-86, SR-111, SR-78, SR-98, and farm-to-market routes involving speed, fatigue, distracted driving, unsafe passing, and impaired driving. We move fast for EDR data, roadway measurements, lighting studies, and nearby CCTV from businesses, border queues, and public cameras.
Commercial Truck And Agricultural Equipment Collisions
Semi-trucks hauling produce or freight, tractor and harvester encounters on county roads, wide-turn incidents, unsecured loads, and maintenance failures. We send preservation letters for ECM data, logs, dispatch, and maintenance files, and we work with reconstruction and human-factors experts when needed.
Rideshare And Public Transit Claims
Uber and Lyft collisions across Brawley, Imperial, and border zones, with coverage that changes by app period. We also handle Imperial Valley Transit incidents and bus stop hazards.
Premises Liability And Property Hazards
Grocery and retail spills, apartment stair and walkway defects, parking lot potholes, irrigation canal access hazards, unsafe lighting, and negligent security. We obtain sweep sheets, maintenance work orders, incident logs, and video before routine deletion cycles.
Dog Bites And Animal Attacks
California’s strict liability rule applies when a dog bites in public or when you are lawfully on private property. We document injuries, rabies protocols, prior incidents, and homeowner or renter coverage.
Public Entity And Government Claims
Road defects, sidewalk breaks, signal timing issues, canal and right-of-way hazards. Claims against cities, the County, Caltrans, and regional districts require six-month government claims with strict follow-up. We file on time, track responses, and sue when appropriate.
Product Liability And Dangerous Drugs
Defective auto parts, tools, consumer goods, medical devices, or medication errors. We secure the product, obtain exemplars, retain engineering and pharmaceutical experts, and prove defect and causation.
Catastrophic Injury And Wrongful Death
Spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, severe burns, amputation, and fatal collisions. We build life-care plans, calculate lifetime wage loss, and pursue full non-economic damages for families under California law.
How We Maximize Your Recovery
Early Case Build
We secure video before it is overwritten, measure scenes, interview witnesses, collect body-cam and 911 audio where available, and document every medical milestone from day one. The first ninety days often decide leverage, so we act immediately.
Demand Package That Matches The Evidence
Your settlement demand includes liability analysis, medical proof, wage loss, future care, transportation and home-modification needs when applicable, and a clear accounting of pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment supported by records and expert input.
Litigation Strategy That Moves Cases
We file, serve, and drive discovery, compel overdue production, depose at-fault drivers and corporate representatives, and file motions to exclude unfounded defenses. When settlement conferences do not produce a fair number, we try the case.
