What is a Personal Injury?
According to the American Bar Association, personal injury occurs when a person is harmed due to someone else’s act or failure to act, also known as negligence.
Some common examples include:
- Car accidents at intersections
- Dog bites at parks
- Slips or falls at businesses or rental properties
- Injuries from defective products
- Construction site accidents
What is Negligence?
Negligence is a failure to take reasonable care to prevent harm. To prove negligence, the following must be established:
- The defendant knew, or should have known, about a risk of harm.
- The defendant failed to fix, warn, or protect against the risk.
Comparative Negligence in California
California follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning that if multiple parties share fault in an accident, compensation is adjusted based on the percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, you will receive 80% of the total compensation awarded.

Each case is unique, but the general process includes:
