A tragedy re many serious, fatal accidents: they are preventable

It is of course infinitely sad every time a serious or fatal accident occurs in Southern California or elsewhere across the country. And the personal loss suffered by an individual or family can seem even more tragic when the precipitating factor most centrally contributing to harm is human error.

A catalyst in many catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases is third-party negligence.

What that means is this: The accident or injury suffered in a matter owing principally to another party’s reckless act or omission was preventable. In other words, it simply wouldn’t have occurred absent the aforementioned negligence.

Our law firm helps injured victims and their families hold negligent parties accountable for adverse outcomes that can be traced to their behavior. At the Los Angeles personal injury firm of Taylor & Ring, our attorneys know that, while a money judgment can never fully compensate for the harm inflicted upon a loved one, a meaningful recovery can be tremendously important for a number of reasons.

One of those is of course that compensation maximized in a given case can be applied toward incurred medical costs and therapy/rehabilitation that might be required in the future. The money our attorneys collect for injury victims and their families often replaces lost income, as well, and is additionally earmarked for pain and suffering. Money judgments in select matters also serve to send a deterrent message to others predisposed to negligent conduct, and often help grieving families heal and find closure.

Taylor & Ring believes that representing victims and their loved ones with empathy, passion and resolve in injury matters is about as central and important as it gets for a lawyer, and we are always honored to serve as legal advocates for those who need our help. We welcome readers’ questions and feedback, as well as their personal contacts with our firm.
