Questions frequently asked about
negligence and misconduct claims
How can I know whether I have a negligence or misconduct case?
You must have suffered an injury to yourself, or to your property, that is the result of someone else's failure to act with the legally expected level of care for the protection of others against unreasonable risks of harm.
If I feel I have a negligence or misconduct case, what should I do?
You should contact a plaintiff’s law firm as soon as possible to determine whether you have a case. Information must be gathered, and people interviewed. The sooner after the event an investigation is started, the more useful will be the testimony. For some kinds of negligence and misconduct actions there is a statute of limitations, a time limit for how long a person may file a legal action.
If I am arrested, and am mistreated while in police custody, do I have a right to sue?
California law requires that peace officers and other law enforcement personnel respect the civil rights of those they arrest, and care for them appropriately. If you feel that you have been treated negligently or have been the victim of police misconduct, you should consult a negligence and misconduct attorney.
