Car Accidents

Car accidents are among the most common types of personal injury cases in Palmdale. We’ve all been there—driving down the 14 Freeway or cruising along Palmdale Boulevard when suddenly, a car accident happens. Whether it’s a minor scrape or a major wreck, you’re looking at medical bills, time off work, and the emotional toll it takes. That’s why it’s crucial to have someone in your corner fighting for the compensation you deserve.

Rideshare Accidents

Uber and Lyft have made getting around Palmdale a breeze, but what happens when your convenient ride turns into a nightmare? With multiple parties involved, figuring out who’s responsible can be a legal puzzle. Don’t try to solve it alone; let Kistler Law Firm help you put the pieces together.

As ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft become increasingly popular, so does the number of legal cases arising from accidents involving these platforms. To address this, the legal system has established various guidelines under which individuals can seek compensation for rideshare-related incidents.

Truck Accidents

Big rigs are a common sight on our roads, and unfortunately, so are truck accidents. The sheer size of these vehicles can cause catastrophic injuries. Sorting out liability can get complicated, involving not just the driver but also the trucking company and sometimes even the truck manufacturer.

Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents

Motorcyclists and bicyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road. Accidents involving bikes often result in severe injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and spinal injuries. The vulnerability to serious injury and tricky questions of liability and fault make it crucial for victims to seek immediate legal assistance to cover medical expenses and other damages.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents are tragically common in Palmdale, especially in busy areas. Whether you’re walking your dog in a local park or crossing a busy street, accidents can happen. These accidents can occur in crosswalks, parking lots, or even on sidewalks. The injuries are often severe and can include broken bones, head injuries, and sometimes, wrongful death.

Premises Liability

Ever slipped in a grocery store or been bitten by a neighbor’s dog? These incidents fall under the law of premises liability. Property owners have a duty to keep their spaces safe. If they don’t, they can be held responsible for your injuries.

Implications and Next Steps

Understanding the legal issues and implications of the type of personal injury case you’re involved in is the first step in seeking justice. Each case type has its own set of legal procedures, evidence requirements, and strategy for obtaining maximum potential compensation. At Kistler Law Firm, we offer a free consultation to discuss your case in detail.

If you or a loved one has been involved in any of these types of accidents, time is of the essence, as California has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases, with some exceptions that can shorten or extend the amount of time you have to take legal action.
