accidents can be caused by various negligent actions
Preventable injuries are a common and devastating occurrence that can be caused by a multitude of negligent actions.
Negligence can encompass the actions or inactions of the responsible parties, such as failing to take reasonable care, not providing adequate supervision, or failing to take necessary precautions against potential risks and hazardous situations.
In some cases, the negligence leading to these personal injuries is easily identifiable. However, other instances require a meticulous investigation to ascertain the exact causes and assign accountability.
The causes of various types of bad outcomes we’ve seen (and that we have experience in) over the years can be traced back to negligent behavior:
- Slip and Fall Injuries often occur in environments like restaurants, shopping centers, workplaces, and residences can be caused by unattended spills, cluttered walkways, poor lighting, or defective flooring.
- Car Accident Injuries, common on roads and highways, can be caused by negligent driving, speeding, distracted driving, or failure to follow traffic rules.
- Workplace Injuries are frequent in job settings like construction sites, factories, and warehouses, and can be caused by inadequate safety measures or improper equipment maintenance.
- Dog Bites often can be caused by owners’ negligence in controlling their dogs or failing to warn others about their aggressive behavior.
- Sports Injuries can be caused by lack of adequate safety equipment, improper training, or unsafe premises in gyms, sports arenas, or fields.
- Product Liability Injuries can be caused by defective or improperly labeled products, manufacturer negligence, or lack of sufficient warnings about potential risks.
- Pedestrian Accidents often can be caused by drivers’ negligence, failure to yield right-of-way, distracted driving, or violating traffic laws.
- Bicycle Accidents can be caused by negligent driving, poor road conditions, or failure to follow traffic rules by either cyclists or drivers.
- Burn Injuries often can be caused by negligence in handling flammable materials, faulty electrical systems, or inadequate safety measures in homes, workplaces, or public spaces.
While reckless behavior can undoubtedly cause preventable injuries, there are instances where an accident is unavoidable due to the presence of numerous variables combined with circumstances beyond anyone’s control. Hence, it is essential for experienced attorneys to examine all aspects of the situation to determine liability so victims and their families can seek justice for their losses.
Evaluating these aspects when comparing attorneys will help clients find the ideal attorney to represent them effectively and achieve better outcomes
Selecting the Right Attorney to work with
Choosing a personal injury attorney in Santa Ana can be daunting when so many claim to be the best. To make a sound decision:
-
Check Experience and Results
Look for someone with a proven record handling cases like yours. If you were hurt in a car accident, seek an attorney with solid outcomes in similar claims. Ask for references from past clients to gauge negotiation skills and trial success. -
Specialization Matters
Just as you wouldn’t visit a general doctor for specialized surgery, hire an attorney focused on personal injury law. Attorneys like Derek Pakiz at The Reeves Law Group bring specific expertise in plaintiff claims, trial work, and in-depth knowledge of insurance tactics.
Key Qualities of a Professional Injury Lawyer
-
Communication Skills
Good attorneys promptly return calls and clearly explain your options. You deserve an advocate who understands the impact of your injuries on daily life and keeps you informed every step of the way. -
Reputation and Success
Read online reviews (with caution), ask about past verdicts, and confirm the attorney’s track record in cases comparable to yours. A lawyer with a solid reputation often secures higher settlements.
Types of Specialization
Some lawyers focus solely on car crashes, workplace injuries, or slip-and-fall accidents. Others, like Derek Pakiz, have decades of experience across various personal injury areas. Choose someone whose expertise aligns with your situation.
Understanding Your Case Needs
-
Severity of Injuries
Mild injuries may be handled with minimal legal guidance, but serious injuries often require an attorney skilled in negotiating large compensation packages. -
Legal Services Provided
Your attorney should conduct investigations, evaluate damages accurately, handle insurance claims, and negotiate settlements—or represent you in court if needed.

My boyfriend googled The Reeves Law group after reading multiple reviews and websites of other firms. I really liked how my Attorney handled everything from start to finish. He was very responsive, which made things very easy for me. He looked at all options before agreeing on a settlement with insurance company. This was a stressful process, but The Reeves Law Group made it easier on me. I would recommend this firm if anyone is looking for an injury attorney.
