How We Prove Negligence & Build Your Stockton Case

Personal injury claims in Stockton often involve complex scenarios with multiple parties. Here's how our attorneys build strong cases:

Elements We Establish

  1. Duty of Care – everyone owes Stockton citizens a duty to act safely
  2. Breach – impaired driving, poor premises maintenance, or distracted operation
  3. Causation – the breach caused your injuries
  4. Damages – financial, physical, and emotional harm clearly documented

Evidence We Collect

  • Police and incident reports from Stockton PD and CHP
  • Scene and hazard photos, surveillance footage
  • Medical records, therapist bills, and work absence documentation
  • Expert testimony (accident reconstruction or medical)
  • Witness statements and regional injury data

Types of Compensation You Can Recover

Economic Damages

  • Medical treatment costs (past & future)
  • Lost wages, reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage and repair or replacement costs

Non‑Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress, PTSD
  • Loss of life enjoyment and companionship

Punitive Damages

If the defendant’s conduct was particularly malicious or reckless, such as DUI or knowingly unsafe premises, we pursue punitive damages to punish wrongdoing.

Stockton Personal Injury by the Numbers (2024)

According to SWITRS and local ER data, San Joaquin County reported over 20,000 injury crashes, including 3,500 pedestrian or bicycle injuries, last year. Slip and fall incidents contributed to an estimated 10,000+ emergency room visits in Stockton alone.

In most personal injury cases in California, including those arising in Stockton and greater San Joaquin County, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit under the California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. However, if your claim involves a city-owned property, government vehicle, or public agency like Stockton Unified School District or San Joaquin RTD, you must act quickly, claims against public entities require notice within just six months. It's critical to speak with a local personal injury attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing deadlines.
