"I could not recommend Jeremy enough!"

I could not recommend Jeremy enough! Not only is he an incredible lawyer, he is also a great human being. He always took the time to answer my every question, even when I asked multiple times in a row. He walked me through every step of the legal process calmly and always kept me updated. He has an incredible knowledge of the law and will put it to your every advantage. I never had to ask how anything went or what was going to happen next. He took care of everything every single step of the way. I knew I never had to worry about what was happening because he was on it. He put me at ease the whole time. I couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone else. THANK YOU JEREMY!

"He was always available and easy to talk to"

Jeremy Elias was a wonderful help! A friend referred me to his office, and I am so glad that he did. When I first spoke to Jeremy, he asked me a couple of questions and listened to my concerns. I was having trouble with my landlord, and he was able to research my situation and get back to me with some solutions within 24 hours! The best thing is that I felt like he was very organized in his approach - and I can truly appreciate that. He was always available and easy to talk to. He is very professional, efficient, and I highly recommend him.

"Compassion and Integrity"
Compassion and Integrity are not two words you normally think of when you think of attorneys. But these are just two of the qualities that make Jeremy Elias an exceptional attorney. He has all the necessary tools such as intelligence, debating skills, knowledge of how the system works, and knowledge of those working the system. But it is the qualities of compassion and integrity that set him apart from most in the profession.
He genuinely cares about his clients and how the results of his representation is going to affect their lives.

"He is passionate about defending his clients."

Jeremy is an amazing attorney. He is passionate about defending his clients. He was very reassuring throughout my court dates and extremely knowledgeable about the law. My case took over a year, and he fought very hard for me, and I finally received the outcome we both wanted for my case. I am so grateful to have hired Jeremy.

Understanding the Four Elements of Negligence in a Personal Injury Case

In personal injury law, simply being hurt in an accident doesn’t automatically create a valid claim. California law requires that all four elements of negligence be proven before compensation can be pursued. This is where having an experienced personal injury lawyer makes a major difference. It’s not just about telling your story. It’s about carefully building a case that addresses every detail.

To collect a settlement, all of these elements must be present:

Duty of Care

The first step is showing that the other party had a legal responsibility to act with reasonable care. For example, drivers on I-8 have a duty to follow traffic laws and avoid reckless behavior, while mall property owners must maintain safe walkways for their visitors.

Breach of Duty

Next, it must be proven that this duty was violated. A breach could involve a distracted driver running a red light or a store manager ignoring a spill on the floor. These failures set the stage for preventable accidents. The general criteria used are to consider what a reasonable person would have done in the circumstances facing the defendant. California law doesn’t expect all accidents to be avoided. However, the state does insist that people act reasonably in attempting to prevent them.

Causation

It’s not enough to show that someone acted carelessly. You must also connect their actions directly to your injuries. This is often where cases become complex. For instance, if you suffered a back injury in a car accident, the defendant’s insurance carrier might seek to argue that you had a pre-existing back condition. Depending on the circumstances, we might counter by bringing in medical experts to demonstrate the connection between this specific accident and your injuries.

Damages

Finally, the injuries and losses you’ve experienced must be documented. This can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Even when a case seems straightforward, proving damages typically requires gathering records, testimony, and perhaps expert input. For example, for serious injuries, it’s not just the time lost at work. It’s the potential career growth that may have been interrupted, and the attendant income growth that would have come with that.

This process takes investigation, preparation, and persistence, all of which our office can provide.
