Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: 13 yr. old daughter injured at local McDonalds

The owner of the establishment is the franchisee, not McDonalds. You should take the case to a lawyer to sue. What you describe appears to be a pretty straight forward case of premises liability to me. For further information, go to my website www.mwrothinjurylaw.com and down load the free report, "Hidden Inside Secrets Insurance Companies Don’t Want You to Know". Then get a lawyer. This can and should be handled on a contingecy basis.

Re: 13 yr. old daughter injured at local McDonalds

You should have contacted a personal injury lawyer earlier, but, at this point, you need to retain counsel.

This is how insurance carriers became wealthy. when there is liability, like this matter, they hold your matter at "arm's length", deny liability, and won't offer you a settlement. Frequently, when they do, they "low ball" you with an amount far less than they should offer, and force you to sign a release for a small amount of money. The trouble is that the "release" is a legal document, which almost certainly ends the case forever.

Lawyers do not charge you a fee in these type of cases, and work on contingency basis, which is frequently !/3 of the outcome, after the medical bills are paid. Sometimes, it will be four, five, even six years before a trial, since you must wait until the injuries are healed, or that they appear to be permanent.

You need advice, at once, much less a competent attorney to represent you.

If you need more, please feel free to e-mail, or call, my office.

Good luck, and, I hope your daughter is improving.
