We Will Be At Your Side Even If You Bear Partial Blame For The Accident

Many accidents are the result of mistakes made by more than one person, although typically one individual is more at fault than the other. Although laws regarding shared responsibility vary rather widely from state to state, in California we follow the rule of “pure comparative negligence.” Comparative negligence (also known as comparative fault) allows the court to assign each person involved in the accident a percentage of liability. What this means is if you are found to be 10 percent responsible for your own injury, that 10 percent will be deducted from the compensation you receive. So, if your portion of blame is deemed to be 10 percent and you are awarded $200,000 in damages, you will actually receive $180,000. The word “pure” in the phrase “pure comparative negligence” means that in Oakland and throughout California even if you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault for the accident, you are still entitled to the portion of damages assigned to the other party.

What Kinds Of Damages Are You Entitled To Receive?

Compass Law Group attorneys are well-aware of how life-altering serious or catastrophic injuries are. Beyond economic compensatory damages for expenditures you have made and will no doubt continue to make, the law entitles you to non-economic damages for the intangible, but very real, losses you are now forced to bear. Depending on your individual circumstances, we will work hard to see that you receive damages for:
  • Medical and rehabilitation costs
  • At-home or inpatient nursing care
  • Lost income, present and future
  • Lost property
  • Alterations to make your home accessible
  • Psychological counseling
  • Pain and suffering
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Permanent disability
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

If you have lost a loved one to wrongful death as the result of the accident, we know we cannot undo the tragedy. We will, however, fight, both in and out of the courtroom, to win you final medical expenses, funeral costs, and a settlement for your loss of financial and emotional support.

If the court finds the conduct of the person who harmed you particularly egregious, for example if that conduct includes extreme disregard for human life, intentional malice, or illegal actions, you may also be awarded punitive damages. Punitive damages serve two purposes: to punish especially atrocious behavior and to discourage others from engaging in it.

Jerry

After 10 accidents and 9 attorneys, the client met Simon, who stood out for his honesty and clear communication. Years later, after another accident, the client called Simon and was impressed by his professionalism and follow-through. Simon explained everything, connected him with top doctors, and kept every promise. It was the first time the client felt truly supported—highly recommending Simon and Joseph for their integrity and dedication.

Jacob

Jacob was rear-ended by a big rig and left nearly paralyzed for a year. He found Cooper Law Group, and Joseph and Simon personally helped him through the legal process. Over two years, they ensured he got the medical care and surgeries he needed, helped repair his car, and secured the compensation he deserved. He highly recommends them for truly fighting for their clients.

Blandine

During the early days of COVID, Blandine was hit by a car while biking to work. Alone and unsure of what to do, they found Compass Law Group. Joseph was the first to respond with care and clarity. Throughout the case, the team—Joseph, Simon, and Julie—provided support, regular check-ins, and made the client feel safe and cared for. They now consider the firm like family and highly recommend them for their compassion and competence.
