A spinal cord injury, a traumatic brain injury, an amputation, or a severe burn changes a person’s life and the lives of everyone around them. The I-880 freight corridor, the Route 84 approach to the Dumbarton, and the warehouses and manufacturing sites around Pacific Commons all produce serious injuries in southern Alameda County.
Mirador Law serves Fremont from our Newark office and builds these claims to account for surgeries and ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, home health care, equipment and home modifications, lost earning capacity, and the human cost of the loss. We work with medical and economic experts and prepare the case for trial. Major trauma from this area is often treated at Washington Hospital in Fremont or transported to the regional trauma center in Oakland. The general deadline to file is two years under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, and a public entity can trigger the six-month claim deadline under Government Code section 911.2.
The following hypothetical examples illustrate how these cases can unfold. They are not based on any specific client and are provided for educational purposes only. A worker is seriously injured near Pacific Commons and is told they will need lifelong care. A life-care plan prepared with experts shows the true scope of the need, and the claim is built around that lifetime, not the first hospital bill.
