California personal injury lawsuits are based on acts that cause physical, financial, or emotional injury to a plaintiff. In other words, most personal injury lawsuits have a basis in tort law, as opposed to criminal. Thus, these are normally civil cases held between private parties.
Some examples of causes of action that California personal injury lawsuits may be brought under include:
- Negligence (e.g., breach of duty);
- Intentional torts (e.g., assault, battery, etc.);
- Premise liability;
- Breach of warranty or contract; and
- Strict liability.
So, for instance, if a plaintiff purchases a product from a seller who promises that the product provides specific benefits or is of a certain quality and the product does not live up to those claims, then the plaintiff may sue the seller for breach of warranty.
