Law Office of Arnold Hernandez

            Welcome to my website. You are probably here, because you have a legal problem and need legal help. Look at this website as a starting point, but do not rely on this information as the law is subject to change, set up an appointment and consult with an attorney first before making any major decision.  I practice law in California and do not offer legal representation in any other state. The majority of our work is plaintiffs’ work and we work mostly on a contingency basis, meaning attorney fees are not due until we win at trial or obtain a favorable result for you.  We represent plaintiffs in unpaid overtime wage claims and personal injury claims arising from truck accidents, car accidents, dog bites, and also families in wrongful death claims.

           To discuss your specific situation or case email me or call my office.  If you email me keep in mind that no attorney client privilege is formed by sending an Email, so be sure you do not disclose sensitive information.  We offer legal representation throughout Southern California, most of our cases are in North San Diego County, but we have represented clients in the counties of San Diego, Orange, Riverside and Imperial.  We have represented clients from many different cities including the Cities of San Marcos, Vista, Escondido, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Rancho Bernardo, Fallbrook, Poway, Encinitas, National City, Chula Vista, Poway, San Diego, Temecula, Riverside, El Centro, Borrego Springs, Calexico, Palm Desert, Cathedral City, Thousand Palms, La Quinta, Indio, Coachella, and many others.

OCEANSIDE, CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INJURY AFTER A DOG BITE

             Dog bites and dog attacks can cause not only physical pain, but can also adversely affect a person’s life for many years to come.  Injuries from dog bites give rise to a legal right for a personal injury in most situations.   Click Here For Information About California Dog Bite Laws   Some individuals are not able to regain their confidence and have the constant fear of a dog bite, whenever they are in a setting where there are dogs.  Children are frequently the victims of dog bites and the dog attack usually occurs at the home of a friend or family member. Click Here For Statistical Information on Dog Bites   These dog bites to children are often to the face leaving scars that can last their entire childhood.  Even though the number of deaths resulting from dog bites or dog attacks is small the number of dog bites is very high.  The number of personal injury claims for dog bites is relatively small in comparison to the number of victims for dog bites and dog attacks.  The chance of death from a dog bite or dog attack is very slim, but the chance of a dog bite is extremely high and is the number two reason for emergency room visits among children.   The following is a typical case:

              In 2001 a teenage girl went to her friend’s home, outside the house was the grandmother who invited the girl to enter the home and go upstairs to find her friend.   She had no reason to believe she would be the victim of a dog bite or dog attack.   When she entered the house two small dogs attacked the girl. The dog bites were to her ankle, her forearm and her leg.  The first dog bite was to her ankle and as she reached down to push the dog away the second dog jumped biting her forearm.  She fell to the ground and screamed as these dogs attacked.   The friend and the dog owner came in after hearing the victim’s screams and pulled the dogs away, but only after she suffered repeated dog bites to her ankles, forearm and leg.  Following the dog attack the dog owner called her parents and informed them the girl had been the victim of a dog attack.   The victims parent were upset  to see the girl with her arms and shirt covered in blood and the dog owner had not sought medical treatment for the girl following the dog attack.  After visiting the doctor the victim’s family asked the dog owner about paying for the damage caused by the dog bites to their daughter’s legs and arm.  The dog bites resulted in deep wounds, but fortunately the dog bites did not cause any nerve damage.  The hospital bill for treating the dog bite wounds exceeded $2,000.  The dog owner declined to pay for the medical expenses resulting from the dog bite injuries and informed the parents that if they were to obtain a personal injury lawyer that they would obtain one too and fight the matter.  Months after the dog attack, the teenage girl still had scars from the deep dog bite wounds, but fortunately there was not permanent damage other than scars to her forearm from the dog bites.   About one year after the dog attack a cosmetic surgeon could do a scar evaluation and estimate the cost for surgery to minimize or eliminate the scars to her arm.  Soon after that the matter resolved and the settlement provided compensation not only for her pain and suffering, but also for her disfigurement and would permit her to obtain cosmetic surgery to remove the dog bite scars.

SAN MARCOS, CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INJURY AFTER CAR ACCIDENT

           Following a hit run case a woman called my San Marcos office looking for a car accident lawyer.  We investigated the case and found the case to have merit, but believed the claim to be too small.  We accepted the car accident claim, but could not resolve it informally.  A trial was set and after all the evidence was presented we obtained a favorable verdict.  The value of the lawyer's time invested in the case was approximately $20,000.00.  After deducting the time and costs, the jury verdict resulted in a loss to the lawyer and the client, but our client followed our advice and we were in agreement that it was the best course of action.  It was a risk worth taking, because an informal settlement would have still resulted in a loss to the attorney and the client and the defendant was worse off because of the significant expense incurred in attorney fees.

VISTA, CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT

        A woman was traveling in the back seat of a vehicle.  It was raining and the road was slippery.  The driver saw a car accident and slowed down.  The driver behind them was a young woman distracted by her conversations on her cell phone did not see the car accident and could not stop in time to avoid causing another very serious high speed car accident.   Both vehicles were damaged beyond repair.  The woman in the back seat suffered a herniated disc, which was not diagnosed for several months.  Often injury victims have to tolerate extreme pain from a herniated disc following a car accident.  Once the injury was identified she was scheduled for surgery for the herniated disc and the case resolved quickly.
