Glotzer & Leib, LLP, a personal injury law firm based in Burbank, is raising awareness about the distinct legal claims of bodily injury and property damage that can arise from accidents in California. The firm’s recent article, ‘Understanding Bodily Injury and Property Damage,’ aims to help residents navigate their rights and pursue full compensation after a crash.
Accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians often result in both physical injuries and financial losses. According to the firm, bodily injury refers to physical harm, emotional distress, and long-term disabilities, while property damage covers damage to vehicles, homes, or other personal property. Joshua W. Glotzer, Managing Partner, noted that many victims are surprised these are separate claims, yet both can significantly affect financial recovery.
With over 50 years of combined experience, the attorneys at Glotzer & Leib, LLP have recovered millions for clients injured by negligence or insurance disputes. The firm’s article details that bodily injury claims may include medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and future care. Property damage claims can cover repairs, replacement costs, diminished value, and temporary loss of use.
The article also emphasizes critical deadlines under California law: victims generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit and three years for property damage claims. Missing these deadlines can bar recovery. The firm encourages accident victims to seek legal guidance promptly to preserve evidence and document damages.
Glotzer & Leib handles a variety of cases, including car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents, as well as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, wrongful death, and negligent security. ‘Our goal is to help injured people focus on healing while we handle the legal process,’ Glotzer said, adding that the firm pursues maximum compensation under California law.
