Personal injury cases require expert legal attention. Our mission is to give each case the unique care it deserves to reach a top-value settlement. Insurance companies may act like they want to help you at first, but their goal is to settle for as little money as possible.
Without legal help, you may risk only receiving a fraction of the compensation to which you are entitled. No matter what the circumstances of your accident, DeVille Law Group ensures that your claim is handled quickly and thoroughly, working to get you and your loved ones the settlement you deserve.

Slip & Falls
In California, the owner or manager of a property, or business, has a duty to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition and to warn guests or visitors of lurking dangers that are not open or obvious. Oftentimes, victims of a slip and fall are likely to get up quickly, feel embarrassed, and not even realize how injured they may be from the fall.
If you are injured by the negligence of a property owner or manager, you have a right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
However, it is important that you gather as much information and evidence at the scene of the fall as possible. Taking pictures of the dangerous condition and finding witnesses is important at the scene while obtaining a copy of the accident report. Getting prompt and consistent medical treatment is very important after the fall. Finally, it is crucial that you find a qualified lawyer to represent your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, and personal pain and suffering.
Wrongful death
The untimely death of a loved one can change your life forever. When someone else’s negligence results in the death of a family member, the personal injury lawyers at DeVille Law Group will fight for justice for your family.
While no amount of money can ever replace the loss of a family member, seeking financial retribution through the legal process can help. You may be able to recover if you are a spouse or domestic partner, parent, child, step-child, grandchild, or grandparent.
If you’ve lost a family member due to someone else’s negligence, you may be able to recover for:
-
- burial and funeral expenses of the deceased
- future employment earnings
- retirement benefits
- loss of love, support, and companionship
If you have lost a loved one, let us guide you through this difficult time of recovery by handling complicated insurance issues and standing up for your rights in the legal process. Call DeVille Law Group today to set up your free consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
Dog Bites
If you have been injured by a domestic animal and suffered medical bills, lost wages, pain, scarring, and emotional trauma, you have a right to recover from the animal owner.
In fact, most homeowner’s insurance policies cover dog bites, so the issue can be settled with the insurance company and not end up in an awkward or hostile situation with your neighbor or the owner of the animal. In California, dog owners are held “strictly liable” for the conduct of their animals, so the liability is oftentimes not at issue.
Damages for a dog bite can include medical bills, permanent disability, lost wages, and personal pain and suffering. And since dog bites are often suffered by children, these injuries are typically more severe. If you or a loved one has been attacked or bitten, call DeVille Law Group to learn more about your rights.
COVID-19 Coronavirus
The COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak has presented numerous challenges for employers, which has led to many companies temporarily or permanently shutting down.
However, some businesses are required to stay open for the benefit of each community. These include essential workers for healthcare, food supply, transportation, and government. But just like other work-safety regulations, your employer must take the steps to keep their workers safe.
As with stated CDC guidelines, employers must modify their work environment and process to reduce the risk of viral spread, which includes the use of masks or face shields (Personal Protective Equipment or PPE), daily temperature checks, work-station distancing, and partitions, regular sanitization of surfaces, and managing areas where employees can gather, such as a break room, rest area, or cafeteria. Your right to a safe work environment is most important especially here in California, which means employers could face liability in the absence of proper worker safeguards during COVID-19.
You do not always have to become seriously ill yourself from the virus in order to develop a workplace-exposure case. Employer neglect may consist of being exposed to someone who is infected that leads to exposing others, such as an elderly family member. Each case may differ and so we will investigate the facts as part of a comprehensive consultation. The best way to find out if you have a valid claim is to call DeVille Law Group and discuss your personal situation. Consultations are always free.
