Injury & Death

A personal injury action is a lawsuit brought by someone who has been injured, either physically or mentally, as a result of another's negligence (carelessness) or wrongful conduct.

Damages for such personal injuries include:

  • Payment for pain and suffering
  • Lost wages
  • Past and future medical expenses

Based in Sacramento, California, the personal injury attorneys at Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff have handled and resolved thousands of personal injury cases resulting from all types of intentional or negligent conduct, throughout the country.

Vehicle accidents are just one of the common causes of personal injury. We also represent hundreds of individuals from many different states who were injured by defective medical devices or dangerous drugs that had undisclosed, harmful side effects.
