Personal Injury Accident Attorney
Thousand Oaks, CA
Your partners in injury law in Thousand Oaks, CA.
Owen, Patterson & Owen is a Thousand Oaks, CA law firm with nearly 50 years of experience representing individual clients and large class action lawsuits alike. We continue to ensure that accident victims, large and small, get the representation they need and deserve.
We specialize in various areas of the law, including but not limited to personal injury, wrongful death, elder abuse, sexual abuse, wrongful termination, and more.
Tort law in the state of California determines a person’s liability in any given accident comparatively. This means that when two parties are involved in an accident or incident causing injury or property damage, they are responsible for whatever percentage of the damage their action or inaction has caused. One party could be found responsible for nearly all of the damage, while the other party is liable for only five percent.
Proper legal representation is the key here. Experienced insurance companies fight tooth and nail to ensure their clients – whose liability they cover – are protected from fault as much as possible. They may seek ways to imply that you’re at fault for more of the accident than you were and have ways of extracting information through innocuous questions and innocent phone calls.
We at Owen, Patterson & Owen (OPO) want to keep victims from losing their livelihoods and their savings to life-changing accidents and mountains of medical debt. Our Thousand Oaks, CA, law office is here to help you.

Answering Your Questions
Learn more about personal injury cases with us here at OPO. We will guide you through every step of the process and keep you in the loop. Questions we often get include:
Q: How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Personal Injury Case?
A: That can only be decided on a case-by-case basis. The best way to determine if your case is valid is to seek a professional consultation. However personal injury cases are a matter of fault and liability – and gathering the evidence to determine how that fault is split between the involved parties. If you were involved in an incident and were hurt or suffered in other ways (financially and emotionally), then you may want to consider seeking legal representation.
In civil cases, the fault is determined through a preponderance of the evidence – meaning, if the evidence suggests a higher than 50 percent chance of someone’s fault, then that may be sufficient to allocate fault.
Contacting a legal professional early in the timeline is essential because it takes time to appropriately investigate and gather the relevant evidence for any accident or incident.
Q: What Compensation Am I Entitled to in a Personal Injury Claim?
A: The compensation you are entitled to depends on the damages you’ve incurred, both financially and non-financially. Damages include loss of wages (due to an inability to work), medical expenses, as well as the emotional damages associated with experiencing a diminished quality of life after the accident or losing out on time spent with family due to financial strain. For non-financial damages, calculating a worth can be difficult.
You receive what you are willing to accept as a settlement or what a jury or judge considers appropriate at the end of the case.
