Common Injury Cases in Newport Beach
Newport Beach is a wealthy and family-friendly community with excellent public schools and a high cost of living. The majority of residents are homeowners who enjoy the area’s stunning coastal views and easy access to nearby beaches, restaurants, and shopping. Almost 86,000 residents live in Newport beach.
Newport Beach is a tourist hotspot known for its beautiful beaches and stunning waterfront views and activities. The Newport peninsula is usually packed with people, especially at weekends and holidays, with people flooding to Balboa Fun Zone to hiring Duffy boats to get out on the water. There are also countless crossings leading vulnerable pedestrians over busy roads to the beach.
All of these factors leave a huge number of potential hazards and severe injury causes. You have pedestrians stepping into the road without warning, cyclists, and electric bike riders zipping through the streets, all alongside heavy traffic.
There are also plenty of dangers on the water, with boat accidents and watersport mishaps, not to mention personal injury accidents occurring away from the coast.
These are just some of the most common cases taken on by our personal injury lawyers in Newport Beach:
- Car accidents
- Dog bites
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Cycling accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Drowning & beach injuries
- E-bike and e-scooter injuries
- Slip and falls, swimming pool accidents, and other forms of premises liability
- Product liability – dangerous or defective products
- Boat and other watercraft accidents
- Assault and battery
- School bullying injuries

N.B. Crime and safety statistics
Newport Beach California is generally a very safe city, but with its luxuries comes opportunities for crime, especially theft, robbery, and burglary. The high-end area has expensive cars, homes, and boats and this draws the attention of criminals looking to capitalize on the sense of safety residents of Newport Beach feel.
Hoag Hospital is the primary medical center in the city and most victims of a crime will be treated there due to its size and reputation of stellar medical care.
Road and Traffic Accidents
The roads in and around Newport beach can be a nightmare. They are often busy and congested, increasing the risk of crashes involving cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, and more.
Residents and tourists alike also walk and cycle around the area. You cannot avoid the masses of cyclists when the weather is good. As a result, the city is one of the worst areas in Southern California for bicycle accident statistics. There are also frequent pedestrian accidents, particularly with drivers failing to pay attention as people use crossings to get to the beach.
Example: Fatal car crash in Newport Beach
Dog Bites
Dog bite attacks are also common in Newport. A huge number of people own dogs in the area, and not all owners are responsible. A dog might attack if it is angry or scared. In most cases, a dog’s owner will be liable if it bites someone or causes injury, according to California law.
We’ve represented thousands of dog bite victims in Orange County over the years and can help if you have been the victim of an attack.
Premises Liability Cases
Property owners and managers are responsible for making sure a location are safe. If you are injured on someone else’s property due to their negligence, you may be able to take legal action. This could apply to any premises, from private homes to workplaces or Newport Beach hotels.
There are several forms of premise liability. An example might be slip and fall accidents in a grocery store or a swimming pool accident at a hotel. You might have a case if the property owner did not provide proper warnings, take adequate precautions, or react to a hazard quickly enough.
Example: Von Normann v Newport Channel Inn – Hotel negligenc

How Much is an Injury Case Worth?
The level of compensation that a client might receive will always vary depending on their case. There is no standard amount set for a personal injury claim. For example, two similar car accidents could have completely different consequences. Every case is taken on its own merits, which will be reflected in the final compensatory award.
These are some of the key factors which can contribute to a decision:
- The type and severity of the injury.
- Medical bills and expenses of the accident victim.
- Non-economic damages.
- Economic damages.
- compensatory damages.
- Punitive damages.
- Emotional damages.
- Levels of pain and suffering.
- Costs of ongoing care and equipment in catastrophic injury cases.
- Property damage.
- Loss of income and ability to earn a living.
These are just some of the contributing factors. Generally speaking, the worse the impact of an accident on the victim, the greater the value of the case. Legal proceedings are designed to make the victim whole.
Newport Beach Injury FAQs
We know that you are likely to have many questions before choosing to sign with a personal injury attorney in Newport Beach. Below are just some of the most frequently asked questions that we hear. If you have a question that is not answered on this page, please do not hesitate to give us a call.
There is a time limit in the state of California for filing a personal injury claim, referred to as the statute of limitations. In most cases, you must file a claim within two years of the accident date. We recommend speaking to an attorney sooner rather than later to make sure your case goes smoothly.
Following an incident or injury, your first steps should be to:
- Seek medical attention.
- Call the police.
- Collect time-sensitive evidence, such as pictures of the scene and your injuries, eye-witness statements, and physical evidence. You could also request a copy of the incident report from the Newport Beach Police Department, as well as copies of your medical reports.
- Contact a Newport Beach injury attorney.
When you work with Bisnar Chase there will be no up-front out-of-pocket charges. We offer a free initial consultation, and a no win no free promise if you sign with us. That means that we advance the money required to win your case, and we only get paid a pre-agreed percentage if we win your case.
Call our Newport Beach personal injury lawyers and we will provide you with the information you need to get started. We are dedicated to making this process as pain-free as possible for you. The call is free and there is no obligation to discuss your case.
How to Win a Personal Injury Case
Winning an injury lawsuit is all about proving liability. Your attorney’s job is to show that you have sustained injuries due to another person’s negligence. Four factors must be shown to win your case:
- Duty of care: The at-fault party owed you a reasonable duty of care.
- Breach of care: They failed in their duty of care and put you in danger.
- Causation: The defendant’s actions directly or indirectly led to your injuries.
- Damages: That you have suffered real harm as a result – through injury, financial loss, property damage, etc.
A Newport Beach personal injury lawyer will build a case to prove these four points. Your attorney will identify any potentially negligent parties that may share liability (there may be more than one person or entity sharing fault) and assemble evidence to prove wrongdoing.
Your legal representative will use evidence, including pictures and videos from the accident scene and of your injuries, eye witness statements, expert witness testimony, medical records, supporting police records, and more.
At Bisnar Chase, our team puts meticulous work into every case. We believe in being prepared before stepping into a negotiation or courtroom.

Taking on Insurance Companies
There are typically two potential paths to compensation in an injury case. We can negotiate a settlement before a case ever goes to court, or we can take a case to trial and argue the facts in front of a jury.
The vast majority of cases are settled out of court. A settlement can be agreed upon before litigation or at any point once a case has begun, even just before a jury verdict is returned. Most cases are settled this way because it is safer. Juries can be unpredictable, removing the risk of ending up with nothing.
In many accident cases in the Newport area, we will be negotiating a compensatory amount with the at-fault party’s insurance company. Some people try to do this on their own, but we strongly recommend that you have an attorney argue your case for you.
The insurance company will have an experienced negotiator working to minimize the amount they have to pay. It is important to remember that the insurance firm is not your friend. They will often lowball you because it is their goal to settle claims as quickly and for as little money as possible.
Let our experienced team deal with these negotiations. Our caring staff will take the pressure off of you so that you can focus on getting better. You can count on our legal team to take on the insurance companies and protect you all the way.

They handled all the problems with the insurance companies. All the contact back and forth – it was either a quick phone call or a quick email. Other than forwarding them the doctor's bills and talking to them, it was a piece of cake. My settlement was amazing.
