Our motto, “Experience you can trust,” is a reflection of our lawyers’ compassion, track record, and relentless need to fight for justice. It’s this commitment to success that has distinguished BD&J as the premier personal injury law firm in California.

Benefits Of Working With A Personal Injury Lawyer

Accidents occur regularly in California, from people crossing paths and getting hit by cars to vehicle accidents causing serious harm to victims. With nearly 40 million people in California, accidents are not a surprising occurrence. Regardless of the reasons, people’s careless actions will still have consequences on those around them.

Accidents can affect our lives in grave ways, not just physically but financially and emotionally as well. If your accident was caused by another person’s negligence, obtaining the compensation you need from the liable party and their insurance company is crucial. Having an attorney represent you can help ensure that you obtain the full and fair compensation that you need and deserve.

Does My Health Insurance Cover Me After a Car Accident?

Health insurance does cover injuries you incur from a car accident, but your policy will ultimately determine what is and isn’t covered. Everyone’s health insurance coverage is different and the situation surrounding an accident and procedures you receive during treatment can impact whether a health insurance claim is denied.

What Are My Rights if Questioned by ICE Agents?

If ICE approaches you at home or work, you don’t have to open the door unless they present a judicial search warrant signed by a judge. You may refuse to answer questions about your immigration status and have the right to remain silent, even if you’re undocumented. You can refuse searches without a valid warrant and should stay calm and avoid sudden movements. If detained, request a lawyer and avoid signing documents. Document any injuries or property damage and seek legal help. BD&J offers free consultations for those injured by ICE, regardless of immigration status, and can help pursue compensation.

Who’s Liable in a Los Angeles Truck Accident? Truck Driver vs. Trucking Company

Truck accidents can be one of the most harmful road collisions in California, thanks to the trucks’ immense size and weight. When you’re hurt in a truck accident in California, a truck accident lawyer can help you determine who is repsonsible – the driver or the trucking company. In some cases, the two parties may share fault. If you need help after a truck accident in Los Angeles, contact BD&J’s truck accident lawyers 24/7 to schedule a free consultation.
