Auto Accidents
Auto accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injuries. If you’ve been injured in a crash, you need an attorney who knows how to investigate the scene, deal with insurance companies, and fight for the compensation you need for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Car
Every day, drivers face risks on Bakersfield’s roads. Whether it’s a distracted driver or someone running a red light, car crashes can cause severe injuries that affect every part of your life.
Truck
Commercial truck accidents often involve serious injuries due to the size and weight of the vehicle. These cases require an attorney who understands federal regulations and the role of trucking companies in maintaining safe operations.
Motorcycle
Motorcyclists are vulnerable on the road, and even minor accidents can result in serious injuries. We help riders get fair treatment and fight against the stigma often associated with motorcycle crashes.
Pedestrian
When drivers fail to yield or drive recklessly near crosswalks and intersections, pedestrians suffer the consequences. These injuries can be life-threatening, and victims deserve full compensation.
Rideshare
If you’re injured while using Uber or Lyft, your case may involve multiple parties and insurance policies. Our team knows how to sort through the details and pursue the best outcome.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain a safe environment on their premises. When they fail to fix hazards or warn visitors about dangerous conditions, serious injuries can occur. Slip-and-fall incidents, poor lighting, broken handrails, and dog attacks are among the incidents that fall under premises liability law. These accidents often take place in stores, apartment complexes, parking lots, or private homes.
Victims of unsafe property conditions may suffer broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, or long-term mobility issues. You shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s failure to maintain a safe environment. Our personal injury attorneys work hard to get you results.
Product Liability
We expect the products we buy to be safe. Unfortunately, defective or dangerous products can lead to severe injuries or death. Manufacturers, designers, and retailers can be held liable if they put unsafe products on the market.
Product liability cases may involve medical devices, auto parts, household appliances, children’s toys, or consumer electronics. Some injuries occur due to design flaws. Others happen when products are made improperly or lack proper warnings and instructions. Regardless of the cause, victims have the right to seek compensation. BD&J’s team has the resources to take on large corporations and fight for your rights. We handle complex product liability claims from start to finish, ensuring you get the representation you need.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is always painful, but it’s even more difficult when their death could have been prevented. Wrongful death claims arise when someone dies due to another person’s negligence or misconduct. These cases allow surviving family members to seek justice and financial relief during a time of immense loss.
Wrongful death claims may result from auto accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, or dangerous conditions on someone’s property. As your accident injury attorney, we understand the emotional toll these cases take. We approach each wrongful death claim with care and respect, working to recover funeral expenses, lost income, and compensation for the loss of companionship. While no amount of money can replace your loved one, we help you hold the responsible party accountable.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in California. Workers are exposed to heavy machinery, unstable structures, electrical hazards, and falling objects. Despite strict safety regulations, accidents still happen due to negligence, poor training, or failure to follow protocols.
Construction injuries can include broken bones, spinal cord damage, burns, or amputations. These injuries often result in long-term disability, affecting your ability to work and support your family. If you’ve been injured on a construction site, we’ll help you understand your legal options. In some cases, you may have a claim beyond workers’ compensation, especially if a third party contributed to the accident. Our attorneys investigate construction site injuries thoroughly and push for maximum compensation under the law.
Dog Bites
Dog bite injuries are more common than many people realize. A single bite can lead to deep wounds, nerve damage, infections, and emotional trauma, especially in children. In California, dog owners are held strictly liable for bites, even if the animal has never shown aggression before.
If you or your child has been bitten by a dog, medical attention is just the beginning. Surgery, rabies treatment, or physical therapy may be necessary. In some cases, victims experience scarring or life-long fear of animals. As personal injury lawyers, we take dog bite claims seriously. We pursue damages for medical costs, psychological counseling, and pain and suffering. Our team works to hold negligent pet owners accountable and prevent future attacks.
