Improperly loaded cargo and extra heavy loads can affect how quickly a truck stops and increase the risk of tipping, while distracted or sleepy drivers are a danger to the road.

If you were involved in a collision with a negligent rideshare driver or if you were the passenger in a rideshare vehicle at the time of a collision, we’d like to help.

At BD&J, we’ve recovered millions of dollars for our personal injury clients, and we can assist with everything from filing your initial claim to negotiating a fair settlement.
Premises Liability
You may have a premises liability case if you were injured on another party’s property due to their negligence.

Some common issues that can increase the risk of injury on another party’s property include:
- Uneven sidewalks or curbs
- Wet floors
- Damaged stairs or flooring
- Inadequate lighting

Defective products and incorrect labeling can sometimes result in severe injury, illness, or death. Some examples of product liability include:

- Criminal acts
- Construction accidents
- Product liability
- Premises liability
Construction Accidents

Severe Injuries and Types of Bodily Harm Which Can Result from Your Accident
Among the injuries that can occur, several types stand out for their life-long impact on victims’ lives: burn injuries, brain injuries, bone fractures, and back injuries. Burn injuries are not only physically painful but can also cause long-term emotional and psychological trauma. Whether caused by fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can lead to excruciating pain, scarring, and permanent disfigurement. Victims may require extensive medical treatment, including skin grafts and rehabilitation to regain function and mobility.
Brain injuries are sadly a common outcome in serious and aggravated injury accidents. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have devastating consequences and occur when a sudden blow or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. Depending on the severity, TBIs can lead to a range of symptoms, from mild concussions to profound cognitive impairment and permanent disability. Victims of TBIs may experience memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and impaired motor function, impacting their ability to work and perform daily tasks independently.
Bone fractures are a common result of accidents such as slip and falls, ranging from minor hairline fractures to fractures which require surgical intervention. Whether it’s a broken arm from a slip and fall or a shattered leg from a car crash, fractures can cause significant pain, swelling, and limitation of movement. In severe cases, fractures may lead to complications such as nerve damage, infection, or chronic pain, and thus require ongoing medical care and rehabilitation.
Back injuries are among the most debilitating types of personal injury, affecting the spine, muscles, and nerves. Whether caused by a fall, car accident, or workplace incident, back injuries can result in chronic pain, limited mobility, and loss of function as well. Herniated discs, spinal fractures, and nerve damage can result from back injuries. Over the long-term, surgery, physical therapy, and pain management is likely necessary.
In legal claims involving personal injury, victims have the right to seek compensation for their losses including for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. The complexities of personal injury law require the expertise of experienced legal professionals at BD&J who understand the nuances of each case. Contact us today if you were injured, if your accident occurred within Sacramento County, or if you reside in Sacramento to discuss your claim.
