At BD&J’s full-service personal injury law firm, claims arising from motorcycle, vehicular, commercial, truck or car accidents can be pursued and negotiated by us both in the courtroom and directly against the liable third party’s insurance company.
Auto Accidents
The following types of accidents may require a personal injury attorney.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are a leading cause of accident injuries in San Luis Obispo County. From Highway 101 to local roads, crashes caused by distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield can result in long-term physical and financial consequences for victims. Recovery often involves navigating insurance claims, medical treatment, and vehicle repairs, all while managing pain and emotional distress.
Truck Accidents
When large commercial trucks are involved in crashes, the outcome is often devastating. Truck accidents may result from driver fatigue, overloaded trailers, or mechanical failures. Because these cases frequently involve multiple liable parties, such as the driver, trucking company, or maintenance crew, they require an attorney who understands the complexity of federal and state regulations.
At BD&J, our accident injury attorneys have the resources and legal knowledge to hold negligent parties accountable and protect your right to fair compensation.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents pose a high risk of serious injury due to the lack of protection riders have compared to other motorists. Even a low-speed collision can result in broken bones, spinal cord damage, or traumatic brain injuries. Often, these crashes are caused by drivers who fail to see motorcyclists or misjudge their speed.
We fight for injured riders and help them pursue financial recovery for their injuries, property damage, and pain and suffering.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable to injury when struck by a vehicle. In many cases, pedestrian accidents occur in crosswalks or intersections when drivers are inattentive, speeding, or under the influence. The resulting injuries can be catastrophic, requiring long-term care and rehabilitation.
Rideshare Accidents
Services like Uber and Lyft offer convenience but introduce complications when accidents occur. Rideshare accidents involve unique insurance issues and unclear liability, especially when multiple vehicles or passengers are involved.
BD&J has extensive experience navigating the legal nuances of rideshare collisions and will fight for fair compensation, whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, or another driver.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When someone is injured due to unsafe environments, such as wet floors, broken handrails, or poor lighting, they may have a premises liability claim. These incidents can happen in restaurants, stores, hotels, or private homes.
We investigate the cause of your injuries, gather the necessary evidence, and pursue claims to help you recover medical costs, lost wages, and more.
Product Liability
Consumers trust that the products they purchase are safe for use. However, when a defective product causes harm, manufacturers and retailers can be held responsible under product liability law. Dangerous design flaws, manufacturing errors, or insufficient safety warnings are common causes of injury.
We represent individuals hurt by faulty consumer goods, industrial equipment, and medical devices and hold companies accountable for the damage their products cause.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to negligence or misconduct is a devastating experience. A wrongful death claim seeks to provide financial relief to surviving family members after a fatal incident, such as a car crash, workplace accident, or unsafe premises event. Families may be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses, lost future earnings, and emotional loss.
At BD&J, we provide compassionate legal support while aggressively pursuing justice on behalf of grieving families.
Construction Accidents
Construction accidents can involve falls, equipment malfunctions, or unsafe work conditions and often result in serious construction injuries such as burns, fractures, or amputations. While workers’ compensation may provide some benefits, additional legal claims may be possible if third-party negligence is involved.
Our legal team helps injured construction workers and site visitors pursue all available forms of compensation, whether through workers’ comp or third-party lawsuits.
Dog Bites
Dog bite injuries can be painful, traumatic, and sometimes disfiguring. Under California law, dog owners are strictly liable when their pet attacks, regardless of whether the dog has shown aggression before. Victims may face physical injuries, emotional distress, and long-term medical needs, especially when children are involved.
We help victims of dog attacks pursue compensation for medical treatment, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.
Typically, in a personal injury claim, the standard monetary damages recoverable to compensate an injured plaintiff are specifically called compensatory damages. These damages are money for loss of work, loss of income, compensation for medical treatments and bills, pain and suffering and emotional distress. The more severe the injury the more substantial, the compensation and damages will be.
