Car Accidents
Car accidents are a common cause of serious injury in Santa Barbara County, often resulting from distracted driving, speeding, or failure to follow traffic laws. Victims may suffer a range of accident injuries, including whiplash, broken bones, head trauma, and internal damage. Recovering from a car crash can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with medical expenses and insurance adjusters.
Our accident injury lawyers at BD&J work tirelessly to investigate the cause of your accident, determine liability, and pursue full compensation on your behalf.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often cause catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. These cases are complex, frequently involving multiple parties, such as the driver, trucking company, and cargo loaders. Factors including driver fatigue, improper maintenance, or overloaded trailers can contribute to these devastating crashes.
BD&J has the experience and resources to take on large trucking companies and secure justice for those injured in truck accidents.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists face unique risks on the road and are especially vulnerable in collisions with larger vehicles. Even with protective gear, motorcycle accidents can result in spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and long-term disability. Drivers often fail to notice motorcycles, or they misjudge their speed and distance, leading to serious accidents.
Our team understands the challenges motorcycle riders face after a crash and will fight for compensation.
Pedestrian Accidents
When pedestrians are struck by a vehicle, the outcome is often severe. These accidents commonly occur at intersections or crosswalks or in parking areas where drivers may be distracted or speeding. Injuries can include fractures and internal injuries or may even result in fatalities.
BD&J is committed to supporting victims of pedestrian accidents, holding negligent drivers accountable, and helping clients move forward after serious harm.
Rideshare Accidents
The rise of rideshare services, such as Uber and Lyft, has created new challenges for injury claims. Rideshare accidents involve unique insurance structures and questions of liability that require skilled legal navigation. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian hit by a rideshare vehicle, your case deserves close attention.
Our accident injury attorneys understand how to handle the complexities of rideshare accidents and will guide you through every step of the claims process.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe environments. When someone is injured due to unsafe conditions — such as wet floors, broken railings, or poor lighting — they may have a claim under premises liability law. These cases often involve slips and falls, trip hazards, or negligent security in public or private spaces.
Our team at BD&J investigates the cause of your injury, collects evidence, and works to prove the property owner’s negligence, so you can recover the damages you’re entitled to.
BD&J’s dedicated slip and fall lawyers are committed to helping injury victims recover maximum compensation after accidents caused by unsafe property conditions
Product Liability
Consumers rely on manufacturers to provide safe, functional products. When a defective item causes injury, whether through a faulty design, manufacturing flaw, or lack of warning, those responsible can be held accountable under product liability law. Common examples include malfunctioning electronics, contaminated food, or dangerous toys and medical devices.
BD&J’s product liability attorneys have extensive experience pursuing product liability claims and will hold manufacturers and distributors accountable when their products cause harm.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is one of the most painful experiences a family can endure. Wrongful death cases arise from fatal accidents, such as auto crashes, medical malpractice, or unsafe premises. These claims can help families recover for funeral costs, lost financial support, and emotional suffering.
We approach every wrongful death case with compassion and determination, working to ease your burden while seeking justice for your loss.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites are inherently dangerous, but many construction accidents occur due to preventable hazards, such as falling debris, faulty equipment, or safety violations. Workers and bystanders can suffer severe construction injuries, from broken bones and burns to spinal damage and amputations.
Our attorneys help injured workers explore all avenues for compensation, whether through workers’ compensation or third-party claims.
Dog Bites
Dog attacks can cause lasting physical and emotional trauma. Under California law, dog owners are strictly liable for dog bite injuries, meaning victims can pursue a claim regardless of the dog’s previous behavior. Children are especially at risk and often suffer permanent scarring or psychological effects.
At BD&J, our dog bite lawyers support victims of dog bite injuries by handling the legal process and seeking compensation for medical bills, pain, and emotional distress.
