What Types of Personal Injury Claims Do We Handle?
Our legal team handles a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
- Car accidents
- Falls
- Construction injuries
- And more
We’ve recovered millions of dollars for our clients through settlements and trial verdicts. Every case is different, but our approach stays the same: we work hard, stay honest, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
Car Accidents
Whether you’re driving through Concord or stuck on I-680, car accidents in Contra Costa County are all too common. And when another driver causes your crash, you shouldn’t be stuck with the bills.
We’ll investigate the accident, collect witness statements, and work with your medical team to understand how the injury affects your life. From whiplash to brain trauma, we’ve seen it all.
Insurance companies may try to downplay your injury or delay your claim. We won’t let them. We’ll stand by you until the case is resolved and you get the support you need.
Truck Accidents
Collisions involving big rigs and delivery trucks often result in serious harm. These cases also tend to involve multiple parties, such as trucking companies, contractors, and insurers, all trying to avoid responsibility.
We know how to secure critical evidence, including driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data. Acting quickly after a truck accident can make a difference in how strong your case is.
If you were hit by a commercial truck in Martinez or elsewhere in Contra Costa County, we’re ready to help you build a strong legal claim.
Pedestrian Accidents
When a car hits a pedestrian, the injuries can be severe, especially in busy areas like downtown Antioch or Pleasant Hill.
We handle cases involving:
- Crosswalk violations
- Distracted driving
- Unsafe intersections
Pedestrian crashes often require careful investigation to prove fault, and we’ll take care of that while you focus on recovery. Our job is to make sure the driver is held responsible and that you receive compensation for your injuries, missed work, and pain.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists often get blamed for crashes they didn’t cause. We push back against those unfair assumptions and fight to get you what you’re owed.
If you were hit while riding in Contra Costa County, we can help. We understand how dangerous road conditions, driver error, and visibility issues can lead to devastating accidents.
You have a right to be on the road. We’ll make sure your voice is heard.
Rideshare Accidents
Getting into an accident involving an Uber or Lyft can be confusing. Who pays? Which insurance policy applies? We answer those questions for you. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian hit by a rideshare vehicle, we’ll review the details and pursue a claim against the right party.
Our team has handled many of these cases across Contra Costa County and understands how to move them forward without unnecessary delays.
Premises Liability and Slip & Fall Accidents
Property owners are supposed to keep their spaces safe. When they don’t and someone gets hurt, they can be held responsible.
We represent people injured in:
- Stores
- Apartment complexes
- Restaurants
- Public walkways
Common hazards include:
- Slippery floors
- Poor lighting
- Uneven sidewalks
- Broken stairs
We’ll work to show that the owner knew (or should have known) about the danger and failed to fix it. From back injuries to broken bones, we’ll help you recover what you’ve lost.
Construction Accidents
Construction zones are full of hazards, not just for workers but also for the public. Falling debris, exposed wiring, and unsecured equipment can all cause harm.
We represent both workers (in third-party claims) and bystanders who were injured near active job sites. If someone’s carelessness caused your injury, we’ll identify the responsible party—whether that’s a contractor, subcontractor, or manufacturer—and take legal action.
Product Liability
If you were hurt by a dangerous product, the manufacturer may be at fault. We handle cases involving:
- Defective car parts
- Unsafe appliances
- Faulty tools
- And more
These cases often come down to demonstrating how the item failed and whether there was a safer way to design or label it. We work with investigators and engineers to build strong claims, and we’re not afraid to take on large corporations when needed.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one to someone else’s actions is devastating. We help families throughout Contra Costa County seek justice after fatal accidents.
Whether the loss involved a car crash, a fall, or a defective product, we’ll walk you through your options for filing a wrongful death claim. Compensation can include funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship.
We know nothing can replace your loved one. But we can help you find accountability and a path forward.
