Dog Attacks
In the state of California, dog owners are legally responsible for injuries that their dogs inflict on other people. Even if the owner was not deliberately negligent, he or she can be held responsible for their dog’s behavior. Under California law, victims of dog attacks deserve to be compensated for the injuries that they suffer. The simple truth is that dogs attack nearly five million children and adults every year. The problem is far more widespread than you may think.
The first thing people think about after a dog attack is rabies, but not all dog attacks result in bites. Dogs can knock a person to the ground, resulting in broken bones, head injuries and other types of injuries.

Pedestrian Injury

Distracted drivers, people who are inexperienced behind the wheel, and people who have been drinking and driving pose a serious threat to every pedestrian using Sacramento streets.
If another person’s negligence or recklessness was the cause of your injuries, you can be compensated for your losses –and that includes money for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. While no amount of compensation can undo the damage that has been done, it can help you move forward with your life.
Product Liability
Manufacturers are responsible for making sure that their products are safe for us and our families to use. However, some manufacturers are only concerned about their bottom line – they don’t care about our safety.
Defective products cause thousands of injuries every year, and sometimes the defects lie in the way the product was made; other times, the defects are inherent in the product’s original design.
Sometimes manufacturers are downright negligent.
If you or someone you care about has been harmed by manufacturer who puts profit ahead of safety, we may be able to help you.
Slip and Fall
Slip and fall cases can occur in public places and in private businesses. The injuries they cause are second-most common cause of employees missing work across the country every year.
Senior citizens are most susceptible to falls, but anyone can slip, trip or fall and sustain serious injuries. The fact is that businesses are responsible for ensuring your safety while you are on their property. That includes marking off hazardous areas and doing what’s necessary to prevent guests from using areas that could pose a hazard.
Slip and fall injuries can include broken bones, head injuries and worse. If you have been hurt as a result of a business’s negligence, you deserve to have someone fighting in your corner who will help you get justice.
Wrongful Death
