- Car Accidents

Car accidents tend to result in two types of claims, personal injury claims and property damage claims. At Aiken & Jacobsen, in Sacramento, California, we are committed to helping you obtain optimal compensation for your injuries as well as any property damage associated with the automobile accident. An automobile crash frequently results in a wide range of injuries, from spinal cord injuries and brain injuries to broken bones, cuts, and neck injuries. We know these injuries have significant physical and financial impacts. Our attorneys work closely with our clients to ensure they receive the medical attention they need to recover for their injuries as well as the financial resources to move forward with their lives.

- Drunk Driving Accidents

A large number of intoxicated or impaired individuals who cause motor vehicle accidents either have previously been charged with drunk driving, caused another car accident, or are driving with a suspended license. If you have been involved in a drunk driving accident where a drunk driver is at fault for your injuries, it is important you speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer at Aiken & Jacobsen as soon as possible. Failing a sobriety test and being charged with a DUI is only one aspect of the consequences a drunk driver may face. We help our clients understand the police procedures use to determine the drunkenness of the negligent driver. We begin the case by gathering all the evidence that indicates the drunk driver was negligent in getting behind the wheel while under the influence.

- Dram Shop / Social Host Liability

Under California Dram Shop liability laws, if a driver was served too much alcohol at a bar, restaurant or private party, then caused a DUI accident that injures or kills someone, the business establishment or social host can be held liable for compensating the victims. We represent people who have suffered serious injury or lost a loved one due to all types of alcohol-related accidents, including: drunk driving car accidents; industrial accidents due to drunken co-worker; drunk boater accidents; and drunk ATV or recreational vehicle driver.

- Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents are far too common. While they can occur anywhere, Highway 99, Highway 5, and Business 80 seem to have a disproportionate number of truck crashes involving 18 wheelers and commercial vehicles. Many of these accidents are caused by truck drivers who are speeding, inexperienced, or fatigued. A serious injury can also result from a truck accident caused by a tire blowout, improper maintenance, or unbalanced cargo. We know that there are no minor injuries when a fully loaded truck crashes into a passenger vehicle. Spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and death are not uncommon in trucking accidents. Trucking companies carry large insurance policies and their insurance carriers work hard to limit their liability in truck accident and 18 wheeler wreck cases. We work meticulously to protect our clients' interests.

- Premises Liability / Slip and Fall

Business managers and property owners have a legal responsibility to ensure that their premises are kept clear of dangers to the visiting public. People slip and fall on slippery surfaces everyday and usually, no major injury or death results. But when a serious injury leads to a lifetime of medical treatment and financial loss, the property owner must be held liable for negligence. We have a successful record representing clients in all types of premises liability claims, including: retail store accidents, elevator accidents, parking lot and sidewalk trips, construction site accidents, bus stop and public transportation accidents, swimming pool and public park accidents, dog bites and animal attacks, negligent security accidents and assault injuries.

- Dog Bites / Animal Attacks

When put into threatening situations, almost any type of dog may bite. However, some dogs are more likely to bite than others: Pit bull, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Huskies and Wolf-dog hybrids. California applies a strict liability standard when it comes to dog bites. Dog owners are responsible for the actions of their dogs whether or not they knew their dog was dangerous. Our attorneys have successfully represented a number of dog bite victims. We recognize that being bitten by a dog is a traumatic experience. Kids bitten by dogs may experience nightmares and be afraid of family pets. When we handle a dog bite case, we are committed to helping people obtain optimal compensation for the physical, financial, and psychological impact of dog bites.

- Construction Site Accidents

Construction sites are inherently dangerous. Falling objects, open trenches, and heavy moving equipment all have the potential to cause serious personal injuries. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing injured construction workers. Our ability to handle third party construction litigation as well as workers' compensation claims, allows us to effectively manage every aspect of a case. We have handled construction site accident claims resulting from a wide variety of causes including: falling objects, scaffolding accidents, ladder accidents and ladder slipped, construction vehicle accidents, forklift accidents, trench collapse, crane accidents, construction debris accidents, falling accidents, down stairs and into open trenches. As experienced personal injury lawyers, we are able to investigate all possible sources of recovery for our clients, including third party claims, workers' compensation claims, and products liability claims.

- Product Liability

Consumer and industrial products are required by law to be safe for their intended purpose, as well as any reasonable foreseeable uses. When a product is inherently unsafe it must have warnings indicating the dangers associated with the product. Power tools are an example of inherently unsafe product. Products liability cases tend to involve one of the following issues: manufacturing defects, design defects, marketing defects, failure to warn and failure to guard. Injuries caused by dangerous and defective products are often serious. Severe burns, chemical burns, amputations, and eye injuries are not uncommon. Product liability cases involving wrongful death claims can also arise with cases involving industrial products.

- Wrongful Death

The death of a family member is always emotional. Losing a family member as a result of an individual's or business' careless or reckless actions is tragic. At Aiken & Jacobsen, in Sacramento, California, we are committed providing aggressive, compassionate legal representation to family members impacted by a wrongful death. Our attorneys have handled wrongful death and fatality cases stemming from a wide range of causes, including industrial accidents, defective products, construction accidents, and fatal car accidents, trucking accidents, and motorcycle accidents. Our firm has handled fatal accident cases that have occurred on Highway 12, Highway 4, I-99 and I-8, in addition to roadways across Stockton, Lodi, and toward Tahoe. We have been exclusively representing personal injury victims for a decade and are committed to helping our clients optimize the compensation they receive for their losses.
