- Personal Injury

At Clancy & Diaz, our legal team has years of experience in handling personal injury claims throughout the Oakland area. We know the difficulties that surround these types of situations and are therefore fully devoted to giving our clients the personalized attention and customized care that they require as they fight for their deserved amount of compensation. We are thus able to help with many different areas of personal injury practice, including the following:

• Car Accidents

Our personal injury law firm may be able to assist you in the wake of any type of car accident, including a rear-end collision, head-on collision, t-bone accident, rollover, hit and run, or pedestrian or bicycle-involved car accident. We can handle your case whether you were involved in a car vs. car accident or if your accident involved a large commercial truck, motorcycle, SUV, taxi or school bus. Regardless of the circumstances of your accident, we are confident in our ability to provide the level of legal counsel you need.

We understand that these cases may be complicated, particularly when the cause of the accident is in question. By applying our legal knowledge, we can determine the best approach for your case. We can also work with accident reconstruction professionals to evaluate the accident itself and determine how to prove who was at fault. Our goal in handling your Oakland car accident claim will be to recover the highest amount of financial compensation possible, allowing you to rebuild your life and begin moving on.

• Motorcycle Accidents

If you were recently injured in a motorcycle accident in the Oakland area, it is important to act quickly and discuss your legal rights with a lawyer experienced with these cases. You will need to handle an insurance claim and other issues related to your accident, and an experienced professional can assist you with this while allowing you to focus on healing and spending time with loved ones instead. Our law firm can help you in filing a personal injury claim to seek money that will help with medical bills, damage to your bike and the various other expenses and injuries you may be experiencing.

• Truck Accidents

Consulting with an experienced lawyer is an important step to take after a truck accident. You may have been seriously injured and may now be in a situation where you need to deal with an insurance claim, medical expenses and legal issues related to the accident. An Oakland truck accident attorney can help you with every single aspect of your claim or lawsuit in order to help you seek the highest amount of financial compensation for your injuries - all while you focus on recovering and spending time with loved ones. At the Law Offices of Clancy & Diaz, LLP we are committed to providing our clients with the compassionate customer service they need while aggressively representing their best interests and financial needs in their Oakland personal injury claims.

• Uninsured Motorist

When a driver is involved in an auto accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, he or she may wonder how to possibly recover financial compensation if there is little to no insurance coverage provided by the other driver. Fortunately, an attorney at our firm can still help. We are experienced in handling uninsured motorist accidents throughout the Oakland area and can assist you in seeking and recovering the highest amount of financial compensation possible, even if the other driver has insufficient coverage.

Your own insurance policy may cover uninsured motorist accidents, but it may be difficult to ascertain what amount of coverage is available to you. The insurance company may also not be entirely fair in their dealings with you and your claim, and as such it is often extremely beneficial to work with a lawyer experienced with these matters. An Oakland uninsured motorist accident lawyer at our law firm can review your insurance policy, negotiate with the insurance provider and seek the highest settlement from your own coverage.

• Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences for a family to endure. Under California law, a person who has lost a close relative or family member may have the right to take legal action against the responsible party. This action is taken in civil court and enables the family to seek financial compensation from the person or entity that caused the death of their loved one. These cases are referred to as "wrongful death" lawsuits and may be filed in a variety of circumstances, after a car accident, boating accident, airplane accident, drunk driving accident, motorcycle accident, construction accident or other incident that involved a death caused by negligence or intentional wrongdoing.

We represent families throughout the Oakland area who need to take legal action for the loss of a loved one. When you work with a lawyer at our offices to handle your wrongful death claim, you can rest assured that we will offer you the personalized attention and compassion you deserve in your time of need. Not only is your initial consultation free, but you pay no legal fees unless we recover a settlement or win a jury award on your behalf.

• Back Injuries

It will be important to completely evaluate the source of a back injury, how long the pain may last, what treatment will be necessary and the impact that this injury will have on your life. This is a primary factor in an attorney's successful handling of a personal injury claim or lawsuit involving a back injury. These issues will be a key part of determining what amount of money you should be entitled to receive from the person or entity that caused your injuries. At the Law Offices of Clancy & Diaz, LLP we work with professionals in medicine, economics, physical therapy and private investigation to conduct complete investigations into every aspect of our clients' injury claims and lawsuits. In doing so, we are able to accurately determine and work to prove the value of a back injury case - with the final goal of maximizing our client's financial recovery.

• Drunk Drivers

As dedicated personal injury lawyers, we believe that drunk drivers should be held fully responsible for the accidents they cause. A drunk driving accident may cause serious injuries to an innocent victim or victims and may literally tear a family apart. It may cause a significant amount of physical pain and financial difficulties for the victim and may lead to lasting stress and psychological trauma. Fortunately victims of drunk drivers have the opportunity to seek legal recourse in the California civil justice system. An Oakland drunk driving accident lawyer can talk to you about filing a personal injury lawsuit against the drunk driver that caused your car accident, motorcycle accident, truck accident or other traffic-related accident.

• Slip & Fall

A slip and fall accident claim will need to be based upon the property owner's liability, such as negligence in maintaining property grounds, conducting routine inspections or posting warning signs regarding hazardous conditions on the property. It may be necessary to recover physical evidence of the hazardous condition that caused your accident as well as additional evidence that proves the property owner knew or reasonably should have known that the hazardous condition was present - and did nothing to repair it or warn you of its presence.

• Pedestrian Accidents

An Oakland pedestrian injury attorney will have an important task in handling your claim. In addition to establishing what caused the accident and therefore who should be held accountable, your attorney will need to establish what your case should be worth based upon the extent of injury you sustained, medical bills, the impact your injuries will have on you now and in the future, and various other relevant factors. Properly handling your pedestrian accident claim will enable your lawyer to help you face a brighter future - even if you were seriously injured. Our law firm offers a free consultation to review your case, and we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.

• Dog / Animal Attacks

Being bitten by a dog or attacked by any animal can be an extremely frightening and painful experience. It may leave a victim with lasting physical injuries and scars that will forever remind him or her of what occurred. It may also lead to psychological trauma, a fear of dogs or animals, anxiety and depression. Taking immediate action and filing a personal injury claim in these circumstances can help a victim begin rebuilding his or her life and moving on, an invaluable opportunity in light of the grave impact that a dog bite or attack may have on a victim. An Oakland dog bite injury attorney at the Law Offices of Clancy & Diaz, LLP can talk to you about the injuries you have sustained, what occurred in the attack, and what you can do at this point to seek justice and recover money for your injuries.

• Airplane Accidents

If you were injured or lost a loved one due to an airplane accident in the Oakland area or anywhere in Northern California, we can help. An injury attorney at our law firm can meet with you to talk about what occurred and what we can do to hold the airline responsible for their actions. These cases may involve negligence, where the airline or an employee of the airline failed to conduct proper maintenance of a plane, or possibly intentional misconduct of some kind. By investigating the circumstances of your particular case, we can determine the best approach. Not all airplane accident claims involve a loss of life. In fact, an injury may occur on an airplane or in an airport, and our law firm handles these cases as well as wrongful death claims stemming from airplane crashes.

• Amusement Park Accidents

An injury may occur at an amusement park, theme park, on a rollercoaster or at a water park. A ride may malfunction, there may be a hazardous condition on the park grounds, or an attack may occur at the theme park or in the parking lot. In any of these situations, a victim may be left dealing with the aftermath of a serious accident or injury. If you or someone you love was injured in any type of amusement park accident in the Oakland area, our law firm can help. We can also handle cases that involve Oakland area museums or other attractions. By talking to a lawyer at our law firm about what happened, you can get valuable information and guidance that will help you make the right choices about moving forward with a case.

• Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents have the tendency to cause serious injuries. This holds true particularly when they involve a motor vehicle such as a car or a large truck, but the rider may be at risk of sustaining injury in any type of accident due to the fact that he or she is relatively unprotected in a collision. The rider of a bicycle may be wearing a helmet, kneepads, elbow pads and some other protective gear, but if he or she is involved in a traffic-related accident these items will offer no real protection against a motor vehicle comprised of several thousand pounds of metal. As such, the rider may experience head trauma, back injuries, spinal cord damage, facial injuries, amputation, neck injuries and multiple broken bones.

When you need a competent legal professional to help you recover financial compensation for serious injuries that you or a loved one sustained in an Oakland bicycle accident, look no further than our firm. We have the experience and resources to properly assist you with your case and will take the time to provide you with the level of compassionate, one-on-one service you deserve.

• Boating Accidents

If you or someone you know was injured in any type of boating accident in the Oakland area, it is important to consider your legal options. You may be able to file a personal injury claim for injuries sustained in a water-related accident, seeking financial compensation from the party that caused you to be injured. By allowing an Oakland boating accident lawyer to review your case and advise you on your options, you can learn more about what can be done at this point to positively impact your case and seek the financial compensation that will cover medical bills, lost wages and even non-economic damages such as emotional trauma.

Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your boating accident, there is often much that an attorney can do to help. This may include conducting an initial review of your case to determine what party should be held responsible, evaluating what your claim should be worth, and developing a legal strategy that builds an aggressive case on your behalf. We will work to provide you with a legal strategy tailor-made to address your unique needs, all while offering you the personalized service that makes a difference in your peace of mind through this sometimes difficult process.

• Broken Bones

Broken bones take time to heal. They may cause a great deal of physical pain and may interfere with your ability to do your job or participate in activities that you regularly enjoy. There are numerous different situations that may leave an accident victim with broken or fractured bones, and in these cases an Oakland personal injury attorney at the Law Offices of Clancy & Diaz, LLP can help. Our firm represents accident and injury victims throughout the Oakland area in all types of cases that involve broken bones, multiple bone fractures and more. We can work to represent your interests and legal rights in these situations to help you recover financial compensation that will cover medical care, lost wages and event the psychological trauma the accident has caused.

• Burn Injuries

The grave nature of burn injuries makes these cases of the utmost importance to our law firm. At the Law Offices of Clancy & Diaz, LLP, we represent clients throughout the Oakland who have been injured in any type of accident that caused severe burns. We handle personal injury claims and lawsuits for these cases, representing our clients' rights in order to assist them in recovering maximum financial compensation.

• Bus Accidents

There are several factors that make bus accidents so serious. The sheer size and weight of the bus, the amount of passengers involved and the fact that the responsible party may be a large bus company or public transit authority may make an Oakland bus accident claim more difficult to deal with. However, we are experienced in handling all types of personal injury claims and have the resources to conduct a complete investigation into the matter in order to build an innovative legal strategy that properly represents our client's financial needs and personal concerns.

• Catastrophic Injuries

Recovering financial compensation is the most important part of filing a personal injury claim for a serious injury. This will be the way that you will be able to afford the best medical care, ongoing treatment, medical supplies, assisted living, and the cost of living if your employment or wages suffered. Because catastrophic injury claims often involve significant settlements or jury awards, your Oakland injury attorney at our law firm will be careful when assessing the true value of your case. We may involve economists to demonstrate the full financial impact your injury has had, medical professionals to prove the true extent of your injuries and other expert witnesses to support your case. It will be our goal to assist you in recovering the money that will truly make a difference for you and your family now and for years to come.

• Construction Accidents

A construction site may be a dangerous place to work, visit, or even walk by. If you, a friend or a family member was injured at or near a construction site in the Oakland area, a lawyer at our law firm can talk to you about your legal options in filing a personal injury lawsuit to seek financial damages. Depending on the case, you may be able to recover benefits under workers' compensation (if you were working at the time of the accident) or may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the construction company for negligence. With experience and knowledge in this field, an attorney can properly evaluate the matter to determine your best course of action.

• School Bus Accidents

When our children take the bus to school or ride on a school bus to go on a field trip, we trust that they will be kept safe. Unfortunately, this does not always occur and we may find that we are dealing with the aftermath of a school bus accident. If your child was injured on a school bus or in a traffic collision involving a school bus in Oakland, it is important to talk to an attorney about your legal rights. You may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit against the school, allowing you to seek justice for your child's injuries while recovering financial compensation that will help with medical care and ongoing expenses. Our firm is committed to representing victims of all types of bus accidents throughout the Oakland area. With our experience and our firm's dedication to superior client service, you can rest assured that you will be in good hands.

• Permanent Scars

It is fairly easy to calculate lost wages (wages you did not earn because you were out of work due to an accident). It is not so easy to calculate the “value” of permanent scarring – it is part art and part science. The personal injury law firm of Clancy & Diaz, LLP has experience in doing just this. If you have been injured in an accident and, as a result you are left with permanent scars, we can not only help you with your personal injury claim, but we can also help you get the medical attention you need and deserve. Often we can do this at no out-of-pocket cost to our clients. In some cases, we are able to refer our clients out to plastic surgeons, who can minimize the appearance of scars. Sadly, in some cases there is nothing to be done. In either case, the personal injury firm of Clancy & Diaz will fight for your rights and to maximize your recovery.

• Intersection Accidents

The most likely issue that will be contested in any intersection accident is who had the right of way. Answering this questions means undertaking a serious investigation into the accident. Surveillance tape may be available; witnesses may need to be tracked down.

At Clancy & Diaz we are able to track down that crucial evidence and help our clients injured in intersection accidents. If necessary, we can even have an accident reconstruction specialist perform an analysis of your intersection accident and answer the most important question – who had the right of way? We understand the complex challenges you face after a serious personal injury. Not only do you have to deal with your injuries, but you also have to deal with insurance companies, medical bills, lost income and medical appointments. We will handle each aspect of your case, from helping you making sure your car is fixed right to dealing with medical bills.
