We have had considerable success representing clients injured in a wide variety of accidents.

* Commercial Truck Accident

Commercial trucks, tractor trailers, and semi trucks can weigh tens of thousands of pounds when fully loaded. Consequently, the energy carrying all of that weight transfers to anything and anyone it hits. Even at low speeds, the large mass of a commercial truck imparts incredible amounts of energy and force into your car and into your body in an accident. In certain cases, "semi" accidents and other commercial truck accidents are caused by: Truck driver fatigue; Dangerous road conditions; Defective truck parts; Negligent maintenance; Reckless truck bed loading. At the Law Office of Jerrold M. Bodow, we have extensive experience demonstrating cause relationship between a truck accident and the extent of our clients' injuries - even when property damage and injuries appear to be minimal to the untrained eye.

* Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents

Distracted drivers that fail to see smaller vehicles on the road are a common cause of motorcycle and bicycle accidents. Even with most bicyclists wearing helmets and California's mandatory helmet law for motorcycle riders, head injuries and brain injuries stemming from accidents are fairly common. If you have been involved in a motorcycle or bicycle accident, it is important to speak with a lawyer before discussing the matter with an insurance company representative. At our firm, we are committed to providing comprehensive legal representation to victims of bicycle and motorcycle accidents.

* Head and Traumatic Brain Injury

While there are some common causes of brain injuries, such as car accidents, motorcycles accidents, and falling debris at construction sites, a brain injury can also result from any single blow to the head. Some of the common signs of a possible brain injury include: Unconsciousness; Changes in temperament; Behavioral problems; Concentration problems; Vomiting or nausea; Seizures; Slurred speech; Weakness or numbness in the extremities. At our firm, in San Diego, California, we have been representing families dealing with the consequences of brain injuries for 24 years. We know how to effectively demonstrate the physical, financial, and emotional consequences of mild and traumatic brain injuries.

* Fatal Accidents & Wrongful Death

The sudden loss of a family member causes emotional trauma that most people will never understand. However, this trauma is amplified significantly with the sudden death of a wage earner. Surviving family members are left to cope with their grief, while also trying to continue to make ends meet - without the income that previously enabled the family to afford a comfortable lifestyle. Our lawyers guide clients through wrongful death proceedings. We take the burden off your shoulders by efficiently and effectively handling all legal aspects of the accidental death case - from investigating the accident, handling paperwork and handling all dealings with the insurance companies and government entities.
