*Defective Products Sold To You
As a consumer, you have the right to expect products you buy and use to be in safe condition.

This area of law is known as Products Liability. If you believe that your personal injury is a products liability lawsuit, the Bay Area attorneys at Jones & Devoy will help you receive the settlement you deserve.

*Bicycle Collisions
Bicycle collisions in the Bay Area are growing rapidly. If you have been in a collision with a car, pedestrian or another bike, you may be entitled to compensation.

Compared to a victim of a car accident, a bicycle rider does not have the same type of built in protection, such as a seat belt or an airbag.

*Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are often the result of the negligence of another and often occur on the property of another. If you have been injured due to a slip and fall on the property of another, contact the experienced slip and fall personal injury lawyers at Jones & Devoy to determine if you are entitled to compensation.

*Negligent Acts or Omissions by Another
If you are injured by the negligent acts or omissions of another, you may be entitled to compensation. If your injury was caused by another, and the other person had a legal duty to prevent your injury, then you may be entitled to compensation.

- Internet Defamation and Libel

In today’s modern world, it is very easy for anyone to publish anything at anytime.
