Trip and Fall
Lodi’s mix of busy highways, agricultural traffic, and downtown foot traffic creates plenty of opportunities for accidents. Distracted driving, speeding, and unsafe road conditions are common factors behind many of the crashes we see. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, motor vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of death and injury nationwide, with millions of people treated in emergency departments every year for crash-related injuries.
Seasonal harvest traffic brings a steady flow of large trucks and farm equipment through the area, which raises the stakes when a collision does happen. A crash involving a commercial vehicle often causes more severe injuries than a typical passenger car accident, and it can also involve more parties, including trucking companies and their insurers.
Beyond car accidents, we also see cases involving slip and fall incidents at local businesses, dog bites, and injuries from defective products. No matter how the accident happened, if someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may have grounds to pursue compensation.
The severity of an injury does not always match how an accident looks at first glance. Whiplash, concussions, and soft tissue injuries can take days to fully present themselves, while broken bones, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injuries are often immediately apparent. Regardless of how your injury shows up, getting evaluated by a medical professional right away creates a record that can support your claim later.
Building a strong claim starts with a thorough investigation. Our team gathers police reports, medical records, and any available surveillance footage or witness statements to establish what happened and who is responsible. We also work with medical professionals when needed to fully understand the extent of your injuries and how they may affect you going forward.
Insurance companies often try to settle quickly and for less than a claim is worth. We handle every conversation with the insurer on your behalf, so you are not pressured into accepting an offer that does not reflect the true cost of your accident. When negotiations do not lead to a fair result, we are prepared to take your case to court and argue it in front of a judge or jury.
Timing matters throughout this process. Evidence like surveillance footage can be deleted within days or weeks, and witnesses’ memories fade quickly. Reaching out to our team soon after your accident gives us the best chance to preserve the evidence your case may need.
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means you may still recover compensation even if you share some fault for the accident. Your award is simply reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Compensation in a Lodi personal injury case can address:
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in California, though shorter deadlines apply to claims against government entities. Reaching out sooner rather than later helps protect your ability to recover what you are owed.
Our firm has recovered over $400 million for injured clients across California, and our attorneys bring more than 60 years of combined experience to every case we handle. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing upfront and owe no fees unless we recover money on your behalf.
We know that every accident and every client’s situation is different. That is why we take the time to understand the details of your case and build a strategy suited to your specific circumstances, rather than treating your claim like a file number.

In most California personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If your claim is against a government entity, the deadline is much shorter, as you generally have only six months to file a formal claim. Because these deadlines can affect your ability to recover anything, it is best to reach out to us as soon as possible.
California follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible for what happened. Your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20 percent at fault, you can still recover 80 percent of your damages.
We represent people across California in a wide range of personal injury matters. Our work covers motor vehicle accidents, including car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, bicycle, pedestrian, bus, and electric scooter cases, as well as premises liability claims, such as slip-and-fall and dog-bite incidents. We also handle construction and workplace accidents, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and insurance bad faith cases.
The value of a case depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, and the impact on your daily life. No two cases are the same, so an honest valuation requires a careful review of your specific situation. During a free consultation, we can discuss the details and give you a clearer picture of what your claim may be worth.
Insurance companies often aim to settle claims quickly and for as little as possible.

With more than 60 years of combined experience and over $400 million recovered for our clients, we know how to pursue the full value of a claim.
Your health comes first, so seek medical attention even if your injuries seem minor.
