I throughly enjoyed working with Erik and the Child & Jackson firm. I was unfortunate enough to be in an automobile accident, him and his team really took care of me and helped me win my case. I am satisfied with all the help and the outcome of the lawsuit. I would definitely work with Child & Jackson if the time comes again. Thank you for everything.

Child & Jackson came highly recommended and did a great job. Unfortunately, after my case settled for coverage maximum, I was in need of their services again. I didn’t even consider going anywhere else. Very caring people.

I was referred to Child & Jackson from a family/friend who had a good experience with them. To my surprise, I actually got to meet and speak with Mr. Child, who was so down to earth (we all know how attorneys can be intimidating). Mr. Child assured me he and his team will take care of me and they kept their words.

I was in a slip and fall injury while 8 months pregnant. My case was difficult as it was a premises case, however, I was referred to Child & Jackson and they fought for my case to justify my injuries. The paralegal was excellent and very through. She was also available whenever I had any questions and walked me through the entire process!

How Can a Personal Injury Attorney Help?

Handling an accident claim without the assistance of an attorney is possible, but if you sustained injuries, hiring an experienced attorney can help you recover maximum compensation for your losses. 

When you work with an attorney at Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, they will go above and beyond to help you recover the compensation you’re owed for all accident-related losses. 

During this time, our legal team can help by:

Investigating the Accident

Your attorney will gather and analyze evidence to determine liability. 

They will gather evidence such as:

  • Police reports
  • Medical bills
  • Medical records
  • Vehicle repair estimates
  • Phone records
  • Photos of your injuries, property damage, and the accident scene
  • Witness statements
  • Expert testimony

Consulting Experts

At Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, your attorney has the resources to work with a wide range of experts to prove liability and accurately value current and future damages. 

Some Experts we may consult include:

  • Forensic accountants

  • Life care planners

And more.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

Your attorney will handle all communication and negotiations with the insurance company to recover a fair settlement that compensates you for your medical bills, property damage, and other losses.

Representing You in Court

If settlement negotiations fail, your trial-tested attorney will be prepared to take your case to court and litigate on your behalf.

What Kinds Of Injuries Does Personal Injury Law Include?

What Factors Can Affect the Compensation I’m Entitled to After An Accident?

Some factors that can impact the types of compensation you may be entitled to include:

Severity of Injuries

The severity of your injuries will significantly impact the types of compensation you can recover. More severe injuries, such as spinal cord damage, often result in higher compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Lost Income and Loss Of Earning Capacity

If your injuries prevent you from working or reduce your ability to work, you may be able to recover compensation for lost wages, lost earning potential, and future income losses.

Pain and Suffering

Compensation for pain and suffering compensates you for physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish caused by your injuries. The compensation you can recover for pain and suffering can vary and depends on the severity and impact of your injuries.

Disability and Impairment

If your injuries result in a permanent disability that impacts your ability to perform daily activities or enjoy life,  you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Disability benefits
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Property Damage
If your personal property, such as your vehicle, phone, or laptop, was damaged in the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for repair or replacement costs.

Insurance Coverage

The compensation you can recover can also depend on insurance policy limits.

Percentage Of Fault

In California, you can recover compensation even if you were 99% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

What is the Statute Of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases in California?

In California, you will have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. If you miss this deadline, your case will be dismissed and you will be unable to pursue compensation for all accident-related damages. When you hire an attorney at Child & Jackson to handle your case, they will ensure that your lawsuit is filed correctly and within the statute of limitations.
