A personal injury claim is a civil claim for money damages. It is not about punishment. It is about making the injured person whole by monetary compensation via a settlement, court order, or a jury verdict.
Most personal injury claims come down to a few questions: what happened, and who had a legal duty to act with reasonable care. What types of evidence can prove fault? What medical treatment was needed, and what will be needed in the future? How did the injury change your career? How does your pain and suffering alter your routines? What are the long-term health concerns? What insurance coverage is actually available?
At Child & Jackson, your needs come first.
We focus on investigating, documenting, and leveraging our experience to present your case and pursue compensation for your losses.
This includes comprehensive accident scene investigations, gathering medical records, and preparing each case for possible jury trial if the insurance company does not provide a fair settlement.
With over 40 years of combined legal expertise, we specialize in a comprehensive range of accidents, from vehicular to slip and fall, ensuring your case receives the dedication and expertise it deserves.

You should always speak to an experienced personal injury attorney after any accident involving and injury or death. Attorneys are not always needed
Under Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years. If the at-fault party is a public agency, different rules may apply. For example, according to Government Code § 911.2(a), a claim for death, personal injury, or damage to personal property generally must be presented within six months after the claim accrues. If you are uncertain about the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit, it is recommended to consult an attorney.
The consultation is free. If we can help you and you choose to hire us, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay attorney fees unless we recover money for you. We also cover the case expenses needed to move your claim forward, such as filing fees, record fees, and other litigation costs. If we recover money for you, those costs are typically repaid from the recovery, along with the contingency fee, as set out in the fee agreement.
