Learn more about car accident cases and how we can help you recover the compensation you deserve. We’ve handled all types of car accidents, including rear-end and head-on collisions, rollovers, sideswipes, T-bones, and more.
Truck Accidents
Stockton has a lot of truck accident claims due to its position near major transport highways. Car vs. truck accidents are especially common on the I-5 Freeway. Due to their massive size and weight, truck accidents involving passenger vehicles typically have severe to catastrophic injuries. These are also tricky claims to pursue as you usually have multiple defendants and there may be more vehicles involved. You need a skilled truck accident lawyer who understands the complexities of these cases and will ensure your rights are protected.
Pedestrian Accidents
Stockton has seen its fair share of pedestrian accidents. People rushing to get to work and finish their errands aren’t always looking out for hazards or approaching pedestrians. Some streets are more dangerous for pedestrians than others, making it even more critical that drivers carefully monitor their surroundings. If you suffered injuries as a pedestrian in Stockton, speak with one of our lawyers as soon as possible.
Motorcycle Accidents
GJEL has recovered over $10 million for motorcycle accident victims in the Stockton area. Like pedestrians and bicyclists, motorcycle riders are more exposed and lack the same safety features that occupants in a vehicle have. Motorcycle riders also face certain prejudices from other drivers. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, it’s crucial to retain an experienced Stockton motorcycle accident lawyer.
Bicycle Accidents
Stockton is in desperate need of safety improvements for bicyclists and pedestrians, as the city has too many fatalities in these types of accidents. If you were injured or someone you love passed away in a bicycle accident, let the skilled legal team at GJEL Accident Attorneys help.
Wrongful Death
When someone passes away from their injuries in a personal injury accident, certain family members may have the right to bring a claim for their own losses. These types of claims are typically very complicated, which is why you need to hire a professional and compassionate Stockton wrongful death lawyer right away. While no amount of money will bring your loved one back, it could at least help with your immediate unexpected financial needs.
Other Injuries
Other types of collisions we handle include rideshare vehicle accidents such as Uber or Lyft and electric scooter collisions such as Lyme.
