We Handle All Types of Personal Injury Cases

When you’ve been hurt in an accident, it turns your whole life upside down. At NordstrandBlack PC, we help people just like you every day.

No matter what type of accident you’ve suffered, we know how to build a strong case and win. Personal injury cases we frequently take on include:

  • Car accidents. Automobile crashes happen when you least expect it. Speeding drivers, motorists that run a red light, and people who make risky left turns are just a few of the scenarios that can turn your day into a nightmare.
  • Motorcycle accidents. When drivers fail to notice motorcycles, the results can be devastating. Injuries to riders and their passengers such as bone fractures and road rash may require extensive medical treatment followed by a long period of recovery and physical therapy.
  • Pedestrian accidents. Pedestrians are completely vulnerable to accidents caused by drivers of trucks and motor vehicles. Drivers who don’t look out for pedestrians or violate your right-of-way must be held accountable for their unsafe behavior.
  • Bicycles, scooters, and skateboards. Even when you ride safely, there’s no way to anticipate drivers who make dangerous maneuvers like merging into your lane, ignoring stop signs, or opening the driver-side door right in front of you.
  • Truck accidents. A fully loaded big rig truck weighs over 80,000 pounds. Trucks have a much longer stopping distance than cars. When a truck collides with a pedestrian or a regular passenger vehicle, the damage is usually severe. We’ve helped victims recover from rollover accidents, jackknifes, runaway trailers, underride accidents, and other devastating accidents caused by unsafe truckers.
  • Dog bites. Sadly, children are most likely to be the victim of a dog attack. These incidents cause severe trauma and scars that are difficult to heal. Extensive medical treatment is often required. California has strict liability laws, which means you don’t have to prove the owner of the dog that bit you was being irresponsible. Dog owners have a responsibility to protect others from harm and prevent their animal from roaming free.
  • Premises liability includes injuries caused by slip and fall accidents and other types of injuries that occur when businesses, property owners, and landlords fail to remove hazards that can harm others.
  • Wrongful death. Nothing hurts like losing someone you love. And knowing that your loved one’s death was caused by somebody’s negligent or reckless actions weighs heavily on the victim’s family. We can help you get compensation for funeral costs, medical expenses, and other losses including the pain you’re suffering due to your loss.
