It just takes a split second for a routine day to turn disastrous due to a car accident, workplace injury or other catastrophic event. One moment you’re planning for the weekend or thinking about work, and the next moment you’re inside an ambulance or headed into surgery. As leading California personal injury lawyers, we see this happen every day. Hackard Law has a reputation for aggressively representing clients who have suffered wrongdoing so they can get the justice they deserve.
We fight hard to get the maximum payout in settlement agreements and jury awards. There is no reason an accident victim should be stuck with huge medical bills, lost wages and nowhere to turn – especially if the accident was due to someone else’s negligence. While we cannot reduce the pain of broken bones, paralysis or the loss of a loved one, we can make sure that the guilty party pays for the damage, pain and suffering they caused. If you or a family member has been seriously injured in an accident, our Sacramento personal injury lawyers can help. While we cannot reverse things back to the way they were before the injury, we can make sure that those who caused the injury are held accountable. You do not have to face this alone.

At Hackard Law, we handle many different types of personal injury cases. Some of these include:
Far too many motorists are careless on the roadway, and this can lead to serious and sometimes catastrophic car accidents. In some cases, poor maintenance or a manufacturing defect can also cause drivers to spin out and lose control of their vehicles.
Because motorcycles are so much smaller and lighter than trucks or cars, a collision involving a motorcycle can often spell disaster for the cyclist. Motorcycles typically weigh about 400 pounds compared to cars (which weigh about 2,000 pounds) and semi-trucks (anywhere from 35,000 to 80,000 pounds). Motorcycle accidents are often catastrophic or deadly.
Whether pulling a fully loaded or empty trailer, big rigs vastly outweigh any other vehicle on the road. Collisions with a semi-truck typically result in serious injuries and fatalities among those riding in a passenger vehicle. There is also the danger of fire or hazardous chemical spills with large truck accidents.
Vehicle collisions, workplace accidents and serious falls can all result in brain injuries for the victim. Whether this means a loss of motor skills, impaired cognition, brain damage or other severe mental impairments, these types of injuries can have lifelong consequences. Victims often require years of medical treatment, personal in-home care and rehabilitation.
There’s nothing more tragic than when an accident results in a spinal cord injury, leaving the victim paralyzed or with reduced mobility. The spine is a critical epicenter of the body, and these injuries often severely reduce a victim’s quality of life. It can also devastate the entire family if the injured person was the breadwinner and can no longer work and earn a living.
Catastrophic accidents can result in the death of a loved one. Not only is the family grieving, but there are mounting medical bills, burial costs, loss of companionship and a very uncertain future. Survivors can seek damages in wrongful death cases.
Sometimes a picture (or a video) is worth a thousand words, so at Hackard Law we like to show as well as tell. California personal injury law can be high-stakes and complicated, so we’ve taken the time to create a video explaining your legal rights and potential damages in these personal injury cases.
