Testimonials
"Jackson & Wilson
came highly recommended to us from a Superior Court Judge who is a good
friend of ours. We were pleased with both the high level of
professionalism and the constant concern for our best interest. We were
always kept well informed of the status of our case. We feel highly
confident in referring Jackson & Wilson to others."
-- Mr. Chris B (Local contractor and Laguna Niguel family man)
"Your firm helped me
through one of the most difficult time of my life. You were all so
gracious about any questions I had. The speed with which you brought my
legal case to a fair and fast conclusion was so appreciated and I am
sure I would not be in the position I am in if you hadn’t resolved it
and got the monetary help for me."
-- Ms. Elaine A. (Retired and active senior citizen)

Most people are not aware of the fact that motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury and death in the United States. Americans collectively drive almost three trillion miles per year and each year, about three million people are injured or killed.
According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (for 2001)
-
3,000,000 people were injured in motor vehicle accidents
-
41,300 died in motor vehicle accidents
-
40% of the fatalities were alcohol related
-
2,600 children under the age of 15 were killed in motor vehicle accidents
-
7,500 young drivers (16-20) were involved in fatal crashes
-
3,000 motorcyclists were killed
-
4,700 pedestrians were killed
-
Improper use of seat belts accounted for 63% of the fatalities.
The general test of ordinary care and skill applies to a vehicle operator unless a statute specifies a standard of conduct. Minor's are held to the same standard as adults. In many cases, the rules of negligence apply to accidents involving automobiles and motorcycles.
A driver who exercises due care is entitled to assume that others will obey the law and use ordinary care. A person facing a sudden emergency is not required to use the same judgment and prudence that would be required in the exercise of ordinary care in a non-emergency situation.
Negligence and not strict liability normally governs the liability of a driver who loses control of a vehicle on suddenly and unforeseeably losing consciousness or function. When it comes to pedestrians, the driver of an automobile must use greater care because of his greater capacity for causing harm.
A driver involved in an injury accident must stop and render aid. And driving a vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicating liquor, drug, or both raises a presumption of negligence.
The owner of an automobile may be liable for injury resulting from its negligent or wrongful operation by a permissive user, even when the user is not an employee. A vehicle owner is also liable for injuries resulting from negligently entrusting the vehicle to an unfit, incompetent, or reckless driver. Adults may be liable for the negligent driving of minors and employers liable for their employees negligent operation of an automobile.
