You’re driving down the road and all of a sudden there is a cow in the road.  You aren’t able to avoid hitting the cow.  Your car is damaged and you are injured.  Do you have a claim?  The answer is probably YES!

In California and most states the owner of the cow is not automatically responsible.  You need to show that the owner of the cow was careless in allowing the cow to be on the road. 

I have done dozens of these cases in the past 33 years. It’s my experience that when a cow is on the road, we will almost always find the owner was careless.  We usually find there was a problem with the fence or gates.  Most of these cases settle but we take them to trial if the cow owner does not take responsibility.

A few years ago, I represented a client who was seriously injured by a cow.  He was driving an 18 wheeler truck on a lonely highway in Colorado. It was the middle of the night.  He was driving 55 mph.  All of a sudden he saw a black cow right in the middle of the road.  He could not avoid the cow and hit it head-on. The truck rolled over into a ditch.  The insurance company for the ranch denied the claim.  They said that the ranch had no idea how the cow got off the ranch.   We filed the lawsuit in Federal Court in Colorado. We hired an expert to inspect the fences and gates where the cow was kept.  He found that there was enough of a gap between the gate and fence post that a cow could wedge its head in between the gate and fence post and then squeeze through.  After they took our expert’s deposition they changed their tune and took full responsibility.

Never in my life did I think I would recommend an attorney. Somehow God sent this angel of an attorney to assist me in my personal injury lawsuit. I was told by lawyers in Bakersfield that my lawsuit was frivolous because there was money in it.

I live in Elk Grove where we don’t always have a lot of choices. Lawyers are one area where we have few good choices. I wanted to work with a local law firm after my motorcycle accident, and I chose Glenn Guenard and Ross Bozarth.

My daughter was involved in an automobile accident in an intersection on her 17th birthday. The other person said it was her fault and my daughter said her light was green. I am not the sort of person who sues but my insurance
