PERSONAL INJURY

When you or a loved one are seriously injured through the wrongful acts of others, we understand the pain, suffering, emotional stress and the short and long term effects on personal and professional life.

For over 30 years we have helped people just like you obtain substantial compensation for their personal injury claims. We are able to resolve many claims informally, through direct contact with the other side or their insurance company. For those claims that proceed to a lawsuit, we will take you through each stage of litigation including trial. In fact, we investigate and handle every case as if it were going to trial. That way, not only are we prepared to present your case to a jury, but the other side realizes how prepared we are and substantial pre-trial settlements often result.

We take each case personally and treat our clients as if we were representing a family member. We form a strong partnership with you and communicate with you throughout all stages of your case. After all, it is your case and you have every right to ask questions, make decisions and understand the process.

Your job is to get better. Our job is to handle everything else regarding your case and to protect your legal rights! We deal directly with the other parties involved, their insurance companies and their attorneys so your time is spent healing and recuperating. We only get paid if you win your case; otherwise, you owe us nothing. We have every incentive to get you top dollar!

We pride ourselves in developing alternative theories of recovery in personal injury actions when the wrongdoer is insolvent or uninsured. We pursue underinsured and uninsured motorist claims; hold employers liable for the acts of their employees; demonstrate civil conspiracies among groups; and “pierce the corporate veil” to hold officers, directors and shareholders personally liable for the wrongful acts of their company’s personnel. We also look to hold the state, county or city liable for injuries caused by government employees and/or dangerous conditions of public property.

We have recovered millions of dollars in damages for our minor, adult and elderly clients for injuries caused by:

  • Collisions involving automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, big rig trucks, boats, water craft, aircraft, and pedestrians.
  • Defective products.
  • Defective private and public premises causing trip/slip and falls, injuries to persons in warehouses and other commercial buildings, and toxic exposure.
  • Sexual abuse by corporate and institutional employees and clergy.
  • Dangerous animals including dog bites.
  • Insurance bad faith.
  • Violations under the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act.
