Vehicle
Our attorneys have years of experience in handling the claims of persons injured in vehicle accidents. Our attorneys know how to protect you from the insurance companies and to present your claim in the best way possible to ensure that your rights are protected and that you get the recovery that you deserve. Even if you are partially at fault in an accident involving a motor vehicle, you may have a right under the law to recover damages for all or some of your injuries. Let our expert attorneys guide you through the process.
Personal Injury
Ownership Dispute
Slip & Fall
If you have been injured by slipping or tripping on an unclean or unsafe floor, sidewalk, stair, ramp or any other unsafe location, you have the right to seek the cost of medical care and compensation for your injuries, your pain and suffering and your emotional distress from all persons, corporations, business owners and property owners who were responsible for that unsafe condition. You may also pursue a claim against a state, county, city or other public entity if your accident occurs on government-owned property such as a sidewalk, government building or other government property. Injuries resulting from slippery floors, unsafe lighting, unsafe handrails, broken sidewalks, broken concrete, poorly designed walkways or hallways, foreign objects in the walking path and failure to mark or warn of unsafe conditions may all give rise to a winnable claim.
Elder Abuse
California law provides special protection for the rights of persons over 65 years of age who have been victimized or injured through neglect, abuse or by indifferent care providers. Consulting the right attorney on an elder abuse or nursing home neglect issue – and doing so early – is a critical first step in preventing further abuse and addressing past abuses.
Let our attorneys prescribe a course of action that will directly address the problem and we will work every step of the way to accomplish the best result obtainable.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one has died as a result of the wrongful or negligent conduct of another, those who survive him or her may be entitled to recover damages from the responsible party. The law allows certain survivors, such as a spouse, children and in many cases other family members and loved ones, to recover damages against the person, business or government entity that caused the wrongful death.
Our attorneys know that dealing with the loss of a loved one is a difficult and painful process and wish to relieve you of the burden of dealing with the legal issues that arise from a wrongful death. When you are grieving for your loss, you are at your most vulnerable. We can help you protect your rights now and pursue your claim going forward.
Accidental Injury
Oftentimes persons suffer grave injury on private property, in businesses such as restaurants, bars and stores, on construction sites or at work. In many of these cases the injured party is entitled to compensation, damages, medical expenses, lost wages and other payments from insurance companies, business or property owners. Our attorneys can explain your rights and your chances of recovering monetary damages.
