Building Your Case After a Catastrophic, Life-Altering Injury
Catastrophic injuries change everything: your ability to work, care for your family, and live independently. A traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, an amputation, a severe burn, or a permanent disfigurement can require extensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, and care that costs millions over a lifetime. I understand what a catastrophic injury means for you and your family, because I spent 28 years in personal injury law watching cases like yours unfold, long before I was admitted to the bar. I build cases that account for more than today's medical bills: your lost earning capacity, home modifications, assistive devices, and the real impact on your quality of life. I work with medical experts, life care planners, and economists to make sure your case reflects what this injury will actually cost you, now and for the rest of your life.
Just been in an accident? Read the six-step checklist →What happens after you call
Free consultation
You tell us what happened. We listen, answer your questions, and tell you honestly whether you have a case. It costs nothing and puts you under no obligation.
Investigation and evidence
We gather the police report, medical records, photos, and witness statements while they are still fresh. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on getting better.
Dealing with the insurance company
Adjusters call early and offer less than a claim is worth. We take those calls instead of you, present the full picture of your injuries, and push back on lowball offers.
Resolution
Most cases settle. If yours does not, we are prepared to file suit and take it to court. Either way, you hear from us at every step, not just when you ask.

You will always know where your case stands
Legal cases are slow and confusing, and most people never hear from their attorney between calls. That is not how this firm works.
- You work directly with your attorney, start to finish
- Updates when something changes, not only when you call
- Straight answers, in English or Spanish
What we take off your plate
An injury claim is not just a legal case. It is phone calls, paperwork, and bills arriving while you are trying to recover. We handle all of it.
The insurance companies
Medical bills and liens
Three things that protect your claim
What you do in the first days after an injury affects what your claim is worth later. These matter more than most people realize.
- See a doctor, and keep every record. Gaps in treatment get used against you
- Do not give a recorded statement before you have talked to an attorney
- Know your deadline. Generally two years, but only six months against a government entity

Questions we hear most
If your question is not here,
Nothing upfront, and the consultation is free. For personal injury claims we work on a contingency fee, which means no attorney's fee unless we recover compensation for you. Case costs may apply. Workers' compensation works differently, because those fees are set and approved by the state. Either way, we explain exactly how yours works before you sign anything.
In California, generally two years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims, but only six months if your claim is against a government entity. Evidence disappears and witnesses forget, so the sooner you call, the better.
Most cases settle before trial. If the insurance company will not offer what your claim is worth, we are prepared to file suit. Being willing to go to court often produces a better offer.
Not before you talk to an attorney. Adjusters often call within days and ask for a recorded statement. Anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Let us handle those conversations.
Yes. Se habla Español. You can call and discuss your case in Spanish.
