The settlements we have negotiated and the verdicts that juries have awarded our clients have gone a long way in repairing and rebuilding lives affected by serious injuries and preventable tragedies. But as much as we are proud of the cases we have won, we are equally proud of the greater role we have played in preventing accidents through fostering accountability and bettering the role of the civil justice system in our society. Historically, the criminal courts are responsible for enforcing the law and setting the consequences for wrongdoers. But today, we understand that we also have a role in this endeavor. We believe that responsibility and accountability are words that are often used but not followed in today’s society. Accepting responsibility means not only stating that someone is at fault but also not relying upon frivolous defenses and hiring paid doctors to testify the people you’ve harmed are not actually harmed.It’s unfortunate that bad accidents happen to good people, but that’s exactly what happens everyday in Riverside County. Whether it’s a distracted driver responsibile for a car crash or a company who sold a dangerous product that caused injury, our attorneys can help.

Choosing the right attorney can not only be the difference between winning and losing, but it can also play a big part in the amount of money that you can recover. For example, most attorneys will try to settle the personal injury cases that come in the door for the fastest payout. While getting paid as soon as possible may seem attractive, it can also be costly because it can mean you do not receive a fair settlement offer from the insurance company. If you hire an attorney that rarely goes to trial, the insurance company knows that and they will offer substantially less to clients represented by a law firm that attempts to settle on a regular basis. However, the insurance company takes an entirely different tune when dealing with a law firm that will take a case to trial because they are fearful of losing and paying substantially more.
