What we handle

A city bus, a school bus or a private coach. Passengers, pedestrians and other drivers can all have a claim. If a public agency runs the bus, you have only six months to present a claim. It’s the deadline people miss most.

California is a strict liability state: the owner is liable even if the dog never bit anyone before. That covers bites only. A dog that knocks someone over is a negligence claim instead.

Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, failure to monitor. These have their own, shorter deadline in California, so call early.

Workers’ comp covers most injuries on the job. But if someone other than your employer caused it, like a contractor, a driver or a manufacturer, you may have a second claim. Most people never find out.

Assaults, defective products, injuries at a gym or pool. If someone else’s carelessness put you in the hospital, call.
