California Personal Injury Claim Attorneys
If you or someone in your family has been seriously injured in an accident caused by the negligence of another, contact an experienced personal injury claim attorney at the San Jose law firm of Shea & Shea. For over 40 years, our AV rated* firm has concentrated on proving and recovering damages for clients in serious injury claims, especially those involving brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and other neurological problems.
The Experience Needed to Pursue Damages From All Possible Sources
Our practice emphasizes the prompt and intensive investigation of the circumstances of an accident so that we have the best possible chance of proving liability — not only against the most obvious defendant — but also against any other party whose negligence might have played a role either in causing the accident or in aggravating the extent or your injuries.
For example, in a motorcycle accident case, we will not only litigate your claims against the negligent driver responsible for your injuries, we will also engage product safety experts to assess the prospects of a defective products claim against the manufacturer of your helmet. Our ability to pursue your personal injury claims against multiple defendants maximizes the likelihood that the compensation you actually collect will cover the full range of your damages.
