Most of our cases involve catastrophic injuries to the brain or spinal cord. For more than 40 years, we have helped severely injured clients and their families recover full and fair compensation for brain injuries ranging from concussion to coma, and for the disabilities resulting from permanent damage to the central nervous system. Not only do we work to maximize the value of your claim, we also serve as a resource to our clients to make sure that their medical condition is properly diagnosed and treated, and that their family's needs are being served.

Team of Experts

We work with outstanding experts from such fields as neurology, neuropsychology, physiatry, emergency medicine, vocational therapy, physical therapy, and life care planning. Our multidisciplinary approach to your recovery and your legal rights is in many cases essential to the proper identification and treatment of your injuries, as well as to the recovery of the financial compensation you will need to cover lost income and future treatment and rehabilitative needs.

Our success for our clients depends to a great extent upon our ability to assemble the right team of experts in every case to perform the highly technical analysis necessary to prove the defendant's liability and the true nature and extent of your damages. At Shea & Shea, our national reputation for effective client service in complex brain and spinal injury litigation gives us access to distinguished experts in whatever field applies to your specific circumstances.

Complex catastrophic injury litigation can be very expensive--one of our recent cases involved the participation of no fewer than 18 experts. Fortunately for our clients, our past success in catastrophic injury litigation enables us to assume the risk of advancing the expenses involved in establishing your claim as thoroughly and persuasively as possible. We only collect attorneys' fees and recover expenses when we collect a settlement or verdict for you.

We limit our caseload so that we can provide attentive and personalized service to each of our clients. If you need legal representation to recover personal injury or wrongful death damages resulting from an accident anywhere in California or another western state, or if you simply need some personal injury resources following an accident, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer at Shea & Shea.

Car Accidents

After being involved in a car accident, many people are traumatized by the injuries and the sudden impact of another vehicle. Injuries that are sustained in car crashes generally range from whiplash to cuts and lacerations and eventually can escalate to catastrophic injuries. When a person suffers a more serious injury, such as a broken bone, burn injury, brain injury or spinal cord injury, they are often forced to be in a hospital for long periods of time. Additionally, they may be forced to undergo surgical procedures to ensure that they can heal properly. Some car accident cases lead to permanent disfigurement or disability, such as paralysis, and others may even lead to wrongful death. If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident in the San Jose area, do not wait to call an attorney – your future health may depend on it.

Sustaining minor to catastrophic injuries in an accident of any type can be one of the most devastating events in an individual's and a family's life. It can create unwanted medical bills, pain and stress on the lives surrounding the victim, in addition to the victim themselves. If you or someone you love has suffered injuries in an accident, now is the right time to call our firm. We take advantage of the most advanced technology and innovative strategies to help protect our clients from becoming yet another victim – the victim of unfair insurance adjusters.

Far too many times our firm has seen clients slip into debt because they tried to handle the personal injury claim on their own. They spoke to insurance companies before securing legal representation and secured a claim that was much less than what it should have been. One of the greatest benefits of working with a seasoned San Jose personal injury lawyer is that your attorney will gather information from every single aspect of your accident and use that in the personal injury claim. Emotional trauma, physical injuries, damages to your car, home or property, lost wages, and many other aspects are taken into account when your legal representation files your claim.

To ensure that you obtain all of the financial compensation that you are entitled to, be sure that you are working with an experienced law firm with decades of experience under their belt. Working with an inexperienced firm can cause you to make errors on your claim, potentially having it dropped or a monetary deduction. When you have been injured, you need to call a law firm that is ready to go to bat for you. At our office, which opened its doors in 1966, we invite you to take advantage of our free case evaluation to determine if we are the right firm for your case.
