Our team serves clients in Berkeley, Fremont, Hayward, Alameda, and surrounding communities with the skill and dedication we’ve built our reputation on.

We handle a wide range of personal injury cases. Here’s how we can help.

Car Accidents: Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable

Every day, drivers in Alameda County are hurt in crashes caused by someone else’s poor choices. From distracted driving to speeding and running red lights, the consequences can be severe.

We handle all types of motor vehicle collisions, including:

If you’ve been injured, we’ll gather the evidence, speak to witnesses, and work to hold the at-fault driver and their insurance company responsible for your medical bills, lost income, and pain.

Truck Accidents: High-Impact Collisions With Lasting Consequences

Accidents involving large commercial trucks can cause devastating harm. These cases often involve multiple layers of liability, including trucking companies, drivers, and maintenance crews.

We’ve handled claims involving:

  • Fatigued or overworked truck drivers
  • Poor vehicle maintenance or brake failures
  • Overloaded or unbalanced cargo

Our team understands the complexities these cases bring and works hard to protect our clients’ rights.

Motorcycle Accidents: Fighting Bias Against Riders

Motorcyclists face more danger on the road than drivers in passenger vehicles. Unfortunately, they’re often blamed unfairly for crashes caused by others.

We help riders who suffer serious injuries due to:

  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Drivers failing to yield
  • Roadway hazards

You focus on healing. We’ll focus on building a strong claim on your behalf.

Rideshare Accidents: Lyft and Uber Collisions

Injuries involving Uber or Lyft can create confusion when it comes to insurance coverage. Whether you were a rideshare passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, we’ll help make sense of your legal options.

California law requires rideshare companies to carry specific types of insurance depending on the driver’s status during the crash. We’ll examine the details of your case and hold the right party accountable.

Pedestrian Accidents: Protection for Those on Foot

Alameda County’s busy city streets can be dangerous for people walking, especially near intersections or school zones.

Common causes of pedestrian crashes include:

  • Drivers failing to yield in crosswalks
  • Speeding in residential areas
  • Inattentive turns at intersections

We help injured pedestrians recover the compensation they need to cover medical care and move forward.

Premises Liability: Injuries on Dangerous Property

If you slipped, tripped, or were hurt due to unsafe property conditions, the owner may be liable. These cases often involve:

  • Wet floors without warning signs
  • Poor lighting in stairwells
  • Broken handrails or walkways

We’ve helped clients in Alameda County recover compensation from stores, apartment complexes, and public buildings where safety was ignored.

Construction Accidents: Injured as a Bystander or Worker

Construction zones create hazards not only for workers but also for nearby pedestrians and drivers. We represent people hurt by:

  • Falling tools or debris
  • Poorly marked trenches or walkways
  • Unsafe scaffolding near sidewalks

If you were injured near a construction site in Alameda County, we’ll investigate who’s responsible and pursue a claim against the liable party.

Product Liability: When Defective Products Cause Harm

When a defective product causes injury, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be responsible. We’ve handled cases involving:

  • Faulty brakes or auto parts
  • Dangerous consumer goods
  • Products with missing safety warnings

We work to uncover what went wrong and demand accountability from those who put unsafe products on the market.

Wrongful Death: Pursuing Justice for Your Loved One

Losing a loved one due to negligence is devastating. We represent families in wrongful death claims across Alameda County with compassion and care.

These claims often arise from:

  • Fatal car or truck accidents
