What Sets Bostwick & Associates Apart

Not all personal injury law firms approach cases the same way. At our firm, we focus on high-stakes, complex litigation involving catastrophic injuries and medical negligence. Our approach is built on thorough investigation, collaboration with leading experts, and a willingness to take cases to trial when necessary. We treat every case as the serious matter that it is, one that deserves detailed attention and strategic counsel.

Our firm stands apart from so many others because we have:

• Recovered more than $1 billion overall for our clients through successful settlements and verdicts.
• Broken the California record for the largest medical malpractice settlement twice since January 2018.
• Attorney James Bostwick, who has been named Trial Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers® (2012), leading the way.
• Attorney Kevin Thelen, born and raised in the Central Valley, has tried numerous cases to successful verdict in the Central Valley. Kevin is currently an officer in the San Joaquin Valley chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (a prestigious organization that requires members to have extensive first chair trial experience).

How We Help You Handle a Personal Injury Claim

Personal injury claims can quickly become complex, especially when insurance companies and defense attorneys begin working to limit their liability by trying to pin blame on you and others. We guide you through every step of the legal process so you can focus on your recovery while we handle the legal strategy.

When working on a personal injury case, our team will:

• Conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of your injury
• Gather medical records and consult with expert witnesses
• Identify all liable parties and sources of insurance coverage
• Manage communications and negotiations with insurance companies and defense attorneys
• Craft a comprehensive claim that reflects the full extent of your damages
• Prepare your case for trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached

Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Bostwick & Associates represents clients in a wide range of serious personal injury matters throughout the Central Valley. Many of these cases involve catastrophic injuries that require long-term care, rehabilitation, or permanent lifestyle changes.

We handle cases involving the following and more:

• Medical malpractice
• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Birth injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Wrongful death claims
• Defective products
• Premises liability

Our firm is prepared to pursue cases through litigation and trial when necessary. While some claims can be resolved through negotiated settlements, others require courtroom litigation and jury trial to seek a fair outcome. We prepare every case with trial in mind to eliminate, so that our clients are supported by strong evidence and expert testimony whenever possible.

Compensation in a Personal Injury Claim

A personal injury claim is intended to help you recover losses caused by another party’s negligence. Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include both financial and personal impacts resulting from your injuries.

Damages in a personal injury claim may include:

• Economic damages:
  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Rehabilitation and long-term care costs
  • Out-of-pocket expenses related to the injury
• Non-economic damages:
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of companionship or support in wrongful death cases

Accurately valuing a personal injury claim requires more than adding up current expenses. We work closely with medical and financial experts to assess the long-term impact of your injuries, including future treatment needs, ongoing care, and how your ability to work and live independently may be affected. This comprehensive approach helps your claim reflect the full scope of your losses, not just the immediate costs.
