When a medical error or serious injury changes your life, the outcome of your case affects your future, and your family’s. Results matter because they determine what comes next. Extraordinary results don’t come from slogans — they come from preparation, judgment, and the willingness to take on the hardest cases. That philosophy has defined Bostwick & Associates from the beginning.
Founded by nationally recognized trial lawyer James S. Bostwick, our firm has spent decades setting and breaking records in medical malpractice and catastrophic injury cases. Each result reflects a disciplined, client-focused approach built for cases where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
We apply individualized strategies and careful preparation to every case we handle. Working with our award-winning medical malpractice lawyers, you can trust that we understand what is at stake and will approach each case with the focus and diligence necessary to recover the highest compensation.
A History of Record-Breaking Results
In 1978, James S. Bostwick secured the largest medical malpractice verdict in U.S. history at that time, going head-to-head with two major hospitals in an extremely challenging case on behalf of a young woman whose negligent radiation treatments had left her quadriplegic. Since then, he has set and broken multiple records in California and across the nation, handling extremely sensitive and high-stakes cases involving medical malpractice, personal injury, birth injury, and many other practice areas. His example established a culture of preparation, discipline, and client-focused representation that continues to guide our firm today.
Under his leadership, our San Francisco-based personal injury law firm has achieved some of the highest outcomes in the state on behalf of injured clients and their families, including:
- $21,000,000: The largest California non-punitive verdict for a single individual.
- $16,500,000: The largest medical malpractice recovery in this Northern California county.
- $15,000,000: The largest pretrial settlement against the United States.
These outcomes reflect our firm’s depth of experience and commitment to delivering results for our clients, making everyone at Bostwick & Associates confident in our ability to help you fight for the compensation you deserve.
