Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a serious injury case?

The best way to know is to talk with an attorney who regularly handles catastrophic cases. We review the facts, your injuries, and your medical course, then assess whether the law supports a claim. Our consultations are free, and there is no obligation to move forward.

What will it cost to hire your team?

We represent clients on a contingency fee basis. That means you do not pay attorney fees unless we obtain a recovery for you. We also advance the costs of litigating the case, which lets families access our representation without paying upfront expenses.

Do you handle medical malpractice and birth injury cases?

Yes. Our firm has focused on medical malpractice and birth injury matters for decades. Founding attorney James Bostwick is a Board Certified Medical Malpractice Specialist, and our team has achieved record-setting malpractice results in California and other states. We carefully evaluate each potential case before accepting it.

How is your firm different from other injury lawyers?

We limit our practice to serious, high-stakes cases and intentionally keep our caseload small. Our history includes record-setting verdicts, more than $1 billion recovered, and over 80 jury trials. Clients work with a focused team that provides personal attention rather than a volume-driven operation.

How long will my case take to resolve?

Timelines vary based on factors like case complexity, court schedules, and how willing defendants are to negotiate. Some matters resolve in settlement within many months, while significant malpractice or wrongful death claims can take longer. We discuss expected timing with you and update you as the case progresses.
