Practice Areas

Overview

There are nearly as many different types of personal injury actions as there are ways for one person or entity to damage another. We try to restrict our practice to those areas listed to the left of this page, but through our experience and contacts we can direct prospective clients to colleagues in any fields we do not cover. On the other hand, we enjoy the challenge of developing new theories of liability whenever we feel our client has been wronged.



Practice Areas

$1,100,000 Settlement in Motorcycle Death
Tim Hamilton obtained a $1.1 million dollar settlement on behalf of the wife and children of a young, uninsured motorcycle rider who was struck in a Fresno-area intersection by a motor vehicle operator who failed to see him.

$5,858,000 Verdict for Elderly Pedestrian in San Mateo
Skip Walker tried the case of Yao v. Thrasher to a multi-million dollar verdict on October 27. The offer when Skip was first brought into the case was $0. Thereafter, it was raised to $250,000 then $500,000, and then $1,000,000 while the jury was out. Liability was found to rest half with defendant driver, and half with the pedestrian, who was a recent arrival from China. The magazine VERDICT SERVICES made this case “Verdict of the Week.”
