Experienced Advocacy for Injury Victims
If you've been seriously injured because of someone else's negligence, the legal process ahead of you can feel overwhelming — especially when you're dealing with physical recovery, lost income, and the pressure of insurance adjusters who are looking to resolve your claim for as little as possible.
Our personal injury practice is led by Lincoln Tran, who heads the firm’s Litigation Section. A former defense attorney who represented insurance companies and corporations in civil litigation, he now uses that experience to advocate for the people on the other side of those cases. He knows how insurers evaluate claims, where they look for weaknesses, and what it takes to present a case that demands fair compensation.
We Know How the Defense Thinks
Most personal injury attorneys have only ever represented plaintiffs. Lincoln Tran spent years on the defense side, handling civil litigation for insurance companies and national corporations — including a two-week jury trial in 2014 that resulted in a defense verdict.
That experience is now yours. He understands the strategies insurers use to minimize claims, the arguments defense counsel will raise, and the evidence that actually moves the needle in settlement negotiations and at trial. When Lincoln evaluates your case, he's looking at it from both sides of the table — and preparing accordingly.
Types of Cases We Handle
We represent individuals and families who have suffered serious harm due to the negligence of another party. While no two cases are identical, the matters we handle most regularly include:
Results That Speak for Themselves
Every case is different, and past results don’t guarantee a future outcome. But these recoveries reflect the quality of representation Lincoln brings to each client.
Involving Children
Negligent Security
Motor Vehicle Accident
Traumatic Brain Injury
Rear-End Collision
Contractor
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and results depend on the specific facts and circumstances involved.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, and motorcycle collisions caused by negligent drivers — including accidents involving uninsured or underinsured motorists and cases where fault is disputed.
Slip, Trip & Fall
Injuries caused by unsafe conditions on someone else's property — including wet floors, broken walkways, inadequate lighting, and other hazards a property owner knew about or should have known about.
Premises Liability
Injuries arising from dangerous conditions on residential or commercial property, including inadequate security, structural failures, and other hazards a property owner had a duty to address.
Other Negligence Claims
Injuries caused by a third party's careless or reckless conduct that don't fit a single category — if someone else's negligence hurt you, it's worth a conversation.
Wrongful Death
When negligence costs someone their life, the surviving family members may have a claim for wrongful death under California law. These cases involve not only proving liability but quantifying losses that are difficult to put into numbers — financial support, household services, companionship, and the profound grief of losing someone.
We handle wrongful death cases with the seriousness and sensitivity they demand, working closely with surviving spouses, children, and other eligible family members to pursue accountability and fair compensation from the responsible party.
What to Expect
Personal injury cases in California typically move through several stages, and most resolve before trial — but only when the other side knows you're prepared to go the distance. Here's how we approach your case:
- Free case evaluation — we review the facts, assess liability, and give you an honest assessment of your claim before any commitment
- Investigation and evidence gathering — police reports, witness statements, medical records, photographs, and expert consultation where needed
- Medical treatment coordination — we work to ensure your injuries are properly documented throughout your treatment and recovery
- Insurance negotiation — we handle all communications with the at-fault party's insurer and push back when lowball offers are made
- Litigation when necessary — if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to file suit and take your case to trial
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorney's fees unless we recover compensation for you.
