Our client was struck while walking in a marked crosswalk in the City of San Jose. At the time of the accident, he was an undocumented alien, having recently come to the United States from Mexico. He suffered a closed head injury, which impairs his memory and ability to work. We took the case and were able to obtain a $1,490,000 settlement in early mediation.
Result: $1.5 million settlement.
Bay Area law firm representing victims of serious pedestrian accidents
Over the last 30 years, the Oakland based law firm of Gwilliam, Ivary, Chiosso, Cavalli & Brewer has helped clients in Oakland, the Bay Area, and throughout northern California obtain compensation for serious injuries or wrongful death as a result of pedestrian accidents. In the vast majority of these cases, we have been able to achieve successful results for our clients. We strive to obtain not only the financial compensation to which our clients are entitled, but try to assist with matters other than the legal concerns.
This kind of holistic approach lends itself not only to more effective representation but also entails, for example, helping clients procure medical treatment from health care providers, or counseling to help them deal with the traumatic, sometimes psychological effects of a serious accident.
We have formed long-term friendships with our clients because we took the time to get to know them and to understand the devastating effects of their injuries.
If you have suffered a serious or catastrophic injury, or lost someone you love as the result of a pedestrian accident; or if you are an attorney interested in referring a pedestrian accident client to a high quality firm - we will promptly respond to your inquiry.
