PRACTICE AREAS
Auto Accident Lawyers
A car accident can leave you with medical bills, missed work, and an insurance company that wants to settle fast and for as little as possible. Our California car accident lawyers step in early so you can focus on recovering. We handle rear-end collisions, T-bone and intersection crashes, head-on collisions, drunk driving accidents, hit-and-runs, and rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft.
California law requires you to report any crash involving an injury, a death, or more than $1,000 in property damage. You should notify the police within 24 hours, and you must file an SR-1 form with the DMV within 10 days. After that, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file an injury claim. Because California follows comparative negligence, you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault.
We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and photos to prove who caused the crash and what it has cost you. That includes medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering. Our firm has won over $100 million for clients, and Forbes Advisor named Brooks Cutter to its 2025 list of Best Car Accident Lawyers in Sacramento. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we win your case.
California Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers
Families trust nursing homes and assisted living facilities to keep their loved ones safe. When a facility cuts corners on staffing, training, or supervision, residents can suffer bedsores, falls, malnutrition, dehydration, physical abuse, or sexual abuse. These injuries are rarely accidents. They often result from preventable neglect.
Our California nursing home abuse lawyers help families hold facilities, operators, and staff accountable. California’s Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act protects residents 65 and older, as well as dependent adults, and can allow families to recover additional damages and attorney’s fees when a facility acts recklessly. Many facilities also ask families to sign arbitration agreements at admission, and we can review whether those agreements are enforceable.
We investigate care records, staffing levels, state inspection reports, and prior complaints to show what went wrong. Our firm has recovered $485,000 for a resident harmed in a skilled nursing facility and $914,506.51 for a dependent adult abused at a residential care facility. You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim, or from the date of death in a wrongful death case. If you suspect abuse, contact us for a free and confidential case review.
Sexual Abuse Lawyers
Coming forward about sexual abuse takes courage, and survivors deserve a legal team that treats their story with respect. Our California sexual abuse lawyers represent survivors in civil cases against the individuals and institutions that allowed abuse to happen, including churches, schools, youth sports organizations, care facilities, and rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft.
A civil case is separate from any criminal case. You do not need a criminal conviction to file, and the focus is on holding responsible parties accountable and securing compensation for therapy, medical care, lost income, and emotional harm. Institutions that ignored warning signs, failed to screen employees, or covered up complaints can be held liable for the harm they allowed.
California has expanded the time survivors have to take legal action. Survivors of childhood sexual abuse can now file until age 40, or later in some circumstances, and there is no filing deadline at all for childhood abuse that occurred on or after January 1, 2024. Deadlines for adult survivors vary based on when the abuse occurred and when it was discovered.
Every conversation with our firm is confidential. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we win you compensation.
California Class Action Lawyers
When a company harms thousands of people in the same way, a class action lets them fight back together. Our California class action lawyers represent consumers, employees, and patients in cases involving data breaches, wage theft, defective products, and deceptive business practices. By combining claims, class members can take on large corporations without the cost and risk of filing individual lawsuits.
California allows class actions when a group shares common legal and factual questions and filing separate cases would be impractical. A court must certify the class before the case moves forward, and a representative plaintiff stands in for the group. If the case settles or wins at trial, eligible class members share in the recovery.
Our firm has taken on some of the country’s largest corporations. Founder Brooks Cutter helped secure a $240 million settlement against Boston Scientific and Guidant over defective cardiac devices, and our attorneys have recovered millions more in fraud and whistleblower cases. We currently handle claims involving data breaches, illegal fantasy sports platforms, Forme posture bras, and Save Mart wage theft.
Class members typically pay nothing out of pocket. Contact us for a free case review to find out whether you qualify to join a current case.
California Wildfire Lawyers
Losing your home, business, or community to a wildfire is devastating, and recovering from it should not fall on you alone. Partner John Roussas knows this firsthand. His family lost their home in the 2017 Tubbs Fire, and that experience shapes how our California wildfire lawyers fight for fire survivors today.
Many of California’s most destructive wildfires have been linked to utility equipment. Under California law, utilities like PG&E and Southern California Edison can be held responsible for fires their power lines and equipment start, even when they claim they did nothing wrong. When a company consciously disregards public safety, survivors may also recover punitive damages.
Our firm has represented survivors of the Camp, Dixie, Kincade, Mosquito, and Maui fires and is currently accepting cases from the Eaton Fire in Los Angeles County. We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for clients, including compensation for destroyed homes and property, lost business income, relocation costs, smoke damage, personal injuries, and emotional distress. We also help survivors push back when their insurance company underpays or denies a claim.
You generally have three years to file a property damage claim and two years for personal injury or wrongful death. We work on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we win.
Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Patients trust doctors, nurses, and hospitals to provide safe, competent care. When a provider falls below the accepted standard of care, the results can be life-changing. Our California medical malpractice lawyers represent patients and families harmed by misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, surgical errors, medication errors, anesthesia errors, and birth injuries, including cases involving large health systems like Kaiser Permanente.
Medical malpractice cases follow their own rules in California. You must give the provider 90 days’ notice before filing a lawsuit, and you generally have one year from the date you discovered the injury or three years from the date it happened, whichever comes first, to file. California’s MICRA law caps non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, but those caps have risen every year since 2023, and economic damages like medical bills and lost income are not capped.
Proving malpractice requires medical experts, a close review of your records, and attorneys who understand how providers defend these cases. Our firm has won a $7.6 million verdict for a patient left with a spinal cord injury after doctors failed to diagnose a tumor. If you believe a medical mistake harmed you or a loved one, contact us for a free case review. You pay nothing unless we win.
Premises Liability Lawyers
California property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they ignore wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting, uneven walkways, or inadequate security, people get hurt. Our California premises liability lawyers represent people injured in slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, construction site accidents, and assaults caused by negligent security.
To win a premises liability claim, you must show that the owner or manager knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it, guard against it, or warn you about it. That often comes down to evidence like surveillance footage, maintenance and inspection logs, incident reports, and prior complaints, which is why it matters to act quickly before that evidence is lost.
Our firm has secured a $10 million settlement in a trip-and-fall case and a $350,000 settlement for a slip-and-fall in San Jose. You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. If your injury happened on public property, such as a sidewalk or government building, you must file a claim with the agency within six months. We charge no upfront fees, and you pay nothing unless we win.
