PARKINSON BENSON POTTER | an association of independent trial lawyersPersonal Injury Lawyers

At Parkinson Benson Potter, our personal injury lawyers handle a variety of cases, including accidents involving:

• Motor vehicles,
• Brain injuries,
• Dog bites,
• Slip-and-falls,
• Injuries on someone else’s property, and
• Wrongful death caused by negligence.

Our personal injury lawyers help their clients recover the maximum value of damages from the person or company who caused their injury. These damages can include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

In some cases, our personal injury lawyers may also be able to help their clients get punitive damages. Punitive damages are awarded to punish the person or company that caused the accident and to deter others from engaging in similar conduct.

If you have been injured in an accident, you should contact our personal injury lawyers to discuss your case. During the consultation, the lawyer will review the facts of your case and give you their opinion on whether or not you have a valid claim.

If the lawyer believes you have a valid claim, they will typically offer to represent you on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will only have to pay the lawyer if they are successful in recovering damages for you.

Call us at (415) 534-7970 or use the contact form on this page to schedule a consultation . We can help you find the answers to your questions and take your first step towards getting compensated.

If you have been involved in an accident, there are certain steps you should take to protect your rights:

Seek medical attention: Even if you do not think you were seriously injured, it is always a good idea to seek medical attention after an accident. A doctor can evaluate your injuries and document the extent of your damages. This documentation will be important if you decide to file a claim.

Preserve evidence: If possible, you should take pictures of the accident scene and your injuries. You should also save any damaged property, such as clothes or shoes. These items can be used as evidence to support your claim.

Get witness information: If there are any witnesses to the accident, you should get their names and contact information. Their testimony may be important to your case.

Do not give a statement to the other party’s insurance company: The insurance company will likely try to contact you after the accident. They may even offer you a quick settlement. However, you should not give a statement to the insurance company without first consulting with a lawyer. Anything you say to the insurance company could be used against you.
