We Turn Our Knowledge
Into Your Power
For over eighteen years our attorneys have aggressively represented workers injured at or near the water, private contractors on defense bases and civilians working on bases for the moral, welfare and recreation of the military. Senior attorney Tim Brictson's lengthy legal career has included work on the defense side of this area of law. He has worked for various companies as a claims examiner and adjuster including National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) in San Diego as well as a defense attorney. Our Law Firm has an inside understanding of the defense side and the tactics and techniques used by insurance companies, their adjusters and their attorneys to defeat or minimize these type of serious injury claims. We have handled every aspect of these claims including those with the most complex issues and injuries including deaths. We have done hundreds and hundreds of hearings and trials for our clients. To maximize your recovery in every case, we use the knowledge of our attorneys in related areas of law.
We Get You Results
Our clients consistently get very good results, including against the biggest corporations and their insurance companies. Our clients have obtained numerous high value and newsworthy settlements, jury verdicts and awards that have been reported in publications such as the San Diego Business Journal and most recently a "Notable Case of the Week" in Trials Digest. We have posted some of our more recent results and accomplishments in Case Results which includes cases from our attorneys in Ship Yard and Defense Base Cases.
We Treat You with the Diligence, Attention and Respect You Deserve
In turn, our clients consistently refer their family and friends to us. Some recent clients include a painter who was severely injured after falling several levels from a scaffold while painting inside a ship tank. We are proud of what our client have to say about us and have posted recent testimonials and letters in Client Testimonials.
We Do Not Get Paid
Unless You Win
In nearly all cases, you do not pay attorney fees if we do not win against the Defendant or Wrongdoer, through an award, order, or judgment in your favor or an acceptable settlement between the parties. Because we do not get paid unless you do, we screen our cases carefully and always work hard to ensure you get the maximum monetary compensation possible.
