Our client prevails in hotly contested civil rights claim-Hopkins v. Bonvicino
Lawyers at Boskovich & Appleton have been successfully representing clients in personal injury matters in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1990. We have achieved seven-figure results on behalf of injured clients in a broad range of matters. Our cases include wrongful death, auto accidents, recreational accidents, slips and falls, dog bites, workplace injury, assaults, accidents around machinery, product liability and injury on business premises.
An injury to you or a loved one can be catastrophic. When dealing with the dire financial effects and prolonged pain and suffering of a serious injury, it is critical to have an attorney who doesn’t treat you like a number, or just another case. Although no legal action can put things back the way they were before the accident, the lawyers at Boskovich & Appleton can help our clients get the compensation they need to move forward, and hopefully recover. Our personal injury practice generally works on a contingency basis; assuring you that your attorneys are committed to your cause, and strive to maximize your compensation, while limiting your risk in hiring an attorney.
Boskovich & Appleton takes cases for clients with diverse injuries and needs. We help people obtain compensation for severe burns, broken bones, wrongful death and catastrophic injuries like brain and spinal injury. We know that each client is unique. As a law firm, we can tailor our approach to best fit your needs. When litigation is required, we are willing and able to go to trial. We work with our clients in order to determine the best path to resolution to your satisfaction. Sometimes an action other than taking a case to trial is best. We strategically use methods of alternative dispute resolution, such as negotiation, arbitration, mediation, and settlement to get the best possible results for you.
The fact is that Insurance Companies have a significant influence on the way that a personal injury case is resolved. Most likely, your personal injury case will involve at least one insurance company. Frequently, we will be coordinating your claim with the defendant's company, and yours. Each insurance company has its own way of handling its claims, and it's own unique way of keeping as much of "their" money as they can. Our firm has a unique ability to maximize your recovery by posturing your case in a way that makes fair compensation and prompt resolution in the best interests for all concerned.
For a majority of the years since 1990, Chris Appleton, the head of our Personal Injury practice group worked primarily as a civil defense litigator; both hired directly by insurance companies, and as an in-house senior trial attorney; evaluating and defending claims for individuals, and businesses. In this experience, Chris has gained a wide breadth of experience in managing, negotiating, and personal injury and major property damage claims.
Chris uses his extensive experience in evaluation, prosecution, negotiation and trial of these matters in order to maximize our financial recovery for our clients. We are particularly adept at positioning your case for resolution in a manner that promotes your goals, while insulating you from a majority of the trauma of a lawsuit. When representing victims in personal injury cases, our experience in defending these types of cases allows us a unique perspective, which enables us to quickly and accurately evaluate a case and our clients' potential recovery.
Because of our history working for and against the insurance industry, we have established credibility with the various insurance carriers who insure for these types of losses. Our reputation for ethical and dedicated advocacy allows us to quickly and fairly negotiate settlements where possible for our clients. Should a matter not resolve through settlement or alternative dispute resolution, our trial lawyers are more than capable of delivering a successful result for our personal injury clients in the courtroom. We welcome referrals of select cases from local practitioners.
