Personal Injury

Outstanding Client Service on Complex Personal Injury Claims

Callahan & Blaine was established in 1984 as a law firm focused on the resolution of complex disputes through superior litigation skills: pleading, discovery, depositions, law and motion, negotiation and trial advocacy. First applied primarily to complex business litigation and corporate cases, for the last 15 years our attorneys now have applied our exceptional trial and litigation skills on behalf of clients in Southern California and the United State in the areas of catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death litigation. We are California’s Premier Personal Injury Litigation Firm.

One of our recent settlements — a $50 million settlement in a complex municipal liability case — set the record as the largest reported personal injury recovery in United States history. Our more than 20 highly experienced trial and litigation attorneys and our extensive experience with the litigation and trial of complex business matters provide Callahan & Blaine a huge advantage in personal injury cases. Callahan & Blaine is recognized nationally for winning the most complex and difficult cases, including the highest jury verdict in Orange County history, $934 million.

If your personal injury or wrongful death claim involves damages in the millions, difficult insurance coverage issues, or complex projections of future treatment or life assistance needs on disputed facts, contact Callahan & Blaine in Orange County for an initial consultation about your litigation options. You’ll find that there are many advantages to working with trial attorneys with a national reputation for excellence in civil litigation. Whether you need an Irvine personal injury attorney, Santa Ana personal injury lawyer, or a Newport Beach personal injury attorney, Callahan & Blaine can help.

More Than Thirty World Class Litigators – 700 Years of Combined Experience

We use our experience with the demands of complex business litigation to inform our personal injury practice on the most challenging cases involving traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage or California wrongful death claims. We hold the record for the highest personal injury settlement in U.S. history* — $50 million in 2007 on behalf of two women who suffered quadriplegia when struck by a driver in a bicycle lane.

Our careful attention to detail in the identification of insurance coverage and the proof of damages in complex injury claims means that no potential source of compensation will be overlooked in developing your lawsuit. In the worst injury cases, it can be difficult to find a defendant whose coverage is adequate for your losses.

Our experience with the litigation of damages claims against any accountable party in a catastrophic injury case can make the decisive difference.

Car accidents

Bicycle or pedestrian accidents

Truck accidents

Motorcycle accidents

Dangerous property conditions
