California Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury Claims Lawyer
Personal injuries can create substantial, ongoing costs for families and individuals. Most serious injuries require future medical treatment that impacts a person’s ability to work and live independently. At the Law Offices of Scott S. Harris, I work with recognized medical experts, accident investigators, and economists in determining the cause of an accident and its full financial impact on my client. I establish a balance of power in the courtroom, prepared to meet the tactics of insurers who often try to reduce claims or avoid paying them at all.
