How Our Legal Team Can Help
We’ll look into the facts and explain the legal steps available to you. At the same time, we treat sensitive cases with care and collect the evidence needed to make a claim.
Investigating Your Incident
We won’t just take the nursing home or therapist’s word for what happened. Our San Francisco personal injury attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case to preserve important evidence and determine who may be responsible for the harm you or your loved one experienced.
Reviewing the Evidence
We’ll look at the existing records and documentation to get a clear understanding of the circumstances related to the incident. If the case includes complicated medical or professional issues, we will collaborate with qualified experts who can then offer their insights.
Determining the Value of Your Case
Our attorneys will assess the losses associated with your injuries and determine what compensation may be available under California law. We will handle communications with liable parties, insurance companies, and opposing counsel so you do not have to deal with those conversations alone.
Resolving Your Case
We hope to reach a fair settlement through negotiation, but we will be ready to take your case to court if the other side refuses to do the right thing. Since every case has different facts and legal issues, we customize our approach to fit each client’s needs.
Providing Contingency Fee Representation
Seeking justice shouldn’t require going into debt. We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you do not pay attorney fees upfront. Instead, our firm receives an agreed-upon percentage of the compensation recovered for you. If there is no recovery, you do not owe attorney fees.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in San Francisco
Our practice in San Francisco is dedicated to victims of therapist abuse and nursing home abuse. Our attorneys and paralegals are trauma- and cognitive-interview trained at the Center for Hope. We will handle your case with the respect and dignity you deserve.
- San Francisco Therapy Abuse Lawyer: Mental health practitioners and licensed therapists might exploit a client’s trust and engage in inappropriate behavior.
- San Francisco Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer: Care facilities or caregivers can harm vulnerable residents through deliberate mistreatment or neglect.
A claim may often involve more than one party. For example, medical facilities can share liability when their employees engage in acts of abuse or neglect. We’ll look at the details of the injury and the records that can help us understand what happened.
Evidence that Proves a Case of Abuse or Neglect
Evidence can be particularly important in cases involving therapists, nursing facilities, and other institutions. Our San Francisco personal injury lawyers will look beyond the immediate incident to determine whether evidence reveals a larger pattern or helps establish responsibility.
- Medical and psychological treatment records help document the nature and impact of the injuries.
- Facility records and incident reports can provide important details about what occurred.
- Care plans and medication records may reveal problems with treatment or inadequate care.
- Staffing and scheduling information can help determine whether staffing issues contributed to the harm.
- Communications between the victim, facility, and responsible individuals can help establish what happened and who was involved.
- Witnesses can provide firsthand accounts that help corroborate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
- Qualified experts can offer opinions regarding the injuries, treatment, and professional standards that apply to the case.
The goal is to develop a clear, factual record and determine what damages are recoverable in a therapist abuse or nursing home abuse case under California law.

California Deadlines for Personal Injury and Abuse Claims
For many ordinary personal injury claims, California provides a two-year limitations period for an action involving injury or death caused by another person’s wrongful act or neglect. Different rules can apply when the claim involves alleged professional negligence by a health care provider.
Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 340.5, claims against a health care provider generally must be filed within one year after the plaintiff discovers (or should have discovered) the injury, but no more than three years from the date of injury, whichever occurs first.
Additional statutes may govern specific cases. Contacting our team early can make sure you meet the deadlines that apply to your case.
