Initial Case Review Is Complimentary; Our Fees Come Only From Your Settlement Or Jury Award

At Ellis Injury Law, we never take a fee upfront – we only take a contingency fee if we win.

When someone files a lawsuit, there can be a lot of costs involved. A case may involve court filing fees, expert witness expenses, record retrieval and copying costs, and of course personal injury attorney fees. When other lawyers are charging on an hourly basis, legal fees can easily rise to a substantial amount and are owed whether you win or lose. At Ellis Injury Law, we do not do this and instead take on the risk ourselves.

While results are never guaranteed, if you pursue your claim with the help of Ellis Injury Law, it is highly likely that you will see a recovery — we have a 99% success rate for cases we handle! Out of that recovery, a few things may be deducted:

  1. Instead of an ever-rising hourly fee, we retain a pre-agreed percentage of the recovery that we win on your behalf.
  2. If you have any Medicare or Medicaid liens for medical care received as a result of the injury, this will be paid back; we attempt to negotiate the lowest amount on your behalf to ensure you are fully compensated at the end of the day.
  3. Any litigation costs, such as for court filings and expert witness appearances, will be deducted.

When you or a family member are attempting to recovery from a serious injury, the last thing you need is to worry about where the money is coming from or going to. At Ellis Injury Law, we help you through this extremely challenging time so that you can focus on getting your life back on track.

What Kinds of Cases Does Ellis Injury Law Firm Handle?

At Ellis Injury Law, our attorneys work with a wide variety of cases, ranging from minor injuries, to catastrophic loss.

Any breach of duty that leads to someone else’s injury — from causing an auto accident because of careless driving, to intentionally harming someone — can lead to a personal injury claim. In these situations, the law recognizes that the victim may be entitled to compensation. We are ready and willing to handle these claims whether they involve catastrophic injuries or less severe impairments.

Put Our 99% Track Record of Success To Work for You — Choose Attorneys Who Have Won More Than $350 Million for Our Clients

There are no guarantees when it comes to personal injury litigation but there are track records that indicate expertise. Our attorneys have a 99% track record of success when we accept a client’s case. This translates to more than $350 million for clients, with the total continuing to rise.

At Ellis Injury Law, we understand what it takes to investigate a claim, fight aggressively, and see it through trial instead of settling for less than a fair verdict. From the woman who suffered a head injury after slipping on a substance at the movie theater, to the mother whose infant was harmed by delivery room tools during an emergency cesarean, to the man who sustained a series of lower body injuries after being struck by a speeding golf cart, to the family of a man who was fatally shot during a lovers’ quarrel, we have worked to earn our clients settlements or jury awards nearing or in excess of a million dollars.

Here are some examples of settlements we have won for our clients:

  • $4.1 Million – Exploding Propane Cylinder
  • $3 Million – Devastating Truck Accident
  • $1M – Hospital Error During C-Section
  • $1M – Negligence by care van driver that led to patient injury
  • $500,000 – Premises liability leading to lost career
  • $150,000 – Psychological damage suffered after prolonged entrapment in elevator

Sometimes a settlement is the best option for a client and his or her family. At other times, the only way to obtain fair compensation is to take the case to trial. The Ellis Injury Law team exercises due diligence to prepare a strong case that can withstand the scrutiny of trial, which also positions our clients for favorable settlements. Our passion, grit, and preparedness have made us the top law firm in Southern California.

Don’t Settle for Low-Ball Offers from the Insurance Companies – Andy Ellis Fights for Maximum Compensation

At Ellis Injury Law, we understand the hardship you have endured and will work hard to ensure due compensation is paid out. Our dedicated attorneys make sure you are not lured into taking a lowball offer from big corporations, insurers, or defendants who are quick to settle without acknowledging wrongdoing or providing fair compensation for your injuries.

To ensure the strongest cases possible for our clients, we work with a team of experts. Claims are put under a microscope by insurance companies and defense counsel, but Ellis Law ensures claims will withstand the scrutiny. We rely on top medical experts to prove the extent of injury, prognosis, and causal relation to the accident. We refer to biomechanical experts, accountants, and any other experts necessary to lay the foundation of a claim.

Injured? You May Be Entitled to Compensation for Medical Bills and More:

  • Concussion / Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Spine Damage
  • Quadriplegia
  • Paraplegia
  • Car Crash Whiplash
  • Back Injury
  • Amputation
  • Bones Broken
  • Serious Burns
  • Lacerations

There is often no crystal clear answer on liability when an injury is involved, especially when there are multiple responsible parties. In these complex cases, one party will point the finger at another party and that party at another party, all in an attempt to pass the blame. Through his years of experience and attention to detail, Andy Ellis is equipped to sort through the issues in these cases and hold those at fault responsible.

Insurance companies rely on plaintiffs backing down to avoid trial. With Ellis Injury Law, however, the insurance companies know they have a fight on their hands. Since Andy Ellis is always willing to take a case to trial – and has an extraordinary track record of wins – the insurance companies know they need to bring their maximum settlement to the table.

Our Car Accident Lawyers Are Ready To Take Your Call After a Crash

Motor vehicle accidents represent one of our busiest categories of litigation. California is one of the most dangerous states for driving in the U.S., with more than 3,000 fatalities and 10,000 injuries due to motor vehicle crashes each year. These wrecks negatively impact many people’s livelihood – their ability to walk, to work, and to provide for their families in any capacity. They are disabling, disfiguring, and expensive.

While some minor car accidents may seem routine, there are many complex auto accidents taking place on the Southern California roadways. To succeed on a claim, a plaintiff needs to be able to prove that the other parties – whether they are negligent drivers, vehicle or parts manufacturers, owners or lessees of tractor-trailors, or countless other potentially liable people or entities – breached a duty and in so doing, caused the injuries.

To help auto accident plaintiffs prove their claims, Ellis Injury Law works with a team of experts. We enlist witnesses to fill in the gaps for the judge and jury, including investigators to gather evidence, crash reconstructionists to explain scientifically what happened, and medical experts to help the fact-finder understand the physical impact.

How Much Money Will I Get From My Personal Injury Case?

There is never any guarantee when it comes to a settlement or verdict. There are, however, factors that impact how much a plaintiff may be entitled to recover.

The law recognizes the right of a victim to be made whole. This determination depends on the facts of the case, but it often includes:

  • Payment for past and future medical expenses, including rehabilitation
  • Lost wages
  • Costs for necessary in-home care
  • Payment for pain and suffering
  • Loss of companionship
  • In the case of wrongful death, funeral and burial costs

As seen in our results, we often win substantial awards for our clients. Call to speak with one of our attorneys to find out the potential value of your claim.

Is There a Statute of Limitations in CA for Personal Injury Cases?

California law limits the amount of time that a victim has to file a claim. The statute of limitations is two years from the date of the incident. In some special circumstances, the limitations period may be extended.

If you believe someone else may be legally responsible for your injury, it is crucial to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible because all claims are barred once the statute of limitations expires.

Personal Injury Lawsuit Timeline: What To Expect

There may be negotiations with insurance companies before a lawsuit, but a lawsuit does not begin until the plaintiff files a formal complaint in court. Once the complaint is filed, the lawsuit goes through certain phases:

  1. Pleadings – The parties file their responses, counter-claims, and claims against any other people or businesses that may be necessary to the case.
  2. Discovery – The parties exchange documents, written questions, and take depositions of parties and witnesses in order to build their cases.
  3. Motions – Parties may file motions requesting the judge to rule in their favor without a trial, limit the questions at issue in the case, or even to determine that some evidence may or may not be admissible.
  4. Pre-trial negotiation – Though there are often talks between the parties about settlement throughout the case, the court may order the parties to participate in mediation or settlement conferences.
  5. Trial – If settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, the parties head to trial to have a judge or jury determine who is at fault and how much compensation is due.

Having an experienced lawyer as an advocate is important at each of these stages because a mis-step early on can impact the strength and value of the case later on.
