Trial-Tested Representation When an Injury Changes Your Life
We are not "billboard lawyers" who rely on flashy advertising to attract clients. Instead, we are experienced personal injury lawyers in Orange County who have earned the trust and respect of our colleagues in the legal community. Other lawyers often refer their clients to us because they know that we have the skills, expertise, and determination to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.
Unlike other personal injury law firms or attorneys who may shy away from taking cases to trial, our firm has extensive trial experience and is not afraid to fight for our clients in the courtroom. We understand that insurance companies often try to offer inadequate compensation, and we are committed to maximizing our clients' recovery by taking cases to trial when necessary.
When another person or company causes a serious injury, you should not have to face the insurance company alone.

Why Injured People Choose Strongin, LLP
50+ Years of Combined Litigation Experience
Personal injury claims can turn on evidence, insurance coverage, medical documentation, expert testimony, and persuasive advocacy. Our attorneys understand how insurers investigate, value, delay, and defend claims. We prepare every case carefully and are ready to take a case to trial when a fair resolution cannot be reached.
Trial Lawyers, Not a Settlement Mill
Many claims resolve without a trial, but meaningful leverage often comes from being prepared to present the case to a jury. We investigate thoroughly, build the evidence, and remain ready for court when the at-fault party or insurer refuses to offer fair compensation.
Insurance-Coverage Knowledge
Finding the available sources of recovery can be as important as proving fault. Our insurance background helps us evaluate applicable policies, exclusions, coverage disputes, and other issues that may affect a claim.
Direct, Personal Representation
An injury is personal. We take the time to understand how it has affected your health, work, family, finances, and future. Our goal is to keep you informed while we handle the legal and insurance issues surrounding your claim so you can focus on getting better.
No Fee Unless We Win
We handle eligible personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. You pay no upfront attorneys’ fees, and we receive fees only if we obtain a recovery for you.
Do I Have a Personal Injury Claim?
A California personal injury claim generally requires evidence that another party owed you a legal duty, failed to act with reasonable care or otherwise violated that duty, and caused an injury that resulted in compensable losses. The exact requirements depend on the facts and legal theories involved.
A lawyer will typically evaluate questions such as:
-
Who caused or contributed to the incident?
-
What evidence supports fault and causation?
-
What injuries were diagnosed, and what treatment is expected?
-
How has the injury affected your work, daily activities, and future?
-
Which insurance policies or other sources of recovery may apply?
-
Are any filing or notice deadlines approaching?
Even if fault seems obvious, insurers may dispute how the incident happened, argue that a medical condition was preexisting, minimize treatment, or claim the injured person shares responsibility. Early legal review can help identify those issues before evidence disappears.
What Compensation May Be Available?
Compensation depends on the evidence, injury severity, fault, insurance coverage, and other facts. A claim may include medical expenses; future care; lost income; reduced earning capacity; property damage; retroactive rent abatement (return of back rent), statutory penalties; attorney’s fees; punitive damages for fraudulent, willful or intentional conduct; pain and suffering, disability, anxiety, emotional distress, interference, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. Wrongful-death claims may include funeral expenses, lost support, and the loss of companionship, care, and guidance.
There is no honest “average settlement” that predicts an individual outcome. Our attorneys document the claim and explain the factors that may strengthen or limit it.
What To Do After an Accident
The steps taken after an accident can affect both your health and your ability to document a claim.
-
Get appropriate medical care. Call 911 when necessary and follow the treatment instructions given by qualified providers.
-
Report the incident. Notify law enforcement, a property owner, an employer, or another appropriate party, depending on what happened.
-
Preserve evidence if it is safe to do so. Take photographs and video of the scene, hazards, vehicles, injuries, and surrounding conditions.
-
Collect identifying information. Obtain contact and insurance information from the people involved and contact details for witnesses.
-
Keep records. Save medical paperwork, bills, receipts, wage records, correspondence, photographs, and a record of how the injury affects daily life.
-
Be careful with insurance communications. Avoid guessing, minimizing injuries, signing a release, or accepting a settlement before understanding its consequences.
-
Speak with a lawyer promptly. Evidence can be lost, and California law imposes deadlines that vary by claim.
It was a tough fight. It was a long hard fight, and Eric did a great job arguing the case to a jury. He worked hard and was always thoughtful of what we were going through. Now thanks to Eric I don't have to go through the rest of my life being angry, and the Bicycle Club was found responsible for my brother's death.

Found Eric Strongin through Avvo.com. Could not have been more impressed.
Seriously, this lawyer is impressive. I posted a question on Avvo and Eric Strongin wrote me back over the weekend. He included his phone number in the response with an invite to call him. We talked on a Saturday. Eric Strongin got my business insurance company to cover the claim they had denied coverage on. After that, he represented me to the successful conclusion of the case. Mr. Strongin is tenacious, intelligent, knowledgeable and extremely personable. Choosing him was one of the smarter business choices I have made. :)
