Practice Areas Overview
Based in San Jose, the experienced attorneys at Needham, Kepner, Fish & Jones handle serious personal injury and wrongful death cases, with a particular focus on bicycle and scooter accidents. We also possess a wealth of experience in a variety of business litigation matters.
Personal Injury
We understand the devastating impact that an injury can have on you and your family, and truly care about helping you recover for the damages you have suffered. We handle personal injury claims arising from a range of incidents, including:
- Bicycle and scooter accidents
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Trucking accidents
- Construction site accidents
- Defective products
- Premises liability/slip and fall accidents
- Animal bites
Our experience also encompasses complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, as well as wrongful deaths.
Toxic Torts
Some of the most devastating injuries and illnesses can be caused by contamination of air, groundwater, and soil, or the use of construction products containing asbestos. Toxic torts are unique from other personal injury matters, not only because the subject matter is often highly technical, but also because cases involving environmental contamination are governed by unique legal restrictions and time limitations. Our attorneys have handled numerous toxic tort cases, including a recent mass tort where we represented nearly 200 employees of the Salinas County courthouse who had suffered serious affects and respiratory problems due to asbestos exposure.
Elder Abuse
Physical and financial abuse of elders is unfortunately common throughout the United States. This problem is compounded by the fact that many elders are in poor physical or mental health and consequently are unable to communicate the abuse. If you have noticed an unexplained change in the physical or emotional state of a loved one residing in an elder care facility, abuse might be the cause. Our attorneys will work to perform an in-depth investigation, ensure that the abuse is stopped, and recover any damages your loved one has sustained.
Business Litigation
Outside of our personal injury practice, we have extensive experience representing small and large businesses in a variety of commercial disputes, including real estate, construction litigation, breach of contract, and trade secret theft matters.
