Catastrophic Injuries and Wrongful Death

Has a Catastrophic Injury or Death of a Loved One Changed Your Life?

When a life-changing injury or death happens in a family, it has a full impact on everyone. From loss of emotional support and care to the very harsh realities of medical costs and loss of earnings, the injury victim won't be the only one affected.

Our team of trial attorneys and office staff know you need more than just a fair settlement from your lawyer.

If you can't come to us, we will arrange an opportunity to meet with you at a time and place that is most convenient for your family. If you retain us to represent you in your lawsuit, we may handle the case on contingency, in which case you won't pay attorneys fees unless we help you recover compensation.

We have experience representing clients in all cases involving catastrophic injury and wrongful death, including:

• Motor vehicle accident claims
• Serious head injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI)

• Amputation, loss of limb

Catastrophic Injury Cases Are Often Complex

Catastrophic injury claims require proof that the injury is life-changing and was the direct result of the accident and negligence of another party. Our law firm works with independent experts and medical specialists to investigate the case and present the strongest case possible for court, if a trial becomes necessary. We use the latest presentation technology available to law firms to present strong evidence the jury, judges and the opposing lawyers will understand.

 A Peer Review of Mr. Edward A. Fernandez's Mediation Services by Filippo Marchino, Esq.:

"What most know is that Mr. Fernandez is a member of the panel for the Redlands Arbitration and Mediation Services, as well as the Inland Valley Justice Center. What most don't know is that Mr. Fernandez spent 5 months resolving a case that nobody (not even the parties) believed could actually be resolved short of a trial on the merits. In a case of complex construction defect, involving complex and detailed matters, Mr. Fernandez skillfully navigated each and every matter, resulting is a win-win situation for both parties, one of which I represented. Can't honestly say how appreciative of his hard work we all are. Hence, it is with no hesitation that I fully endorse Mr. Fernandez!"

A recent client review for Mr. Edward A. Fernandez:

As a principle of ClaimQuest, Inc., a Third Party Administration company, it is my duty to obtain the best legal counsel possible for me clients. It is important to note that my decision on counsel directly reflects on me and my company. My clients and I do not want excuses, we seek cost effective results. Mr Fernandez, his law firm, and associates have a long and proven track record for achieving positive cost effective results many of his peers only talk about.

Mr. Fernandez demonstrates excellent legal skills which are a great asset but it is not the only talent you should seek from your legal council. In addition, he also has a reputation of being a hard, yet fair negotiator which has earned him the respect of his peers and the courts. This blend of rare talents has given Mr. Fernandez the opportunity to obtain the most favorable results while significantly reducing needless time consuming litigation costs in many cases.

In my 30 years of being in this business I have never given my endorsement to any attorneys' before Mr. Fernandez, I can say with confidence that Mr. Fernandez has set the standard for our office and many other associates I do business with.
