Understanding Personal Injury Law

In the United States personal injury claims are governed by state tort law. Victims may pursue compensation through insurance claims or civil lawsuits. Lawyers investigate accidents gather medical records interview witnesses and negotiate with insurance companies. Because insurers often attempt to minimize payouts, legal representation can significantly improve the chances of obtaining fair compensation.

Firm: Stralen Law, PC

I graduated with honors from California Western School of Law in San Diego, California. Since graduating in 1994, I have handled personal injury cases since I became an attorney in 1994. The cases I have handled in the past that I am the most proud of are the ones which have resulted in change for the public good, such as employment cases where the defendant has changed policy to the benefit of the employees, and injury cases where the defendant adopts a new safety policy as a result of my client’s case.. I am a member of the Sacramento Bar Association, the Capital City Trial Lawyers Association, and the Consumer Attorneys of California (State Trial Lawyers Association). I have served on my church parish’s pastoral council, my kids’ schools Advisory Commission, and I am currently a member of the school facility subcommittee on safety.  I like to support youth programs.  I coached a competitive girls’ soccer team for several years, and I am a certified soccer and futsal referee.  My brother and I founded the Elk Grove Futsal Club, a non-profit indoor youth soccer league, which has provided an indoor-style youth soccer program to children in the Sacramento area on a non-profit basis during the winter season since 2006.

I am the oldest of three boys born to immigrant parents that came to this country to give their boys a better life.  They were blue collar laborers.  Through their hard work they made my profession possible.  I never forget where I have come from and it drives me to fight for people who have been injured. The wonderful thing about the law is that the rules apply equally to everybody.  All you need is someone who is willing to fight for you. I am good at what I do because I am passionate about what I do.  I like fighting for the little person and making a difference in their lives. I like being a man of my word and instill that in my children.  Above all else I hate losing and obsess about winning.

The first time I stepped in front of a jury, I knew I'd found my calling.  I'm a trial lawyer. I try cases because I enjoy helping ordinary people who have been hurt or wronged by another person, a product, or a corporation. I truly care about my clients and their cause, and I welcome the opportunity to hear about your case.. I've been fortunate to win many trials early in my career, and it's through those successes that I have leverage to negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of my clients before we decide to go to trial.  Most people, including some lawyers, don't understand that without a track record of wins at trial, a lawyer has no stock-in-trade to negotiate settlements or truly understand the value of a case.  In an age where most attorneys rarely see the inside of the courtroom, I am in a rather unique position in this regard.  Please feel free to contact me to discuss your case.

During the course of litigation, clients deserve a lot of attention.  They need help, they need money, they need to know what is going on with the case, they need assurance that they will get their day in court quickly, they need justice, they need to know the strength and the weakness of the case , they need to hear a warm, kind, and at the same time, strong voice speaking on their behalf, and they need to know their lawyer is an experienced fighter with a proven track record.  I have personally witnessed how in "large" firms, a client is yet another "case" and how their lawyers rarely return the client's call or inform the client of the status of the cases, and how cases take forever to resolve.  This is not how I run my office.  I am devoted to my clients.  I enjoy being a lawyer.  I develop a special human bond with my clients.  I try to become the voice of hope during a difficult period.  And, I am committed to recover the maximum amount of money possible to compensate my clients and their families for their injuries and losses.
