When products don’t work like they are designed or advertised, the consequences can be serious.

  • Vaginal mesh

At the Cartwright Law Firm, we have decades of experience in (Santa Rosa Accident Law Firm) advocating for clients who have been injured by faulty products. We can evaluate your situation and help you determine the best course of action for your individual case.

Frequently Asked Questions

ask our attorney
If you or someone close to you has suffered a personal injury, loss of life or financial loss due to the negligence of another person, or if you believe your rights were violated in a place of employment, then you may possibly have a case. You should seek out the representation of a qualified, experienced law firm that can assist you. (See “Cases We Handle” above.)
There exists time limits, called a "statute of limitations". These statute of limitations could be something to be aware of, depending on the type of case you have. Failure to file your claim within these time limits is fatal to a case. This means that once this time limit passes, you can no longer bring a case before a court. That means the party responsible for your injuries will never pay you what you deserve. The statute of limitations in most personal injury cases is two years. In cases where the defendant is a public entity (e.g. city, county, or state), the time limit is six months. In many other cases the limit is only one year. It is therefore very important that you contact a qualified, experienced attorney immediately to represent you in filing your claim in a timely manner.
Your insurance company: Be cooperative and provide them the information they request in a timely manner. They should be on your side and should assist you in your claim for medical expenses and property damage. Opposing party’s insurance company: You take a serious risk in speaking to the other party’s insurance company on your own behalf. Remember, that they record all calls. That means, they will take whatever you say and twist it into their favor. They do this for a living and are very good at it. We deal with insurance companies every day. We know the tricks of the trade. Therefore, it is very important to have a qualified, experienced attorney on your side to be your spokesperson in negotiations with the other party’s insurance company.
Most personal injury firms, including ours, provide a free evaluation of your case and work on what is known as a contingent fee basis. This means that until we win, through settlement or at trial, you pay nothing for our services or our out-of-pocket expenses. Payment to the us is therefore “contingent” upon the outcome of the case. Virtually all personal injury firms charge a percentage of the amount recovered ranging from 25% to 50% depending on the firm and the type of case. The law firm you hire makes a huge difference. In the end, the most important number with is the total amount recovered on your behalf. Retain the best attorney you can to achieve the best results!
