The Law Offices of John D. Winer specializes in catastrophic physical,
psychological injury cases and wrongful death cases. For cases in which the
firm specializes and focuses its practice please visit the Practice Areas page.
The law firm has received excellent results in all types of serious personal injury and wrongful death cases such as car accidents, construction accidents, toxic tort, product liability and medical malpractice cases. The firm handles a significant number of catastrophic injury, traumatic brain injury, elder abuse, sexual abuse and harassment, post traumatic stress disorder and psychotherapist abuse cases. We have obtained verdicts and settlements totalling more than $90,000,000 for our clients including some record breaking settlement and verdicts in the State of California.
The law firm handles cases on a contingency fee basis, if there is no recovery, there is no fee. All consultations are free.
The law firm has on full time staff an exceptional forensic nurse, Marilyn Mason, who is able to help the lawyers sort out and litigate complex medical issues. This gives the firm a competitive advantage over almost all personal injury and malpractice firms who do not have anyone on staff with medical training. Ms. Mason is recognized as one of the national leaders in her field of legal nursing and adds a lot to the law firms ability to litigate cases with serious, yet complex medical issues.
Because of Mr. Winer's reputation in the legal community as one of the leading attorneys in California in psychological injury
and serious personal injury cases, most of the cases handled by the law firm come from referrals from other personal injury lawyers who do not specialize in handling the very serious personal injury, wrongful death, malpractice, product failure, abuse and sexual harassment and other cases in which Mr. Winer has received exceptional results. See Significant Cases page.
Mr. Winer explains "Because we are selective in the cases that we handle, we can give each case the special attention
that it deserves. We only accept cases when we believe that the plaintiff will be better off after the litigation than they
are before they attempt to seek redress for their injuries. We attempt to not only obtain the best financial result that we
can for the client, but also attempt to help people become empowered through the litigation process. Because of our
reputation, we are sometimes able to settle cases without extensive litigation and without exposing our clients to the
trauma of litigation. If a case does have to be litigated, we pursue it aggressively."
"Finding the right lawyer is difficult without specific information about the background and experience and successes
of a law firm. We welcome you to examine the other areas of this web site to learn more about our firm and our outstanding
results in other cases."
