California Legal Practice
Employment — Personal Injury
At The Law Offices of Hinton Alfert Sumner & Kaufmann, our California attorneys provide experienced, skilled and caring representation to clients who have been catastrophically injured or seriously harmed by the actions of another. We are plaintiffs' lawyers, representing organizations and businesses seeking redress for the damages they suffered. In each area of our practice, we are dedicated to providing clients with the best possible representation, drawing upon our lawyers' many years of experience and the extensive resources of the firm.
Legal Practice Focused on Helping the Seriously Injured
Injuries are not exclusively physical — they can be mental, financial or emotional. Our lawyers advocate for people who have suffered catastrophic injuries or serious harm because of another's conduct.
Our cases include personal injury matters such as:
- Truck and car accidents
- Defective or unsafe products
- Motorcycle and bicycle accidents
- Dangerous property or premises
- Unsafe highways and streets
- Exposure to toxic substances
- Fires and explosions
- Construction accidents
- Abuse of the elderly
The personal injury lawyers at our firm seek meaningful compensation for clients injured in circumstances such as these through litigation and settlement. People come to us with a wide range of catastrophic injuries, including amputations, paralysis, traumatic brain injury and serious burns. Some have experienced loss from the death of a family member. Others have suffered loss from major disasters such as the Oakland Hills fire, industrial fires and explosions, and the collapse of the Cypress Freeway.
We handle employment law matters for individuals who have been seriously wronged by their employers. We also develop class actions for employees in industries such as insurance, retail, hospitality and grocery industries. Our cases involve:
- Minimum wage and overtime
- Unpaid expenses, wages, and vacation
- Contractor misclassification
- Discrimination, termination, and retaliation
Our goal is to ensure that employees are treated fairly and in accordance with local, state and federal employment laws.
We also undertake cases involving legal malpractice on behalf of clients injured by the poor representation or unethical behavior provided by another lawyer.
