Our Services

Contingency Fees

We take cases on a contingency fee basis. While your case is ongoing, we cover the costs of fighting for you—including the costs of filing a lawsuit, performing any needed investigations, and, if necessary, going to trial.

After your case has been resolved, we obtain a percentage of the result we secured for you. If we are not successful, you will not be responsible for the money we advanced, and you will not owe us attorneys’ fees.

Wrongful Death

The unexpected death of a loved one is always hard, and when it is the result of another person’s negligence or misconduct, it is devastating. Schaff Law Group’s personal injury attorneys understand the impact that the loss of loved one can have, the loss of income, the loss of time, the loss of love. We understand that money cannot bring your loved one back, but justice can bring you peace.

Catastrophic Injury

The most serious injuries have the most serious impact on a person’s life, the ability to earn an income or contribute to their family. Our personal injury attorneys understand how medical bills, loss of income, and the loss of the ability to provide for your family can have a ripple effect across generations. Schaff Law Group is experienced in bringing justice and substantial compensation to those who have been seriously injured by another person’s negligence.

Car and Trucking Accidents

Every year hundreds of thousands of individuals suffer serious injuries as the result of another person’s reckless or negligent driving (NHTSA 2021). California is often the leader in fatalities and collisions due to the large population and heavy reliance of vehicle transportation. Our personal injury attorneys aggressively pursue the individuals responsible for these injuries and their insurance companies during the entire process of recovery.

Prescription Drug Errors

Prescription errors are one of the most common types of medical negligence (New York Times 2020). Prescription errors can cause death, hospitalization, disability, or birth defects. Whether in occurs at a large retail pharmacy like CVS, Rite Aid, or Walgreens, or the result of a doctor’s mistake, prescription errors can have life-changing consequences. Our personal injury attorneys understand the medicine and the impact that prescription drug errors have on our clients and the process to help them recover.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

A brain injury is unlike most other traumatic injuries; brain injuries are invisible to the untrained eye. On the exterior, a victim of traumatic brain injury can appear to be a normal functioning individual. But, on the inside, they are often confused, emotional, or depressed. We work with trusted medical providers throughout Northern California to understand your condition and help you recover physically and financially.
