Case Results — HellaHurt Personal Injury Lawyers
HellaHurt's attorneys have recovered significant compensation for injured clients across California and Guam. Every case is different — results depend on the specific facts, injuries, and circumstances. The following are representative examples of the types of results our attorneys have achieved.
Our Track Record
Our attorneys — Morgan D. Ross (CA Bar #270650, licensed in California and Guam) and Robert B. Salgado (CA Bar #297391, licensed in California) — have handled hundreds of personal injury cases across California and Guam. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means our success is directly tied to yours. We only get paid when you win.
Personal injury cases we handle include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall, dog bites, bicycle accidents, pedestrian injuries, workplace injuries, wrongful death, brain injuries, and burn injuries.
What Affects Your Case Value
- Medical bills: Past and future medical expenses are the foundation of any personal injury claim. Keep all records.
- Lost wages: Time off work, reduced earning capacity, and future lost income are all compensable.
- Pain and suffering: California allows recovery for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Liability: Clear liability means higher settlements. California's pure comparative fault rule allows recovery even if you were partially at fault.
- Insurance coverage: The at-fault party's policy limits affect the maximum available recovery. Underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage can bridge the gap.
- Evidence quality: Police reports, witness statements, photos, and medical records all strengthen your case.
