The PARRIS Track Record of Victory
When you’re choosing an attorney to represent you after a car accident, their track record matters. You deserve an advocate you can trust completely, who will fight tooth and nail for you and your family.
At PARRIS, our track record speaks for itself. Here are some of our clients’ stories:
- One PARRIS client was driving his pickup in the desert when a distracted driver ran a stop sign, causing a T-bone accident. The pickup rolled over multiple times before skidding to a stop on its side, leaving our client with severe neck and back injuries. Though his injuries will require medical care for the rest of his life, the at-fault driver’s insurance company refused to cooperate with our investigation and adequately compensate our client. We fought the case all the way to trial, eventually securing a $120 million jury verdict on his behalf.
- Two brothers suffered catastrophic injuries when a negligent semi-truck driver struck their vehicle head-on on a California highway. They were driving through a construction zone when the truck driver drifted out of his lane, hitting our clients at 55 mph. Though the trucking company tried to avoid paying the compensation the brothers deserved, PARRIS fought fearlessly for them, eventually securing a $55.6 million jury verdict on their behalf.
- A motorcyclist was riding along Highway 138 in Pinon Hills, CA when a car made a left turn in front of him, causing a catastrophic motorcycle accident. The man received a horrific brain injury that left him bedridden and ventilator-dependent for the rest of his life. Despite this, the at-fault driver’s insurance company acted in bad faith, refusing to accept settlement offers on time. After fiercely fighting for our client, the insurance company eventually settled out of court for $15 million. Additionally, Caltrans was found partially at fault for the accident: 10 accidents had taken place at this very intersection before this event, yet Caltrans took no action to make the intersection safer. After fighting for our client in trial, the jury awarded our client $31.5 million.

No Fees Until We Win
At the PARRIS Law Firm, we work on contingency, which means you pay nothing until we win. We only collect legal fees as a percentage of the victory we secure for you. If we are unsuccessful, you pay nothing.
We’ve found that this fee model gives clients peace of mind: you focus on your physical and emotional recovery while we focus on protecting your rights.
Following a car accident, it’s perfectly natural to want to settle your case as quickly and easily as possible. But sometimes settling a claim quickly does not result in the best outcome for you and your family. See, when you are involved in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, you could be compensated by the at-fault driver’s insurance company. An adjuster will usually make you an offer in the days, weeks, or months following the incident. But here’s the catch. That settlement offer is oftentimes not enough to cover the true cost of your recovery. An insurance company focuses on reducing the amount it pays out in claims to boost profits. When their insured is responsible for your injuries, the insurance company may act deceitfully—that is, in bad faith—to reduce the amount they pay you. Some of their tactics may include offering you an absurdly low settlement very quickly, unreasonably delaying your claim, or denying it outright. Unfortunately, we’ve seen firsthand how insurance companies can use these bad faith tactics to take advantage of unrepresented claimants. Hiring an attorney who knows the industry is the best way to protect your rights. PARRIS has been fighting insurance companies on behalf of clients for nearly four decades. Our firm has the resources, experience, and determination to fight for you—and win.
When we pursue a case against a negligent driver, there are certain injuries for which we try to recover the costs. Some of these injuries are immediate and obvious, while others may take time to develop.
Here are the types of damages that you can recover for under California law:
- Medical bills, including hospital visits, prescriptions, and specialists;
- Property damage;
- Lost wages, including future lost wages and loss of earning capacity;
- Pain and suffering from your injuries or life circumstances after your accident; and
- Loss of companionship for your loved ones (legally referred to as “loss of consortium”), among other forms of recovery.
When you are injured, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, the earlier you contact PARRIS, the better we’ll be able to protect your rights.
Don’t wait to seek justice. The attorneys are PARRIS Law Firm will fight to restore balance to your family.
The cases we take on at the PARRIS Law Firm involve negligence on the part of another driver. When a car accident is not your fault, you may be able to collect payment from the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
When a settlement offer is insufficient, this is where the PARRIS firm steps in to argue for a higher amount or take the case to trial.
Failing to uphold a duty to operate a motor vehicle in a safe and responsible manner is referred to as negligence. When drivers are negligent, innocent people like you suffer.
Here are the types of accident victims the PARRIS Law Firm represents in the event their accidents involved negligence on the part of another driver:
- Motorcycle accidents
- Car accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Big rig truck collisions
- Car accidents involving people on the job
- Drunk driving accidents
- Crashes caused by car defects
- Accidents involving dangerous road conditions
When you’ve been injured in an accident, your life may be knocked entirely off-course. Your injuries may force you to miss work, which reduces your means to pay for the medical treatment you need after your accident. On top of this, the collision may leave you emotionally traumatized, which may affect your ability to return to life before the accident.
In these situations, a legal advocate can be an invaluable resource to help you restore balance to your family and your life. This is why PARRIS Law Firm works to protect the rights of the innocent.
Since we first opened our doors in 1985, our firm has represented thousands of accident victims in California. Our clients trust us to get the results they need, and we do not let them down. Since our founding, we’ve developed a 99% success rate and won over $1.9 billion for clients.
We never represent insurance companies, corporations, or government entities—our work is for the individual workers and families who suffer at the hands of negligent actors. Each case receives the careful attention and care it deserves so that you see the outcome you need to recover.
