"What we do is about making society a safer place and saving lives. It's not solely about the money, which greatly contributes to repairing the lives of our clients," says Brian Chase. "We accomplish this by holding wrongdoers accountable for their negligence and assisting their victims in putting their lives back together," adds John Bisnar, who has been representing accident victims since 1978.
BISNAR | CHASE, LLP is one of California's Premier Personal Injury law firms and is headquartered in Newport Beach. Managing Partners, John Bisnar and Brian Chase are expert personal injury attorneys and have consistently achieved multi-million dollar results for their clients.
The past year has been filled with achievements. BISNAR | CHASE recovered a substantial, confidential, amount from Ford Motor Company for their use of faulty seat belts in their vehicles, which resulted in paralysis and, ultimately, the death of a young girl. BISNAR | CHASE is seeking a recall of the faulty seat belts. For more about this case and faulty seat belts see www.seatbeltlaw.com.
In December 2000 the firm recovered $2.5 million from the State of California, on behalf of a young mother who was paralyzed as the result of a dangerous condition in a State park. After the settlement the State corrected the dangerous condition and has hopefully hightened it's compliance with their own safety guidelines. The woman's former attorneys, after months of representation, told her she had no case.
"By holding wrongdoers accountable for the harm they cause, we create an economic incentive for people and companies to operate in a safe and prudent manner. Personal Injury Attorneys, who operate with this philosophy, are the great equalizers of our society." John Bisnar
BISNAR | CHASE have represented many clients, mostly children, who have been victims of vicious dog attacks. In order to assist the public with more information on this growing danger and what to do in case of an animal attack, see www.aboutdogbites.com.
The firm recovered nearly $3 million for a man severely burned while on the job, which resulted in safety changes by the defendant. They recovered over $2 million for another man who was seriously injured on the job, after his previous attorney advised him his maximum recovery would be $15,000.00. In 1999 BISNAR | CHASE fought an injury case all the way to the Supreme Court. After the Supreme Court heard Mr. Chase's arguments, the Court adopted his position as the law in California.
Based on the firm's excellent reputation in the legal community, many of their cases are referred by other lawyers. BISNAR | CHASE takes pride in being the Personal Injury Department of many lawyers who practice other areas of law or do not have the resources or legal expertise to handle serious and catastrophic injury cases.
To provide the best legal representation to their clients, BISNAR | CHASE limits the types and number of cases it accepts. Representation is limited to injury accidents and insurance bad faith claims, including auto, traffic and aircraft accidents, nursing home negligence/abuse, dog bites, defective products, premise liability, failure to warn and on-the-job injuries.
"I specifically went to law school to become a personal injury trial attorney. It is what I love, what I do, and what I am." - Brian Chase
