Callahan & Blaine, California’s premier litigation firm, has been widely recognized by legal publications and in the mainstream media as one of the premier catastrophic personal injury firms in Orange County, California and in the United States. In the last five years alone the firm has obtained over $1.2 billion in verdicts and settlements for their clients.
Daniel J. Callahan, the firm’s founding partner, recently opened up about his firm’s winning process. According to Callahan, “our attorneys have pioneered a unique, winning approach to personal injury cases. What’s our secret? We handle each case as though it were a complex business litigation case, attacking it from every possible angle.”
“There’s no doubt that we’re aggressive, and whether we’re identifying issues and tactics, finding evidence, preparing motions or cross-examining witnesses, our approach is persistent, thorough and relentless. We call it Our Will to Win.”
This unique approach is what led to firm to negotiating the largest personal injury settlement in United States history – $50 million. It was won in a road design case against the City of Dana Point on behalf of two women who were rendered quadriplegic when they were struck by a motorist while jogging in a bike lane.
This case was actually turned down by other attorneys who believed it wasn’t worth their time because the driver who hit the ladies was unemployed and intoxicated. It was Daniel Callahan and his firm’s unique approach that uncovered the winning angle to the case.
