We’re Your Actual Neighbors…
We're not bill-board, bus stop lawyers. We actually live here. Our kids go or went to school here. We vote and shop here. You may already know us through our community involvement, your neighbor's recommendation, or just just standing in line at Three Forks Bakery on Saturday morning waiting for baked goods coming out of the oven and hoping for a table.
We Represent Nevada City Injury Victims…Never the Insurance Company
Unlike some local lawyers who represent insurance companies or do criminal defense… we are 100% focused on helping injury victims
We know you have many choices in selecting a personal injury law firm – if you are looking for the attorney that spends the most on paid sponsored ads; or the law firm that splits their time between representing insurance companies and injury victims; or the lawyer who does mostly criminal defense we’re probably not the best lawyer for you.
But if you are looking for the law firm that fights with the most passion for its clients, that specializes in 100% personal injury for victims and never represents insurance companies- then you need to look no further. At Phillips Personal Injury, we are committed to obtaining full and fair compensation on behalf of our clients.
Phillips Personal Injury is centered around you and your story, with a focus on providing personalized service throughout your recovery process. Simply put, you deserve better than a one-size-fits-all solution of some injury lawyers. So if if you are looking for the injury law firm that fights to make sure the insurance company doesn’t pull one over on so you get what you and your family deserves and a down-to-earth attorney who listens and truly cares. Then you need to look no further. We look forward to talking with you.
Our Specialty is Road and Highway Safety Litigation…
Over the years, we have learned there is no such thing as a “generic” vehicle collision, as every type of vehicle crash and injury will have unique rules of fault and mechanics of injury.
If the collision involved a big-rig or bus, there are federal laws, in addition to state laws, which must be considered, so it is important to find a road and highway injury attorney familiar with each type of claim.
Also, almost every vehicle collision involves one or more insurance companies: car insurance, health insurance and third party liability insurance. Coverage issues and exclusions can be very important in road and highway litigation to maximize your recovery.

How Were You Injured?
At Phillips Personal Injury, we focus only on representing individuals and families in injury claims and litigation. We have been advocating for Nevada City injury victims and their families for many years, and are ready to help you obtain “full and fair” compensation you need and deserve.
At your first meeting with us, we will take the time to listen to your story and understand how your life has been impacted. We will provide clear explanations as to how the law affects you and will help you understand your right to compensation through the insurance companies. We will also provide honest feedback about the merits of your claim and what realistic recovery might look like.
We can help you no matter how you have been injured and what type of accident you were involved in. Our clients include people who have suffered severe and life-changing injuries and we’re here to help.
What Type of Injury Do You Have?
It’s not just about the law. Having a personal injury lawyer who is well versed and familiar with your particular injury is critical. Different injuries may require different consideration under personal injury law and can impact your full and fair recovery.
In the midst of seeking medical care and trying to understand the injuries you’ve sustained in an accident, contacting a lawyer may seem like an unnecessary step. But a lawyer can help guide you through the process and be your advocate. A major part of this is demonstrating the severity of your injuries. We will create the strongest case possible by gathering evidence right from the start. Getting prompt medical care is essential, as it documents the severity of your injuries immediately after the injury. You must attend all scheduled and recommended appointments. Your medical records are a critical piece of evidence.
Hiring an attorney isn’t an attempt to game the system or get more than you’re entitled to, despite how the media treats injury victims. It’s simply a way to ensure that profit-centered insurance companies treat victims fairly.
