AVVO Rated "10" Superb & "Clients' Choice" / Better Business Bureau A+ Rating
If you or a loved one has been harmed by the negligent or reckless act of another, your life may be forever changed. Unfortunately, after suffering a serious injury, you will likely face physical, emotional, and financial challenges. It is critical that you are represented by an attorney who genuinely cares about you and your future, and who is personally dedicated to pursuing full and fair damages.
We established our law firm built around providing a far superior client experience. At Phillips Personal Injury, we only take on a limited number of cases, allowing us to provide ongoing, personalized legal service. We are not your average, everyday personal injury law firm, or one of the large, impersonal law firms you see advertised on TV.
Why You Need an Oroville Personal Injury Lawyer
Lets be real, insurance companies are not on your side. The less money they hand you, the more money they make. If an adjuster betrays your trust, if they shortchange you, if they “low-ball” your settlement, they don't get reprimanded. They get rewarded.
No matter what the commercials say, and no matter how endearing the adjuster on the phone may appear, it is their job to shortchange you. I've never met an adjuster or insurance defense lawyer who wears a white apron and a name tag. There is no such device as a "name your price tool." Their real tools are weapons: databases, delay tactics, lies & confusion.
At Phillips Personal Injury we’re on your side and unlike insurance companies, we treat our clients like family not claim numbers. We are experienced and knowledgeable in fighting for our clients injured because of no fault of their own. Right from the start we will review the details of your injuries and discuss your legal options free of charge. When you retain us, we will put our attorneys, investigators and medical experts to work to understand how the accident occurred and the full extent of your injuries. We will fight hard for maximum compensation for your injuries, for full and fair compensation.
At the Phillips Personal Injury, we handle personal injury claims on a contingent fee basis. That means there is no upfront cost to you unless we win your case by settlement or jury verdict. We are aggressive and proactive, preparing each case as if it were going to trial. This gives us the best opportunity to obtain full and fair compensation. Call us today at 530-265-0186 to learn how we may help you and your family.
We are proud of our law firm’s record of seeking justice for Californians who have been injured through no fault of their own. We represent clients in the Sierra Foothills, greater Sacramento area and throughout Northern California including Oroville.

Types of Claims Our Oroville Injury Lawyer Handles
At Phillips Personal Injury law firm, we primarily handle the following types of claims:
Oroville Car Accidents:
It happens in a flash: You're driving home from work, thinking about the day and what's for dinner. The light turns red. You stop. Suddenly, you hear the crunch of steel as your neck is jerked violently back and forth. The driver behind you has rear ended you. It's not your fault, but now you have yet another item on your busy agenda to handle. What should you do?
Oroville Drunk Driver Victim:
While drunk drivers face serious criminal charges such as jail time, loss of driver's license, fines, and criminal restitution, they can also face civil liability if they are sued by their victims. If you or a loved one is injured or killed by a drunk driver, a civil suit for damages may be your best path to fully recover for your losses.
Oroville Uber Lyft Accident Lawyer:
Ride-sharing services, such as Lyft and Uber, have provided people with a convenient, economical way to get around. Technology makes it possible to easily connect with a ride-share driver through an app on your phone. Like other motorists, ride-share drivers can be involved in vehicle accidents as they are driving for longer hours and may be distracted by their phone.
Oroville Dog Attack Lawyer:
It’s not uncommon for people to hesitate before deciding to call an injury lawyer after being bitten by a dog. Maybe they don’t know if their injuries are serious enough, or maybe worries about their relationship with the animal owner who happens to be a neighbor. But speaking to a dog bite attorney can help you evaluate your options and understand your rights.
Oroville Trip and Fall Lawyer:
"Slip and Fall" or "Trip and Fall " is a term used for a personal injury case in which a person slips or trips and is injured on someone else's property for any number of reasons. Legally, these accidents are known as "premises liability" claims. If the injury occurs on property owned and/or maintained by the government, then it involves what is called a government tort claim and special rules apply.
Oroville Disc Herniation Lawyer:
Unfortunately, a lot of personal injury lawyers settle these types of cases for far less than they should, buying in to the insurance refrain it’s “only a sprain strain”! At Phillips Personal Injury, we have the knowledge, and fight hard to make sure our clients receive full and fair compensation for their back injury.
Oroville “whiplash” Cervical Injury Lawyer:
In technical terms, whiplash refers to the sudden transfer of energy that causes the structures of your neck to abruptly straighten and bend beyond their normal range of motion, potentially resulting in an injury. A car accident is the most common scenario, but it's not the only one. Many kinds of falls, the jerking movement of amusement park rides, and blows to the face can also create the whiplash motion and its related injuries.
Oroville Brain Injury TBI Lawyer:
Every year, thousands of people suffer brain injuries as a result of motor vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, work accidents, truck accidents and other serious accidents. The impact of such injuries can be devastating. In cases involving traumatic brain injuries, accident victims may suffer permanent impairment that can affect memory, work capacity, enjoyment of daily life activities and emotional well-being. Traumatic brain injury, also called brain injury or head injury, occurs when a blow or jolt to the head results in damage to the brain.
Oroville Wrongful Death Lawyer:
Before saying anything else, we want you to know that our hearts go out to you and your entire family in the midst of this profoundly painful and distressing situation. We can imagine that you are experiencing a wide range of conflicting emotions right now. We want you to know that we care deeply about your situation and are here to help you in any way we can. While no amount of financial payment can ever compensate for the loss of a loved one, being financially secure in the family's future and the comfort of responsible parties being brought to justice can provide a sense of closure and security to survivors.
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 Northern California 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 Oroville injury 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.
