Since 1966, the firm has successfully represented the victims and survivors of serious and catastrophic accidents. The firm has a documented track record of settlements and verdicts obtained on behalf of their clients. While the firm?s offices are located in San Jose, California, the firm practices throughout the state and over the years has also represented individuals and families in the states of Nevada, Washington, and Utah. In 1995 the firm represented a family of a United States Air Force Colonel regarding a head-on motor vehicle accident in Spain and currently represents a United States Army Pilot injured in a motor vehicle accident while on leave in Germany.
Shea & Shea uses a pure contingency fee contract. This means that unless there is a recovery, there is no charge to the client. Shea & Shea will advance all litigation costs necessary to full prepare and prosecute the case. These costs include consultant and expert witness fees, depositions, "day in the life films," filing fees and all other expenses. This process allows the injured party to "stand on the same ground" as major corporations, product manufactures and other parties legally responsible for the injuries and damages suffered by the victim and their families.
