If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident or other incident, suffered an injury due to medical negligence or if a family member died as the result of a negligent or irresponsible action we can help recover the maximum compensation you’ll need to move forward. Call us now at 510-603-4988 and schedule a free consultation today to get your questions answered. From the moment you walk through our doors we fight for a settlement that is fair for you, but we prepare to go all the way to trial if necessary. We don’t back down from a fight against insurance companies or opposing attorneys and have the capability to quickly assess your case and make recommendations on how to proceed.
Some of our cases start out with a client who’s tried to negotiate with the insurance companies themselves, but eventually couldn’t get what they needed or get ignored. Once we become their representative, the claims agents and insurance defense lawyers can become very motivated to settle because they know if they delay further they’ll pay far more if we proceed to trial.

- Car Accidents

- Negligent Security – Bar fights or failure to protect
“Negligence” means that a defendant failed to act as a reasonable person would have under the same circumstances, or that a property owner or business failed to protect people against a foreseeable accident. Personal injury cases that may contain an element of intentional conduct include assault, battery, fraud, and defamation. These encompass actions so wrongful that punitive damages against the defendant may be warranted. Often plaintiffs allege both negligent and intentional causes of action in their pleadings in those cases where the state of the defendant’s mind is not known.
Is The Insurance Company Giving You the Runaround?
Delay, delay, delay. That’s the common theme of some insurance companies. If you’ve been experiencing unreturned phone calls or emails, failure to recognize your loss, or back and forth with a claims administrator it’s time to put them on notice. You don’t have to put up with this. Callaway & Wolf are highly experienced injury attorneys in Oakland, CA who can get the insurance company to stand up and take notice immediately. In some cases, insurance carriers will only truly negotiate when the trial date is near and your attorney doesn’t flinch. Yet, there are many attorneys who always settle, and the carriers keep track. If you believe you have a case and the insurance company is ignoring you or putting you off, call us now at 510-603-4988.
