"What we do is about making society a safer place and saving lives. It's not solely about the money, which greatly contributes to repairing the lives of our clients," says Brian Chase. "We accomplish this by holding wrongdoers accountable for their negligence and assisting their victims in putting their lives back together," adds John Bisnar, who has been representing accident victims since 1978.

Southern California Law Firm - Bisnar | Chase Bisnar | Chase, LLP is one of California's Premier Personal Injury law firms and is headquartered in Newport Beach. Managing Partners, John Bisnar and Brian Chase are expert personal injury attorneys and have consistently achieved multi-million dollar results for their clients.

The past year has been filled with achievements. Bisnar | Chase recovered a substantial, confidential, amount from Ford Motor Company for their use of faulty seat belts in their vehicles, which resulted in paralysis and, ultimately, the death of a young girl. Bisnar | Chase is seeking a recall of the faulty seat belts. For more about this case and faulty seat belts see www.seatbeltlaw.com.

In December 2000 the firm recovered $2.5 million from the State of California, on behalf of a young mother who was paralyzed as the result of a dangerous condition in a State park. After the settlement the State corrected the dangerous condition and has hopefully hightened it's compliance with their own safety guidelines. The woman's former attorneys, after months of representation, told her she had no case.

"By holding wrongdoers accountable for the harm they cause, we create an economic incentive for people and companies to operate in a safe and prudent manner. Personal Injury Attorneys, who operate with this philosophy, are the great equalizers of our society." John Bisnar
