Over the last quarter century, firm founder and personal injury attorney Joseph S. Nierenberg have seen firsthand the devastation that an accident involving serious injury can have on individuals and a family. For that reason, we dedicate ourselves to helping victims after an accident involving a serious injury.

What Is a Serious Injury?

At San Francisco-based law firm Weber & Nierenberg (with offices throughout the Bay Area), our personal injury attorneys view any injury that prevents you from doing your job or limits your ability to engage in activities or enjoy your family as a serious injury.

Serious injuries range from a disabling soft-tissue injury such as whiplash to a more catastrophic injury such as a brain injury.

We handle personal injury claims involving all types of injuries, including:

Recent Examples of How We Have Helped Our Clients

$3,750,000
We represented a 76-year-old whose car was rear-ended by a San Francisco Municipal Railway bus. The bus driver was intoxicated, and our investigation revealed that the driver had an extensive substance abuse problem and prior accident history. The accident severed our client’s spinal cord and left him a T-5 paraplegic. The settlement included enough money to provide him with the needed life care prognosticated by our experts.

$3,000,000
We represented the family of an 8-year-old who drowned during her swim class at a public pool in Contra Costa County. We proved to the defendant that the drowning would not have occurred if the pool staff had followed their stated protocols for pool safety. The settlement included a memorial established in honor of our clients’ daughter.

$700,000
We represented a 69-year-old who was exposed to carbon monoxide when his homebuilder failed to glue a radiant heating system flue exhaust pipe. Our client suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, resulting in a mild traumatic brain injury and depression.
