At Schaar & Silva, LLP, we represent individuals and families in Santa Cruz who have been harmed due to another party’s careless or reckless conduct. A serious injury can disrupt every part of your life, from your health and finances to your ability to work and care for loved ones. Our firm focuses on helping injured people pursue accountability and financial recovery while they focus on healing.
Serving clients throughout Santa Cruz, we handle a wide range of personal injury matters, with an emphasis on transportation-related accidents and catastrophic injuries.
Auto Accidents
Car accidents remain one of the leading causes of injury in Santa Cruz. Whether a collision involves distracted driving, speeding, unsafe lane changes, or impaired driving, the aftermath can be overwhelming. We assist clients with pursuing compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs arising from auto accidents.
Bicycle Accidents
Santa Cruz is known for its active cycling community, but cyclists face serious risks when drivers fail to share the road responsibly. Bicycle accidents often result in severe injuries due to the lack of protection for riders. Our firm represents injured cyclists in claims involving unsafe passing, failure to yield, dooring accidents, and roadway hazards.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable when struck by a vehicle. Crosswalk collisions, parking lot accidents, and incidents involving distracted or speeding drivers can cause life-altering harm. We work to hold responsible parties accountable and seek compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term impacts.
Brain and Spinal Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage can change a person’s life permanently. These injuries often require extensive medical care, ongoing therapy, and adaptive accommodations. We represent clients facing concussions, traumatic brain injuries, herniated discs, paralysis, and other serious neurological conditions caused by accidents.
Wrongful Death Claims
When an accident results in the loss of a loved one, families are left dealing with emotional pain and financial uncertainty. Wrongful death claims can help surviving family members recover damages related to funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the loss of companionship. We approach these matters with care, respect, and attention to each family’s unique circumstances.
