Coachella Valley Personal Injury Lawyers

If you were hurt because someone else was careless, the next steps are critical. The medical decisions you make, the evidence you preserve, and the way your claim is positioned from the beginning can shape the outcome.

Parkinson, LLP is a personal injury firm built for high-stakes cases. We represent seriously injured people and families in personal injury and wrongful death cases across California. We prepare every case with a clear goal: build leverage early, prove damages with real evidence, and be ready to take the case to trial when justice requires it. Because that’s how you build leverage for the best outcome.

The principals of the firm, James Parkinson and Shaun Murphy, bring major trial and appellate experience, national-level credibility, and the kind of courtroom readiness that changes how insurance companies evaluate risk. 

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay attorney fees unless we obtain a recovery for you.
