"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.
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 Orange County 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
BISNAR | CHASE have represented many clients, mostly
children, who have been victims of vicious dog attacks.
In order to assist the public with more information
on this growing danger and what to do in case of an
animal attack, see www.aboutdogbites.com.
The firm recovered nearly $3 million for a man severely
burned while on the job, which resulted in safety changes
by the defendant. They recovered over $2 million for
another man who was seriously injured on the job, after
his previous attorney advised him his maximum recovery
would be $15,000.00. In 1999 BISNAR | CHASE fought
an injury case all the way to the Supreme Court. After
the Supreme Court heard Mr. Chase's arguments, the Court
adopted his position as the law in California.
Based on the firm's excellent reputation in the legal
community, many of their cases are referred by other
lawyers. BISNAR | CHASE takes pride in being the
Personal Injury Department of many lawyers who practice
other areas of law or do not have the resources or legal
expertise to handle serious and catastrophic injury
cases.
To provide the best legal representation to their clients,
BISNAR | CHASE limits the types and number of cases
it accepts. Representation is limited to injury accidents
and insurance bad faith claims, including auto, traffic
and aircraft accidents, nursing home negligence/abuse,
dog bites, defective products, premise liability, failure
to warn and on-the-job injuries.
"I specifically went to law school to become a
personal injury trial attorney. It is what I love, what
I do, and what I am." Brian Chase
The partners, John Bisnar and Brian Chase, are both
Pepperdine Law School graduates. They are active in their
communities as well as in esteemed legal circles and
are members of the local, state and national trial lawyers associations.
Mr. Chase is Treasurer and Education Chair of the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association (OCTLA) and is on the Board
