Our Practice
The attorneys at the Goforth & Lucas Law Partnership provide legal advice and representation to residents of Concord and communities throughout California in a wide range of practice areas. Clients trust us to examine every facet of their legal dilemma in order to provide an accurate and honest appraisal of the case's strengths and weaknesses. We are proud to have successfully guided clients through even the most complicated claims in the areas of:
- Workers' compensation: We represent the injured worker at all stages of the workers' compensation claim process, from the initial application filing through trial or the appeal of a claim denial. We put the law on your side. As the applicant you must play on a level playing field to receive full compensation due to you under the California Labor Code, and to protect your legal rights against the tactics of the workers' compensation insurance carriers and their defense attorneys. You are generally entitled to temporary disability, medical care, permanent disability, retraining benefits, and lifetime medical care. Additionally, when a worker has been injured through the fault of a subcontractor, dangerous product, or an entity other than the employer, we aggressively pursue a third-party claim.
- Personal injury: Catastrophic claims arising out of construction site injuries, including chemical and gas explosions, refinery accidents, defective scaffolding, dangerous or defective machinery and equipment; severely injured drivers, passengers or pedestrians in auto accidents, motorcycle and big-rig accidents; wrongful death claims, premises liability and defective equipment.
-
Death and catastrophic injuries: Through our workers' compensation and personal injury practice centers, we have helped clients who have suffered through a wide range of serious claims, including back injuries, neck injuries, bone injuries, shoulder injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, herniated discs, fractures, CRPS, psychiatric disability, crush injuries, PTSD, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering damages and loss of earning capacity.
- Real estate and business litigation: We defend the integrity of the legal process surrounding foreclosures, and protect the rights of homeowners against sloppy or fraudulent bank repossessions and foreclosure practices. We represent individuals and businesses in civil litigation to resolve real estate or business disputes, including breach of contract, construction defect, boundary disputes, mortgage restructuring and loan modifications. Conversely, if you are a lender or note holder we protect your rights and initiate the foreclosure process. Contact trial lawyer Christopher R. Lucas. Law Clerk: Liliana Rincon.
