At the Walnut Creek, California, law firm of Bowles & Verna LLP, we represent clients who have suffered catastrophic personal injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one arising from aviation accidents, motor vehicle accidents, toxic torts and workplace accidents. In 25 years as a law firm, we have helped our clients recover millions in compensation for spinal cord injuries, burn injuries and brain injuries. We also represent clients in business litigation arising from real estate and commercial disputes, fraud, insurance coverage and construction.

Our law firm handles extremely complex lawsuits for individuals and businesses. Our international aviation accidents practice is just one example of how we focus on large, complicated litigation issues for our clients.

We represent clients throughout the world who have been injured or who have lost a loved one in a plane or helicopter crash. We have successfully handled numerous international aviation accident cases in which we have won millions of dollars for our clients, including the Air Philippines crash ($62 million), the Helios 737 crash in Greece ($11 million for six clients), and the Korean Airlines 801 crash in 1997 ($34 million for our clients).

These cases involve complex issues that include the application of international treaties and foreign laws, as well as technical product liability and insurance issues. With this much experience with these complicated international aviation accident issues, we are equipped and prepared to handle the most complicated litigation matter you might be facing.

At Bowles & Verna LLP, we have 23 attorneys. We are small enough to maintain efficiency of action, yet large enough to be able to support major international litigation. Practicing both plaintiff and defense litigation gives us a strategic advantage in preparing for trial. We have a track record of success, with exceptional experience. All of our trial attorneys have a minimum of 10-15 years experience, and our two partners, Richard Bowles and Michael Verna, have more than 75 combined years of legal experience.
