Accidents can upend a family’s life in an instant, and many injury victims across Sonoma County are unsure of the legal options available to them after a crash, a fall, an animal attack, or the loss of a loved one. Henderson Law, a Santa Rosa personal injury firm serving Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Windsor, Healdsburg, and Sonoma, is reminding area residents that California law provides a path to compensation when someone else’s negligence causes harm.
Founded by attorney Michael Henderson, a graduate of McGeorge School of Law and a member of the National Trial Lawyers’ Top 100 Trial Lawyers, the firm has spent more than two decades representing injured clients and their families, recovering tens of millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts.
Insurance companies typically move quickly after an accident, often before a victim fully understands the extent of their injuries or losses. Henderson Law encourages anyone hurt through no fault of their own to consult an attorney before speaking with an insurance adjuster or accepting a settlement offer, since accepting a check usually means giving up the right to seek additional compensation later.
The firm regularly represents clients across a broad range of claims, including car accidents, which remain one of the most common sources of serious injury on Sonoma County roadways. Henderson Law also handles pedestrian and crosswalk accidents, a growing concern given that California consistently reports some of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the country; federal data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that 7,522 pedestrians were killed nationwide in a recent year alone.
Beyond roadway collisions, the firm assists victims of slip and fall injuries suffered on poorly maintained properties, as well as dog and animal attacks, where California’s strict liability law generally holds an owner responsible for injuries even if the animal had no prior history of aggression. When an accident proves fatal, Henderson Law represents surviving family members in wrongful death claims, helping them pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the loss of a loved one’s companionship.
Henderson Law offers free, no-obligation consultations and handles cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients owe no legal fees unless the firm recovers compensation on their behalf. Because California law generally allows only two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury claim, and less time in certain circumstances, the firm urges accident victims not to delay in seeking legal advice.
