Engstrom, Lipscomb & Lack is a premier California law firm representing individuals and families in serious personal injury and wrongful death cases.

For more than four decades, our firm has focused on holding negligent individuals, corporations, and institutions accountable when their conduct causes catastrophic injury or loss of life. We represent clients throughout California in high-stakes litigation involving severe injuries, permanent disability, and wrongful death, often against well-funded defendants and their insurers.

Our practice includes approximately 20 attorneys devoted to complex civil litigation on behalf of consumers. We are widely known among opposing counsel for our preparation, trial readiness, and willingness to pursue cases through verdict when necessary. That reputation has been built over decades of results and is a critical advantage for our clients in personal injury and wrongful death matters.

Personal Injury & Wrongful Death Cases We Handle

Engstrom, Lipscomb & Lack represents victims and families in a broad range of serious injury and fatal accident cases, including:

• Catastrophic personal injury
• Wrongful death
• Product liability and defective products
• Premises liability and unsafe property conditions
• Transportation-related injuries
• Industrial and workplace-related injuries
• Toxic exposure and environmental harm
• Mass tort personal injury cases

We focus on cases involving significant harm, where the consequences for victims and families are life-altering and require substantial legal, medical, and financial resources to pursue properly.

A Client-Focused, Compassionate Approach

We understand that personal injury and wrongful death cases arise during some of the most difficult moments in our clients’ lives. Serious injuries and sudden loss place enormous emotional and financial strain on individuals and families. Our approach begins with listening to our clients, understanding their needs and concerns, and responding with urgency, empathy, and respect.

From the earliest stages of a case, we work to document the full scope of damages — medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, and the personal impact of injury or loss — while building a strong legal strategy to hold responsible parties accountable. Throughout the process, we prioritize clear communication and careful guidance so clients can focus on healing while we handle the litigation.

Contingency Fee Representation

Engstrom, Lipscomb & Lack represents personal injury and wrongful death clients on a contingency fee basis. We do not charge any fees upfront and generally advance the costs necessary to prosecute the case. If there is no recovery, our clients owe us nothing for our time, fees, or costs advanced. This structure ensures that our interests are aligned with those of our clients and that access to experienced legal representation is not limited by financial concerns.

Individual and Group Representation

While many personal injury and wrongful death cases involve individual clients or families, we are also frequently retained to represent multiple victims arising from the same incident or related conduct. When appropriate, this allows for efficiencies in investigation, expert development, and litigation strategy, while still maintaining individualized attention to each client’s damages and circumstances.

Wrongful Death Litigation

Wrongful death cases require both legal precision and sensitivity. We represent surviving family members in claims arising from fatal accidents caused by negligence, defective products, unsafe conditions, or corporate misconduct. Our attorneys pursue all available damages under California law, including loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and other compensable harms, while handling these matters with the care and seriousness they deserve.

Resources and Expertise

Our firm works with a network of highly qualified experts and professionals, including:

• Medical specialists
• Accident reconstructionists
• Engineers and safety experts
• Life care planners
• Economists and financial experts
• Investigators

These resources allow us to fully evaluate liability, establish damages, and present compelling cases on behalf of our clients.
