Personal Injury

Since 1916, our firm defended corporations and insurance companies in personal injury litigation.  While our emphasis remains on defense, we also undertake the representation of injured plaintiffs on a select basis when no conflicts exist.  Out team of attorneys include members of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) and the Association of Defense Counsel of Northern California, and regularly conducts trials throughout the San Joaquin Valley in lawsuits arising from claims of negligence, intentional torts, premises liability, and motor vehicle accidents.

Medical Malpractice

Defending hospitals and physicians accused of medical malpractice requires a thorough understanding of the particular issues intrinsic to this area of law, such as the importance of expert testimony in identifying the proper standard of care, and the use of independent medical examinations to determine the cause and extent of the alleged injury.  With more than 40 years of experience representing both hospitals and physicians in medical malpractice cases, our attorneys have the skills and background to successfully protect the interests of a variety of care providers.

Products Liability

When a plaintiff alleges that a product has been defectively designed or manufactured, or that inadequate safety warnings were given, the concept of strict liability (liability without fault) places a heavy burden on manufacturers and distributors to defend their practices.  Stammer, McKnight, Barnum & Bailey LLP has decades of experience handling personal injury cases involving a range of products, including tractors and other agricultural equipment, manufacturing machinery, household appliances and fixtures, electrical devices, tools, tires, and other automotive parts.
