At Hiepler & Hiepler, we don't practice every type of law. We limit the types of cases we take to those we can do well. Our attorneys won't set up a new business for you, or help you with a patent. If you're injured in California, though, you won't find a more dedicated firm to help you wade through the sea of insurance forms, denials of liability, and accusations that you are somehow to blame for your own predicament. We can help you deal with legal problems growing from:
Insurance Law & Bad Faith — California, like most other states, requires that when an insurance company receives a notice of a claim from one of their insureds, they take the time to investigate the claim quickly and make a determination of benefits based on that investigation. They cannot process a claim based on some internal policy of just denying everything that comes in. When an insurance company refuses to investigate or pay a legitimate claim, it is called "bad faith." The law provides stiff penalties for bad faith. You should not stand for such mistreatment-you've paid for your coverage. If you know you have a valid claim, contact us and we'll go to bat for you and get you what's rightfully yours.
Catastrophic Injuries — A catastrophic and life altering injury is a devastating and tragic event for any family. It is also a complex and complicated legal matter. Serious injury cases involve a great deal more than simply compelling an insurance company to cut a check for a whiplash victim. A catastrophic injury will end your life, as you know it. You may find yourself unable to work, drive, provide for your family, participate in the activities you love, or even walk. You require a compensation package that will insure your continued care and rehabilitation, as well as insuring financial resources for your loved ones. Click here to learn more about our services.
Health & Health Care Law — Health care is an industry, just like automobile manufacturing, and comes with its own set of regulations. In addition to new confidentiality provisions, there are new regulations affecting Medicare, Medicaid, disability claims and more. If you are having problems with these regulations, whether you find yourself on the side that's trying to keep up with them, or are one of those caught in the middle of their enforcement, we can help you. Our California health law attorneys make it their business to keep current with changes affecting this industry and can help you keep current, too. Contact us and we can help with what you need to know.
Products Liability — The law of product liability requires that the manufacturer of a product not place making a profit ahead of making a safe product. Unfortunately, there are a lot of products out there that have been put together by companies that either didn't care whether you would get hurt using them, or didn't bother to find out. When a product fails to perform in the way you had expected it to when you bought it, or were required to use it, and you are hurt or a loved one has been killed by its malfunction, you should consult with a qualified California products liability attorney.

Medical Malpractice — People who work in the medical profession are just like the rest of us. The only difference is that their mistakes can cost a person their life or leave them to cope with a lifetime of disability and pain. Health care professionals, emergency medical technicians to surgeons and recovery room nurses can all make costly mistakes. When the people you have entrusted your life and health to have left you in worse condition than you began, you may have a claim for medical malpractice. Click here to learn more about our services.
Retinopathy of Prematurity
Nursing Home Abuse — When you have an elderly relative (or maybe even a younger one with serious medical problems), and you no longer have the ability to properly care for them, often the answer is to place them in a nursing care facility for residential care. Most of the times this is the best answer. When you entrust the care of a loved one to such a facility, you do so with the understanding that the facility will ensure his or her physical, mental, and emotional well-being. If a California nursing home has caused physical, mental, or emotional harm to your loved one through neglect or abuse, we can help you hold these people responsible.
