With over five decades of experience representing injured workers in the San Francisco Bay Area, John E. Hill has built a reputation for dedicated advocacy and personalized service. We don’t treat clients like case numbers — we treat them like people who need real help during a difficult time.
If you’ve been injured on the job, we are prepared to take on your claim, guide you through the workers’ compensation process, and pursue the full benefits you deserve.
We represent employees harmed by workplace harassment, retaliation, or hostile environments, pursuing compensation, policy changes, and accountability under state and federal law.
Motorcycle accidents
We advocate for injured riders, investigating visibility issues, road hazards, and insurance disputes to recover medical costs, bike repairs, and lost wages.
Wrongful death
We stand with families after a preventable death, seeking funeral costs, lost financial support, and justice from negligent drivers, employers, or companies.
Bus accidents
We handle crashes involving city, school, and charter buses, addressing multi-party liability and tough insurers to secure full compensation for serious injuries.
Boat accidents
We handle boating and watercraft injuries on lakes, rivers, and marinas, addressing operator negligence, alcohol use, and rental liability to recover your losses.
Dog bites
We pursue claims for dog bites and animal attacks, seeking medical costs, lost wages, scarring compensation, and pain and suffering under California’s strict-liability law.
We fight for clients in civil rights cases involving discrimination, police misconduct, unlawful arrests, and violations of constitutional rights.
Serious injuries
We handle personal injury cases involving accidents, negligence, medical expenses, and compensation for your suffering.
Pedestrian accidents
We represent pedestrians struck by cars, rideshare, buses, or delivery vehicles, recovering medical bills, lost income, and damages for pain and long-term disability.
We represent clients with head and brain trauma from crashes, falls, or assaults—including concussions, diffuse axonal injury, and post-concussion syndrome. We pursue compensation for neurology care, rehab, lost wages, and long-term cognitive and emotional impacts.
