A Strong Advocate For The Injured
If you have suffered an injury due to the negligence of another person or business, you have the right to pursue compensation for your losses. But remember, the insurance company you will be facing has vast resources at its disposal and is committed to limiting or denying the compensation you need.
This is why it is so important to have an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side. A knowledgeable and committed attorney levels the playing field and gives you the best possible chance of obtaining financial resources to pay for medical bills, lost wages, and other hardships.
At Kimura London & White LLP, our dedicated Personal Injury Department has a proven record of success helping people who have been injured in car accidents, truck accidents, slip-and-falls, and due to negligence of all kinds. We are here to protect your rights and help you seek full and fair compensation for the losses you have suffered.
"Our client received significantly more than the original valuation, a result even acknowledged by the defense."
Why A Dedicated PI Department Matters
Personal injury cases move fast in the beginning — evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies start building their defense the moment they're notified of your claim. Having a department focused exclusively on personal injury means faster response times, a strategy built around your specific accident, and a team that never loses sight of your case among unrelated practice areas.
Samantha Rego and her team work directly with Joshua M. Kimura on every significant case, combining hands-on daily case management with senior trial-level oversight — so you get both accessibility and firepower.
Why Choose A Trial Firm?
If you suffered a personal injury, it is important to have an experienced litigator on your side. If the insurance company feels your attorney will back down and accept a "lowball" settlement offer, they will gladly offer that and no more.
Our Personal Injury Department never backs down when a client's financial well-being hangs in the balance. We know how to negotiate from a position of strength and are always prepared for aggressive litigation when necessary.

Your Irvine Car Accident Lawyers
If you've been injured due to the negligence of others, our Irvine car accident lawyers can help you fight back against the insurance company and get you the compensation you're entitled to. Ever been in a car accident that wasn't your fault, wondering if you really need a lawyer to get you the compensation you deserve? The other driver has insurance so they will take care of it, right?
Not always. A lot of times, the person responsible for your injury refuses to admit any guilt. This is especially true in cases involving car accidents. Quite often insurance companies will offer you minimal compensation as a quick cash settlement. Or worse yet, they may try to say the accident was your fault and offer you nothing at all.
That's not right! Our Personal Injury Department is eager to meet with you, and you'll notice the difference the first time you sit down with our team. We listen and don't tell you what to do. That's because we realize every case is unique and requires a custom strategy.
If your injuries were caused by a vehicle collision, start here: our Irvine Car Accident Lawyer page covers what to do after a crash, common insurer tactics, typical California settlement ranges, and how we build your case.
How to File a Personal Injury Claim in Irvine
Filing a personal injury claim doesn't have to be overwhelming. Our Personal Injury Department, led by Director Samantha Rego, follows a step-by-step process to ensure you know exactly what to expect and gives you the best chance of maximizing your recovery:
-
Free Case Evaluation
Schedule a no-obligation consultation with our Personal Injury Department. We'll review your accident report, medical records, and any available evidence—at no cost to you. -
Investigation & Evidence Gathering
We dispatch investigators to secure police reports, interview witnesses, and collect surveillance or traffic-camera footage. Strong evidence is the backbone of every successful claim. -
Demand Package Preparation
Once your injuries stabilize, we draft a comprehensive demand packet outlining your medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages (pain and suffering). This packet makes a compelling case for full compensation. -
Negotiations with Insurance Adjusters
Armed with detailed documentation, our negotiators engage directly with insurers on your behalf—refusing lowball offers and countering bad-faith tactics. -
Litigation & Trial Ready
If the insurer still won't play fair, we file suit. From drafting pleadings to presenting your case before a jury, our trial-ready team stays focused on one goal: winning you the justice you deserve.
Throughout each stage, Samantha Rego and our Personal Injury Department provide clear timelines—typically resolving most claims within 12–18 months—and 24/7 accessibility so you never have to chase updates. Ready to get started? Contact our office today for a free case review and take the first step toward the fair compensation you deserve.
Catastrophic & Serious Injury Claims
Some accidents leave more than bruises and broken bones — they leave permanent, life-altering damage. If you or a loved one is facing a spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), severe burns, or permanent disability, your case requires a different level of strategy than a standard injury claim. Future medical costs, lost earning capacity, and long-term care needs all have to be calculated and fought for. Our Personal Injury Department has secured multi-million dollar recoveries for clients facing exactly this kind of life-changing harm.

Our Personal Injury Department, led by Director Samantha Rego, handles wrongful death cases with the care your family deserves and the resolve your case requires.
