Rush, James D
An act of carelessness can have a tragic result, leading to serious injuries or the loss of a loved one. You do not deserve this. Nobody does. Nobody should have to fight to recover from an injury that someone else caused or have to live with a hole in their family because of someone else's negligence.

And nobody should have to deal with the financial fallout either. Here's what you do deserve: You deserve justice. You deserve to see the negligent party held accountable for the harm they have done. You deserve compensation for every penny that you have had to pay in medical bills and that you have lost in wages.

If you are looking for honest and professional legal representation then James Rush and his team is the law firm for you. Having never been involved in a lawsuit before and someone who avoids conflict, a personal injury lawsuit was the last thing I expected I would pursue. After careful research my husband suggested I contact Rush Injury Law.
A process that could have been incredibly stressful for me turned out to be much easier than I anticipated especially since I was out of state. After speaking with Mr. Rush I immediately felt that he was someone I could trust.
Mr. Rush personally took great

Excellent attorneys. Competent, responded to my every question quickly. Did an excellent job of representing me against the City of Oakland after a bad accident on poorly maintained streets. Obtained a more than adequate settlement.

Such a great company to work with. I was unsure of what to do and they took care of everything. When I wanted to know something they’d answer it respectfully and explained it. Jim’s a great person to put your trust in when it comes to such circumstances.

James Rush and his team made a very difficult time in my life much easier. My daughter was hit by a truck and the medical bills were mounting. James and his team are very compassionate, listen attentively and answered all my questions. Dealing with hospitals and insurance companies is not easy . My family highly recommends James Rush if you are ever injured.

James is amazing. He’s not only a fantastic lawyer and a great father but also a person who truly cares about his clients. I am a fellow attorney and I practice estate planning and when I have clients in need of a personal injury attorney, he is always my first choice! I’ve known him for almost 20 years and I am confidant you will be in great hands with James.

Good people and a Super Professional Lawyer ready to help you!

James Rush and his team helped me through a very difficult time. James is a very professional and compassionate attorney that took the time to communicate, listen and answer every question I had.

Jim and his team are very honest people and are not about to pull any punches and just tell you what you want to hear. They are super sharp with tons of experience, and will really make the other side pay for the harm they caused. At every turn, they told us what was coming and how it would play out and what the strategy would be.

There

Jim is Fantastic! For being as smart and clever (that is important with an attorney!) he still communicates in a very respectful way. I always felt like we were teammates and my concerns matter. I felt heard and understood! Also, he was incredibly responsive, which was a wonderful surprise. Always available and quick to execute. And he 100% delivered and exceeded my expectations. I feel so lucky to have found him and I recommend him to everyone!

I hired Attorney James Rush after getting in a car accident. The other driver's insurance company was stalling as my medical bills piled up. Jim and his staff did a great job helping me find local doctors who helped me get better.

Jim pursued the other driver's insurance company until they finally paid. In the end, I got a settlement that was so much higher than what was originally offered to me. I recommend Rush Injury Law to anyone who has been hurt in an accident.

Mr. Rush helped me with my personal injury accident that happened in 2015. What I appreciated most about James was the communication. He was very informative and answered all my questions so I could understand. When I contacted his office or would email him with questions, he would always respond quickly which was great! I feel like he got the most he could for me out of my claim and I was very pleased with his services. Always friendly and patient. I would highly recommend James Rush if you have a personal injury matter.

I have nothing but good things to say about James Rush. In my experience--albeit limited to a single injury suit he took on--James is a personable, professional, and effective attorney. He communicated with clarity, treated me with fairness, and pursued a settlement with skill. Heaven forbid you need his services, but if you do, call him up. I did--and I live 50 miles away in Oakland!

James Rush was a complete delight to work with on my auto accident case. He not only was very easy to communicate with, he repeatedly took the time and effort to negotiate a proper settlement with all parties involved, keeping me in the loop during the entire process. He also pleasantly and thoroughly answered any questions and concerns I had had along the way. I am very pleased with his knowledge and expertise, and the great job he did. A true professional!

I was incredibly lucky to call Jim. His services were above and beyond anything I expected. I was involved in an accident and hated dealing with this stuff. Jim took the ball and got me what I deserved to get me whole again. I'm impressed with the hard work from him and his staff with the settlement agreement as well as the attitude. I will always recommend him to anyone of my friends or family. If you speak with him you will understand what I mean.

I used Jim's services about 3 years ago. Jim was great at guiding me thru the whole experience and making sure I understood all the steps and made it thru the process in one piece. Once the process was done I have not had to think about it again. It was done and James was able to help me get one large stress out of my life. I have recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. He was a true professional and was able to give me all the answers and advice I needed.
