Sean was amazing. From the first meeting to the last with a win he provided such support and encouragement. Our case was complicated and Sean's attention to detail, knowledge of the law and ability to get all the proper people involved won the case. In court, he was extremely well prepared and very credible to the jury. His advice through the whole process was spot on. We could not have won this case if it were not for Sean. On another note, Sean took great care and time with us to understand all our emotional needs. Any time I needed questions answered or something discussed, he went out of his way to take care of things. Sean went above and beyond the call of duty. I would highly recommend Sean Burke for your legal needs.

Causes
of Catastrophic Injury
Motorcycles don't provide riders with much protection. When motorcycle accidents occur, particularly at high speeds, riders are more likely to suffer serious injuries. Our personal injury lawyers have handled motorcycle accident cases involving brain injury, road rash, and loss of limb.
Due to their large size and heavy weight, truck accidents are more likely to result in catastrophic injuries. Our Irvine catastrophic injury attorneys will review the commercial truck driver's time log, look at the company's truck maintenance schedule, and other factors to determine liability.
Sporting activities such as bicycling, football, snowboarding, soccer, and baseball can result in head injuries due to collisions with other athletes, equipment, or the ground. Proving negligence in these cases can be difficult, but a catastrophic injury attorney can help.
Construction accidents may involve falls from roofs or scaffolding, heavy equipment, or getting caught between two objects. Our Irvine personal injury lawyers will determine if defective equipment, failure to train workers, or failure to provide proper safety equipment played a role in the accident.
These types of accidents are extremely serious because pedestrians have no protection when they are hit by a vehicle. The impact with the vehicle and the ground can result in severe personal injury. Our personal injury lawyers will determine if the negligent or reckless actions of the driver resulted in the pedestrian accident.

My experience with Sean Burke as my legal counsel was the most professional, caring and supportive experience through on of the hardest times in my life. Sean always insured that my best interest was the priority. His honesty and care was evident to my family as well, as they were going through a nightmare with me. His staff is amazing as well. Sean worked to settle my case with the optimum outcome. I couldn’t have gotten through without his help and representation. He and his law firm are angels to my family and me.

This Law firm was amazing. I was turned down by 3 other Law firms to take my Medical Malpractice case because it wasn't a slam dunk case but Sean took a chance on me. It was a difficult case and I learned a lot about the law but this is a caring Law Firm and Sean and Jason Argos are so professional and caring people. I highly recommend this law firm. They are the best kind of people and not your typical money hungry lawyers. They are kind and caring and most of all tell you the truth about your chances and your case. I appreciated their candor and thank them for all they did for me.
