About Erica

Biography

Erica is a true visionary and leader in the profession of law. She has secured the highest position in the field of brain injury, in the State of California, as the Chair of the Board for the Brain Injury Association of California. Erica single-handedly built the largest brain injury conference in t

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) may occur after any kind of accident or injury. Sadly, these types of head wounds can be severe, often leading to lifelong impairment or even death. Experiencing a brain injury can be very distressing, especially if it happened because someone else was careless.

Every day, a large number of individuals sustain injuries from vehicle collisions. Car accidents are among the leading contributors to grave injuries. Whether you or a loved one has suffered an injury from a car crash in California, TraumaLaw is prepared to assist you.

While minor accidents can sometimes be resolved without legal assistance, more serious accidents with significant injuries, disputes over liability, or issues with insurance require a lawyer’s expertise.

Due to the big size of trucks, the long hours spent driving, and truck drivers often speeding to meet deadlines, it’s not surprising that a truck accident happens every 16 minutes. TraumaLaw is ready to act for you if you or a family member ever get into a big truck crash.

Fast and Friendly

I could not be happier with Trauma Law. My case settled in less than a year.

STOP looking and call Erica Chavez now.

Erica got us more than 3 times what every lawyer said our case was worth. My son was in a crash broke 4 bones in his body and 2 bones in is back and his brain was bleeding in 2 spots. The worse part was, we worked together and I watched it happen. Erica went to his doctor appointments, she explain...ed everything to us, and she fought so hard for us, every step of the way. The best part about Erica is that she is very honest. Even when it was bad news, she gave it to us straight. I give out Erica's phone number to everyone I know is hurt because I know she is honestly the best lawyer out there. If you have been hurt in an accident, you should call her. She always answers and she gave us her cell phone number. She takes care of everything for you. I did not have a cellphone, so she bought us one so we can call her anytime. I did not have no email address, she made me a email so I can get emails from her. She takes care of you like you are her family. Sean is really good too but deal with Erica only. you will see, she is the best lawyer in the world. I pray for her and thank God for her everyday. She still calls to check on us. I really am thankful for Erica. Thank you so much from my family.

Great Lawyer

Erica got me $250,000 on my case that 2 other lawyers told me I should only get $15,000 and she always returned my calls the same day, even on the weekend. When you get a lawyer, you want someone to pick up the phone when you call and you want her to get you great results. I am very lucky I was ref...erred to her.

GREAT LAWYER

Erica is very very compassionate and always returns phone calls. when you or someone you love are in an accident, sometimes, all you need is a returned phone call. Erica answered the phone or returned my call, the same day, every time I called her. My case was settled and I am extremely happy with... the result. Then, tonight, almost a year after my case was over, I text her to ask her a question. She answered my text and immediately called me. i am not even her client anymore and she still answers my calls! I really appreciate how hard Erica works during your case and how she treats you like you are a friend or member of her family and I respect her for always returning phone calls.
