Santa Rosa Personal Injury Lawyers

Proven Results for Injured Victims and Families

When negligence causes a serious injury, fair compensation doesn’t happen by default. It happens when the claim is built with the kind of proof insurance companies and defense lawyers can’t easily discount—clear liability, credible medical support, and damages documented down to the details.

Kuvara Law Firm has delivered results for Californians for more than five decades. We’ve handled 20,000+ cases and built a reputation for resolving claims efficiently without sacrificing value. Our track record includes recoveries in high-stakes matters such as:

  • $2,000,000 — Truck Accident
  • $1,850,000 — Pedestrian Accident
  • $1,800,000 — Motorcycle Accident
  • $1,750,000 — Motor Vehicle Accident

Neal and Colby Kuvara: A Proven Team

Kuvara Law Firm is led by two generations of attorneys who combine long-standing experience with modern, trial-ready preparation.

  • Neal Kuvara brings a background that is rare in personal injury law. Before practicing law, he served as an Army medic, worked as an insurance adjuster, and later served as an arbitrator. That combination matters because many injury cases hinge on medical complexity, disputed causation, future-care needs, and insurance valuation tactics.
  • Colby B. Kuvara adds a modern litigation mindset and a disciplined approach to case-building. She focuses on presenting claims in a way that is persuasive in negotiation and defensible if litigation becomes necessary, while maintaining the client-first communication the firm is known for.

Together, Neal and Colby have earned a reputation for results and integrity—something clients consistently recognize:

“Simply the best.”

“Neal and Colby Kuvara worked tirelessly to achieve a result I am happy with. They did not promise me anything they did not deliver. Along with this, they are decent people, not something you may associate with lawyers. They proceeded at a pace that allowed me to heal and kept me informed of all developments in a timely manner. I could not recommend them more highly.” – Former Client

Why Choose Kuvara Law Firm

Clients come to us because they want serious representation without the runaround. What that looks like in practice:

  • A long-established firm with real staying power. We’ve served injured Californians since 1971 and have maintained a strong professional record for decades.
  • Built-in leverage against insurance tactics. We understand how claims are evaluated from the inside and how adjusters justify low offers—so we know what evidence forces movement.
  • Medical awareness that strengthens the damages story. Injury claims rise and fall on documentation and credibility, especially when symptoms evolve or future care is disputed.
  • Client-first accessibility. You get straight answers, consistent updates, and a legal team that treats your case like it matters.

Cases We Handle

Santa Rosa and Sonoma County see a mix of commuter traffic, tourism, commercial delivery activity, and busy corridors like US-101 and CA-12. When crashes and other preventable incidents happen, the claim often involves more than “who hit who”—it involves coverage layers, documentation issues, and insurers testing whether the injured person will push back.

We handle serious injury and wrongful death matters involving:

Transportation and vehicle-related claims

  • Car accidents, including intersection and multi-vehicle collisions
  • Truck and commercial vehicle crashes
  • Motorcycle crashes and serious rider injuries
  • Pedestrian and bicycle collisions
  • Rideshare claims and coverage disputes (Uber/Lyft)

Property and premises claims

  • Slip and fall and hazardous-condition injuries
  • Negligent property maintenance and overlooked hazards
  • Store and commercial property injuries

Other high-impact injury matters

  • Dog bites and animal attacks
  • Catastrophic injury claims
  • Wrongful death cases

    How Personal Injury Claims Work in California

    A personal injury claim is the legal process for holding a person, business, or entity financially responsible when negligence causes harm. Most cases come down to proving four elements with credible evidence:

    1. Duty: The defendant had an obligation to act with reasonable care.
    2. Breach: They failed to meet that obligation (a driving error, ignored hazard, unsafe practice, or preventable risk).
    3. Causation: That failure caused the injury being treated.
    4. Damages: The injury resulted in measurable losses—financial and non-financial.

    Insurance companies typically fight the same pressure points: they challenge fault, question whether treatment was “necessary,” argue symptoms were pre-existing, minimize future care needs, or push settlement before the long-term picture is clear. 

    Strong claims are the ones built with a clean timeline and documentation that supports both liability and damages.

    What Compensation Can Include

    A serious injury claim is not just reimbursement for bills that have already arrived. It is meant to account for the full impact of the injury on your finances and your life.

    Depending on the case, compensation may include:

    • Medical expenses and future care needs (rehabilitation, procedures, ongoing treatment)
    • Lost income and loss of earning capacity
    • Out-of-pocket costs caused by injury limitations (transportation, equipment, household help)
    • Pain and suffering and the daily impact of reduced function
    • Loss of enjoyment of life when injuries limit normal activities and independence
    • Scarring, disfigurement, or long-term impairment effects
    • Wrongful death damages when negligence causes a fatal loss (different legal rules apply)

    The difference between a low offer and fair value is often documentation—especially when future care, work impact, and lasting limitations are part of the case.

    What to Expect from the Process

    Every claim is different, but most follow a recognizable progression:

    • Case evaluation and strategy: We assess liability, injuries, and coverage, then identify the issues that will control value.
    • Investigation and documentation: We build the evidentiary record—medical support, wage documentation, and proof that is hard to minimize.
    • Demand and negotiation: We present a supported claim and push for fair value based on the documented risk to the insurer.
    • Litigation if necessary: Many cases settle, but meaningful settlement often requires credible litigation leverage.
    • Resolution and closing details: We handle settlement logistics, costs, and lien/billing issues that affect net recovery.

    Santa Rosa FAQ

    • How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in California?

      In many cases, the general deadline is two years from the date of injury, but exceptions can apply. For example, timelines can change in matters involving:

      • Government entities (which can involve earlier notice requirements)
      • Minors
      • Delayed discovery situations and certain claim types

      Deadlines can end a case regardless of its strength, so it’s smart to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to confirm what timeline applies.

    • How Do I Know if I Have a Case?

      A claim is usually viable when (1) responsibility can be proven, and (2) the injury has meaningful consequences. Indicators that it’s worth having evaluated include:

      • Treatment beyond a single visit (imaging, PT, specialists, injections, surgery, or ongoing care)
      • Symptoms that persist and affect daily function or activity
      • Missed work or reduced ability to do your job
      • Insurer pushback such as blame-shifting, rushed settlement pressure, or “minor injury” framing

      Even a strong claim can be undervalued if it isn’t developed and presented correctly. The safest move is to have an experienced injury lawyer evaluate the facts and explain what matters.

    • How Much Is My Case Worth?

      Value depends on injury severity, treatment course, work impact, and the quality of documentation. In many cases, compensation may include medical costs, income loss, future care needs, and non-economic harm like pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. A case review helps identify the real value drivers and what proof is needed to support them.

    • How Much Does it Cost to Hire Kuvara Law Firm?

      We work on a contingency fee, which means:

      • No upfront attorney’s fees

      "Mr. Kuvara and his team are truly amazing! He is the most kind hearted and will do everything he can to win your case."

      They are very prompt with responses and follow up. The entire process was stress free (especially going through this during the middle of the pandemic) and seamless! He heard, understood my pain and had the most sincerest empathy for me. This review has been LONG overdue. He took care of me in 2020 and has left an everlasting impression in my life. I recommend everyone to Mr. Kuvara and his outstanding team! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

      "They held my hand thru the whole thing, answering my silly calls with questions and showing great patience."

      I found the Kuvara Law Firm when I did a search for personal injury attorneys. I scanned down the possibilities but their name jumped out at me. I called, sure I didn't have a claim because I've never done this before, but on reviewing my case Mr. Kuvara said I DO have a case and assigned me to the appropriate person to get things started. They were always very friendly and encouraging whenever I contacted them. Colby is an absolute doll! Then when I had my fall and concussion Mr. Kovara referred me to a colleague at another firm that specializes in that type of case. They, too, were good and helpful and full of information I'd never think of! Everything was perfect, they really knew their jobs at both firms and took great care of me. I can't recommend them highly enough and will keep their contact information in my wallet ready to share with all who may ask! Thanks so much, Colby!

      "Colby was professional, caring and listened carefully to what our son's desired outcomes were."

      Our adult son was hit by a car while on vacation in San Rafael CA. We recieved the call the night before Thanksgiving 2022. We flew from MPLS to San Fransisco and got to the hospital where our son was. He was injured badly, after emergency brain surgery he was placed in a medically induced coma he woke up after three day's. We decided as a family to contact an attorney. We contacted Kuvara Law firm and talked with Colby. Colby assured us that the only interest she had was the well being of our son. She went above and beyond to navigate out of state insurance and an entire host of other issues. Our entire family would recomend Kuvara Law firm to anyone looking for representation.
