Serious personal injury and the wrongful death of a loved one are highly personal family tragedies attended by a level of suffering and a sense of loss no one should have to bear.  Attorneys John McBrearty and Andrea Ware have the compassion and understanding to remain sensitive to human feelings while providing support, guidance and legal representation of the highest order.

With more than 36 years of combined legal experience, Attorneys McBrearty and Ware have established a well-deserved reputation as one of the most effective personal injury law firms in Long Beach, and throughout Southern California, in the following areas:

• Automobile Accidents
• Bicycle Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents
• SUV Rollover Accidents
• Defect Products/Products Liability
• Slip and Fall/ Premises Liability 
• Dog/Animal Bites
• Nursing Home Abuse
• Spinal Cord Injury 
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Burn Injury
• Wrongful Death

McBrearty & Ware has been able to maximize the recoveries clients have received because of the knowledge, experience and, most importantly, the reputation that the Firm has established with insurance companies and defense lawyers. Insurance companies know that John McBrearty and Andrea Ware are experienced trial lawyers who are not afraid to try cases. Simply put, insurance companies will pay more money to settle your case if they know that your lawyer has the experience, dedication and willingness to put the matter in front of a jury if the insurance company is not willing to settle your claim fairly.

Additionally, McBrearty and Ware take pride in investigating their client's cases thoroughly. This willingness to go the extra mile has paid off handsomely for the Firm's clients, many of whom had been rejected by other lawyers because the police report said they were at fault. The police report is NEVER evidence in a personal injury trial. The police officers rarely see the accident and witnesses frequently make mistakes as to the color of a traffic signal or the speed of a vehicle.

As an example, witnesses almost always guess that motorcycles are speeding and that a motorcyclist's excessive speed caused the accident in which the rider was badly injured. In the right case, McBrearty & Ware will hire experts in accident reconstruction to analyze the length of skidmarks and the damage to the vehicles involved to correctly establish how an accident happened.

This same willingness to do a thorough investigation has also been of great benefit to the Firm's clients in other types of cases. John McBrearty and Andrea Ware have represented clients who were severely injured because a product was defective. A bicycle wheel hub failed, causing severe facial injuries. A printing press had been modified causing a degloving injury to the operators hand. A shredding machine was defectively designed causing an amputation. Because of their willingness to hire the engineering experts to thoroughly investigate those defective products, McBrearty & Ware's clients recovered substantial amounts of money in compensation.
