California trial lawyers, also known as California Consumer Attorneys, represent plaintiffs in civil cases, usually on a contingency-fee basis. Contingency fee means that the trial lawyer's compensation is a percentage of the amount recovered for the plaintiff, either from a settlement or by a verdict in a jury trial. The fee is “contingent upon" a recovery of money for the injured person. If there is no recovery for the injured person, then no legal fee is owed to the attorney.

Plaintiff trial lawyers represent people injured or killed in auto accidents, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, and dog attacks; by dangerous products (products liability), on dangerous sidewalks and roadways, by slip and fall accidents in stores and by accidents on public transit such as buses and trains. Trial lawyers also represent workers injured on the job and employees who are discriminated against, harassed or wrongly fired by their employers. These consumer attorneys (a/k/a trial lawyers) will sue an insurance company on behalf of a policy holder when the insurer fails to make good on its insurance policy.

For patients injured by doctors and hospitals, it is the trial attorneys who sue for medical malpractice. Consumers who are ripped off by large corporations such as banks and utility companies often turn to consumer attorneys to file class-action lawsuits against these large corporations because a single individual cannot otherwise seek justice against them. California trial attorneys truly are the ones who fight everyday to preserve the rights of the ordinary citizen in the civil courts of California.
