Our Personal Injury Case Results
At Venardi Zurada, we’ve supported clients across California in serious injury cases, including matters that resolved through settlement and those that went to trial, including:
- $7.145 Million Maritime Accident: An 80-year-old passenger suffered a severe spinal injury when a tender vessel rose and fell sharply on a wave. Through meticulous investigation and expert testimony, Mark Venardi helped secure a significant recovery for the client.
- $6 Million Pedestrian Accident: A homeless man struck by a vehicle while crossing against a red light was offered $50,000 before trial. Venardi Zurada took the case, built a compelling narrative with expert witnesses, and reached a settlement shortly before trial.
- $3 Million Construction Site Accident: An electrician was injured after tripping on rebar at a construction site. The firm uncovered critical evidence showing the general contractor’s negligence. Despite false testimony, the jury ruled in favor of the client, finding that unsafe site conditions caused the injury.

"They were very kind"
I am so grateful for everything that my lawyer, Terry Buller, and paralegal Christina Souza did to settle my personal injury case after I was hit by a car in a crosswalk. They were very kind during a time of great pain and distress. They were so organized and efficient and managed everything with the other party’s insurance, my medical insurance and Medicare – which would have been a nightmare for me to have to deal with after the accident. I am very pleased with the settlement they obtained and would very highly recommend them and the others at Venardi Zurada, LLP.

"Helpful, Informative, and Reliable"
This was the first time I’ve ever used an attorney for anything in my life. Not knowing what to expect, Ryan Kraft helped me through the process of my personal injury claim with no major issues. Now that things are settled, I’m very happy with the service and outcome of my claim. Also, Ariana was helpful in keeping me informed periodically, which was very appreciated. Hopefully, I won’t need an attorney in the future, but if I did, I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.

Understanding the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury in California
After an accident, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed and unsure how much time you have to take action. California’s statute of limitations generally gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. While that may seem like plenty of time, evidence can fade and witnesses can become harder to reach, so starting early is always in your best interest.
Some cases have different deadlines, especially if your claim involves a government agency where deadlines are only six months. If you’re unsure how long you have to file your Stockton personal injury claim, our team can guide you through the deadlines and next steps.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Personal Injury in Stockton?
After an accident, compensation is about more than covering costs; it’s about helping you rebuild your life. California law allows victims to recover economic, non-economic, and in some circumstances punitive damages.
Economic damages include measurable losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages account for pain, emotional distress, and the impact on your quality of life. In rare cases, punitive damages may also apply when the at-fault party’s conduct was especially reckless or intentional.
At Venardi Zurada, we take the time to understand how your injury has affected you and work to pursue a claim that reflects the full scope of what you have lost.
