When you have been injured because of the carelessness or negligence of another person, the right lawyer can make the difference between getting the compensation you need and deserve, and facing a long period, perhaps even a lifetime, of struggle. You want an attorney with experience, one who will take the time to thoroughly prepare your case, and one with a proven ability to help others get full and fair compensation for their losses.
At Blackman Legal Group, we bring over 32 years of specialized experience in personal injury litigation to clients throughout San Francisco, Oakland and the Bay Area. We are known by our peers for our comprehensive and meticulous preparation of every case we handle. Because of our consistent and detail-oriented approach to every personal injury claim, we have obtained many verdicts or settlements in excess of $1 million for our clients. This record has earned Mr. Blackman the coveted “AV” Rating, which is given only to the most qualified trial attorneys in the business.

Our personal injury attorneys all bring considerable experience to bear on every case we handle. Senior attorney Cliff Blackman has protected the rights of injured people in the Bay Area since 1976. All of our other lawyers have at least 12 years of practice experience, and all are first and foremost trial attorneys. Our experience encompasses a broad spectrum of personal injury claims, from whiplash and soft tissue injuries to serious and catastrophic personal injury actions, including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord trauma and paralysis, amputation and loss of limb. Our lawyers also have extensive experience handling wrongful death claims. We have the experience to litigate the most complex types of personal injury claims.
At Blackman Legal Group, we believe that preparation is the key to success. Because of our considerable experience, we understand how we need to proceed at each step and what information must be gathered in order to properly develop your case. We take a methodical approach, carefully building your case from the very beginning. Our attention to detail helps us move your case forward on a timely basis and often puts us in a position to negotiate a settlement that meets all your needs.
Because we thoroughly prepare every case, and because we bring a wealth of legal experience to every personal injury claim we handle, we regularly win verdicts and negotiate settlements that meet or exceed our clients’ expectations. We have a high rate of success at obtaining awards that are at, and occasionally far above, insurance policy limits.
