Mr. Costello specializes in representing individuals and their families in cases arising from  Major Highway & Trucking Accidents and Medical & Hospital Malpractice throughout California.  We only handle cases involving very serious injuries or death.  We are fully experienced in cases involving the complex legal, medical, economic and emotional issues related to catastrophic injuries and wrongful death.  We carefully limit the number of cases we handle, and devote our full attention and efforts to each case.  We are proud of our reputation, experience and proven record.  

• Serious Highway & Trucking Accidents
  More than 30 years experience handling major Auto Accident, Truck Accident (Commercial Trucks & Big Rig Tractor Trailer), Motorcycle Accident & Highway Design cases.  We have a proven record of winning large recoveries in major cases. 

• Medical & Hospital Malpractice
  Extensive statewide experience handling medical and hospital malpractice cases of all types, including: surgical errors, hospital errors, drug and laboratory errors, failure to properly diagnose and treat breast cancer and other forms of cancer, birth injuries, Erb's Palsy, brain injuries, orthopedics, radiology, gynecology & obstetrics, neurology, dentistry, chiropractic, nursing home negligence and other areas.  Mr. Costello is also fully experienced with the specialized arbitration system which applies to cases involving the Kaiser Health Plan system.

Don Costello has over 30 years of experience in handling all types of major personal injury and wrongful death cases.  Cases he has handled have been reported in numerous California and national publications, including the San Jose Mercury News, the San Francisco Recorder, the Los Angeles Daily Journal,  the National Law Journal, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.  He has been interviewed on local and national television, written and lectured on legal topics and has taught trial practice skills to attorneys from throughout the United States.

A distinguishing characteristic of our practice is that we accept and handle only a very limited number of cases, generally handling not more than two or three active cases at a time.   We have been fortunate to receive many referrals of possible cases over the years (most of our cases have been referred to us by other attorneys).  We handle a small number of carefully selected cases and devote complete attention, and our best efforts, to each.  We study the facts and law thoroughly and understand that each client, and the effect of their injuries, is unique.

Fees are based upon the amount of the successful recovery
