Marjorie Heinrich has nearly thirty years of experience representing the interests of both Plaintiffs and Defendants in all facets of personal injury and employment litigation. She founded Heinrich Law, PC on the principle that professionalism and courtesy go hand in hand with maximizing a client’s recovery. Heinrich worked as a defense attorney for more than twenty years, eventually being honored as 2007 Defense Attorney of the year by the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association. Since 2008, Ms. Heinrich has specialized in representing individuals who have been injured, often catastrophically, by the fault of others. Having represented both individuals and insurance companies for decades, Ms. Heinrich brings a unique perspective to both claims resolution and litigation. Her background as a defense attorney allows her to evaluate and resolve many claims without having to file a lawsuit, an approach that saves clients time, money, and the stress of all-out litigation. For cases that must be litigated, Ms. Heinrich believes in pairing tough, aggressive advocacy with collegiality. This approach encourages an even, fair, and just process, where the client is not caught up in a “war” between lawyers’ egos. Prior to forming Heinrich Law, PC, Ms. Heinrich and her partner, Ethan Wimert, worked together for six years as the managing attorney and senior associate of The Dolan Law Firm’s East Bay office. During that time, they built a proven track record of success as a team, regularly obtaining six and seven figure resolutions on behalf of their clients, who have included: pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, motorists, and elderly individuals who have suffered abuse at the hands of those trusted to care for them. Heinrich and Mr. Wimert struck out on their own together in 2015, resolved to build a firm that puts the individual needs of its clients first.

Last week we shared a case where video footage proved what happened in a crosswalk crash. Today, the lesson behind it.

Video evidence can disappear fast. Many camera systems record over old footage, sometimes within days or weeks, depending on the system.

After an accident, if you can:
✔️ Note nearby cameras
✔️ Photograph the scene
✔️ Get witness contact info
✔️ See a doctor
✔️ Call an attorney early, so we can ask businesses to preserve their footage

You don't have to figure this out alone. If you or someone you love has been hurt, we're happy to talk. The consultation is free.

A rideshare driver told police my client "suddenly stepped in front of his car."

She was in a marked crosswalk, with the right of way. She ended up with serious fractures in both legs.

What the driver didn't count on? Cameras.

We found a private camera system installed by local merchants and got the footage. It showed exactly what our client said happened, and it looked nothing like his version. A witness at the scene backed her up too.

With the video, her medical records, and the story of how this injury changed her life, the insurance company acknowledged its driver was at fault. We settled for the full $1,000,000 policy limits. No lawsuit. No trial.

Q: Can an insurance company watch me after an injury?

A: Yes. In serious injury cases, insurance companies and defense lawyers sometimes hire private investigators to follow the injured person and film them in public places. The goal is simple: find a few seconds of video that make you look healthier than you are. A clip can be played out of context and used to argue that your injuries are exaggerated.

For two decades, Marjorie sat on the other side of the table. She's seen how these cases get handled from the inside, which gives Heinrich Law insights that our competitors don't have.

I recently settled a near head-on collision case involving a client who suffered a severe wrist injury.

The case dragged on for years because the defense refused to accept responsibility for their client’s actions—and Heinrich Law refused to back down.

Along the way, one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen in a personal injury case happened: the defense hired a private investigator to secretly film my client while she was working out at her private gym.

And the camera? Hidden in the investigator’s water bottle.

Yes. A camera. In a water bottle. So messed up!

Of course, my client was doing absolutely nothing wrong. She was simply trying to stay active while carefully navigating her workouts around her horribly injured wrist.

After the case finally resolved, my client posted this incredibly kind review:

"Heinrich Law handled my case for a little over two years, and I truly could not have asked for a better group of people to work with. I mainly worked with Marjorie, but I also had contact with other members of her team, and every single person I interacted with was wonderful. Marjorie especially went out of her way to make me feel safe, supported, and understood throughout the entire process. She was always kind, patient, and never made me feel judged even with all the silly questions I probably asked along the way! What stood out to me most is that they truly are just good people who genuinely want to help. I'm so grateful that I chose Heinrich Law to represent me during a very difficult period!"

So happy this matter is finally behind this very sweet woman.

California Dog Bite and Dog Knock-Down Claims and How to Avoid Them

Part of Heinrich Law's mission is to provide the community with safety tips to prevent serious injury. Here are some suggestions from a recent lecture Marjorie gave about avoiding dog lawsuits.

- Don't buy a breed with a known history of causing trouble
- Avoid dogs with a history of abuse or aggressive behavior
- Hire a personal dog trainer
- Never allow your dog off leash in public
- Muzzle your dog if you're concerned it may bite, even on leash
- Keep dog's snout away from babies, children, or faces
- Don't purchase a dog excluded from your insurance policy
- If your dog has bitten before — be ULTRA careful
- Dog walker liability

True or false, California edition:

A dog owner isn't liable for the first time their dog bites someone, because they had no way to know the dog was dangerous.

A) True - that's the "one free bite" rule
B) False - California is a strict liability state
C) True, but only if the dog is on a leash
D) Depends on the breed

Pedestrian v. car

Ms. Jain was a pedestrian who was struck at high speed by a drunk driver in a parking lot in Los Angeles, CA. Upon impact, she was thrown up onto the car and then to the ground, where she struck her head and suffered skull fractures and internal bleeding. She required surgeries, extensive and expensive medical treatment, and her life was completely upended.



How We Won:

As an expert pedestrian accident law firm, our first step was to establish liability: We proved the drunk driver was clearly at fault for our client’s devasting injuries. Our next step was to identify all potential sources of recovery – all insurance policies that might provide compensation to our client. Finally, we focused on educating the insurance carriers regarding the seriousness of our client’s injuries and their impact on our client’s life.

A man accepted a $699,999 settlement and signed the release the insurer handed him. He later sued that insurer for acting in bad faith and lost.

Why? The release he signed wiped out his right to bring any future claim connected to the accident.

This story represents just one of the many strategies insurance companies use to force claimants to accept low settlements. Though signing a release to settle a claim is common, providing the insurance company with a full release that absolves it from future claims related to an accident is not required. Few consumers realize full releases are not required to claim an insurance settlement, and some attorneys don’t realize this either.
