About Us

“Health is the greatest of human blessings.” — Hippocrates

Jonathan Howell knew he wanted to help injured people after interning at a major injury law firm in Los Angeles.

Before that, he had worked as a computer programmer and intended to go to law school to work on legal/tech issues.

But that plan changed after he helped refinery workers injured by a large explosion. He would talk to their families about how the injuries affected the workers. The refinery had high-end lawyers doing everything they could to avoid responsibility. Jonathan felt a real sense of accomplishment when the case was resolved for the workers.

After that, Jonathan knew his calling was to help injured people or families that lost a loved one.

“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.” — Billy Graham

Health is one of our greatest assets and it is important that people are properly compensated when their health is unfairly and negatively affected.
