Headquartered in San Diego with offices throughout the United States, Tyson & Mendes LLP is an AV-rated litigation firm specializing in insurance defense, with more than 120 attorneys in eight offices across California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, and Florida.
Our trial lawyers take on the biggest cases against the most successful plaintiff's lawyers in the country - and win. Over our 15-year history, we have established ourselves as a leader on damages, and are at the forefront of the multi-billion dollar "billed vs. paid" medical expense issue.
We are best known for winning the landmark Howell v. Hamilton Meats California Supreme Court case, which forever changed the litigation landscape by significantly impacting the way damages are argued. The Howell case held an injured plaintiff is only allowed to recover the actual amount paid by health insurance to cover medical bills - not the inflated figure doctors and hospitals use to bill health insurance companies.
Everyone we represent has created something worth insuring. We believe it is our responsibility to protect what our clients have built.
