Hatch Law is a South Orange County trial practice built for serious injury and wrongful death cases. John Hatch has resolved more than 400 litigation matters and over 1,000 pre-litigation claims, recovering more than $50,000,000 for injured clients across California and Louisiana.
The areas below are not a list of services. They are the situations where preparation changes the outcome — where liability is disputed, where the injury is permanent, or where the insurer on the other side has counsel from the first day. Every one of them is built the same way: responsibility established, evidence preserved before it disappears, medical causation proved through treating providers, and damages documented to the full lifetime cost rather than the bills to date. That is what creates leverage, whether a case settles or is tried.
John Hatch has resolved more than 400 litigation cases and more than 1,000 pre-litigation cases, with results totalling more than $50,000,000 for injured clients.

The representative results above were resolved by John Hatch while he was the managing attorney at Injury Legal Center, P.C., where he started and grew the firm’s litigation practice. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is different and depends on its facts, injuries, available insurance, venue, liens, liability evidence, and causation proof.
