<h2>Practice Summary: </h2>
<p align="left"><b>Personal Injury Focus</b><br>
Dr. Sabatasso has worked a mixture of plaintiff as well as defense cases,
mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area, but also throughout the State of California.
His initial work was personal injury in the 1970s and eventually into Worker’s
Compensation and then returning to personal injury. Worker’s Compensation is
most challenging because the opposing side hires private investigators to prove
the alternative view. These cases are also rebutted by psychiatrists and psychologists
of the opposing side. They are also held to a higher standard of proof than tort cases.</p>

Consultative skills also match the economic resources of the firms, ranging from limited
to exhaustive.</p>
