James Bergener is a founding partner of Sweet James Accident Attorneys. He focuses his practice on representing individuals who have been injured as a result of accidents or alleged negligence and has spent his legal career working in personal injury and related civil matters.
Before founding Sweet James, James practiced representing insurance carriers in personal injury and workers’ compensation cases. That experience provided him with insight into how claims are evaluated and defended, which he now applies when representing injured individuals. His work often involves evaluating claims, developing case strategy, and guiding matters through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation, depending on the circumstances of each case.
James has experience handling a wide range of personal injury matters, from more straightforward claims to complex cases involving significant injuries. Outcomes in any legal matter depend on the specific facts and circumstances involved, and past results do not predict future outcomes.
James has also been involved in legal education and public commentary. He has served as a guest lecturer and speaker on topics related to personal injury law and law practice management and has provided legal commentary on radio programs in Southern California.
James is based in Newport Beach, California, and is licensed to practice law in California.
