Disha Bhagwat is a passionate California personal injury attorney who is determined to deliver justice to those who have been wronged.
Professional
Having worked as a versatile defense litigator, Disha formerly defended billion-dollar insurance companies in diverse practice areas including personal injury, catastrophic injury, complex-construction defect cases, and complex-tort claims. As a defense litigator, Disha successfully assisted in limiting insurance companies’ liability exposure to the tune of millions of dollars per claim.
Disha grew tired of turning a blind eye to the injustice that victims suffered in these cases. Her moral conscience, strong sense of empathy, and passion for justice ignited the need to represent real people facing real loss, as opposed to advocating for billion-dollar insurance companies that are indifferent to the harsh realities of victims’ suffering. Disha’s prior experience as a defense litigator gives her the added advantage of anticipating defense strategies. Disha strategically uses this knowledge to keep her clients one step ahead, navigating their cases toward the best possible outcomes.
