Talk to the right people –
David Allen is passionate about helping
people who suffer injury. His grounding is in the insurance
industry. In his early 20s he became the youngest claims supervisor
for CNA insurance. David handled over 20,000 claims before
attending law school and developed strong insight as to how
insurance companies operate. When he attended law school he
focused on the courses which would assist him in representing
persons who suffered injury, disability or were being badly
treated by insurance companies. He was recognized for outstanding
ability in trial advocacy and helped the state of California
draft its policies on legal advertising.
To a large extent the passion David
Allen brings to representing people who suffer injury, disability
or who are attempting to get a fair recovery from their insurance
company arises from his child hood experience in Wisconsin.
His father was a mill worker with a
sixth grade education who suffered a severe back injury. He
saw him struggle with the injury throughout his life and saw
the difficulties he confronted in attempting to provide for
his family and carry on a normal life. Growing up in a working
class small town, he frequently witnessed the plight of people
around him attempting to get fair treatment when injured.
David Allen graduated from the University
of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, and did post graduate
work at Harvard Law School. After graduation from law school
he worked for another law firm exclusively handling personal
injury cases and taking them to trial. He founded David Allen
& Associates in 1980.
Today David Allen is the principal
attorney in a law firm that prides itself on bringing legal
help to people who confront difficulties arising from injury
or disability. He is married and lives in Sacramento, California
- the heart of the Golden State. He bicycles, lifts weights,
hikes, paints, makes speaking appearances discussing the law,
and - according to his wife- spends too much time working.
