Welcome to the website of Hillguard Injury Lawyers (the "Firm," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using this site, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms of Use. Please read these Terms carefully before using the site.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Hillguard Injury Lawyers website (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use the Site. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Description of Services
The Site provides general information about Hillguard Injury Lawyers and the legal services we offer in California, including personal injury and employment law. Content on the Site is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or a solicitation to enter into an attorney-client relationship.
3. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Use of the Site, including submitting a contact form, calling our office through a number listed on the Site, sending email, or otherwise communicating with the Firm or any of its attorneys, does NOT create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is only formed when both you and Hillguard Injury Lawyers execute a written engagement agreement that expressly states our representation of you.
Until that agreement is signed, do not send the Firm any confidential or sensitive information, because we cannot guarantee its confidentiality before a formal engagement is in place.
4. Not Legal Advice
The information on the Site is for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Laws and regulations change over time, and the application of the law depends on the specific facts of each case. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any content on the Site without first seeking legal counsel from a qualified attorney admitted in the relevant jurisdiction.
5. Attorney Advertising
Material on this Site may be considered attorney advertising under the rules of the State Bar of California and other jurisdictions. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Any testimonials, case results, or settlement amounts referenced on the Site are illustrative of past results in specific cases and are not a guarantee or prediction of the outcome of any other case.
6. Permitted Use of the Site
You may view, download, and print content from the Site solely for your personal, non-commercial use, provided you do not modify the content and you retain all copyright and proprietary notices. You may not:
• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site, our servers, or any associated systems
• Use any automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Site without our prior written permission
• Interfere with the operation of the Site, including by introducing malware or excessive load
• Reproduce, distribute, or publicly display content from the Site for commercial purposes without our express written consent
7. Intellectual Property
All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, images, audio clips, video, software, and the design and arrangement of the Site — is owned by Hillguard Injury Lawyers or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing on the Site grants you any license to use any trademark or copyrighted work without our prior written consent.
8. User Submissions
If you submit any information to us through the Site (such as a contact form), you represent that the information is accurate, that you have the right to submit it, and that the submission does not violate any law or third-party right. We may use any feedback, comments, or suggestions you provide for any purpose, without obligation to you.
Submitting information through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship (see Section 3), and information you transmit through the Site is not subject to attorney-client privilege until a formal engagement is in place.
9. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We provide these links solely for your convenience and do not endorse, monitor, or control any third-party site. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or any other aspect of any third-party website. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that site's terms and policies.

12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hillguard Injury Lawyers and its attorneys, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
13. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
14. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be reformed to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the original intent.
