Silva Injury Law, Inc. is a California-based law firm that focuses only on personal injury cases. This means they help people who’ve been hurt in accidents—whether it’s a car crash, a dog bite, a bad fall, or something more serious.
The firm was founded by Michael Joe Silva, an attorney who grew up in a small California farming town. He built this firm with one goal: helping injured people get back on their feet without all the stress and confusion that usually comes with legal stuff. His team shares that same goal. They treat clients like people—not numbers—and really care about what happens to them.
Silva Injury Law serves clients across the Central Valley and other parts of California, including Modesto, Turlock, Merced, Manteca, Los Banos, and surrounding areas.
What They Stand For
Silva Injury Law’s motto is “Restoring the Injured.” And they truly live by that. They believe in doing more than just handling paperwork or going after money—they want to help people heal and get back to living their lives.
They take time to listen to every client. They offer guidance, help with doctor visits, and make sure each person feels supported through the whole process. And they work hard to get fair compensation for everything someone’s been through—from physical injuries to emotional stress.
What They Do Best
Silva Injury Law focuses 100% on personal injury cases. That’s it. Because they’re not distracted by other areas of law, they know this one really well. That’s a big win for clients, because it means their team has deep experience handling every part of an injury case.
Here’s a closer look at the types of cases they take on:
Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of the most common cases they handle. Whether you were rear-ended at a red light or hit by a distracted driver on the highway, Silva Injury Law can help.
They’ll guide you through:
Getting medical help
Fixing or replacing your vehicle
Dealing with the other driver’s insurance
Gathering witness statements
Recovering lost wages
Getting fair compensation for pain and suffering
Even if you feel “mostly okay,” injuries can show up days later. It’s always a smart idea to talk to someone who knows the law.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes are often more dangerous than car crashes because there’s less protection for the rider. That means more serious injuries, longer recovery times, and bigger medical bills.
Silva Injury Law works with injured riders to build strong cases, even when the other side tries to blame the motorcyclist. They make sure you’re treated fairly and get the help you need to recover—physically and financially.
Truck Accidents
Accidents involving semi-trucks or delivery trucks are complex. These cases often include company policies, federal regulations, and big insurance companies. It’s a lot to take on alone.
That’s why having a team like Silva Injury Law matters. They know how to investigate trucking cases, collect important documents, and stand up to big companies.

Uber, Lyft, and Rideshare Injuries
Getting injured in an Uber or Lyft ride can be confusing. Who’s responsible—the driver or the company? These cases involve special insurance policies and sometimes multiple parties.
Silva Injury Law helps people hurt in rideshare accidents understand their rights and file claims that actually work. They’ll walk you through the process without all the complicated jargon.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
If you were walking or biking and got hit by a car, the injuries can be serious. And it’s not always easy to prove who was at fault. The team at Silva Injury Law works to gather clear evidence and make sure your side of the story is heard.
They’ve helped many injured cyclists and pedestrians recover money for medical care, lost work, and long-term pain.
Slip and Fall Cases
Slip and fall injuries happen more often than people think. They can happen in stores, restaurants, parking lots, and even apartment complexes. If a floor was wet or something wasn’t repaired properly, the property owner may be responsible.
Silva Injury Law investigates what happened, gets photos and security footage, and helps prove that the accident wasn’t your fault.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Dog bites can lead to infection, scars, emotional trauma, and even surgery. California law says dog owners are responsible if their pet bites someone—whether it’s the first time or not.
Silva Injury Law helps dog bite victims get treatment, pay medical bills, and recover damages for pain or emotional distress.
Wrongful Death Cases
When someone passes away because of someone else’s actions, the family has the right to file a wrongful death claim. These are emotional cases and need to be handled with care and sensitivity.
Silva Injury Law works closely with grieving families to help them get justice and financial support for things like funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional pain of losing a loved one.
A Client’s Story
"After getting hit by a driver who ran a red light, I wasn’t sure what to do. My neck and back were hurting, and I couldn’t go back to work right away. I contacted Silva Injury Law, and from the start, they were kind, professional, and patient. They helped me get the medical care
I needed and dealt with the insurance company so I didn’t have to. They even got me a great settlement that helped cover everything. I’m truly thankful for the way they treated me—with respect and compassion."— Carmen L., Turlock, CA
