About Erich
Erich Tomkinson is an attorney practicing in California who concentrates his work at a firm that handles personal injury matters. He took the path into law that leads most litigators: study, bar admission, and courtroom exposure. Over time he moved into civil litigation where claims over injury and loss became his primary business.
Tomkinson’s early professional years included standard litigation roles. He handled pleadings, discovery and motion work that shaped his approach to case preparation. He also spent time in client-facing positions, explaining legal options and managing expectations. Those experiences supplied him with a practical sense of how cases evolve from the initial demand through settlement talks or trial.
He maintains memberships in professional associations, participating in meetings and continuing legal education. Those affiliations keep him current on procedural changes and evolving case law in California. He has used that ongoing education to refine trial strategies and adjust negotiation tactics when facts or law shift.
Tomkinson’s practice concentrates on claims arising from accidents and negligence. He represents individuals who allege harm from motor vehicle collisions, premises hazards, and other incidents that produce physical injury or financial loss. In that work he handles drafts of complaints, coordinates with medical providers and experts, prepares witness statements, and argues dispositive motions when necessary. He has experience taking matters through settlement and, when cases require, to jury trial.
Today he is part of Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, Inc., where he continues to handle personal injury cases on behalf of clients across California. He spends his days assessing new claims, meeting with clients, and guiding cases through discovery and settlement negotiations. His current practice focuses on representing people who have suffered physical injury and seeking recovery for medical costs, lost earnings, and related damages.
