Robert B. Bale is a partner with Dreyer Babich Buccola Wood Campora, LLP. He joined the firm in 2002, and his focus has been on representing plaintiffs in personal injury matters. Robert Bale brings a wealth of life experience to the practice of personal injury law.
For over a decade before he started practicing law, Bob served as the vice president of marketing for a large, privately held corporation. In that capacity, he gained valuable knowledge about the ways that private and public businesses work. That background has been especially helpful in his prosecution of personal injury actions against corporate wrongdoers.
Over the course of the past three years ,Bob and firm namesake Roger Dreyer have obtained back-to-back verdicts in three cases that have garnered national media attention. In Strange v. Entercom, a Sacramento jury returned a verdict in excess of $17 million for the wrongful death of Jennifer Strange, the young mother of three children who died after participating in a radio contest to see who could drink the most water during a popular morning show.
This was the largest personal injury verdict for a wrongful death in the history of that county. In Bell v. MasterCraft, a Butte County jury awarded over $32 million to two young women struck by the propeller of an X-45 wakeboard boat, the highest amount ever in that county.
In Mauro v. Ford Motor Company, another Sacramento jury awarded over $20 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages for the wrongful death of one passenger and personal injuries to two others, another record verdict.
Robert currently serves as one of two vice presidents on the board of directors for the Capitol City Trial Lawyers Association. He is also on the board of governors of Consumer Attorneys of California. Both organizations are dedicated to advancing and safeguarding the rights of injured persons to trial by jury.
Robert is also an emeritus member of the Anthony M. Kennedy Inns of Court. He has been nationally recognized for his contributions to that organization on numerous occasions.
