  Todd Slaughter

  During his 40 years of experience, Todd has handled hundreds of cases involving people who were seriously injured, people who lost loved ones and people whose lives were forever changed. As a trial lawyer, Todd has represented clients injured from automobile accidents, big-rig commercial vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, construction site accidents, forklift accidents, defective products, dangerous roadways, and fires. His clients have suffered catastrophic injuries including paralysis, traumatic brain damage, painful and disabling spinal conditions, amputations, burns, disfigurement and wrongful death. These cases have given him insight into the challenges that injury and disability cause that makes it easier for him to communicate with the clients about what they are experiencing and the road ahead. For Todd, his biggest achievement is the respect and acceptance he continues to receive from his fellow practitioners and judges after more than 40 years of practice. Todd is an active member of his community. Over the years, he has been a strong supporter of youth athletics. He was responsible for organizing and inspiring a group of community volunteers to build six youth baseball/softball fields in Redding. For this, Todd was honored with the “Shan Fellow” award given by the Redding Rotary Club Foundation, an award to non-Rotarians in recognition of their significant contribution to the betterment of their community.
