Katie Shank
Attorney

Katie M. Shank is a California plaintiff-side injury attorney devoted to representing individuals and families against insurance companies and institutional defendants. She has experience handling injury matters that include federal workers’ compensation claims before Administrative Law Judges, giving her a practical understanding of how insurers and agencies analyze liability, medical causation, and damages. She uses this perspective to build well-documented claims, anticipate defense arguments, and pursue full and fair compensation for her clients.

Ms. Shank’s practice includes guiding injured clients through every stage of the claims process, from initial intake and investigation to settlement negotiations and, when necessary, formal hearings or litigation. She regularly works with medical providers and other experts to develop strong evidentiary support, and she is skilled at translating dense insurance and administrative language into clear, actionable advice. Known for her organized, client-centered approach, she prioritizes frequent communication, realistic expectations, and compassionate advocacy for people whose lives have been disrupted by serious injury.

Originally from Chicago, Katie has traded snowy winters for sandy beaches and loves living in San Diego with her son. In her free time, she loves cooking, exercise, yoga on Sunset Cliffs, attending her son’s teeball games and spending time with family and friends. She has completed the Chicago Marathon three times and would love to complete a triathalon in the future
