Hurt Because of Someone Else's Fault? We Fight for What You're Owed.
Car and truck accidents, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents, slip and fall, workplace injuries, and wrongful death. We represent injured people and their families throughout Southern California, in English and Spanish.
Car & Truck Accidents
Los Angeles has some of the busiest roads in the country, and accidents happen every day. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, a drunk driver, or a commercial truck, the insurance company's goal is to pay you as little as possible. Our goal is to make sure you're treated fairly.
What to Do After an Accident
- Call 911 and get medical attention, even if you feel fine
- Take photos of the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries
- Get the other driver's information and contact info for any witnesses
- Don't admit fault or give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company
- Call our attorney before accepting any settlement
What you may be able to recover
Medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering.
Motorcycle & Pedestrian Accidents
Riders and pedestrians have almost no protection in a crash, and they're often blamed first, even when the driver was at fault. Insurance companies use that bias to pay less. We push back with evidence, not assumptions.
What to Do After an Accident
- Call 911 and get medical attention right away
- Take photos of the scene, the vehicle, your gear, and your injuries
- Get the driver's information and contact info for any witnesses
- Keep your helmet and damaged gear, since they can be important evidence
- Don't give a recorded statement to the driver's insurance company before talking to our attorney
What you may be able to recover
Medical bills, lost wages, damaged property, and pain and suffering.
Slip & Fall
Property owners and businesses have a responsibility to keep their spaces safe. When a wet floor, broken stairs, poor lighting, or an uneven sidewalk causes you to fall and get hurt, the owner may be responsible for your injuries.
What to Do After a Fall
- Get medical attention right away
- Report the fall to the store manager or property owner and ask for a copy of the report
- Take photos of what caused the fall before it's cleaned up or fixed
- Keep the shoes and clothes you were wearing
- Get names and contact info of anyone who saw it happen
What you may be able to recover
Medical bills, lost wages, future care costs, and pain and suffering.
Workplace Injuries
Getting hurt on the job can put your income and your family at risk. You have rights, no matter what your employer tells you. In some cases, you may also have a claim against a third party, like an equipment manufacturer or a contractor, in addition to workers' compensation.
What to Do After a Workplace Injury
- Report the injury to your employer in writing as soon as possible
- Get medical treatment and tell the doctor it happened at work
- Write down what happened, when, and who saw it
- Keep copies of all medical records and paperwork
- Talk to our attorney before signing anything
What you may be able to recover
Medical care, lost wages, and, in third-party cases, pain and suffering.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one because of someone else's carelessness is a pain no family should have to face. No amount of money can replace the person you lost, but holding the responsible party accountable can help protect your family's future. We handle these cases with care and respect.
Who May Be Able to File
- Spouses and domestic partners
- Children
- Other family members who depended on the person financially
- Every family's situation is different, so call us to talk through yours
What you may be able to recover
Funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, and the loss of your loved one's love, care, and guidance.
Don't Wait Too Long
California has strict deadlines for injury claims. In most cases you have two years from the date of the injury, and claims against a government agency can have a deadline as short as six months. The sooner you call, the more we can do to protect your case.
Don't See Your Situation Listed?
If you were hurt because of someone else's carelessness, call us. We'll listen to what happened and tell you honestly whether we can help.
