The details of this case are Confidential

When our client went shopping at an art store, a forklift came around a corner and struck her from behind. At first, the defense stated their top offer on the case was $60,000. Knowing our client deserved much more, we filed a lawsuit against the art store and began litigating the case. In discovery, we were able to get the art store to admit that its driver was negligent, that its driver struck our client form behind, that the forklift did not have any lights or sirens on at the time of the incident, and most importantly, that our client was not comparatively at fault for the incident. Our team guided our client through all of the medical care that she needed and we were able to prove the seriousness of her injuries. Our client is thrilled with the result and we are so happy that we were able to help improve her life through her medical care and her settlement!

Our young client went over to a friend’s house to hang out. The friend’s parents were not home, however, the older step-brother was. The step-brother gave our client drugs and our client began to overdose.

Rather than call an ambulance, the step-brother put our client in a cold shower and left him there for several hours. Ultimately, our young client died in this tragic event. We immediately made a claim against the homeowner’s insurance policy, however, it was denied.

The homeowner’s insurance company argued that the step-brother’s actions were intentional and therefore not covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy.

We carefully read the homeowner’s insurance policy and realized that the step-brother’s failure to render aid to our client (i.e. call an ambulance) was negligent, and therefore covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy.

Ultimately, after several policy limits demands, the insurance company paid the full policy limits of $1,500,000 to our deserving clients, the parents of the young boy.

Our client was driving down the road when he was unexpectedly hit from behind and pushed into the vehicle in front of him. As a result of the impact, his head was thrown backwards into the headrest and then jolted forwards.

This caused him to sustain an injury to his neck. Our law firm fought hard and kept the pressure on the insurance company to do the right thing and pay our client the full policy limits to settle the case. After conducting an extensive investigation, we secured critical evidence that demonstrated the seriousness of the crash and how much the injury affected our client’s life.

We continued putting pressure on the insurance company with multiple demands, and ultimately they caved in and paid the policy limits. We are so happy for our wonderful client as he will be walking away with a very large amount of money in his pocket to make his life more comfortable moving forward!

Our client exited her vehicle and slipped and fell in a parking lot that was improperly constructed and poorly maintained. The parking lot had multiple defects that resulted from the neglect of the property owner.

When combined, the defects in the parking lot constituted a dangerous condition and trap that caused our client to slip and fall and sustain significant injuries.

During litigation, we were able to establish that the property owner should have known about the defects in the parking lot, and therefore should have repaired the defects, had they inspected the property like they are required to do in California.

Through the use of photographs, written discovery questions, and our client’s deposition testimony, we established that the landowner failed to inspect the parking lot, failed to make repairs in the parking lot, and failed to warn pedestrians of the dangerous condition in the parking lot.

Further, we were able to prove that all of our client’s injuries were caused by the fall, despite the defense arguments that some of her injuries were caused by subsequent incidents. We are very proud of this result and honored to represent this wonderful client.

Our clients were traveling down the freeway at night when a truck moved into their lane and struck their vehicle. This caused their vehicle to spin around and get thrown about inside of the car.

Our clients sustained injuries to their hip, back, and neck. After helping our clients get the medical care they need, we got to know them, learned their story, learned about their loss of earnings and the way this affected their life.

We then sent a very detailed demand package to the insurance company for the policy limits of $1,000,000. After reviewing our demand package, the insurance company paid the $1,000,000 policy limits without us having to file a lawsuit!

Our clients were extremely happy to receive the maximum amount of insurance money possible from the at-fault party!

Our clients were traveling on a freeway when a semi-truck crashed into the back driver’s side of their vehicle. The damage to our clients’ vehicle was very minor- the only part of the car that was damaged was the back left rim and wheel.

The defense first tried to say that the crash was too small to cause serious injuries. Then the defense tried to say that the medical treatment our clients received was not reasonable and necessary.

Then the defense tried to say that all of our clients’ injuries existed before the crash and therefore weren’t caused by the crash. We did not buy these arguments and fought full force to make sure our clients were fully compensated for their injuries and pain and suffering.

Sometimes the defense tries to make every argument under the sun to prevent injury victims from getting fully compensated, but we don’t fall for that. We fought extremely hard and were able to secure a settlement for the fully policy limits of $1,000,000 for our clients.

Our clients were extremely happy with their settlement and they could not believe how much money we were able to get them!

Our clients were traveling on a freeway late at night when a semi-truck moved into their lane, struck their vehicle, and caused it to spin around 360 degrees. We alleged that our client, who was driving the vehicle, sustained a serious injury to his low back, requiring surgery.

We also alleged that our client sustained a traumatic brain injury.

The defense disputed the need for surgery on the low back. The defense also said our client could not have sustained a traumatic brain injury because he didn’t hit his head on anything inside of his car.

We fought back, hired the best experts, and were able to prove that our client’s low back injury was legitimate and serious, and that he need surgery because of the crash, not from preexisting injuries.

We were also able to prove that traumatic brain injuries don’t require you to hit your head.

We were able to use the medical literature to our advantage, which says that your brain can rattle around inside of your skull and be damaged by the impact of your brain against the inner wall of your skull, which is called a coup contrecoup injury.

After battling it out with the defense, we were able to secure a settlement for the full policy limits of $1,000,000.

Our client was so happy with his settlement, he was literally in a state of shock and disbelief! It was an honor to represent him!

Our client was driving on the freeway when she was suddenly sideswiped by a truck and pushed into the center divider. The crash resulted in our client having neck surgery.

Initially, the defense denied the claim, arguing that our client changed lanes into the truck’s lane and therefore caused the collision. We believed our client’s version of events so we filed a lawsuit and began litigating the case.

After conducting written discovery and depositions, we were able to get the defense to admit that our client did not change lanes and that the truck driver swerved into her car and side-swiped her. After these admissions were made, the defense paid our client $950,000.

Our client was an MTA bus driver that was t-boned by a tow truck that ran a red light. Our client ultimately had shoulder surgery.

Our client’s medical bills were approximately $54,000. Initially, both parties attended mediation and the insurance company only offered $50,000 so we got up and walked out.

We continued to litigate the case for another two months, making countless policy limit demands, hammering the defense with discovery requests, and setting several depositions. We ultimately gave the insurance company 21 days to pay their policy limits.

Sure enough, at 7:30 a.m. on the 21st day, the insurance company advised us that they would pay the full amount. Our deserving client will now be much more comfortable as he retires from the MTA.

Our client was traveling down the road when a rideshare driver made an illegal U-turn and struck the driver’s side of his vehicle.

Our client sustained injuries to his low back and left knee, which struck the driver’s side door. At first, our client was reluctant to move forward with the treatment recommended by his doctors, which was totally understandable.

After some time passed, he realized that his pain was not getting better, in fact it was only getting worse. Our client went back to the doctor and realized that he needed to follow through with the doctor’s recommendations.

Our client went through additional medical care, which ultimately resolved his low back pain. Our client was feeling much, much better when it came time to settle his case. When settlement negotiations began, the defense tried to say his medical expenses were too high, and that some of the medical care was unnecessary.

We disagreed and fought hard to get all of the medical expenses paid, and further, to get our client a lot of pain and suffering compensation as well. Our client was extremely satisfied with his settlement!

Our client was driving down the street when a government official rear ended her vehicle. She sustained injuries to her chest, neck, and low back.

When the police arrived at the scene, our client stated that she was totally fine and it was recorded on the police officer’s body cam footage.

Despite this recording, we helped our client get all of the medical care she needed, filed a lawsuit against the responsible government entity, and litigated the case heavily. Ultimately, we were able to obtain this incredible settlement for our wonderful client!

Our client was driving down the road late one evening on his motorcycle. As he drove down the road, he drove over a pothole that was not properly filled in, causing him to twist and fall over on his motorcycle, landing on his left foot.

The motorcycle crushed his left foot and he experienced horrible pain and several broken bones in his foot. Our client was not rushed to the hospital, but ultimately had a surgery on his foot to fix the broken bones.

Later on, our client received a few injections in his foot which helped improve the pain and discomfort he was experiencing. This case was against a governmental entity and two private companies.

We ultimately determined that one of the private companies created the dangerous pothole and didn’t follow instructions properly when they did their part of the road repaving project. Accordingly, we fought hard against the company and made sure they paid our client all the money he deserved!

Our client was extremely grateful for the settlement because he never expected to get anything since the pothole wasn’t extremely large. We were honored to represent him and fight to get him a wonderful settlement!

Early in the morning, our client parked outside of his work and was retrieving his lunch from the back of his truck. Suddenly and unexpectedly, a lunch truck swerved into him, pinning him between the two trucks.

Our client ultimately had neck surgery. Our client had another attorney before us and the claim was denied by the lunch truck’s insurance company. The defense was arguing that our client opened his door into the lunch truck and therefore caused this collision.

They were offering $0. The other law firm then dropped the case and we took over the handling of it. We filed a lawsuit and conducted extensive discovery. We took the deposition of the lunch truck driver and got her to admit that she wasn’t paying attention and swerved into our client.

We also worked with a top orthopedic surgeon in Los Angeles in order to determine our client’s need for future medical care. After several policy limits demands, the lunch truck’s insurance company paid the policy limits of $750,000 to our client.

Our client was rear-ended. Our client’s car had very minimal property damage. In fact, the damage was hardly visible to the naked eye. The defense was denying that our client could be injured based on the minor damage.

What the defense didn’t know was that our client had pre-existing injuries to her low back, which made her more susceptible to injury.

We used California law to our advantage- law that is designed to protect people with preexisting conditions- and argued that our client’s pre-existing condition was exacerbated (made worse) by the crash, and that they were responsible for all of the damage to our client, despite her pre-existing injuries.

Ultimately, the defense realized our interpretation of the law was correct, and they paid our client $550,000.

Our client was working at a cooking school when he slipped and fell on grease that dripped onto the staircase. Our client injured his foot and ankle and ultimately had ankle surgery.

The defense argued that they were not responsible because they didn’t know how the grease got there and they didn’t have any notice that the grease was on the stairs.

We discovered that the cooking school did not have sound policies and procedures to ensure that the property was safe. Ultimately, the defense paid our client $450,000.

Our client was walking her small dog when a large dog suddenly ran from across the street and began viciously attacking her dog. In an effort to save her small dog, our client tried to pull the large dog off of her dog.

As she was trying to save her small dog, the large dog bit her leg, puncturing her skin. After our client signed up with our law firm, we immediately referred her to the best neurologist to treat her injuries. Initially, the defense only offered $20,000 and argued that our client was partially at fault for intervening in the dog fight.

We strongly believed that our client was entirely fault-free and we fought hard, repeatedly demanding the policy limits.

The defense slowly increased their offer to $30,000, then to $50,000. They refused to pay any more. After writing several more strategically-crafted policy limits demand letters, the defense finally caved and paid the $300,000 policy limits.

Our client was traveling on Pacific Coast Highway when another vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly made a left turn into his van. Our client’s van sustained significant damage.

Our client sustained injuries to his shoulder and back.

The defense immediately tried to argue that our client’s injuries pre-existed the accident and were not caused by the accident. Through extensive discovery, retaining the best experts, and using our effective litigation strategies, we were able to prove that our client’s injuries were caused by the subject accident.

We ultimately recovered the maximum amount available under the insurance policy, $580,000.

Our client was traveling on a motorcycle when he was hit by a delivery driver. We were able to prove that the delivery driver failed to yield when she left the stop sign and caused the accident.

Despite our client’s pre-existing neck pain and a prior workers’ compensation claim for a neck injury, we were able to secure a large settlement on his behalf.

Our client was traveling down the street when a truck made a wide turn and struck the passenger side of her vehicle. Our client sustained a neck injury and had two neck injections.

The defense argued that our client wasn’t seriously injured, that it wasn’t a major crash, and that her medical bills were inflated. They initially offered $75,000. Ultimately, after filing a lawsuit and showing we were not going to back down, we were able to get them to fully and fairly compensate our client.

Our client went to a store to buy flowers for a family member. As he was walking to his car, he tripped and fell over a parking stop that was painted the same color as the surrounding parking stall lines.

During discovery, we acquired the design plans for the building and we were able to prove that the construction company placed the parking stop in an area they knew people would walk, and also, that they improperly painted it the same color as the lines next to it, creating visual confusion.

Although the defense originally argued they had zero responsibility, we got them to pay good money to our client who injured his leg in this trip and fall.

Our client was traveling down the street when another driver made a left turn right in front of him. At first, the opposing insurance company tried to blame our client and said he was traveling in a right-turn-only lane and wouldn’t even pay to repair his car.

We went out to the scene, took photographs and measurements, and were able to prove that our client was not at fault and that the other driver was 100% at fault. We obtained the policy limits of $500,000 for our client shortly thereafter.
