Catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation.
The firm represents clients throughout California in matters arising from motor-vehicle collisions, unsafe premises, and other negligent conduct. The practice is based in Glendale.
Selected categories of catastrophic-injury litigation.
The firm accepts a focused number of matters. Initial assessment considers liability, causation, available evidence, and the nature and extent of the claimed losses.
Commercial truck & motor-vehicle collisions
Claims arising from commercial-truck and passenger-vehicle collisions may require review of scene evidence, vehicle data, hours-of-service logs, maintenance records, hiring materials, and medical documentation.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Traumatic brain injury claims may involve changes in memory, judgment, work capacity, or independent living. The analysis can include medical records, neuropsychological testing, and testimony from people familiar with the client's condition before and after the injury.
Spinal cord injury
Spinal cord injury matters may require evidence concerning liability, prognosis, rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, attendant care, and other long-term needs.
Premises liability
Premises-liability claims depend on the condition of the property, ownership or control, notice, causation, and the nature and extent of the injury.
Wrongful death
California wrongful-death claims may be brought by eligible heirs and dependents. The analysis includes liability, economic losses, and the effects of the loss on each claimant.

About the founder →Questions about catastrophic-injury litigation.
What does it cost to hire the firm for a catastrophic injury or wrongful death matter?
If the firm schedules a consultation after initial review, it is free and confidential. If the firm offers representation, attorney-fee and case-cost responsibilities are explained in a written agreement before you sign anything.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of injury, but shorter deadlines can apply: claims against government entities require a formal claim within months, not years. The safest course is to talk to a lawyer promptly.
What is my case worth?
The potential value cannot be determined at the first meeting. It depends on liability, available insurance or other sources of recovery, the medical evidence, and the supported economic and non-economic losses. No outcome can be promised.
Will my case go to trial?
Many catastrophic injury matters resolve before trial, but accepted matters are prepared with litigation and trial requirements in view. Whether to accept a settlement offer remains the client's decision after consultation with counsel.
