One of the reasons why it is so critical to seek legal assistance in the wake of sustaining a brain injury is that the road to recovery from head trauma can be both long and costly. Whether you have sustained a significant concussion or an even more significant traumatic brain injury, you will likely need to take time off of work to recover and you will likely need follow-up medical care. The bills associated with these challenges may begin piling up before you’ve had a chance to process the full impact that your injury could have on your family’s finances. Exploring your legal options now can help to ensure that any costs incurred as a result of your brain injury will be covered by compensation that another negligent, reckless, or intentionally dangerous party owes you.

It can be intimidating to walk into a law office when a brain injury is keeping you from “thinking straight.” If you’re concerned that you aren’t yet in a position to process all of the information that you’ll need to make knowledgeable decisions about your legal situation, please bring a trusted loved one along to your consultation. That way, you can make these decisions – confidently – together.

Car accidents occur for a seemingly endless number of reasons. Some are obvious, including those caused by drivers whose blood alcohol level is illegally elevated at the time of the crash in question. However, some are not as obvious, including those caused – at least in part – by glitches in a vehicle’s electrical system. Because the causes of car accidents are complex and often hidden, it’s critically important to seek legal advice in the wake of a collision, even if you believe that you were at fault for the crash.

Our experienced legal team takes no detail for granted when investigating matters of causation and fault as they relate to car accidents. Our meticulous, client-focused approach to car accident injury victim representation helps to ensure that if you’re entitled to any kind(s) of compensation in the wake of your crash that you’ll be well-informed about opportunities to pursue that compensation. Whether we’re negotiating with insurance companies, filing a personal injury lawsuit, and/or filing a workers’ compensation claim on your behalf, our team will do everything in our power to secure the maximum amount of compensation to which you may be entitled as a result of your injuries.

It isn’t always easy to know whether a loved one is being neglected or abused while residing in a nursing home or long-term care facility. As a result, all too often, loved ones of residents refrain from speaking with an attorney about their suspicions because their concerns have yet to be confirmed. Know that your loved one, whether they remain capable of advocating for themselves ordinarily or not, may not be in a position to alert you to the fact that they are being mistreated, let alone halt the neglect or abuse that is endangering them.

If you suspect that your loved one is suffering harm in their long-term care facility, schedule a confidential, no-risk consultation with our firm to discuss your concerns. Doing so won’t obligate you to take action but it will allow you to receive an informed, objective assessment of what we believe may be going on with your loved one and about your rights under the law at this time. Speaking up now may prevent your loved one from additional suffering, which is a profound opportunity in and of itself.

Due to their weight and size, when large commercial trucks crash, the resulting damage tends to be catastrophic. Whether you drive a truck for a living or you were struck by a semi-truck, our experienced legal team will do all we can to recover the maximum amount of compensation that you’re entitled to under the circumstances. Even if you believe that you’re totally to blame for the crash and even if your truck accident was a single-vehicle collision, it is critical that you speak with our team before making any assumptions about whether you have viable legal options available to you at this time. Due to the ways in which California law approaches the rights of accident victims, you may be entitled to far more compensation than you might initially assume.

If you were injured as a result of toxic exposure, an accident, or other work-related circumstances, you may be eligible to file for workers’ compensation benefits as a result of the harm you’ve suffered. Unlike the civil claims process for personal injury matters, the workers’ compensation system is not fault-based. This means that, with very few exceptions, if you’re eligible to claim these benefits and your harm was caused while you were pursuing work-related activities, you’ll remain entitled to these benefits even if the circumstances surrounding your injuries were your fault.

Not everyone is eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. If you’re unsure of whether you qualify for this form of compensation, let our experienced team know and we’ll clarify your options for you. If you’re classified as either a full-time or part-time employee and your employer has more than a few workers on its payroll, chances are very good that you’re eligible for these benefits. Even if you’re classified as an independent contractor, you may be eligible for benefits if your independent contractor classification was made erroneously – this scenario occurs more frequently than you might think.

If you’re eligible to file for workers’ compensation benefits, you won’t be able to sue your employer, via a personal injury lawsuit, for the harm you’ve suffered. However, you will be able to both seek workers’ compensation benefits and sue any third parties (other than your employer) that caused your harm. You don’t need to understand the “ins and outs” of your legal options before consulting with our team. Once we learn more about your situation during your free consultation, we’ll advise you of your unique options accordingly.

If you have recently lost a loved one due to another’s actions or inactions, you may be in a strong position to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Wrongful death claims compensate eligible surviving loved ones for the losses they have incurred as a result of the injury victim’s death. If your loved one was conscious and in pain before they succumbed to their injuries, our team can also help you to file a survival action. A survival action compensates surviving loved ones for the conscious pain and suffering felt by the injury victim before their death. If your loved one died as a result of work-related circumstances, you may also be eligible to receive workers’ compensation death benefits. Our knowledgeable team can help you and your family to pursue any and all compensation options available to you at this time.

It can be unquestionably difficult to find the energy to explore your legal options while your grief is particularly fresh. However, it’s important to seek legal guidance as soon as you can, so that the financial ramifications of your loss do not unnecessarily impact your family’s finances. Our team will do our utmost to ensure that the processes of exploring and exercising your legal options are as low-stress as they can possibly be.

We have represented the interests of surviving loved ones under so many different circumstances that we have a strong understanding of just how challenging the aftermath of a loss caused by another’s negligence, recklessness, or intentionally dangerous conduct can be.

Allow us to help you ease the financial burdens associated with your loss as efficiently and effectively as is possible under the law.
