Auto Accidents

When you are in a car accident, it is a stressful and painful experience. You may ask why do I need an attorney?  The answer is, dealing with insurance companies becomes more of a stressful factor as the insurance companies are not on your side.  Insurance companies do not want to pay you the compensation that you deserve.  At our firm we will take on your case  from the onset and deal directly with the insurance companies to assure that your vehicle is repaired and you are paid the most compensation in your pocket. 

It is very important that our clients receive the best medical treatment to heal their injuries. If you do not have medical insurance we will assist you in seeking a medical provider who will take your case on lien. When a doctor takes a patient 
on a lien, it means that the doctor will wait to get paid until the case in completed. 

Did you know that over three million whiplash injuries occur each year resulting from motor vehicle crashes? Of these whiplash injuries, 500,000 people will have chronic problems and up to 300,000 will have some degree of disability. Apart from the effect on health, there’s a significant cost to society. Approximately $43 billion of total annual HARM is attributable to whiplash and related injuries. (HARM is a metric for quantifying the total societal cost of road trauma.)

We have recovered millions for our clients.  Our office responds to your inquires quickly and you can speak directly with the attorney.  Your first meeting will be with an attorney not with a paralegal, like most offices do. If you are unhappy with your current attorney, we will give you a free case evaluation where you can speak directly with the attorney. 

Free and Confidential Consultations available. Evening and weekend appointment are available upon request.

Medical Malpractice

An action for medical malpractice resulting in injury or death must be brought within one year from the date the claimant discovered the negligent act, but no more than three years from the date of injury.  We rely on medical professionals to take
care of us when we need it and while most medical providers do offer excellent care, some providers do not hold themselves to the normal standard of care. When these medical professionals fall below this standard of care, they may be guilty of medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice can be negligent care, failure to diagnose, unsanitary conditions, surgical mistakes, hospital mistakes, and many other issues.  Physicians, nurses, and hospital staff may also be guilty of medical malpractice.  

Damage Caps:

In California, there is a cap on non-economic damages for medical malpractice cases. Non-economic damages include pain, suffering, inconvenience, physical impairment, disfigurement, and other non-pecuniary injury, are limited to $250,000.  This cap allows only one $250,000 recovery in a wrongful death case for injury or death. Yates v. Pollock, 194 Cal. App. 3d 195, 239 Cal. Rptr. 383 (1987).  However a spouse claiming loss of consortium can be a separate cap. Atkins v. Strayhorn, 223 Cal. App. 3d 1380, 273 Cal. Rptr. 231 (1990).


Attorney Fees Limits:

Generally attorneys in a medical malpractice case can collect under a contingent fee arrangement up to 40 percent of the first $50,000.00, 33 1/3 percent of the next $50,000.00, 25 percent of the next $500,000.00, and 15 percent of any amount
that exceeds $600,000.00. Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 6146 (West 1990). This limit applies whether the case went to trial, arbitration or settled outside of court.
