Our firm achieved a groundbreaking $16 million settlement for the Ortiz family, a record in our history, showcasing a relentless pursuit for justice. Mr. and Mrs. Ortiz were driving their son and nephew home from summer school classes. Two blocks from their elementary school, a County utility truck passed through a busy intersection on a red light, broadsiding the Ortiz family’s car. The physical injuries were serious, some permanent, but none catastrophic. With young children involved, an important concern was the emotional trauma of the crash, especially because the two children were isolated as the Pandemic hit about 8 months after the crash, closing down the kids’ school, leaving them isolated in an already difficult situation. So we brought in a trauma expert, a specialized tutor and supportive therapy. For Mr. and Mrs. Ortiz, we enlisted a group of medical specialists, each working within their specialties (hips, spine, internal, pain management, etc) to provide the best care possible to achieve the best possible outcome. Once the family was far enough along the road to recovery, we put our team of experts together, encouraging them to work together to come up with a plan that would take into account the needs of four different people, all with decades of life ahead of them. For the children, that included educational needs, taking into account a plan to get these kids to college and beyond. After filing the lawsuit on behalf of the Ortiz family, we approached the County empowered by 100’s of hours of work, a team of well respected experts, and a detailed plan to help this family with hope of a brighter future. This case represents the largest settlement paid by the County of Los Angeles for the year 2021. The case was resolved through multiple mediations and two different mediators. In the end, the future life care plan we presented to the County for each member of the Ortiz family was complete. The success of this case not only provided much-needed relief and support for the Ortiz family but also demonstrated our firm's ability to handle intricate, high-stakes cases with precision and care.

Our firm obtained a substantial $5.5 million jury Verdict for Yefronia Libaryan, underscoring our commitment to thorough advocacy and a refusal to back down against a Defendant who refused to accept responsibility.The case began when Ms. Libaryan, after returning from an overseas visit, requested wheelchair assistance at LAX, just as thousands of passengers had before her, each helped through the airport by an Aero Port wheelchair attendant.After wheeling Ms. Libaryan down to baggage claim, the Aero Port Services attendant irresponsibly left her unattended with the wheelchair unlocked. As a result, Ms. Libaryan fell from the wheelchair, injuring her shoulder which required surgery.After an insulting $5,000 offer from the Defendant in mediation, grossly underestimating the severity of the injury and the impact on Ms. Libaryan's life, we knew that Trial was likely. We took numerous depositions and conducted a site inspection, using a safety expert to evaluate the Defendant’s wheelchair services. Ms. Libaryan agreed to allow a jury of 12 to decide the value of her case and we proceeded forward to Trial.Over two weeks, we presented compelling evidence and witness testimony to a Pasadena jury to refute the defense’s claim that Ms. Libaryan attempted to exit the wheelchair on her own. We presented a safety expert who had tested numerous wheelchairs from the Defendant’s fleet, identifying chairs with maintenance issues and inconsistent locking mechanisms.The complexity of this case was heightened by the airport's destruction of the incident video, making witness credibility crucial. Despite these challenges, our meticulous preparation and strategic approach convinced the jury to award $3.2 million for medical expenses and pain and suffering, significantly impacting Ms. Libaryan’s life. Recognized as one of the top 100 verdicts in LA County for 2019, this outcome highlights our firm’s ability to secure exceptional results even in tough situations. Clients can trust us to pursue justice and secure fair compensation for their suffering.

Our firm secured a $3.5 million jury verdict for our client, a single mother who suffered injuries in a freeway crash caused by a bobtail truck that lost control in rainy conditions. With a surgery performed and facing a second surgery down the line, the trucking company denied any responsibility for our client’s injuries claiming that the forces of the crash did not cause any need for surgery. After multiple depositions, including establishing that the trucking company’s medical expert falsified his report in claiming that he had reviewed MRI images when he had not, we uncovered plenty of information for Trial. Backed into a corner, on the eve of trial, the trucking company admitted not only its negligence, but also that all of the medical treatment that the client had received was reasonable, including her surgery. The trucking company initially refused to acknowledge the significant future medical care needs of our client, a young mother. When they declined to settle, we trusted the jury system, presented our case, and achieved a just verdict. Our strategic approach and dedication resulted in one of the Top 20 Personal Injury Verdicts in Los Angeles County in 2023.

Our firm secured a $3.5 million settlement for Maria Barrera, who sustained serious injuries while working as a housekeeper at a two-story apartment building. On her first day at this location, Maria was tasked with cleaning the common areas. While picking up trash on the second-floor fire escape, she fell due to unsafe conditions, resulting in significant harm. This case was particularly challenging because, under California law, it is generally difficult to sue for workplace injuries outside the workers' compensation appeal board. However, our meticulous approach involved numerous depositions to establish that the apartment building owner had failed to implement necessary safety measures and provide adequate warnings, directly leading to Maria's fall. Despite the defendant's attempts to dismiss the case by arguing they could not be held liable under California law, the court denied their motion, leading to a substantial settlement. Additionally, we pursued a separate claim against Maria’s employer, the housekeeping agency, before the workers' compensation appeal board, securing an additional $900,000. This dual approach ensured comprehensive compensation for Maria, addressing both the negligence of the property owner and the employer’s failures.

Dale, despite being in good health, sustained severe injuries requiring cervical surgery.

Our firm achieved a $2.8 million arbitration award for Mr. Jung, an IT manager whose life was dramatically altered after being rear-ended by a Glendale City trash truck while stopped at a red light in Montrose, CA. The impact of the collision was severe, necessitating neck surgery and preventing Philip from returning to his full-time IT position due to his inability to sit in front of a computer for extended periods. The case was unique as the Pandemic was causing significant Court delays resulting in us approaching the City about waiving a jury Trial in favor of binding arbitration which was agreed to by the Glendale City Council, proving KJT’s unwavering dedication to securing justice, even during hard times. Prior to moving forward to Arbitration, we engaged with the City in mediation. When the City refused to accept the significance of our client’s loss and its effect on his life, the mediator proposed a settlement that the City refused to authorize. At the Arbitration Hearing which required two full days to complete, we meticulously presented evidence of Philip’s injuries and their profound impact on his professional and personal life. By getting to know our client, by asking the right questions as the case progressed, we presented a case of our client’s personal loss that was compelling. As a result, Mr. Jung’s injuries and their significant effect on the most important part of our client’s life, resulted in an Award that fairly accounted for our client’s loss. We pursued arbitration to ensure Philip received the full compensation he deserved. The successful resolution of Philip Jung’s case underscores our firm’s proficiency in managing intricate personal injury claims and our dedication to achieving substantial results. Entrusting your case to our firm means you will receive diligent and thorough representation, ensuring justice and fair compensation.

El veredicto del jurado en un caso que involucró a un cliente de edad avanzada herido después de ser dejado desatendido en una silla de ruedas.

Our firm secured a $2.4 million jury verdict for Ms. Lopez, a long-term renter at a small apartment complex in Pasadena. One evening, Ms. Lopez found herself locked out on her balcony when a faulty locking system on her door locked her out of her second floor apartment. While attempting to use the emergency ladder to climb from the balcony to the ground level, a missing rung on the ladder caused her to fall, suffering a severe leg injury. This case presented substantial challenges, primarily due to the defendant's complete denial of responsibility. The defendant argued that Soledad’s decision to climb down the ladder was reckless and claimed she had pre-existing leg issues. Despite these false claims, we enlisted an expert in apartment building safety who agreed that the negligence in maintaining the emergency ladder was directly responsible for Ms. Lopez’s injuries. The defendant rejected our initial demand for their $1 million insurance policy, pushing the case to trial. Through comprehensive preparation and a compelling presentation of evidence, we argued to the jury that while Ms. Lopez did make a conscious choice to climb down the emergency ladder, her choice was not the cause of her injuries based on the defective ladder with its missing rung. The jury recognized the severity of her injuries and the negligence involved, resulting in a $2.4 million judgment that the apartment owner had to fulfill. Our ability to navigate the legal complexities of this case and achieve a significant jury verdict for Ms. Lopez underscores our commitment to our clients. We hold negligent parties accountable and ensure our clients receive the compensation they deserve.
