We Never Use a One-Size-Fits-All Approach

Your case is as unique as you are. That’s why we never treat any case the same as the one before it. We always listen to your story before we create a plan.

And this refusal to use a one-size-fits-all approach has led to a considerable track record of success. We’ve recovered over $100 million for our clients over the past 10+ years.

Some results we’ve obtained include:

$16 million for a family who needed several different surgeries after a car accident
$3 million for semi-truck driver seriously injured in an accident with another semi-truck driver
$2.8 million arbitration award for a client rear-ended by a garbage truck
$2.5 million jury verdict after our elderly client suffered injuries after being left alone in their wheelchair
$875,000 for an Uber driver who required several surgeries after an accident

We Handle Injury Cases With No Upfront Costs

You don’t need any other expenses at this time. That’s why our Van Nuys personal injury lawyers handle cases on a contingency-fee basis. This means you don’t pay us a thing upfront. You don’t pay for your consultation and you don’t pay us to get started.

In fact, you only pay us if and when we recover the compensation you need.

What We'll Do for You

You don’t need to worry about a thing when you enlist our help. You work on recovering; we’ll fight for the compensation you deserve. This may involve:

Gathering evidence
Taking eyewitness testimony
Using the evidence we gather to build a robust case
Determining a value for your case
Handling all communication with insurers
Negotiating with insurers
Filing a lawsuit
Representing you at trial

Compensation We Can Help You Recover After an Accident

What you can recover depends on the specifics of your case, but may include:

Medical Bills

You can recover compensation for all your related medical bills, such as emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgeries, prescription medications, ongoing care for catastrophic injuries, and co-pays.

Lost Wages

You deserve compensation for any time your injuries kept you out of work.

Lost Earning Capacity

If you need to switch to part-time work, take a lower-paying job, or retire completely, you can recover the loss of those wages and benefits.

Any Other Out-of-Pocket Expenses

Being injured is expensive. You have your medical bills and lost wages, but there are other related expenses that build up over time. For example, if you hired a nanny to care for your children or a housekeeper to handle chores you did before your injury, you could be facing thousands out of pocket fairly quickly.

You can recover these and any other out-of-pocket costs, such as widening doorways in your home to accommodate a wheelchair or installing a handbrake in your car.

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering is one type of non-economic damage for which you can recover compensation. Other non-economic damages include:

Lost enjoyment of life
Mental anguish
Loss of consortium
Distress

Wrongful Death Damages

Unfortunately, accidents can also be fatal. If you lost a loved one in a Van Nuys accident, our team offers our most sincere condolences. We want to help you in any way we can during this difficult time.

We know you likely aren’t prepared to handle a wrongful death case and you don’t need to be. We will handle every aspect of your case, seeking justice for your loved one and the compensation you need to cover any extra expenses. You focus on your family; we’ll focus on your case.

It's Important That You Act Quickly After an Injury in Van Nuys

You need to act quickly after a Van Nuys accident. Per CCP § 335.1, you have only two years to file a lawsuit. Two years might seem like a long time, but recovering from your injuries or reaching medical improvement can take months. It also takes time to build a strong case.

If you don’t file within these two years, you risk recovering nothing. You still have the option of negotiating for a settlement, but the insurance company will be less likely to give you what you deserve if you don’t have any leverage.

It’s also a good idea to act quickly to give you the best possible chance of building a strong case. If you wait too long, evidence may be destroyed, witnesses may move away, and you may forget specific details of the incident that caused your injury.

How Can I Protect Myself After a Van Nuys Accident?

There are several things you might do or say after an accident that might jeopardize your health, safety, or claim. To protect your physical and financial health, you should do the following:

Call 911. The dispatcher can send police and paramedics to the accident scene. This will ensure you get a record of your accident and treatment for any injuries.
Continue your medical care.
Don’t give a recorded statement. The insurer is hoping that you will say something they can use against you. Instead, give them the basics of your injury and then direct any further questions to our team.
Don’t accept the insurer’s first offer. It is typically much lower than you deserve. You can—and should—negotiate for the settlement you deserve. We can handle this for you.
Call an attorney from our firm.
