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 a 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 personal injury lawyers in Van Nuys, CA, 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 a Personal Injury Attorney in Van Nuys, CA, Will 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.

If your vehicle was damaged in the accident, you can recover any property damage losses.

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 before the statute of limitations expires, 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.

Cases Our Personal Injury Lawyers in Van Nuys, CA, Handle

Our legal team handles all types of personal injury claims in Van Nuys, including:

• Car Accidents: Van Nuys is known for its traffic, which can contribute to serious accidents. Our team can help regardless of how your accident occurred. 
• Truck Accidents: Truck wrecks are often more complex than your standard motor vehicle accident, but our law firm knows how to identify the responsible parties and hold them liable.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle accident victims often face a bias when fighting for compensation. Our team can protect you from this bias and prove that another party caused the wreck, not you.
• Medical Malpractice: If a medical provider’s negligence caused your injury or worsened your illness, we can hold them liable.
• Dental Malpractice: If your Dentist, Dental Hygienist, or Dental Office caused your injury, you deserve compensation.
• Bus Accidents: We can help you hold LA Metro, LADOT DASH, Greyhound, Los Angeles Unified School District, or another bus company liable for your injuries and losses.
• Bicycle Accidents: Van Nuys has created protected bike lanes to prevent bike accidents; however, that does not mean that drivers will respect these lanes and share the road. Our team can help you seek justice if a negligent driver caused your accident.
• Pedestrian Accidents: If a negligent driver hit you while you were walking through Van Nuys, you deserve compensation. We’ll fight for it.
• Dog Bites: California law holds dog owners strictly liable for dog bites. We will fight for every dollar you need.

• Workers’ Compensation: If you were injured at work, you are likely entitled to workers’ comp benefits. We can help you get them.
• Wrongful Death: If you lost a loved one due to an accident or malpractice in Van Nuys, our team will seek justice and compensation on their behalf.

Proving a Personal Injury Case

To hold the responsible party liable, our personal injury lawyers in Van Nuys, CA, must establish that their negligence caused your injuries. This involves proving the following:

• Duty of care: The at-fault party must have owed you a duty of care. What duty they had depends on the type of accident. Drivers owe other road users a duty to drive safely. Property owners owe visitors a duty to keep their property safe. Medical professionals have a duty to uphold their industry’s standard of care.
• Breach of duty: The at-fault party breached their duty, e.g., running a red light, failing to clean up a spill in a supermarket, failing to diagnose a malignant tumor.
• Causation: The breach caused your injuries e.g., the driver ran a red light and T-boned your car, you suffered a traumatic brain injury after you slipped and fell in a supermarket, you lost a loved one after their doctor failed to diagnose their cancerous tumor.
• Damages: You suffered damages, e.g., medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
