- Workers CompensationThe injuries sustained in a Southern California construction accident can be incredibly severe, including electrocution, burns, broken bones, catastrophic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and even death. Victims may require extensive surgeries, strict medication regimens, and may be out of work for weeks, unable to pay the costs of recovery and support family members. To make matters more complicated, industry regulations may make it difficult to obtain workers' compensation for construction accident injuries.
- Premises LiabilitySometimes injuries result from defective products, the professional malpractice of doctors, dentists, pharmacists or attorneys or some defect on the floor or steps which we call premises liability. We handle all of these types of cases.

- Dog BitesSadly, most dog attack victims are children. Dog bites now cause more emergency room visits than any other children's activity. Severe injuries occur almost exclusively in children less than 10 years of age; 77% of injuries to children under 10 are facial. Ironically, the vast majority (61%) of these attacks occur at home or in the neighborhood. The victim's family, friend or neighbor usually owns the dog, which involves its own level of emotional problems because people are reluctant to sue a friend or relative. In almost every dog bite case it is the dog owners homeowners insurance that pays the settlement.
