Practice areas
25 areas of California injury law, each written around the thing that actually decides that kind of claim — the mechanism, the proof it turns on, and the statute behind it.
On the road
Collisions involving any kind of vehicle, and the coverage questions that decide them.
Car accidents
The ordinary crash claim, and the handful of facts that actually decide what it is worth.
Read moreMotorcycle accidents
Riders start every claim with a credibility problem. Here is how it is dismantled.
Read moreTruck accidents
Federal rules, company records and an evidence clock that starts ticking immediately.
Read morePedestrian accidents
Right of way is more complicated than people think, and the injuries are rarely minor.
Read moreBicycle accidents
Cyclists have the rights of a vehicle, and get treated like trespassers.
Read moreUber and Lyft
Which policy pays depends entirely on what the app was doing at that moment.

Read moreHit and run

Read moreUninsured motorists
The coverage you already paid for, and the ways insurers make it hard to use.
Read moreDrunk driving
A criminal case runs alongside yours, and punitive damages become available.

Newport Harbour, the bays and the lakes — where injury law meets maritime law.
Read moreProperty and premises
Injuries on someone else's land, where the case almost always turns on notice.

When someone is assaulted on a property that knew it had a problem.

Fencing law, attractive nuisance, and the cases nobody wants to handle but somebody must.

Workers' compensation is not the end of it. The third-party claim is where the real recovery is.
