Los Angeles, California Personal Injury Lawyer Resources

Los Angeles runs on its freeways, and the injury cases we see here track that reality: high-speed crashes on the 405, 101, 10, and 110, multi-vehicle pileups, rideshare collisions, pedestrian strikes in Koreatown, Hollywood, and downtown, and a steady stream of cases involving Amazon and DoorDash delivery drivers whose employment status is itself a disputed legal question. LA County is also one of the most aggressive insurance defense markets in the country, and a Los Angeles injury case that is not prepared like a trial tends to settle for less than it should.

California follows pure comparative fault, which means an injured person can recover even when partly at fault, with damages reduced by their percentage of blame. The state generally applies a two-year statute of limitations to personal injury claims, but claims against the City of Los Angeles, LA Metro, LA County, Caltrans, or other public entities require a written government claim filed within a much shorter window before any lawsuit can be brought. Medical malpractice and wrongful death follow their own rules. In my 32 years of practice, missed government-claim deadlines are one of the most common ways promising LA cases get lost.

Goldberg & Loren represents injured clients throughout the LA Basin and surrounding counties in auto and truck crashes, motorcycle wrecks, pedestrian strikes, dog bites, premises liability, and wrongful death. George Goldberg founded the firm after beginning his career in 1994 defending airlines and insurers and switching to the plaintiff side in 1996. That defense background is directly useful in LA, where the insurance bar is deep, surveillance and social-media investigation start within hours of any claim, and lowball offers are the industry norm until the other side sees a lawyer who is ready to try the case.
