UCLA-Trained Attorneys in West Hills
West Hills Hospital is the primary trauma intake for this side of the Valley, which means the emergency record created in your first hours there becomes the foundation of everything that follows. Insurance adjusters read those notes closely, and what did or did not get documented in the ER shapes their opening number more than anything you tell them later.
That is why the gap between injury and treatment matters so much. If you waited a few days because you felt sound enough to go home, the other side will argue the injury came from somewhere else. That argument is beatable, but it is beaten with medical evidence and timeline, not with insistence.
UCLA-Trained Attorneys, Not a Call Center
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, graduated from El Camino Real High School and UCLA Law School, and I've spent my career representing people who were hurt because someone else wasn't paying attention. I take these cases personally because I've watched families in this community deal with the aftermath of serious crashes. If you were injured, I want to hear what happened.
What Makes Your Case Different From Day One
A regional trauma hospital, a dispersed crash pattern, and one in five collisions involving a drinking driver. Here is what that means for your claim.
Orcutt Ranch Horticultural Center and the surrounding residential streets draw visitors and pedestrian traffic. Premises liability at the ranch and vehicle-pedestrian conflicts on adjacent streets are recurring case types in this part of West Hills.
Property owners must maintain premises in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail and someone is injured, they are legally accountable — whether the property is a retail store, apartment complex, or sidewalk.
To win a slip and fall claim, you must generally show the property owner knew — or should have known — about the dangerous condition. We investigate maintenance logs, prior complaints, and inspection records to prove actual or constructive notice.

Compensation Available in Your Case
Impaired driving cases can reach beyond compensatory damages. Every category below matters, and the punitive question is decided by what the criminal file shows.
Medical Expenses
Trauma care at West Hills Hospital, imaging, surgery, physical therapy, and prescriptions from the collision forward.
Lost Wages
Income lost while you recovered, documented through payroll, tax returns, or business records.
Lost Earning Capacity
An injury that permanently limits your work is a loss that runs for the rest of your career and belongs in the claim.
Pain & Suffering
Chronic pain, emotional distress, and anxiety about driving or walking the same street. Documented properly, these carry real value.
Property Damage
Vehicle repair or total loss at fair market value, rental costs, and personal property destroyed in the crash.
Punitive Damages
With roughly 30 impaired driving collisions on the local record, punitive exposure is a live issue in a meaningful share of West Hills cases.
Future Medical Costs
Serious injuries need years of follow-up. We work with medical experts to project that cost rather than leave it out of the demand.
Public Entity Claims
Where roadway design or maintenance contributed, particularly on the canyon roads, a claim against the agency may apply on a much shorter deadline.
