The Injury Law Firm handles all personal injury matters in Glendale. Personal injury law covers any situation where another person or company's negligence caused you harm. We focus exclusively on injury cases, so you get attorneys who know this area of law inside and out.
Car Accidents. Glendale's busy streets and freeway access make car accidents common. We represent drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and motorcyclists injured on the 134, the 2 Freeway, Brand Boulevard, and throughout the city. Learn more about our auto accident representation.
Slip and Fall / Premises Liability. Property owners in Glendale must maintain safe conditions. If you slipped on a wet floor at the Americana at Brand, tripped on broken pavement, or fell due to poor lighting, the owner may be liable. We hold negligent property owners accountable. See how we handle premises liability cases.
Wrongful Death. Losing a family member to someone else's negligence is devastating. We represent families in wrongful death claims, fighting for compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and the loss of companionship. Read about wrongful death claims.
Dog Bites. California holds dog owners strictly liable for bites. If a dog attacked you or your child in Glendale, you may recover medical costs, scarring treatment, and trauma counseling.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents. Glendale's walkable downtown and bike lanes see frequent accidents. We represent pedestrians and cyclists struck by negligent drivers.
Workplace Injuries. Some workplace injuries qualify for both workers' comp and personal injury claims, especially if a third party caused the accident.
Defective Products. Faulty equipment, dangerous consumer goods, and defective vehicles can cause serious harm. We pursue product liability claims against manufacturers and sellers.
No matter how you were injured, call us for a free case review. We'll tell you honestly whether you have a claim.
No Fees Unless We Win. You pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket. We only collect a fee if we recover compensation for you. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.
Local Knowledge. Our office is located at 308 S. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA 91204, right in the heart of the city. We know Glendale's streets, hospitals, and courts. We understand the local insurance adjusters and defense attorneys. That local insight helps us build stronger cases.
Direct Attorney Communication. You'll speak directly with your attorney, not just paralegals or assistants. At our firm, we value direct client-attorney communication. You'll have your lawyer's contact information and get answers to your questions quickly.
Bilingual Staff. We serve Glendale's diverse community with bilingual support.
Trial Experience. Most personal injury cases settle, but insurance companies pay more when they know you're ready to go to trial. We prepare every case for court. That preparation gets results at the negotiating table.
Medical Care at No Upfront Cost. If you need treatment but don't have health insurance or can't afford copays, we connect you with doctors who treat on a lien basis. You get the care you need now, and the medical bills are paid from your settlement later.
We Handle Everything. You focus on healing. We investigate the accident, gather evidence, deal with insurance companies, negotiate medical bills down, and fight for maximum compensation. We keep you informed at every step, but we handle the legal work.
Call (800) 597-5596 now. Free consultation. No obligation.
Step 1: Free Consultation. Call us or fill out our contact form. We'll review your case, explain your rights, and tell you what we can do. No charge, no obligation.
Step 2: We Investigate Your Case. We gather evidence: accident reports from Glendale Police Department, photos of the scene, witness statements, medical records, and any video footage. We identify all liable parties and insurance policies.
Step 3: We Connect You With Treatment. If you need medical care, we refer you to doctors who treat on a lien. You get treatment now, pay later from your settlement. We also track all your medical expenses and document your injuries thoroughly.
Step 4: We Demand Payment. Once you've completed treatment (or reached maximum medical improvement), we calculate the full value of your claim. We send a detailed demand letter to the insurance company with all evidence and documentation.
Step 5: We Negotiate. Insurance companies almost always respond with a lowball offer. We negotiate aggressively, countering their tactics with facts and legal arguments. Many cases settle at this stage.
Step 6: We File a Lawsuit if Needed. If the insurance company won't offer fair compensation, we file a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court. We're fully prepared to take your case to trial.
Step 7: Settlement or Verdict. Most cases settle before trial, often during mediation. If your case goes to trial, we present your story to a jury and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Step 8: You Get Paid. Once we recover compensation, we pay off medical liens, deduct our contingency fee, and send you the rest. We negotiate down medical bills whenever possible to maximize your take-home amount.
Important Deadlines in California:
California's statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death, you have two years from the date of death. For claims against government entities (like Glendale city vehicles), you must file an administrative claim within six months.
Don't wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and deadlines expire. Call us now while the facts are fresh.
Comparative Negligence Rule:
California follows "pure comparative negligence." Even if you were partly at fault for your accident, you may still recover compensation. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're found 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you'd recover $80,000. We fight to minimize any fault assigned to you and maximize your recovery.
Glendale's location and traffic patterns create specific injury risks:
Freeway Accidents (134 and 2 Freeways). The Ventura Freeway (134) runs through Glendale, and the Glendale Freeway (2) connects downtown to the 134. These high-speed roads see frequent collisions, especially during rush hour. Merge accidents, rear-end crashes, and multi-vehicle pileups are common.
Brand Boulevard Traffic. Brand Boulevard is Glendale's main commercial corridor, running through downtown. Heavy traffic, pedestrians crossing to the Americana at Brand, and distracted drivers create danger. We've represented clients hit in crosswalks, rear-ended at stoplights, and injured in parking lot accidents along Brand.
Pedestrian Accidents. Glendale's walkable downtown sees pedestrian accidents year-round. Drivers turning right on red without looking, failing to yield in crosswalks, and speeding through residential streets injure walkers regularly.
Premises Liability Incidents. Glendale's mix of old and new buildings creates hazards. Uneven sidewalks, poorly maintained apartment buildings, wet floors in stores, and inadequate security at commercial properties all lead to injuries. The Americana at Brand, Glendale Galleria, and other shopping centers must maintain safe conditions for visitors.
Workplace Accidents. Glendale's businesses, from offices to restaurants to construction sites, see workplace injuries. If a third party (not your employer) caused your injury at work, you may have a personal injury claim in addition to workers' compensation.
Dog Bites. Glendale's parks and neighborhoods see dog bite incidents. California Civil Code Section 3342 holds dog owners strictly liable, meaning you don't have to prove the dog was dangerous or the owner was negligent.
Defective Products. Faulty consumer goods purchased at Glendale retailers, defective car parts causing accidents, and dangerous equipment can all lead to product liability claims.
If any of these situations injured you, call us. We'll investigate and fight for compensation.
California law allows injury victims to recover several types of damages:
Economic Damages:
✔ Medical Expenses: All past and future medical bills, including emergency room visits at Glendale Memorial Hospital or USC Verdugo Hills Hospital, surgery, physical therapy, prescription medications, and medical equipment.
✔ Lost Wages: Income you missed while recovering, including sick days, vacation days used, and unpaid time off.
✔ Lost Earning Capacity: If your injury prevents you from working in the future or limits your career options, you may recover future lost income.
✔ Property Damage: Repair or replacement costs for your vehicle or other damaged property.
Non-Economic Damages:
✔ Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, discomfort, and reduced quality of life.
✔ Emotional Distress: Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other psychological harm caused by the injury or accident.
✔ Loss of Enjoyment: Compensation if your injury prevents you from enjoying hobbies, activities, or life experiences you once loved.
✔ Disfigurement and Scarring: Additional compensation for permanent scars, burns, or disfigurement.
✔ Loss of Consortium: Compensation for your spouse if your injury harmed your marital relationship.
Punitive Damages:
In rare cases involving extreme negligence or intentional harm, California courts may award punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter similar conduct.
What Affects Your Case Value?
Every case is different. Factors that influence compensation include:
Severity of your injuries and permanence of disability
Amount of medical bills and future treatment needs
Lost income and impact on your career
Strength of evidence proving the other party's fault
Quality of medical documentation
Credibility of witnesses
Insurance policy limits
Your own percentage of fault (if any)
We calculate your damages carefully, including future losses. We don't settle for lowball offers. We demand full compensation for everything you've lost and everything you'll lose in the future.
Call (800) 597-5596 for a free case evaluation. We'll review your situation and give you an honest assessment of your potential recovery.
The steps you take immediately after an accident can strengthen or weaken your case. Follow these guidelines:
1. Get Medical Care Immediately. Your health comes first. Call 911 if you need an ambulance. Go to Glendale Memorial Hospital, USC Verdugo Hills Hospital, or an urgent care center. Even if you feel "fine," see a doctor within 24 hours. Some injuries don't show symptoms immediately, and delaying care gives insurance companies ammunition to deny your claim.
2. Report the Accident. If your injury involved a car accident, call Glendale Police Department (non-emergency: 818-548-4840) to file a report. For slip and fall or other premises accidents, report it to the property owner or manager in writing. Get a copy of any incident reports.
3. Document Everything. Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, property damage, and any hazards that caused your fall or crash. Get contact information from witnesses. Write down everything you remember about how the accident happened while it's fresh in your mind.
4. Don't Talk to Insurance Companies. The other party's insurance adjuster will call you quickly, often within hours. They'll sound friendly and helpful. Do not give a recorded statement. Do not discuss the accident. Politely decline and say you're speaking with an attorney. Anything you say can be used to minimize or deny your claim.
5. Preserve Evidence. Keep the clothes you were wearing, don't repair your car yet, and save any damaged property. These items may serve as evidence.
6. Call a Glendale Personal Injury Attorney. Contact us before you talk to any insurance company. We'll protect your rights from day one. The consultation is free. We'll tell you exactly what your case is worth and what steps to take next.
7. Follow Your Doctor's Orders. Attend all appointments, follow treatment plans, and document your recovery. Gaps in treatment give insurance companies reasons to reduce your settlement.
8. Don't Post on Social Media. Insurance companies monitor social media. A photo of you smiling at a family gathering can be twisted to claim you're not really injured. Set profiles to private and don't post about your accident or injuries.
Common Mistakes That Hurt Your Case:
Accepting the first settlement offer (it's almost always too low)
Signing medical releases for the insurance company (they'll search for pre-existing conditions to blame)
Waiting too long to hire a lawyer (evidence disappears and deadlines approach)
Minimizing your injuries when talking to doctors or adjusters
Cashing a settlement check without reading the release (you may waive future claims)
