Managing Litigation Attorney
Brandon Carr, Esq., joined our California injury firm as Managing Litigation Attorney in 2022. In this role, he works to keep the litigation team focused and dedicated to pursuing justice for those injured through the negligence of others.
Brandon knew from an early age that he wanted to pursue a career where he could provide help to others and work to make the world a better place for all. In pursuit of this goal, Brandon attended Iowa State University for his undergraduate education, where he obtained degrees in Political Science and Psychology.
After graduating from ISU, Brandon attended Regent University Law School in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he studied trial advocacy and was elected Chair of the Trial Advocacy Board.
Brandon was also selected to serve as a Senior Editor on Law Review. While in law school, Brandon was recognized for his written argument at the National Pretrial Competition and also participated in the ABA Labor and Employment Competition and the AAJ Student Trial Advocacy Competition.
After law school, Brandon relocated to California and has not looked back. He worked as a Certified Law Clerk with the San Bernardino District Attorney’s Office before turning his focus to personal injury law in order to help people who have been injured by the negligence of others.
Brandon has represented clients against insurance companies and corporations in jurisdictions across California. Before joining Arash Law, headed by Arash Khorsandi, Esq., Brandon was the Managing Attorney and Director of Litigation at another personal injury firm in Southern California.
In his free time, Brandon enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, running, traveling to new places, and watching football.
Case: Multi-Vehicle Accident
One of the first high-value cases Brandon Carr worked on was a chain-reaction collision on Highway 101 shortly after midnight. Several people were severely injured, one of them being Brandon's client, who suffered a traumatic brain injury. The court designated the litigation as “complex” due to the number of plaintiffs involved. The defendants ranged from deep-pocketed parties to other limited policy defendants. Navigating the competing interests of the insurance companies and co-plaintiffs taught Brandon a great deal about how to leverage those tensions to secure an excellent resolution for his client. He ultimately resolved his client's claim for more than $1 million.
Case: Slip-and-Fall Accident
Another case that stands out to Brandon Carr required him to think well outside the box. His client had stopped at a retail store on the Fourth of July to pick up medication for her son when she slipped on an orange liquid in the main aisle near the checkout registers. The fall left her with herniated discs in her neck and back, and after three epidural injections failed to bring lasting relief, she underwent back surgery. The store had no inspection logs for that morning, but there was also no evidence of how long the liquid had been on the floor.
The store moved for summary judgment, asking the court to dismiss the case because there was no evidence it knew about the spill. The store's own policies required employees to preserve surveillance video, take photographs, and interview witnesses after a customer fall, yet none of that was done. Brandon developed a creative argument that the store's failure to preserve its video warranted an inference that it was hiding something, meaning a jury should presume it was negligent. On that basis, Brandon defeated the defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment and, shortly after, obtained a high six-figure settlement for our client.
