Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyers
Los Angeles is a complex personal injury market because of its population, traffic density, public transportation systems, commercial corridors, workplaces, and public property. With nearly 10 million residents across 88 incorporated cities, the county generates a high volume of crashes, premises incidents, dog attacks, and workplace accidents every year. Insurance carriers here are well-resourced and aggressive. The decisions you make in the first hours after an accident determine what evidence survives, which deadlines apply, and what your claim is ultimately worth.

Why Injured Los Angeles Clients Call Arash Law
After an accident in Los Angeles, the opposing insurance carrier moves fast. Adjusters are assigned, evidence is documented from their perspective, and recorded statements are sought before many injured people have had time to understand what happened. Having experienced legal representation from the beginning changes that dynamic entirely.
Our attorneys request crash reports from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) or the California Highway Patrol (CHP), send evidence preservation letters to businesses and agencies holding surveillance footage, and retain accident reconstruction specialists before the scene changes or footage is overwritten.
We collect and organize your complete treatment records from emergency care providers, specialists, rehabilitation programs, and all follow-up providers to document the full scope and cost of your injuries.
We protect you from early recorded statements that could be used against your claim and negotiate directly with the carriers that dominate the Los Angeles market.
When a public entity contributed to your injury, we prepare and file the required government tort claim under Government Code §911.2 before the six-month deadline closes your ability to sue.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to verdict in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. That preparation is what creates real leverage in settlement negotiations.
Arash Law handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you.

Who Can File A Personal Injury Claim In Los Angeles?
California personal injury law extends the right to seek compensation broadly. Those who may have a claim in Los Angeles include:
- Injured individuals. Any person hurt by another party’s negligence in a car crash, slip and fall, dog attack, defective product incident, or other accident may have a personal injury claim.
- Passengers. Passengers injured in a vehicle, rideshare, bus, or other form of transportation may file a claim against the at-fault driver, the carrier, or both.
- Pedestrians and cyclists. Los Angeles pedestrians and bicyclists struck by vehicles may have claims against the driver, the vehicle owner, a government entity responsible for dangerous road conditions, or several of these parties.
- Surviving family members. When a person dies from their injuries, certain surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim under California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) §377.60. Eligible parties may include a surviving spouse, registered domestic partner, children, and, in some circumstances, parents or other relatives. Wrongful death claims are generally subject to a two-year limitations period under CCP §335.1. CCP §377.60 identifies who may bring the claim, and CCP §377.61 addresses damages in wrongful death actions.
- Spouses and domestic partners. A spouse or registered domestic partner may have a loss-of-consortium claim when serious injuries affect the relationship, companionship, and support.
- Other injured parties. Workers injured on the job may have both workers’ compensation rights and a separate personal injury claim when a third party caused the accident. Hotel guests, retail customers, and residential tenants injured on commercial or residential premises may also have viable claims.
Why Personal Injury Cases In Los Angeles Are Different
The scale and density of Los Angeles create legal conditions that differ meaningfully from smaller California jurisdictions. Traffic patterns, government entity exposure, insurance market complexity, and the number of competing parties in serious accident cases all affect how claims are built and resolved here.
Traffic Volume and Crash Data
The California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) recorded approximately 41,029 fatal and injury crashes in Los Angeles County in 2023, the most recent year for which complete data is available. The LAPD reported that in 2023, traffic accidents caused more deaths in the city than homicides for the first time in nine years. Felony hit-and-run cases resulting in death rose 23% compared to 2022. Fatal alcohol-involved crashes increased 32%. According to UC Berkeley’s SafeTREC Traffic Safety Facts, 32% of California’s motor vehicle fatalities in 2023 involved speeding. It also lists LA as the county with the highest speeding-related deaths and serious injuries.
The I-5, I-10, I-405, and US-101 corridors carry heavy traffic through Los Angeles County and frequently generate complex liability and evidence issues in serious injury claims. Pedestrian fatalities at crosswalks throughout downtown Los Angeles, Koreatown, and the Westside have been a documented concern in recent LAPD and SWITRS reporting.
Level I Trauma Centers Serving Los Angeles
Victims of serious accidents in Los Angeles County are frequently transported to one of four Level I adult trauma centers, depending on factors such as the patient’s condition and location:
- Los Angeles General Medical Center (formerly known as LAC+USC Medical Center), located at 2051 Marengo Street in Boyle Heights
- Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center at 757 Westwood Plaza in Westwood
- Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at 8700 Beverly Boulevard in Beverly Grove
- Harbor-UCLA Medical Center at 1000 W. Carson St., Torrance, CA
Emergency records, imaging, surgical notes, and rehabilitation documentation from these facilities form the evidentiary foundation of serious injury claims.
Government Entity Claims
Los Angeles has a significant number of public entities with potential liability exposure in personal injury cases. Potentially responsible public bodies may include the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles, Caltrans, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT). The proper public entity depends on the circumstances of the case. Claims against any California public entity require a written government tort claim filed within six months after the claim arises under Government Code §911.2. This is a hard precondition to filing any lawsuit against a government entity. Missing it can permanently bar that portion of your claim. Government-entity claims may require signal-timing records, maintenance logs, prior complaint files, Metro incident reports, LADOT records, Caltrans inspection records, work orders, roadway condition photos, and public records requests. In a dangerous-condition claim, this evidence may help show that the entity created the condition or had actual or constructive notice with enough time to take protective measures.
Insurance Complexity After SB 1107
California’s minimum auto liability insurance limits increased on January 1, 2025, under Senate Bill 1107 (the Protect California Drivers Act). The new minimums are $30,000 per person for bodily injury, $60,000 per occurrence, and $15,000 for property damage, replacing the prior 15/30/5 standard unchanged since 1967. Even at the new minimums, coverage is often insufficient for serious injuries. Uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage under California Insurance Code §11580.2, rideshare carrier policies under Public Utilities Code §5433, and commercial vehicle carrier coverage all add layers of complexity that require experienced legal navigation.
The Los Angeles Superior Court System
Personal injury cases in Los Angeles County that proceed to litigation are generally filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Personal injury cases filed in the court’s Central District are generally assigned to the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, located at 111 N. Hill Street in downtown Los Angeles. Cases arising elsewhere in Los Angeles County may be assigned to another district courthouse. Venue selection and filing procedures should be confirmed with your attorney before any complaint is filed.
Boating and Marina del Rey
Los Angeles County includes some of California’s most active recreational and commercial boating waters. Marina del Rey and the coastal waters off Santa Catalina Island see substantial boat traffic year-round. California law holds common carriers to a heightened duty of care when passengers pay for boat tours or water transport. Boating and water-transport claims in Los Angeles County can involve operator duties, passenger safety rules, vessel records, marina evidence, and insurance coverage.
Types Of Personal Injury Cases Our Los Angeles Attorneys Handle
Our personal injury lawyers in Los Angeles represent clients across a wide range of accident types throughout Los Angeles County. Each case type carries its own liability framework, evidence requirements, and legal strategy.
Car and Motor Vehicle Accidents
driving, impaired driving, speeding, reckless driving, road defects, and vehicle defects all contribute to collisions across Los Angeles County. Our LA car accident lawyers investigate fault, preserve evidence, and negotiate with the insurance carriers that dominate this market. Drivers, passengers, and pedestrians all have potential claims depending on the facts of the collision.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders have far less physical protection than occupants of enclosed vehicles. A collision that produces minor injuries in a car can cause traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord damage, severe road rash, and multiple fractures for a rider. Under California Vehicle Code §21658.1, lane-splitting is legal when done in a reasonable and safe manner. However, claims adjusters may use it to shift blame after a crash. Our LA motorcycle accident lawyers know the rider bias that insurers apply in Los Angeles and how to counter it with evidence.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
California Civil Code §3342 imposes strict liability on dog owners in most bite situations. You do not need to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous. The California Department of Public Health records tens of thousands of emergency room visits for dog bites statewide each year, with children disproportionately represented among serious bite victims. Our Los Angeles dog bite lawyers pursue compensation for medical costs, scarring, infection treatment, and pain and suffering.
Slip and Fall and Premises Liability
Property owners in Los Angeles are legally required to keep their premises safe for visitors and to warn of known hazards. Grocery stores, shopping malls, apartment buildings, hotels, and commercial businesses owe a heightened duty of care to paying customers and guests. Our premises liability lawyers have handled cases involving wet floors, inadequate lighting, broken staircases, inadequate security, and dangerous conditions throughout Los Angeles County.
Product Liability
California’s strict product liability doctrine holds manufacturers responsible for injuries caused by defective products used as intended. You do not need to prove negligence. Our product liability attorneys handle cases involving defective vehicles, consumer goods, medical devices, and industrial equipment throughout Los Angeles County.
Workplace Accidents and Third-Party Claims
The California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) records hundreds of fatal occupational injuries in California annually, and Los Angeles County accounts for a portion of that total. When a third party causes your workplace accident, you may have a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation. Our attorneys identify all responsible parties and pursue the full compensation available under California law.
Wrongful Death
When negligence causes a death, eligible surviving family members may have a wrongful death claim under CCP §377.60. They may seek compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship. CCP §377.60 identifies who may file, and CCP §377.61 addresses the damages available in wrongful death actions. Our wrongful death attorneys handle cases arising from vehicle accidents, premises liability, workplace incidents, and other causes of negligent death in Los Angeles.
Rideshare and Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers, delivery vehicle collisions, and commercial truck crashes each carry their own coverage frameworks and liability structures. Rideshare carrier coverage under PUC §5433 depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations apply to interstate commercial carriers operating in Los Angeles. Our attorneys identify the correct coverage structure and responsible parties for every commercial vehicle case.
Additional Los Angeles Injury Claims We Handle
Our Los Angeles personal injury lawyers also represent clients in bicycle accidents, bus and train accidents, boating accidents, burn injury cases, spinal cord injury cases, construction accidents, nursing home abuse and neglect, and wildfire injury claims.
What Evidence Matters In A Los Angeles Personal Injury Case
Evidence in a Los Angeles personal injury case disappears on its own timeline, not yours. Surveillance footage at commercial locations throughout downtown Los Angeles, on Wilshire Boulevard, and along Hollywood Boulevard is typically overwritten within 24 to 72 hours. Skid marks fade within days. Physical conditions at the scene are altered by weather and traffic. Witnesses move on and become harder to locate. The types of evidence that most frequently determine the outcome of personal injury cases in Los Angeles include:- Official Crash Reports: Reports from the LAPD or CHP establish the official record of the incident. Securing these reports and reviewing them for accuracy is an early priority in every case.
- Surveillance and Dashcam Footage: Commercial businesses along crash corridors, city traffic cameras, and dashcam recordings from nearby vehicles can document how a collision occurred before any party has shaped the narrative.
- Witness Statements: Independent witnesses who observed the accident carry significant weight when the parties dispute what happened.
- Government and Maintenance Records: In cases involving road defects, failed signals, or dangerous property conditions, signal-timing records, maintenance logs, prior complaint files, and work orders from the City, County, or Caltrans can establish that the dangerous condition was known and ignored.
- Black Box and Electronic Data: Modern vehicles record speed, braking, and steering inputs. Commercial vehicles subject to FMCSA regulations must maintain electronic logging device (ELD) records that can document hours-of-service violations.
What To Do After An Accident In Los Angeles
The steps you take immediately after an accident directly affect the evidence available for your claim.- Call 911. A police report from the LAPD or CHP creates the official record. On state highways, the CHP generally handles the report. On city streets, the LAPD takes the report. If emergency services are not dispatched, report the accident to the relevant agency as soon as possible.
- Document the scene before anything moves. Photograph vehicle positions, damage, road conditions, traffic signals, skid marks, and the surrounding area. Capture the full scene from multiple angles.
- Exchange information. Collect the other party’s name, contact information, insurance carrier, and policy number. If a commercial vehicle is involved, record the company name, vehicle number, and any FMCSA or DOT identification.
- Get witness contact information. Witnesses who saw the accident may not be available later. Names and phone numbers collected at the scene are far more reliable than witnesses located weeks afterward.
- Seek medical care the same day. Visit an emergency room, an urgent care center, or your physician, even if you feel fine. TBIs and soft tissue injuries frequently do not produce obvious symptoms immediately. A same-day medical record establishes a direct connection between the accident and your injuries.
- Contact an attorney before speaking to the other party’s insurer. Insurance adjusters may contact you within hours. A recorded statement made before you know the full extent of your injuries can be used to limit your claim.
Injuries Our Los Angeles Attorneys Help Clients Recover From
The nature and severity of your injuries determine both the care you need and the value of your claim. Our Los Angeles attorneys have represented clients recovering from:From concussions to severe brain damage affecting memory, cognition, speech, and work capacity. Treatment and rehabilitation can extend for years.
Damage causing partial or complete paralysis. Lifetime care costs can reach millions of dollars.
Complex fractures requiring surgery, hardware implantation, and months of physical therapy, sometimes with permanent joint damage.
Injuries requiring skin grafting, carrying an infection risk, and leaving permanent scarring.
Whiplash, muscle tears, and ligament damage that may not appear on imaging but cause lasting pain and limited mobility.
Blunt force trauma can produce internal bleeding that is not immediately apparent.
Traumatic or surgical amputations that permanently affect daily function and earning capacity.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression following a serious accident are compensable losses in California.
Medical records from emergency care, specialist treatment, imaging, therapy, and rehabilitation form the evidentiary foundation of your personal injury claim. Documentation from every provider helps establish the full scope and cost of your injuries. Seek care immediately after an accident, even if you feel fine.
What Damages Can You Recover From A Personal Injury Claim In Los Angeles?
A successful personal injury claim in California seeks to restore you to the financial position you would have occupied if the accident had not occurred. Recoverable damages fall into three categories.
- Emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, imaging, and medication.
- Future medical costs, including ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, home care, and adaptive equipment.
- Lost wages during your recovery period.
- Reduced earning capacity if your injuries affect your long-term ability to work.
- Property damage, including vehicle repair or replacement, and any personal property lost or damaged.
- Pain and suffering.
- Emotional distress and psychological trauma.
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
- Loss of consortium for a spouse or registered domestic partner.
Punitive damages are only available in rare cases where the defendant’s conduct was malicious, oppressive, fraudulent, or in conscious disregard of your safety. They are not common in standard personal injury cases, but they may apply after drunk driving accidents and other situations involving severe injury, intentional harm, or egregious corporate misconduct.
California does not cap economic or non-economic damages in most personal injury cases. The exception is medical malpractice claims under the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA). MICRA places separate caps on non-economic damages in California medical malpractice cases, and those caps change over time under Civil Code §3333.2 as amended by Assembly Bill 35. The current cap figures increase annually under the AB 35 schedule. This cap applies only to medical malpractice claims and does not affect economic damages such as medical bills or lost wages in any case. Confirm the current applicable cap with your attorney.
How Negligence Works In A Los Angeles Personal Injury Case
Most personal injury claims in California are based on legal negligence. To prevail, you must establish four elements:
- Duty of care. The defendant owed you a legal duty to act with reasonable care. California Civil Code §1714 establishes this duty for all persons.
- Breach of duty. The defendant failed to meet that standard. Examples include a driver who ran a red light on Sunset Boulevard, a property manager who ignored a broken stair, or a manufacturer who shipped a defective component.
- Causation. The defendant’s breach directly and foreseeably caused your injury.
- Damages. You suffered real, quantifiable losses as a result.
Liable parties may extend beyond the individual immediately responsible. In Los Angeles personal injury cases, responsible parties can include the vehicle owner, the employer of a commercial driver, the manufacturer of a defective product, the business or landlord responsible for a dangerous property condition, or a government entity responsible for a defective road or public facility.
How Shared Fault Affects Your Los Angeles Personal Injury Claim
California follows the doctrine of pure comparative fault. If you were partly responsible for the accident, your recoverable damages are reduced by your percentage of fault, but not eliminated. A Los Angeles plaintiff found 40% at fault for a collision still recovers 60% of proven damages. Insurance adjusters routinely argue that injured parties bear more fault than the evidence supports in order to reduce the payout. Our attorneys challenge those allocations with investigation and evidence.
Filing Deadlines For Los Angeles Personal Injury Claims
California imposes strict deadlines on personal injury claims. Missing any of them can permanently bar your right to recover.
- Two years from the date of injury to file most personal injury lawsuits under CCP §335.1.
- Three years for property damage claims under CCP §338.
- Two years from the date of death for wrongful death claims under CCP §335.1 (the general limitations period; CCP §377.60 establishes who may file).
- Six months for claims against government entities under Government Code §911.2. When the City or County of Los Angeles, Caltrans, Metro, LADOT, or any other public entity contributed to your injury, a written tort claim must be submitted to the responsible agency before any lawsuit is filed. Missing this six-month window can permanently bar your claims against that entity.
- Tolling for minors. For many private personal injury claims, the filing deadline may be tolled while the injured person is a minor. Government-entity claims, medical malpractice claims, and other specialized claims can have different timing rules, so the applicable deadline should be reviewed with an attorney.
These deadlines run independently of each other. A government claim window can close while your general lawsuit deadline remains open. Contact an attorney as soon as possible after any accident in Los Angeles.
Arash Law Personal Injury Case Results
The results below are examples from Arash Law’s California practice that illustrate how evidence, liability analysis, and litigation strategy can affect the outcome of serious personal injury claims in Los Angeles and across the state.
We obtained a $41.95 million verdict for customers attacked inside a Walmart store after a baseball bat left on the sales floor was used in the assault. A jury found Walmart partially responsible for the conditions that made the attack possible.
We secured a $17.9 million unanimous verdict against the County of Los Angeles on behalf of two clients seriously injured in a crash that the County was found entirely responsible for causing. The County disputed liability throughout the litigation.
We obtained a $3.5 million jury verdict for a client who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a vehicle collision. The at-fault insurer’s initial offer was $18,500. After the insurer declined to settle at a reasonable amount, a jury awarded damages for past and future pain and suffering and ongoing medical care.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is different, and results depend on the specific facts and evidence involved.

How To Find The Right Personal Injury Lawyer In Los Angeles
Los Angeles has a large number of personal injury attorneys. Not all of them are equally equipped to handle complex claims. Here is what to consider when evaluating your options.
- Trial experience. Most personal injury cases settle before trial, but your attorney’s willingness and ability to take a case to verdict affect how seriously insurers treat your claim. Ask how many jury trials the attorney or firm has taken to verdict in California.
- Case results relevant to your injury. An attorney with a track record in serious personal injury cases involving significant injuries is better equipped to handle your claim than one who primarily handles lower-value matters. Ask for results in cases involving your injury type.
- Local knowledge. A Los Angeles personal injury attorney who knows the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, the LAPD crash report process, and the carriers operating in this market brings practical advantages that affect outcomes.
- Contingency fee structure. Reputable personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles handle cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney’s fees unless they recover compensation for you.
- Verify the attorney’s license. The California State Bar maintains a searchable database where you can confirm an attorney’s license status, year of admission, and disciplinary history before you sign any agreement. Search at apps.calbar.ca.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims In Los Angeles
What if the at-fault driver only had minimum insurance coverage in California?
California’s minimum liability limits increased to $30,000 per person and $60,000 per occurrence as of January 1, 2025, under Senate Bill 1107. For serious injuries, even these new limits may be insufficient. Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage under Insurance Code §11580.2 may cover the gap between the at-fault driver’s policy limits and your actual losses. An attorney can identify all available coverage sources, including the at-fault driver’s policy, your own UM/UIM coverage, and any employer or commercial coverage that may apply.
Does California's comparative fault rule affect my Los Angeles case?
It may affect your case if the evidence shows that you contributed to the incident or your injuries. In this situation, California’s pure comparative fault rule means your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated. A plaintiff found 30% at fault in a Los Angeles accident still recovers 70% of proven damages. Insurers routinely argue that injured parties bear more fault than the evidence supports. Our attorneys investigate and challenge fault allocations that are not grounded in the evidence.
How long does a personal injury case take in Los Angeles?
Most personal injury cases resolve through settlement before trial. Cases involving minor injuries may resolve within a few months of reaching maximum medical improvement. Those involving serious injuries, disputed liability, government entities, or multiple defendants can take one to three years. Cases that go to trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court take longer, depending on court scheduling. Our attorneys work toward fair and efficient resolution while preparing every case as if it will go to trial.
Do I have a claim if my accident happened on a Los Angeles freeway managed by Caltrans?
Potentially yes. If a road defect, inadequate signage, failed drainage, or a dangerous design feature on a Caltrans-managed road contributed to your accident, you may have a claim against the State of California. Under Government Code §911.2, a written government tort claim must be filed within six months of the incident with the State of California’s Government Claims Program, administered by the Department of General Services / Office of Risk and Insurance Management (DGS/ORIM), before any lawsuit against a government entity can proceed. Caltrans also provides damage-claim instructions on its website, but the correct filing path depends on the claim type and amount. The standard for government entity liability requires showing the road was in a dangerous condition that the agency knew about or should have known about in the exercise of reasonable care.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles?
It may not have to cost you anything up front. Arash Law handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery. We explain the full fee structure during your initial free case evaluation.
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Los Angeles?
Most personal injury claims carry a two-year filing deadline from the date of injury under CCP §335.1. Wrongful death claims carry a two-year deadline under CCP §335.1, running from the date of death. Claims against government entities require a written tort claim filed within six months of the incident under Government Code § 911.2. For many private personal injury claims, the filing deadline may be tolled while the injured person is a minor. Government-entity claims, medical malpractice claims, and other specialized claims can have different timing rules, so the applicable deadline should be reviewed with an attorney. Missing any applicable deadline can permanently bar your claim. Contact an attorney promptly to confirm which deadlines apply to your specific situation.
