Brain and spine injury lawyer in Los Angeles: Former Insurance Defense Attorneys

Brain and spine injury lawyer in Los Angeles from Lederer & Nojima is for injured adults and families who face uncertain recovery after neurological trauma and want a supported claim for present and future losses, so you can make decisions about treatment and your case with clearer information.

An insurer may accept that a collision happened while disputing how much of your difficulty it caused. Tell your treating team about changes in memory, headaches, balance or sensation. Describe what you cannot do now and what you could do before the incident. Medical professionals, rather than an insurance adjuster, should evaluate those symptoms.

A brain and spine injury attorney also needs the circumstances of the injury. Preserve collision photographs, the location of a fall, witness details or equipment information, depending on what happened. We examine responsibility separately from the medical questions. A serious diagnosis does not by itself establish who owes compensation.

Our office is at 12100 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 480, Los Angeles, CA 90025. David Lederer and John Nojima use their insurance defense background to examine carrier objections, including prior conditions and claims that future treatment costs lack support. We cannot predict recovery or promise a result.

A negligence claim requires evidence of a duty, a failure to use the required care, causation and damages. The theory depends on the incident: a driver collision raises different questions from a property hazard or equipment failure. If a defendant disputes causation, the attorney must address that dispute rather than rely on the severity of the outcome.

Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1 generally allows two years for a personal injury lawsuit. A claim involving a public entity can require an administrative claim within six months. Other claim types or exceptions can change the deadline. California comparative fault can reduce recovery for a claimant's share of responsibility. Have counsel identify applicable rules before relying on a date.

An adjuster may focus on an early note saying you felt better and give less weight to later difficulties. A useful response explains the timeline. Records of treatment, attempted work and changes in daily activities allow an attorney to test whether the insurer selected one entry while overlooking the rest.

David Lederer and John Nojima have examined injury arguments from the defense side. We distinguish medical uncertainty from an unsupported denial. We check estimates for double counting and explain why a claimed expense relates to the injury. A careful damages record addresses objections instead of assuming the insurer must accept each requested amount.
