Recalls Highlight Public's Need for Strong Product Liability Lawyers

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recently recalled a group of children's sleepwear. Clothes from Ishtex, Rigo, and Pajamagram were determined to not meet federal flammability standards, meaning there's an undue risk of burn injury for children wearing them.

What if these hadn't been recalled and your child was unfairly hurt by these products? This only is why passionate personal injury attorneys like the staffers at the Law Offices of Burg and Brock, Inc. can make a difference.

Vulnerable Bicyclists

Go out driving on any Southern California street and you're likely to encounter bicyclists. If you're a good driver, you make a special effort to avoid them. On the other side of the issue, if you ever go out on a bicycle, you know that all too many drivers simply aren't paying attention and are thereby endangering you. Of course, if you're unfortunate enough to be hit on a nearby street, there's a really strong chance you'll be needing a personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles or, in the more serious circumstances, a spinal cord injury lawyer.

Since bicyclists are obviously extremely vulnerable when dealing with thousands of pounds of gas-powered metal, this is a subject of serious concern. We've noticed that in some part of the country, moves are underway to create laws specifically targeting distracted or otherwise impaired drivers who get into accidents involving bicyclists. Many of these laws are being spearheaded by bicyclists who have had serious injuries caused by drivers whose minds were apparently elsewhere because of various electronic devices, including GPS systems.

If a law like this were to pass in California, it could potentially be a boon to the numerous bicyclists who have suffered grievous injuries at the hands of distracted motorists. Ask any Los Angeles personal injury lawyer and he or she will tell you we get too many cases like that. It's something to think about.

You Never Know

Try and think would it would feel like it if your car were suddenly hit by a motorist in a high-end luxury vehicle who suddenly fled the scene. Now, try and imagine how you would feel to find out the motorist in question was a member of the cabinet of the President of the United States. That's a time when it make sense to have a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles

This scenario happened to not one but two sets of Southern California motorists last weekend who found that the mysterious motorist who had their car and fled the scene was, in fact, United States Commerce Secretary John Bryson. Now, it's pretty unlikely that anyone else reading this is going to be involved in an accident with a sitting member of the President's cabinet, but it is true that people in positions of power cause accidents and injuries on a pretty regular basis. If you're a personal injury lawyer like I am, however, it's hard not to sit up and pay attention to something like this. 

Pretty clearly, when something like that happens and you live in the area, you're going to need an outstanding personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles like our staffers at the Law Offices of Burg and Brock, Inc. This case is a really good reminder of just why firms like ours, which operate on a contingency basis, are such an important part of our legal systems and so important to so many members of our community.

On blogging or posting updates about your case online?

You can clearly see that here at Legal Defenders, the premier Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, we enjoy writing and reading blog posts. But you might think twice about your social media presence when you're in the midst of legal proceedings. Your case might benefit from the openness and free exchange of information the Internet offers, but some individuals are finding that the Internet is a little more public than they'd like it to be.

It's conceivable that your case could be researched by someone representing the organization (like an insurance company) against who you're filing a claim. And although your intentions may be simple honesty, or even an innocent joke, it's best to keep the details of your case between yourself and your Los Angeles personal injury attorney.

Cameron Brock and the team at Legal Defenders have an astounding 98% success rate, with over 5,000 personal injury cases won and over $100 million in awards for clients. Still there's no need to endanger your case by over-sharing on Twitter or Facebook. Take it from the personal injury lawyer Los Angeles trusts.

Rave Fatality Results in Settlement from Organizer

The Law Offices of Burg & Brock, the personal injury lawyers you trust, were made aware of a significant lawsuit in the news this week:

In a high-profile example of wrongful death law, this week an event organizer in Los Angeles has settled in the matter of a wrongful death suit involving the tragic loss of a 15 year-old girl at a rave event in 2010. The organizer was agreed to pay $175,000 to the girl's family without admitting fault or liability. Indeed, without a ruling no liability can be assumed.

What can be assumed, however, is that this matter has received a degree of closure for the family of the victim. The death of a teenager in such circumstances means total disruption, of a family's life, as well as grief that can't be calculated in dollars and cents. However, turning to an experience personal injury lawyer in los angeles can mean the difference between irrevocable damage, and eventual recovery.

The Law Offices of Burg & Brock were not involved in this headline-grabbing example of personal injury law, but it can show the public how these cases can unfold. With the help of a compassionate personal injury law firm, you can take on the insurance company or other large organization that has turned you into a victim.
