A Few Safety Precautions from Burg & Brock for this Holiday Season

Unfortunately, one increases his or her chances of personal injury with the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Halloween is next week. As always, this fun but activity-filled day requires parents to chase excited children from one front yard to the next, unaware of the obstacles that may exist on the surrounding properties. This activity increases a person’s chances of a slip and fall incident. Then, there’s always the issue of holiday auto accidents. The various freeways of Southern California are flooded with additional cars, as people rush to the airport to pick up loved ones or to a holiday engagement. Factor in fall and winter weather conditions, and it is no wonder so many accidents take place around Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the other upcoming holidays. It is important to know of a personal injury law firm that will look at for your best interests if accidents such as these should occur.

While Cameron Yardidi Brock is a highly experienced trip and fall and vehicle accident lawyer with an impeccable track record, he and his associates would like to take the time this holiday season to caution the community with a few safety guidelines: 

• Always take a few extra seconds or an additional minute to familiarize yourself with your surroundings. Whether on foot or in a car, rushing is never worth it.
• Second, if you are on-foot and taking part in a holiday activity like trick-or-treating, always make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes that will support you in case you need to pick up the pace. 
• Last of all, as it pertains to holiday celebration, watch your alcohol intake. We all like to have a good time, but drinking and driving is against the law and can result in a personal injury.

Following these simple steps - which are often forgotten - can help you avoid personal injury over the holidays. However, in the case that something should happen, the Law Offices of Burg & Brock are of course here to help should you require a personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles.

Is it Necessary to Enlist a Personal Injury Lawyer for a Dog Bite Case?

Dog bite injuries happen more often than one might realize. However, many of these incidents go unreported. Although the owners of the dog might be apologetic when the bite first occurs, the sympathetic response may be short-lived, leaving the victim without compensation for the bite or for any infections that could result. Therefore, it is essential to call upon a competent personal injury attorney for representation.

A dog bite victim stands a much better chance of being compensated appropriately when represented. Under California law, the owner is held under strict liability for the offending dog if the victim was lawfully present on his property at the time the bite occurred. Still, the trauma of the experience might lead the victim to get this point across through ineffective, emotionally-charged ways, such as making threatening phone calls or even assaulting the animal. A personal injury law firm takes the deeply personal aspects of the accident into account without letting them muddle up the case.

Cameron Brock is your personal injury attorney in Los Angeles for handling your dog bite incident. Mr. Brock will quickly recognize if you have a credible claim and agree to prosecute. He works on a contingency basis, so you will not need to pay anything until the case is settled.

Not all Lawyers have that "Burg & Brock Compassion"

As personal injury lawyers we fight for justice, and we also sometimes fight the perception that we’re, well, not nice people. At The Law Offices of Burg & Brock, we do so by trying to be known as The Compassionate Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorneys.

Unfortunately it’s not rare enough that something like this happens. A personal injury lawyer shoots his mouth off (allegedly, mind you; we’re attorneys too), and becomes “The Most Hated Man in America!” according to the media.

Kenneth Krause isn’t just an attorney; he’s apparently a self-appointed general in the war on obesity in America. What transpired was that, according to Wisconsin news anchor Jennifer Livingston, Krause emailed a long diatribe to her about her weight. Somehow the issue of Livingston’s weight seemed to personally offend Krause, and Livingston thrust the issue into the public spotlight by speaking out about the email on television. 

This wasn’t Krause working in a professional capacity, but a personal one. However, once again, he forces lawyers across the USA to stand up for themselves. At the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, our record for compassion precedes us. We don’t get paid until you do. We look after your needs during your convalescence, and we treat you like a person, not a dollar figure. 

If you’re injured, don’t call a “bloodsucking” lawyer. Call a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who cares this deeply his clients, and even has overriding compassion for those who aren't clients. Call Cameron Brock.
