An Immense Failure of Character

As personal injury lawyers in Los Angeles, we obviously see a great many cases involving behavior that is less than ideal. We understand, of course, that people are flawed and make a great many mistakes.

Even so, working as a personal injury vehicle accident lawyer, by far the most baffling cases we often see are the deadly hit and run cases. A recent tragedy, in which 54 year-old juvenile probation officer Ken Hamilton was killed driving his motorcycle in the East Los Angeles area, reportedly by someone driving a silver 4-door Honda Civic DX, is especially sad to read about.

This one hits closer to home than many cases not only because Cameron Brock is a top motorcycle accident attorney in Los Angeles but because he is a also an avid motorcyclist himself. Of course, it's not surprising that someone who seriously injures a motorcyclist might have an impulse to flee responsibility for such a serious incident, but the lack of compassion for the victim, who's life may well be in the balance, is what really shocks us.

You would think that simple human feelings and pangs of conscience would be enough to motivate people to do the right thing in these circumstances, but that's clearly not always the case. The sad fact is that a lot of us need to be forced into doing the right thing, or pay a heavy price afterwards. That's why legal penalties and personal injury torts are needed.

Boxing Brain Injury Tragedy Strikes a Nerve with Cameron Brock

Most people enjoy live sporting events and the competitive enthusiasm they produce. And while athletic injuries are an unavoidable part of any professional sports competition, there are instances when things can go too far.

Hit and Run Case Illustrates Importance of Having a Skilled Vehicle Accident Lawyer

According to a Reuters report released yesterday, the public defender in an ongoing California hit and run case has suggested his client's car had mechanical issues that caused him to lose control of his vehicle. Nathan Campbell is contesting a slew of felony charges, including murder and assault charges, after driving through a busy Venice Beach boardwalk, killing one and injuring 16 others. What the media does not seem to be addressing, however, is what is at stake, both legally and financially, for the injury victims of this terrible tragedy.

Government Shutdown Has Negative Ramifications on Product Safety

As a product liability lawyer, Cameron Brock has seen his fair share of products rushed to market without concern for the safety of the consumer. Luckily for the American people, there are governmental agencies in place—like the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Center for Disease Control, and the Food and Drug Administration—that help spread awareness of dangerous products and food before the customer gets harmed. Yet, the government shutdown has already affected these agencies, putting the consumer at risk in the meantime, who could eventually require the services of the Law Offices of Burg & Brock.

With the staff of the CPSC, CDC, and FDA reduced due to furlough, product recalls and food inspections aren't being processed as they were previously. In fact, one salmonella outbreak was detected in California during the shutdown. While it's sad that the government can't screen out harmful products thoroughly at the moment, the impetus is truly on the manufacture to make a safe product. If you end up harmed because something was rushed to market—putting profit over people—give Cameron Brock, experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, a call at 888-509-2998.


Sometimes, it may feel that the work of a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles is reactionary, but we like to think of our work as corrective. It would be best if nobody was hurt in the first place, but when negligence or laziness leads to an injury, the Law Offices of Burg & Brock will be here to get you the compensation that will get your life back on track.

Tragic Auto Accident in Burbank is a Stark Reminder of the Need for Top Notch Personal Injury Lawyers

Recently, our team of legal defenders explored the major issue of hit and run collisions in Los Angeles. Though hit and run accidents are no doubt an exceptionally severe issue facing the the commuter metropolis, they are still only one of many traffic concerns we face, as was recently illustrated through a recent collision in Burbank.
The Huffington Post reports that early Saturday morning, five people were killed after their car spun out and burst into flames in Burbank, trapping those inside.The coroner was assisted by firefighters in removing bodies that Burbank Fire Capt. Peter Hendrickson stated were "burned beyond recognition."

Despite the devastating nature of the collision, one woman was fortunate to survive. The 18 year-old managed to crawl out of the burning Nissan and was found by police about 50 yards away from the wreckage. She suffered a broken leg and other non-life threatening injuries.

While speed does not appear to be an issue in the collision, it is thought that alcohol may have been a factor. No matter what the cause, it is worth noting that these tragedies can often be avoided by following proper safety regulations. Yet, when the worst does occur, the legal counsel of top attorney in Los Angeles Cameron Y. Brock and his team at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc. are always an invaluable asset.
