Stay Alert on New Year's Eve

Christmas Day was not without tragedy for the family of a yet-unidentified San Diego man who died in a motorcycle accident yesterday afternoon. According to an eye witness report of the incident, the 20-year old biker was merging onto the freeway in the Stockton neighborhood of San Diego when he lost control of his motorcycle and was thrown over the side of a concrete barrier, and then hit by an oncoming pickup truck.

With New Year's Eve just around the corner, the vehicle accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock are pleading with Los Angeles residents to stay safe on the roads over the next week, especially during the evening when the roads are more likely to be occupied by drunk drivers. Cameron Brock, an esteemed motorcycle accident lawyer and the founder of our firm, has made a name for himself in Southern California by vigorously defending the right of accident victims in a wide range of personal injury practice areas.

Something To Think About This Christmas

Christmas Eve is just a day away, and while countless families around the world will be gathered together to enjoy the holiday, Nailah Winkfield will continue fighting for the life of her beloved teenage daughter, Jahi McMath.

 
Jahi, a 13-year-old from Oakland, went into cardiac arrest after losing a great deal of blood from a botched tonsillectomy at Children's Hospital.

Jahi has been presumed brain dead by a team of physicians, and the hospital has been trying to remove her ventilator. But Jahi's family is fighting to keep her alive and demanding the hospital get a second opinion from another neurologist.

David Durand, the chief of pediatrics at Children's Hospital in Oakland, said in a statement over the weekend that Jahi's procedure produced a "catastrophic outcome." At the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, we agree. This wrongful death tragedy perfectly encapsulates what motivates our staff of personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles to do what we do, day in and day out.

Cameron Brock, founder of the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, is a leading spinal cord injury lawyer with a strong record of success in wrongful death lawsuits similar to the one detailed above.

As you gather around the dinner table with your families this Christmas, count the many blessings in your life and don't forget to keep Jahi and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Justice for Clifford

A settlement has been reached in the wrongful death lawsuit of Clifford Detty. A 46-year-old Southern California man, Detty died over three years ago while in custody at Santa Barbara's Psychiatric Health Facility after suffering an apparent psychotic episode. The details presented in the lawsuit suggest PHF did not follow standard protocol in the way they monitored Detty during his detainment. As a result, his father (the person who filed the wrongful death suit) has been awarded $1.25 million in damages before going to trial.

Our hearts break for the Detty family, and indeed for all wrongful death victims. Losing a loved one is painful enough on its own, but to lose them under such auspicious circumstances adds insult to injury. Cameron Brock, a spinal cord injury lawyer and the founder of the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, has defended the families of wrongful death victims since the firm first opened in 1994. The attorneys that work at our four Southern California locations are some of the finest personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles.
