Don't Let Corporate Irresponsibility Stop You From Seeking Justice

According to a recently published report by the Associated Press, the family of Sofia Liu are suing the popular peer-to-peer rideshare service Uber after one of their drivers hit and killed the 6-year old San Francisco native in the Tenderloin last month. The report states that Uber driver Syed Muzaffar struck little Sofia as she was crossing the street with her mother and brother. Local officials are asserting that Muzaffar was logged into the Uber mobile application at the time of the incident. Although Uber is denying responsibility for Sofia Liu's death, the Liu family is fighting to hold them accountable for the actions of their employee.

Dismissal of a $5 Million Personal Injury Suit is Another Reminder of the Importance of Top Legal Representation

As one of the number one personal injury lawyers in Los Angeles, Cameron Y. Brock is renowned throughout Southern California as the most trusted name among those that have suffered due to the negligence of an individual or company. For over fifteen years, Mr. Brock has fought on behalf of clients as a personal injury, wrongful death and vehicle accident lawyer, and achieved stellar results.

In fact, clients at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc., have enjoyed over $100 million in awards and settlements. For those who aren't lucky enough to be represented by our team though, the results are not always so impressive. For instance, last month, a $5 million personal-injury lawsuit filed in Lowell, Texas was dismissed  by a Middlesex Superior Court judge due to a simple technicality.

The lawsuit alleged that the city and police Officer Robert Sturtevant "negligently allowed the plaintiff to use the Police Department motorized scooter without proper head protection and proper instruction." The law states that the defendant must provide a "presentment" letter to the defendant, which representation for Reyes Cotto, the defendant, did. However, it also stipulated that he must wait at least six months before filing suit - which Cotto neglected to do.

Today, Cotto resides in a coma after suffering a fall on the motorized police scooter, and continues to rack up substantial medical bills. As the top attorney in Los Angeles, this is the very sort of thing that Cameron Yadidi Brock works to prevent. If you are suffering due to personal injury, contact the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc. today.
