Making Sense of the Madness: Dark Knight Rises Massacre

As the pieces fall after the recent shooting in Colorado, victims and their friends and families try to make sense of the tragedy. Correspondingly, the first personal injury lawsuit related to the incident was filed yesterday. Torrance Brown is suing three agencies: the movie theater, James Holmes' doctors, and Warner Bros. (which produced the recent Batman films). Brown claims the theater was negligent by lacking an alarm on its emergency doors, this allowing Holmes to reenter the screening, that the doctors were not properly supervising their patient, and that the previous Dark Knight films inspired the shootings. We will see what happens with this case (and the many others that are likely to spring up) and our hearts go out to everyone affected by this senseless incident.


While this case doesn't have direct ramifications here in California (unless it is successful against Warner Bros.), it does show how the blame for personal injuries can diffuse. If the allegations that the theater was negligent are true, then this crime could have been prevented. It's negligence like that that is at the heart of what Cameron Yadidi Brock, Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, hopes to eliminate in his career. His personal injury law firm, the Law Offices of Burg & Brock Inc., specializes in automobile and motorcycle accidents, though the team also capable handles other suits involving wrongful death, product liability, dog bites, and many more. Mr. Brock is an attorney in Los Angeles who is very honest about the viability of your case (as such he works on a contingency basis), so reach out to him with any questions about your recent injury.

PinkBerry Co-Founder on Trial & Why You Should Care

In June of 2011, an ugly crime was allegedly committed; A homeless man named Donald Bolding was apparently assaulted on the side of a road in East Hollywood. Bolding claims the assailant beat him repeatedly in the head and arms with a tire iron. The case has grabbed headlines because he accuses Young Lee with the crime, and Lee is the founder of the astoundingly popular chain of frozen yogurt shops known as Pinkberry.

While no one has access to the truth in this matter, one thing is clear: This is a case of David vs. Goliath. As a homeless man with a criminal record, most likely Donald Bolding does not have medical insurance, nor does he have a support network that can ensure that he can provide for his own basic needs while recovering from a catastrophic injury. Mr. Lee may well be found innocent, but Bolding will still need access to food and shelter moving forward, and a personal injury lawyer can be one's only lifeline in such cases.

 Bolding has filed a personal injury suit, according to his courtroom testimony, and in all likelihood a Los Angeles personal injury attorney is helping him. Needless to say, Mr. Lee, a wealthy businessman, has an attorney himself. But there's hope if, like the team at The Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Bolding's personal injury attorney has years of courtroom success, a proven track record of success, and if Bolding's lawyer only gets paid when his case is won. In cases like this, an impossible uphill battle can become a tête-à-tête, and a person in a marginalized position like Bolding (if the truth is indeed on his side) can see justice prevail.

In Light of Injuries at Thursday's Downtown "Melee"

We may never know exactly what went down during Thursday night's Art Walk demonstrations in Downtown Los Angeles. Some sort of protest occurred, and it was affiliated with the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. The exact number of participants has not been nailed down. Injuries were evidently sustained by the police according to their statements, but protestors and members of the media have made unsubstantiated claims as well.

Conflicting reports from the media, the police and the protestors themselves leave everyone involved looking every possibly shade of grey. But when the immediate dust settles and the criminal charges are sorted out, events like these leave literal scars, as well as painful memories for those involved. The party responsible for negligence or harm to another person bears a measure of responsibility to be settled only by a judge. If a civil case is never brought with the aid of a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, the potential plaintiffs may have their lives altered for the worse.

A personal injury lawyer can be the only recourse in the face of the countless unknowns at a time like this.  If a protestor was injured by another protestor, that may be a matter for the civil courts. Equally, property owners may be responsible if their inadequate facilities contributed to injuries. Without a highly adept personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles, these important matters may never have their day in court.

Lessons from the GlaxoSmithKline Settlement

Earlier this month, the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) pleaded guilty to failing to report safety data on certain drugs and then illegally marketing and promoting those drugs.

This is exactly why the work done at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles, is so important—because corporations (including insurance companies) oftentimes look out only for themselves over the well-being of the general public.
