Legal Claims We Handle
At Dordick Law Corporation, we represent individuals across Southern California who have suffered serious injuries due to negligence, unsafe conditions, or misconduct – and we do it with unwavering determination.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Traffic accidents are a significant cause of serious injuries in Southern California and often need a deep dive to figure out what happened. We can help you if you’ve been injured in any of the following:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Rideshare accidents
Getting a strong outcome usually means acting fast to collect evidence, talking to witnesses, bringing in experts if needed, and standing up to insurance companies that are trying to avoid paying what the case is worth.
Workplace Accidents
A single moment on the job can lead to lasting injuries, and workers injured in the course of their employment have legal rights. These cases often involve unsafe working conditions, defective equipment, employer negligence, third-party responsibility, and injuries that require extensive medical treatment or long-term care. In some situations, pursuing a civil claim against a third party, in addition to a standard workers’ compensation claim, may be the key to securing full financial recovery.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions on their premises. They can be held liable for resulting injuries when they fail to do so. Common incidents include slip-and-fall accidents, poor lighting or security, uneven flooring, broken stairs, dog bites, and swimming pool injuries. Proving negligence in these cases often involves identifying code violations, structural hazards, or safety issues that the property owner ignored or left unaddressed over time.
Product Liability
Defective products cause thousands of injuries and deaths each year. When manufacturers fail to properly design, test, or build safe products or neglect to warn consumers about known risks, they can be held legally responsible. These cases often involve dangerous medications, faulty vehicle components, defective household items or tools, and mislabeled children’s products. Proving fault typically requires a deep investigation into product design, safety testing, company records, and any relevant recalls, especially since these claims are often heavily defended.
Medical Malpractice
Trusting a medical professional with your health is a serious decision. When they break that trust by making a preventable mistake, the impact can be devastating. Patients who suffer harm due to medical negligence, such as surgical errors, misdiagnoses, medication mistakes, birth injuries, or anesthesia complications, may have the right to pursue compensation. These cases are often complex and challenging, requiring strong evidence and expert testimony to prove fault, especially against hospitals, physicians, and insurance providers.
Catastrophic Injuries
Cases involving life-altering injuries are especially complex due to their high monetary value and complicated medical documentation. Our team is prepared to handle cases involving:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Amputations
- Severe soft tissue damage
If you or a loved one has suffered a severe injury, let our attorneys fight for the money you need to live the fullest life possible
Wrongful Death
Tragically, some accident-related injuries prove fatal. In these cases, surviving family members can pursue claims against the parties at fault for their loved ones’ passing. Let our compassionate wrongful death attorneys pursue the justice and accountability you deserve.
Sexual Abuse and Assault
A trauma-informed, victim-centered approach is essential in cases involving sexual assault and abuse. Survivors have the right to pursue civil claims against individuals, institutions, or organizations that failed to prevent the abuse or respond appropriately. Whether a coach, teacher, clergy member, or another person in a position of authority committed the abuse, survivors deserve support and the opportunity to seek justice in a way that honors their experience and autonomy.
The Numbers Behind Personal Injury
Understanding the scope of personal injury risks in California can help highlight how often these incidents occur and why legal representation matters.
- Motor Vehicle Accidents – In one recent year, alcohol-impaired driving was responsible for 1,479 deaths in California, making up 33 percent of all traffic fatalities statewide.
- Workplace Injuries – In one recent year, California reported more than 500 fatal work injuries – the highest of any state in the U.S. Construction, transportation, and manufacturing are among the most dangerous industries.
- Medical Malpractice – An estimated 250,000 deaths nationwide are linked to medical errors each year, making it one of the top causes of death in the U.S.
- Product Liability – In just one year, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued over 300 product recalls affecting millions of individual items – from vehicles to children’s toys.
These numbers make one thing clear: accidents and negligence are more common than most people realize, and having an experienced attorney on your side can make all the difference in how you recover.
Real Cases, Real Results
Our results speak for themselves. Here are just a few of the major wins we have secured for our clients:
- $13.5 Million Verdict – We obtained this verdict in a low-speed rear-end collision involving a commercial vehicle. The client required back surgery and faced a long recovery. The defense argued for minimal impact, but we proved the full extent of the injuries and secured justice.
- $31 Million Settlement – In a heartbreaking case, we represented the family of a child who died due to a defective pool drain. This wrongful death claim resulted in one of the largest settlements of its kind.
- $2.6 Million Settlement – This case involved a red-light crash caused by a California Highway Patrol officer. Our firm fought to hold law enforcement accountable – and succeeded.
These are not just numbers. They represent real people, real pain, and real outcomes. And we are ready to fight for you, too.
Your Questions Answered
If you have never filed a personal injury claim before, it is natural to have questions; the answers can make a significant difference in your recovery.
How much is my case worth?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Every case is different. Your claim’s value depends on your medical bills, time off work, future care needs, and how the injury impacts your life. Catastrophic injury cases involving long-term disability or death tend to result in larger recoveries. At Dordick Law Corporation, we will evaluate every angle to build the most substantial possible claim.
What should I do after an accident?
Seek medical attention immediately – even if you feel okay. Injuries like brain trauma or internal bleeding are not always visible. Then, gather evidence. Take photos, collect witness info, and file an incident report. Finally, call a personal injury attorney. The sooner we get involved, the better your chances of securing compensation.
What if I was partially at fault?
California follows a pure comparative fault rule. That means you can still recover damages even if you share some partial responsibility for your injuries – however, the court will reduce your compensation in proportion to your percentage of fault. Do not assume you do not have a case. Let us take a look.
Why should I seek compensation?
You did not ask to get hurt. A personal injury claim helps you recover lost income, medical expenses, and damages for your pain and suffering. It can also help prevent the same thing from happening to someone else. Holding negligent parties accountable makes a difference.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of injury. But some exceptions apply – especially if a government agency is involved. It is essential to act quickly. You could lose your right to compensation if you miss the deadline.
Why should I choose Dordick Law Corporation?
Experience matters. Results matter. And how you’re treated throughout your case issues just as much. A strong legal team will go head-to-head with powerful corporations and insurance companies – and come out on top. You deserve to work with someone who treats your case carefully, keeps you informed, and never sees you as just another file on a desk.
