AFFIRMED! Attorneys Adam Kocaj and Samer Habbas were able to prevail on behalf of their clients in a matter on appeal before the 2nd District Court of Appeals in Garcia v. KND Development 52. The affirmed appeal has also been certified for publication, which in turn allows for this ordered appellate court opinion to be publicly cited by other courts and parties. The elder abuse and wrongful death lawsuit was filed on behalf of the decedent patient of a nursing care facili...ty in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging that the defendant facility’s negligence caused the loss of the now-deceased patient. This ruling will ensure that our clients, in this case, won’t lose their constitutional right to have a trial by jury in seeking redress for the death of their beloved father/husband. Need justice?

We won’t settle for anything less than what our clients deserve! From an initial offer of $3,138, Attorney Conor Stanton was able to tender the full policy limits of $250,000. Nice work, Conor! Our client was driving along a two-way side street when the vehicle behind him attempted to illegally pass him on his left shoulder by speeding through the opposite lane, just as he was making a left-hand turn onto a business driveway. The collision caused our client to suffer signifi...cant injuries to his left shoulder and lower back, which resulted in a shoulder decompression surgery. Need justice?

With traffic almost back to normal capacity, drivers are still speeding down highways and streets as if we are still on a full quarantine lockdown. Back in March, roads were only occupied by freight trucks, essential workers, and a few other commuters. With clear, open roads, people began driving above speed limits, failing to check blind spots or use turn signals, and ignoring many more safe driving procedures. By developing these dangerous manners, the risk for accidents ...can be record breaking if drivers do not quit these bad habits and revert back to practicing basic road safety procedures.
