Wrongful Death
- Lara Law Firm achieved a record settlement against a county agency for social worker negligence resulting in death.
- Various other top law firms declined to take the case because they could see no way to prove that the county agency was at fault.
- Establishing liability required extensive investigation, research, and analysis and vast knowledge of the applicable law.
- The $4,000,000 settlement was the highest the agency had ever paid on a claim in its history.
- Prior to this settlement, the agency had not paid more than six figures on any claim.

Door Dash Collision
- Our client was seriously injured while she was a passenger in a car being driven by a DoorDash driver. Another car made an unsafe left turn in front of them, resulting a two-car collision.
- The police report stated that the driver of the other vehicle was 100% at fault, but he had only $15,000 per person in coverage with a maximum of $30,000 per accident, and DoorDash refused to pay our client anything.
- The attorneys for the other injured parties were willing to settle for the $30,000 and divide it between the four injured parties. But Lara Law Firm dug deeper.
- Lara Law Firm purchased the vehicle from the tow yard and hired an expert technician to download the Collision Data Recorder data from the DoorDash Driver's car.
- The data showed that the DoorDash driver was speeding and driving distracted at the moment of impact.
- When we showed this data to DoorDash's attorney, DoorDash agreed to pay our client the policy limits of $1,000,000.
- So, our client received $15,000 from the driver who made the unsafe left turn, and $1,000,000 from the DoorDash driver, for a total of $1,015,000.

- Upon viewing the video, the insurance company took a second look at the claim and eventually paid a $175,000 settlement to our client.

Shuttle Bus Accident
- Our client was injured on a Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Shuttle when the shuttle driver crashed into another car.
- Our client came to Lara Law Firm after being told by two other law firms that her case was worthless because she had missed the six-month statute of limitations for filing a claim against the county agency.
- Lara Law Firm took her case and soon thereafter discovered that the shuttle was a private company hired by LA County on an independent contractor basis, which meant the statute of limitations was 2 years and not 6 months.
- Lara Law Firm filed a claim for the client and negotiated a $100,000 settlement.
$125,000
Restaurant Trip and Fall
- Our client was injured when she tripped on an unsafe step in the interior of a local restaurant.
- The insurance adjuster refused to pay anything more than $11,000, arguing that our client was not looking where she was walking.
- Lara Law Firm researched the California State Building Codes, national industry standard safety building codes, and international standard safety building codes, all of which stated that the step was unsafe and lacked the proper markings and handrails.
- Lara Law Firm also uncovered evidence that the restaurant owner destroyed surveillance video of the accident after learning of the lawsuit.
- When confronted with the building code violations and other evidence that Lara Law Firm uncovered, the insurance company increased its settlement offer from $11,000 to $125,000.
