In nearly a decade of defending insurance companies, one gap in a claimant's file came up again and again: the treatment gap. Adrenaline can mask pain for hours, even days, after an accident. People feel fine, skip the doctor, and go home. Then the real pain shows up days later. By then, the adjuster has one question ready: why did you wait? And they'll use that gap to argue something else caused the injury, not the accident. My advice to every client: get checked out within 24 to 48 hours, even if you feel fine. It protects your health and your claim. #PersonalInjuryLaw #SantaClarita #CarAccidentLawyer #InsuranceClaims #KnowYourRights #THeMasonLawFirm #MasonRashtian #SantaClaritaPersonalInjuryLawyer #SantaClaritaPersonalInjuryAttorney

Some leaders build companies. Others build movements for people who need someone willing to fight when the system feels impossible. Todd Becker, founder of Becker Law Group, has been named to the Los Angeles Business Journal’s LA500, recognizing the most influential leaders in Los Angeles. The recognition comes during a defining year for Todd and our firm. https://lnkd.in/gxmSxymd Becker Law Group is representing survivors in some of the most consequential cases in California, including claims tied to the historic Los Angeles County sexual abuse settlement and the Eaton Fire devastation in Altadena and surrounding communities. But the work has never been about headlines. It is about people. People who were harmed. People who were ignored. People who deserve answers. People who deserve accountability. Todd’s leadership has helped shape Becker Law Group into a firm built for high-stakes moments and human stories that demand to be heard. Congratulations, Todd. This recognition is well deserved. #LA500 #LosAngeles #Leadership #PlaintiffLaw #Justice #Accountability #BeckerLawGroup

A $40 million arbitration award is putting renewed attention on Uber’s responsibility for the actions of its drivers. The case involved 23-year-old Emily Normandin-Parker, who was struck and killed by traffic after her Uber driver stopped in a gore point between a highway and an exit ramp. The arbitrator found both Uber and the driver liable, awarding $20 million to each of her parents. The case is especially notable because it was decided in private arbitration, not by a jury, highlighting how significant rideshare claims can still be resolved outside the courtroom.

The most exciting part of a case is...selecting the jurors?   In part one of this two-part episode of Coopers' Code, Miles Cooper sits down with trial lawyer Jeff Mitchell, the man behind the two largest medical malpractice verdicts in California history.   They discuss the art (and the necessity) of properly selecting the jury, and Jeff discusses why having sharp instincts for "reading the room" helps determine the outcome of the case before opening statements even begin.   To listen to the full episode, click on the links below.   . . #legalpractice #lawyerpodcast #personalinjuryattorney
