Los Angeles Personal Injury and Product Liability Office

Los Angeles County produces more product injury claims than anywhere else in California, and not by a small margin. It is the state’s largest consumer market, its busiest port of entry for imported goods, and the home of an enormous rental and multifamily housing stock. Defective electronics, lithium battery fires in e-bikes and scooters, imported children’s products, and unsafe conditions in older apartment buildings all show up here in volume.

Distance and traffic also shape how a claim is built. Evidence sits where the injury happened, so a defective appliance recovered from a Boyle Heights kitchen or a scooter burned in a Koreatown garage needs to be collected and stored before a landlord, an insurer or a fleet operator disposes of it. Being based in the county means we can send someone to look at the scene while it still exists.

The office handles the full range of the division’s work, from vehicle collisions on the 10 and the 101 to premises claims and catastrophic product cases. Consultations are free, and we will meet you at a hospital or at home if travel is difficult after an injury.
