      <title>Avrek Law Firm Represents Five Construction Workers Badly Injured After 91 Freeway on Ramp Collapses</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Avrek Law is pursuing compensation on behalf of five construction workers who were injured after an on-ramp bridge in construction along the 91 Freeway in Corona partially collapsed late Friday.</p><p>Irvine, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/13/2015 --  Avrek Law Firm has been contacted by five of the nine construction workers injured in Corona to represent them in a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="construction site injury claim" href="http://www.avrek.com/legal-services/workers-comp-lawyer/construction-accident/">construction site injury claim</a>, after the partial collapse of an on ramp bridge at around 11 p.m. on Friday. The collapse occurred as workers were lowering the bridge into place at East Grand Boulevard when the jacking operation failed. The bridge dropped more than a foot, hitting wooden support beams which in turn hit the workers.<br />
<br />
Initially, the county Transportation Commission said 10 workers were injured, but revised that figure to nine. All of the injured workers were transported to local hospitals, where one was released and three remain in critical condition. <br />
<br />
Assistance funds have been created and will be matched up to $5,000 per worker injured. All of the injured workers have the choice to sign up for the non-tax-deductible fund, Riverside County Transportation Commission executive director Anne Mayer said in an interview earlier this week. <br />
<br />
The workers are also eligible for workers compensation, including medical care and disability benefits. There is no timeline for the investigations, but Mayer said past experience leads her to believe it could take up to six months. Avrek Law Firm will represent five of the injured parties as they seek a rightful <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Riverside personal injury claim" href="http://www.avrek.com/legal-services/personal-injury-lawyer//">Riverside personal injury claim</a> for their injuries, as the legacies of those injuries become clear. <br />
<br />
A spokesperson for Avrek Law Firm explained, "This was a devastating blow to the construction workers who were caught by the falling wooden beams. One thing is very clear right now, and that is that these victims will carry the consequences of this trauma for the rest of their lives. We will be investigating the specifics of what happened and why so that we can better understand who the responsible parties are, and pursue them to ensure they deliver the rightful compensation these men richly deserve."<br />

Orange County Fire Authority paramedics transported the injured man to a hospital, where he died shortly afterward, according to the Sheriff&apos;s Department.

      <title>Avrek Law Firm Successfully Takes Legal Action Against Tire Manufacturers and Auto Manufacturer After SUV Rollover</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Avrek Law Firm has won a mid seven-figure settlement after pursuing claims against tire manufacturers and sellers who contributed to an SUV Rollover causing severe injuries.</p><p>Irvine, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/07/2015 --  In 2013, a used tire was sold to one Mr. Doe by a tire store in escrow, to be sold about the same time.  The tire sellers installed the tire on Mr. Doe&apos;s SUV. Three months later, Mr. Doe&apos;s daughter drove her mother to church on the freeway when the tread separated and yanked the vehicle hard right. As she tried to correct the lurch by steering to the left, the SUV rolled owing to its inherent instability, spinning four times and crushing the roof, blocking two lanes of traffic upside down in the road. Avrek Law were instructed to pursue justice on behalf of the injured parties.<br />
<br />
Due to the predictable and inherent weaknesses in the SUV roof, this rollover crash resulted in significant roof crush after the car&apos;s inherent instability caused the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="SUV rollover" href="http://www.avrek.com/legal-services/accident-lawyer/car-accident/types/">SUV rollover</a>, after the tire manufacturer and seller allowed a faulty tire to be installed on the car. <br />
<br />
The driver suffered closed head concussion, numerous cuts and bruises on her left shoulder, right arm, left fingers, hips, ribcage, both legs and left foot.  She was hospitalized for three days after the accident.<br />
<br />
Mrs. Doe suffered closed-head injury, blunt head trauma, subdural hematoma, a coma lasting weeks resulting in traumatic brain injury, and a fractured pelvis.  These injuries have rendered her a dependent and incapacitated adult.<br />
<br />
Avrek Law Firm filed a complaint against the auto manufacturer and tire manufacturer for strict-product liability, negligent <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="product liability" href="http://www.avrek.com/blog/injuries-caused-negligent-acts-others/">product liability</a>, and negligent infliction of emotional distress and loss of consortium.  <br />
<br />
A spokesperson for Avrek Law Firm explained, "We contended that the tire and the SUV were both defectively designed.  The Complaint also plead that the individual and corporate persons comprising the tire shop negligently inspected, failed to warn and sold the tire to Mr. Doe. We are pleased to announce we were successful in resolving the claims for mid seven figures during a confidential mediation to our clients&apos; satisfaction."<br />

      <title>Avrek Law Firm Wins $1.25 Million Settlement on Behalf of Police Brutality Victim Jaime Duran</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Jaime Duran suffered two broken legs after being beaten by deputies of the Kern County Sherriff’s Department, and Avrek Law Firm secured $1.25 million compensation for the victim.</p><p>Irvine, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/17/2015 --  Jaime Duran is a Bakersfield man allegedly beaten by deputies of the Kern County Sheriff&apos;s Department, and filed a law suit against them. Criminal charges were never filed against the deputies, but Jaime Duran asked the civil courts to rule their actions unconstitutional. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Avrek Law Firm police brutality" href="http://www.avrek.com/legal-services/personal-injury-lawyer/police-brutality-lawyer/">Avrek Law Firm police brutality</a> lawyer Maryam Parman represented Duran, and sought $1.25 million in damages after he suffered two broken legs.<br />
<br />
The suit claimed Duran was arrested and beaten with no cause, and a civil suit enables Duran to have his case heard by a jury. Jaime Duran&apos;s attorney Maryam Parman of Avrek Law Firm therefore filed a civil suit against the Kern County Sheriff&apos;s Department, and two of their deputies, namely Aaron Nadal and Asencion Plaza.<br />
<br />
The suit made clear that Duran was "intentionally arrested and beaten without justification" by the deputies, and a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="victim of police brutality" href="http://www.avrek.com/legal-services/personal-injury-lawyer/police-brutality-lawyer/">victim of police brutality</a>. Officials said Jaime Duran was chased by deputies after a truck near Duran burst into flames. They said Duran resisted arrest and was beaten. The suit alleged the deputies "struck and beat him without provocation." District Attorney Lisa Green decided not to file charges because they could not get a conviction. <br />
<br />
Maryam Parman, Duran&apos;s attorney, made a statement the victory, "In contrast to the DA we felt this would be a slam dunk conviction. I think the people of Bakersfield and the County of Kern deserve a lot better. We saw justice for our client, for whom the beating was a violation of his constitutional rights."<br />
<br />
The suit also alleged the Sheriff&apos;s Department failed to provide adequate training and discipline. In an interview, Duran told 17 News the beating destroyed him, "I feel they ruined my life. I can&apos;t play football. I can&apos;t play soccer. I got a lot of post trauma. I can&apos;t sleep at night. I walk with a cane."<br />
<br />
Despite the settlement, Deputies Nadal and Plaza are still employed with the Kern County Sheriff&apos;s Department.<br />

      <title>Avrek Law Firm Begins Legal-Awareness Campaign Following Recent Train Accident</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The firm is working to ensure that everyone understands how fault is determined and what the legal rights are for all victims.</p><p>Irvine, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/17/2015 --  The recent spate of train derailments and train/vehicle accidents has left many people wondering what the rights are for the innocent passengers on these trains. These people often have their lives changed forever following an incident such as this. The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Avrek Law Firm" href="http://www.avrek.com">Avrek Law Firm</a> understands this concern and has recently created an informational blog regarding how liability is determined in these incidents and what this means for those involved.<br />
<br />
It is well-known that the legal system provides protection for those who are injured in incidents where they were not at fault. Victims are able to receive payment for bills related directly to the accident as well as for pain and suffering. Avrek attorney Alexander Sanchez explained how the determination of liability is reached.<br />
<br />
"Obviously, the person who causes an accident is considered responsible. The Oxnard train crash that occurred at the end of February was caused by a driver who accidentally drove onto the tracks and then abandoned his vehicle and fled. There is no question that he holds a great deal of responsibility in this incident."<br />
<br />
However, Sanchez also explained that there can be others held liable as well. In this case the employer of the truck driver is an example of a third-party that may be named in a lawsuit following an accident. "Investigations are on-going at this time into this incident, because the full cause of the accident needs to be determined." Stated Sanchez. "If the tracks were not properly maintained, those in charge of this task could be considered at-fault as well."<br />
<br />
The company wants everyone to realize that whether it was this incident or any other <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="train accident lawyers" href="http://www.avrek.com/blog/oxnard-commuter-train-crash-railroad-accident-attorney-report/">train accident lawyers</a> are available to go over your case and help you to understand your rights. Because of the severity of some of these cases, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="train accident injuries" href="http://www.avrek.com/legal-services/personal-injury-lawyer/">train accident injuries</a> can leave people struggling to recover and pay their bills for years. This is exactly what personal injury law  was designed to compensate.<br />
<br />
"When we meet with a client," Sanchez explained, "we research the full incident, interview witnesses and review any other evidence that exists regarding how the client has been affected. We use all of these facts to determine what the value for the pain, loss and injuries should be and then we fight to see that our clients get what they need. "<br />
<br />
The experts at Avrek understands that the injured parties will often attempt to settle these cases on their own, but Sanchez advises strongly against this. "Insurance companies often either refuse compensation or they will offer the smallest amount they feel will be accepted. Their job is to protect their own interests and the interests of their clients. They are not interested in being fair. Only a qualified attorney with experience dealing with corporations and the insurance industry will be able to negotiate with these companies to get a fair and reasonable settlement."<br />

      <title>Avrek Law Firm Secures $7 Million Settlement for Client Who Was Critically Injured in Traffic Collision</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Avrek Law Firm’s Maryam and Melody Parman have landed a just settlement of seven million dollars after two people were hit by a truck while driving their vehicle at night.</p><p>Irvine, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 02/20/2015 --  Justice is essential to the functioning of a modern society, but is all too often evaded. That is why lawyers must be passionate as it is through such passions that <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Avrek Law Firm&apos;s Maryam and Melody Parman helped secure $7 million settlement" href="http://avrek.com">Avrek Law Firm&apos;s Maryam and Melody Parman helped secure $7 million settlement</a> on behalf of their client Rosanna Moreno. <br />
<br />
The details of the case involved two people being in critical condition after a traffic collision at Cherry Avenue and Grand Avenue in Beaumont.  The Rosanna was a passenger when they rear-ended a parked vehicle with a flatbed trailer attached. This <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="auto vs truck" href="http://www.avrek.com/case-results/">auto vs truck</a> accident came about because the truck had no reflectors, meaning the collision happened at approximately 60mph. The car became lodged in the back of the flatbed trailer, and the driver fled the scene, leaving the Rosanna trapped in the vehicle.<br />
<br />
The incident was reported at 9:25 p.m., and Cal Fire spokeswoman Melody Hendrickson reports that both patients were cut and rescued from their vehicles by 9:56 p.m. <br />
<br />
Both were then taken to the hospital with major injuries, one via ground ambulance and the other via Mercy Air ambulance. Despite this action, Rosanna suffered severe brain injuries and is unable to look after her 2 minor children, Natalie, 7 years old, and Delilah, 8 years old.<br />
<br />
A spokesperson for Avrek Law Firm explained, "What happened here is a tragedy, and it is the least we can do to try and see the scales balanced. This settlement goes some way toward achieving that, at least. We are pleased to say that the courts agreed with our assessment of the total prospective cost of the damage done not only to the victims themselves but to their children, who are also victims, now at risk of growing up without their mother." <br />

      <title>Maryam Parman of Avrek Law Firm Helps Secure $19 Million Verdict in Auto vs. Auto Case</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Avrek Law has won a landmark verdict on behalf of a young mother who suffered catastrophic brain injuries after her car was rear ended  by another driver at 65 miles per hour, securing $19M.</p><p>Irvine, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/29/2015 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Personal Injury Attorneys" href="http://avrek.com">Personal Injury Attorneys</a> are sometimes looked upon as sharks preying on a litigious system, but this is an unfair representation of lawyers who fight on behalf of individuals against giant institutions, insurance companies, governmental entities, corporations and their legal teams to find justice for those who have been injured through no fault of their own. One such case was a rear end collision in which a mother was left in a persistent vegetative state after being crashed into at 65mph by a negligent driver. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Maryam Parman of Avrek Law Firm Helped Secure $19 Million Verdict in Auto vs. Auto Case" href="http://www.avrek.com/case-results/">Maryam Parman of Avrek Law Firm Helped Secure $19 Million Verdict in Auto vs. Auto Case</a>.<br />
<br />
Maryam Parman on behalf of Averk Law Firm in Irvine pursued the Auto vs Auto claim following a rear end collision on Nov. 27, 2011, when the plaintiff Michelle Paola Marin, 22, was driving a 1992 Honda on the eastbound Interstate 10 freeway. Her vehicle broke down near Grand Ave. in West Covina. While stalled, the plaintiff&apos;s vehicle was rear-ended by the defendant Maryann Ganuelas.<br />
<br />
Maryam Parman fought on behalf of the plaintiff, claiming that the defendant driver was negligent, driving at an unsafe speed and failed to keep a lookout due to being distracted, likely by a cellular phone. Maryam also argued that the defendants negligently owned, maintained, operated, and entrusted their vehicle to their daughter Maryann Ganuelas.  Ms. Gaunuelas had $100K policy with the Auto Club which was not timely and unconditionally tendered to plaintiff resulting in the excess $19 Million Verdict after a 10 day jury trial in Pasadena.<br />
<br />
The plaintiff&apos;s own car had broken down due to poor maintenance, having some 275,000 miles on the clock at the time of the accident, when it stalled for approximately 10 minutes before being hit by the defendant. <br />
<br />
As a result of the accident, plaintiff Michelle Marin who was 22 at the time, suffered catastrophic brain injury and has been in a persistent vegetative state with a nine-year life expectancy.<br />
<br />
A spokesperson for Avrek Law Firm explained, "At the time of the accident Michelle had a 15 month old baby. He is 5 years old now. While it is unthinkable to quantify the value of a mother to a child, we had to do so in order to seek justice on behalf of the victim of this tragic incident, and seek compensation that takes into account not just the suffering still being endured by a vegetative Michelle, but the impact on her family and dependents. We feel justice has been served by this verdict, but take no pleasure in achieving justice under such tragic circumstances."<br />

      <title>Avrek Law Wins Injury Case Against San Bernardino After Multiple Accidents on Washed out Bridge</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Avrek Law has succeeded in getting a $396K verdict for a plaintiff against San Bernardino County after a washed-out bridge caused dangerous road conditions for drivers.</p><p>Irvine, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/16/2015 --  Avrek Law has won a landmark case against the county of San Bernardino after a driver ran off a roadway into dry river bed because of a washed-out bridge, where warnings were found to be inadequate to warn of the danger. In Branson et. al, v. County of San Bernardino and County of San Bernardino v. James Schultz. Judge the Hon. Pamela King determined James Schultz, a 44 year old iron worker and Loren Branson a 44 year old tile worker, were entitled to $255,706.48 and $141,228.30 respectively after a single car collision that occurred on September 18, 2011 on Hinkley Road in the city of Barstow and the County of San Bernardino.<br />
<br />
The portion of Hinkley Road contained a washed out bridge crossing over the Mojave River. In 2010, the bridge was damaged due to erosion caused by the current of the Mojave River. Avrek Law claimed this <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="washed-out bridge caused dangerous road conditions" href="http://www.avrek.com/locations/san-bernardino/">washed-out bridge caused dangerous road conditions</a>. James Schultz was driving Loren Branson as they explored the desert landscape and surrounding area in Mr. Schultz&apos;s truck. There were no signs or barricades or other form of notice that the bridge had washed out. Unable to stop his vehicle, his truck plunged approximately 10 feet into a sand-bed below. Barricades and dirt beams were placed on the north side of the washed out bridge, roughly a quarter of a mile away. <br />
<br />
In the incident, Loren Branson sustained lower back injuries and James Schultz sustained a fractured sternum. Thanks to an impassioned claim by Avrek Law Firm on their behalf, the judge determined that the driver had not been negligent and that the county&apos;s measures to keep the road safe were insufficient. This resulted in an <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Avrek Law $396K verdict against San Bernardino County" href="http://avrek.com">Avrek Law $396K verdict against San Bernardino County</a>.<br />
<br />
A spokesperson for Avrek Law Firm explained, "We are thrilled to be able to secure a verdict worth almost four hundred thousand dollars for our clients, and this amount speaks to how we always pursue the full claim amount that reflects the costs of medical care, rehabilitation, loss of earnings and emotional trauma caused by the accident." <br />

      <title>December 31st Deadline for Avrek Law Firm's DriveSafe Scholarship Contest Approaches</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Avrek DriveSafe Scholarship Contest will help educate young people about the dangers of texting and driving, producing a $5,000 scholarship for top entry, Avrek Law Firm reports</p><p>Irvine, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/24/2014 --  The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Avrek Law Firm" href="http://www.avrek.com/">Avrek Law Firm</a>, one of California&apos;s leading personal injury law firms, announced that the deadline for entries to the firm&apos;s DriveSafe Scholarship Contest will be on December 31st, 2014. A product of the firm&apos;s commitment to spreading awareness about the dangers of distracted driving, the Avrek DriveSafe Scholarship Contest will award scholarships of up to $5,000 to students whose videos on the subject receive the most views on video-sharing site YouTube. Full details and the contest&apos;s terms and conditions can be found at the the Avrek Law Firm website.<br />
<br />
"With many great entries already, the deadline for submissions to our DriveSafe Scholarship Contest is coming up quickly," Avrek Law Firm representative Alexander Sanchez said, "We know that there are plenty more entries on the way and look forward to seeing what upcoming entrants dream up." Authorities including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are virtually unanimous in pointing out driver distraction as the single most common cause of vehicular accidents nationwide. Although texting or using a handheld mobile device while driving is illegal in California, a shocking proportion of the approximately 2,700 deaths and 230,000 injuries suffered in vehicular accidents annually can be traced back to such behaviors.<br />
<br />
As one of the state&apos;s leading personal injury law firms, the Avrek Law Firm has developed an especially pointed institutional understanding of the seriousness of the issue. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Avrek Law Irvine Car Accident Lawyers" href="http://www.avrek.com/legal-services/accident-lawyer/car-accident/">Avrek Law Irvine Car Accident Lawyers</a> regularly offer help and much needed legal representation to people who were injured in car accidents because of the distracted driving of others, having secured a number of multi-million-dollar settlements for such clients. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Avrek Law Personal Injury Attorneys" href="http://www.avrek.com/legal-services/personal-injury-lawyer/">Avrek Law Personal Injury Attorneys</a> have also obtained much-needed settlements and judgments for an unfortunate number of families who suffered the loss of loved ones in fatal accidents that were similarly the fault of distracted drivers.<br />
<br />
The Avrek DriveSafe Scholarship Contest was designed to help spread awareness of this problem, both by helping young people become better educated themselves as they research their video entries and by encouraging the creation of videos that will inform and enlighten viewers. The contest has already produced a number of creative entries, and Avrek Law Firm representatives expect the field to become even more impressive as the deadline for submissions approaches.<br />
<br />
The Avrek DriveSafe Scholarship Contest is only one of a number of the firm&apos;s many community-oriented commitments. The Avrek Law Firm is also a sponsor of the Special Olympics, the Huntington Beach Walk Like MADD event, and the Someone Cares Soup Kitchen in Costa Mesa. In addition to being one of Southern California&apos;s most successful and highly regarded personal injury law firms, then, the Avrek Law Firm is therefore also one of those most involved in positive ways outside of the firm&apos;s core mission of providing the best legal representation available.<br />
<br />
Avrek Law Firm representatives remind students that, though the deadline of December 31st is coming up soon, there is still plenty of time to enter the Avrek DriveSafe Scholarship Contest and potentially win a scholarship as large as $5,000. The 10 finalists in the contest will be announced on February 28 of next year, with the winners being announced on March 20. More information about the contest is available on the Avrek Law Firm website, where details about the firm&apos;s legal services can also be found, and visitors can sign up for free consultations regarding their own cases.<br />
