California attorney Robert A. Brenner has been serving as an advocate for the victims of auto accidents for over three decades.

Woodland Hills, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/12/2010 -- Auto accidents are the cause of severe and sometimes life-threatening injuries. "Many auto accidents occur because of the negligence of others," stated Robert A. Brenner, a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, California. Some of the most serious auto accidents cause catastrophic injuries like amputations, damage to the spine, and head trauma. These types of debilitating injuries are the focus of Brenner's practice.

Brenner has been practicing personal injury law for over three decades. His experience with victims of serious injuries has been extensive. Not only has he been a legal advocate, but he also has been dedicated to providing victims with helpful information about their injuries. Brenner's Web site www.Catastrophicinjury.com offers a medical guide about catastrophic injuries, a list of rehabilitation centers, and information about a victim's legal rights.

Minor auto accidents do not usually result in serious injuries and people usually recover quickly. "It is the serious accidents," said Brenner, "that require substantial medical treatment." Often an auto accident victim must not only find a way to pay for the medical treatment they need, but they must also find a way to support themselves financially. "Most often," stated Brenner, "when the injuries are so severe that the person is no longer able to work, it is often necessary to recover compensation from the person at fault." Most claims involve auto insurance companies.

Brenner's job is to help his clients recover compensation for the injuries they sustained. "Compensation should provide for medical treatment, lost income, and pain and suffering," stated Brenner. In personal injury cases, attorneys use experts to calculate damages. Compensation not only includes reimbursement for past medical treatment and lost wages, but a damage award will include an amount for future medical treatment. In this situation, for example, an attorney will use a life care planner to calculate the cost of prospective medical care. "It is really important to employ experts that know what they are doing because it is the client that will suffer if the damage award is insufficient," remarked Brenner. Personal injury attorneys like Brenner have years of experience using the assistance of experts to determine damage awards.

California attorney Robert A. Brenner helps clients recover compensation for the wrongful death of a loved one.

Woodland Hills, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2009 -- The most publicized wrongful deaths are homicides, but wrongful deaths that do not make headlines do occur. Many wrongful deaths are caused by accidents that may result in immediate death or may create such severe injuries that the victim later dies from complications related to those injuries. While the victim's pain and suffering ends, it often continues for the family left to grieve for the loss of their spouse, parent, or loved one.

"The wrongful death of a loved one can be devastating," said Los Angeles, California attorney Robert A. Brenner. "Family members not only have to deal with the grief caused by the death of someone they loved, but sometimes anger is also an emotion." A wrongful death is a legal claim that surviving family members of a decedent can bring against the person responsible for the death.

Brenner is a personal injury attorney who has been helping families recover compensation for the death of a loved for nearly thirty-five years. Brenner's a law practice focuses on helping those suffering from severe personal injuries. Brenner, however, also focuses his practice on offering legal guidance to people dealing with the loss of a family member. Brenner's use of expert testimony in these types of difficult cases has helped him recover multi-million dollar damage awards for his clients.

Sometimes family members are entitled to receive compensation for the death of a person they loved. "The law allows this for several reasons," commented Brenner. "If, for example, the victim was the primary wage earner, a spouse or children may be harmed by their death." Family members can recover economic damages for burial and funeral costs, loss of expected income, and medical costs. "There are some types of damages that really are difficult to place a value on, but the law attempts to compensate people for those types of injury." Brenner is referring to noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering, the loss of spending time with the person, the loss of guidance, and the loss of consortium.

No matter what occupation employed in, workers are increasingly at risk of sustaining serious injuries from electrical accidents. Bob Brenner addresses the risks and injuries of working around electricity.

Woodland Hills, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/24/2009 -- According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), one person dies every workday from electrocution, shock, arc flash, and arc blast and 8,000 are treated in emergency rooms each year. Regardless of the industry, electricity is prevalent at most places of work. Although government regulations provide safety standards for working with electricity, electrical accidents still do happen.

"Unfortunately," said Robert A. Brenner, a personal injury attorney from Los Angeles, California, "electrical accidents still occur even under conditions where safety procedures are followed." Nevertheless, these guidelines, such as the NFPA's standard for de-energizing electrical equipment prior to working with it, have created safer working environments. Brenner has become familiar with electrical accidents through his representation of numerous clients that have suffered from injuries sustained from contact with electric current.

"I meet with clients after the injury has already occurred and most of the time the injuries are severe," stated Brenner. "Sometimes, an electrical accident leads to the death of a worker. These are the most difficult cases because of the agony experienced by the family of the victim. Dealing with the death of a loved one who dies in such an unforeseen way is always difficult." The most common types of injuries from electrical current include electrocution, electric shock, burns, and falls from a ladder or scaffold. Besides sustaining an injury from direct contact with electricity, injuries can result from thermal burns, flash burns, flame burns, and high voltage contact burns.

"Injuries resulting from electricity can cause severe pain and may require medical treatment," stated Brenner. These injuries often result in a lifestyle change since many workers are unable to return to working in the same profession. "My goal is to help my clients recover the necessary compensation for their pain and suffering, loss of income, and medical treatment. We use experts to help calculate these costs." Besides compensation for injured workers, family members of a deceased worker may be entitled to damages for the death of their loved.

Robert A. Brenner’s California personal injury law firm has been working to help the victims of motorcycle accidents receive compensation.

Woodland Hills, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2009 -- Motorcyclists are at a distinct disadvantage on the roadways because other drivers often do not see them. This has been the cause of many motorcycle accidents. Consequently, motorcyclists are more at risk of injury or death when an accident with a vehicle occurs. "When a motorcyclist is injured in an accident, the injuries are often quite severe," said attorney Robert A. Brenner. Injuries may include brain trauma, spinal cord damage, and severe disfigurement.

Brenner's Los Angeles, California law firm has handled numerous motorcycle accident cases. Since beginning his personal injury practice, Brenner's use of medical specialists, economists, and other experts has helped him recover compensation for motorcycle accident victims. Some motorcycle accidents result in catastrophic injuries; this is Brenner's specialty. He regularly represents victims that suffer from devastating injuries like brain trauma, spinal cord damage, and amputation injuries.

"We often have to use experts to help calculate what it will cost to provide medical treatment for an injured motorcyclist," remarked Brenner. Brenner's firm uses experts like life care planners to help determine a damage award. A life care plan is an essential part of building a case for damages. A plan will assess what it will cost to provide medical treatment for a victim and will account for the loss of a person's ability to earn a living. A motorcycle accident victim can also recover damages for pain and suffering.

"The really difficult cases," commented Brenner, "are the situations where the motorcyclist has died as a result of their injuries." Brenner also represents the families of motorcyclists. Under certain circumstances, surviving family members can receive compensation for the death of a loved one. "Many people," explained Brenner, "feel uncomfortable about placing a value on human life, but there are practical reasons for doing so." Brenner explains that in many situations the loss of a loved one also creates a financial loss as well. Eligible family members can recover compensation for the loss of a loved one's income and for less quantifiable injuries like the loss of companionship.

Los Angeles-based attorney Robert A. Brenner addresses the serious injuries sustained by motorcyclists in accidents with vehicles.

Woodland Hills, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/28/2009 -- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) July 20009 report, "Motorcyclists Injured in Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents" (DOT HS 811 149), found that injuries sustained by motorcyclists increased 110 percent from 1998 to 2007. The number jumped from 49,000 in 1998 to 103,000 in 2007.

"Motorcycle accidents can result in debilitating injuries, permanent disfigurement, or even death," says California motorcycle accident attorney Robert A. Brenner. "As a motorcycle enthusiast, I understand the dangers that motorcyclists face every time they ride."

The NHTSA report found that two-thirds of all motorcycle accidents with vehicles occurred from April to September, more than 60 percent occurred during the daytime, and only 63 percent or 65,000 motorcyclists out of the 103,000 were helmeted at the time of the crash.

The Law Offices of Robert A. Brenner is a legal advocate for those suffering from injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents. Brenner has been a long-time accident attorney representing motorcyclists. Among those he has helped, he is responsible for a $500,000 recovery for the plaintiff in Medin v. City of Oxnard. The plaintiff's collision with a pickup truck resulted in a fractured femur, tibia, and fibula, and an open reduction internal fixation.

"When a person's negligence results in serious injury or the wrongful death of a motorcyclist, compensation to the victim or the victim's family can help pay for the medical costs or compensate for the loss of life," says Brenner. "Every person owes a duty to act as a reasonable and prudent would in the same or similar circumstances. The failure to do this can sometimes lead to serious financial consequences for the person at fault, even when the result is unintended."

Catastrophic injury attorney Robert A. Brenner of the Catastrophic Injury Law Group is working to offer informative resources and legal guidance to victims of catastrophic injuries.

Woodland Hills, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/25/2009 -- Catastrophic injuries have devastating effects on those injured and on their family members. No amount of preparation can prepare a person for the long-term medical consequences of a catastrophic injury. A catastrophic injury includes injuries to the spinal cord, accidental amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures, or neurological disorders.

"Catastrophic injury victims and their family often become overwhelmed with the medical costs associated with treating their injuries," said Los Angeles, California attorney Robert A. Brenner, founder of the Catastrophic Injury Law Group, which is comprised of a nationwide group of attorneys dedicated to the representation of catastrophic injury victims. "Costly treatment may include rehabilitation and care from therapists and specialists. Unfortunately, people fail to realize that when someone else is at fault for their injuries, this financial burden is not theirs alone."

Brenner launched the Catastrophic Resource Center as an online source for victims and their families to learn more about catastrophic injuries and their legal rights. The center offers a medical care guide, a legal guide, a list of rehabilitation centers and support groups, and a forum dedicated to the discussion of catastrophic injuries.

"It is important for people to understand their legal rights," said Brenner. "Personal injury law provides various remedies that include monetary recovery for someone else's negligence or workers' compensation benefits if the injury is work-related. A person suffering from a catastrophic injury may recover an award for past and future medical costs, rehabilitation, lost earnings, and pain and suffering."
