Law Firm Overview

Bailey & Partners is a team of lawyers dedicated to the success of every case, including complex business litigation for high-profile aviation clients, bad faith insurance claims, and a host of matters helping our clients obtain recovery for harm caused by another's negligence. Every time someone enlists us to handle a personal injury or wrongful death matter, we commit ourselves to achieving maximum compensation. This approach has been very successful for us and for our clients.

No matter what your case involves — from car accidents to aviation accidents — we will show you how we earned our record for proven success.

Our serious and professional approach to personal injury and wrongful death cases has not only helped us get millions of dollars of compensation for our clients, it has also earned us the respect of our peers:

* We are members of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), an invitation-only organization that our peers have voted to include us in.
* We are AV®-rated* under Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review rating system.
* We are the law firm that other attorneys turn to when they need further assistance for their clients. Our team frequently receives referrals of complex cases from our peers because they know that we are willing to provide the level of quality representation necessary.
* Southern California Super Lawyer, 2007-2008

While other law firms frequently brag about their willingness to be aggressive and to fight for results, we have found that this approach is rarely effective. We want to get something from our opponents. We want them to provide our clients with full and fair compensation. More often than not, we find that relying on a carefully planned strategy is the most effective way to meet that goal.

Because of our strategic approach to handling your lawsuit, we can take on the most complex personal injury and wrongful death cases, including those involving aviation accidents. We are skilled in negotiation and trial practice, ready to get results in any forum.

Practice Areas

Bailey & Partners provides legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:

- Aviation Accidents

From accidents involving small, single passenger airplanes to those involving large commercial jets, the law firm of Bailey & Partners is uniquely equipped to address all plane crash cases. Our lead attorney is an experienced pilot with firsthand knowledge of the world of aviation. That knowledge, in addition to more than 25 years of legal experience, means that we know how to get the results you need.

Our law office is committed to helping plane crash victims in Santa Monica, California, and throughout the United States.

We will strive to get you compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other costs. However, our firm is dedicated to seeing beyond just financial recovery. We can help you find the right medical experts who can assess the best path to your physical recovery as well.

Plane crash cases can be very complex. Our firsthand knowledge of aviation will be supplemented by the work of trusted experts and dedicated investigators to investigate a wide range of issues, including product integrity, weather issues, pilot error and complex human factors, air traffic control matters and much more. We will take great care to gather all of the details we believe are necessary to make your case a success.

We can handle all types of plane crash cases, including accidents during take off, accidents at landing and mid-air collisions.

- Car Accidents

If you or someone you care about has been involved in an auto crash, you probably have two concerns:

* Getting compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other costs
* Physically recovering from the car accident

The lawyers at the law firm of Bailey & Partners are here to help with both. With more than 25 years of experience, we know how to achieve results that meet your needs.

Our law firm is available to put our experience to work helping car accident victims in Santa Monica, California, and throughout the United States.

With our extensive experience handling these matters, we know that many car accidents are caused by obvious negligence: drinking and driving, speeding, falling asleep at the wheel, running red lights, talking on cell phones while driving and other similar scenarios.

We also understand that liability isn't obvious in every case. It may seem that one party is solely liable, but a good attorney can identify other responsible parties. We take pride in doing a thorough investigation to find out who is responsible.

We can handle a wide variety of accident cases, including those in which the manufacturer is responsible because of a defective car design that causes rollover. We know how to handle these types of product liability cases, but we know how to look even deeper as well. We can determine if a defective roadway played a part in causing a crash. When you enlist us, you can be certain that we will consider every angle in our quest for getting you compensation.

- Helicopter Accidents

At the law firm of Bailey & Partners, you will find a team of lawyers with more than 25 years of experience handling accident cases. In addition to that experience, we have another factor that we believe gives us an advantage in helicopter accident cases. Our lead attorney is a pilot with firsthand knowledge of the world of aviation. We have what it takes to represent you in the most complex cases and achieve results that meet your goals.

Our law office is dedicated to taking on helicopter crash cases in Santa Monica, California, and throughout the United States.

When you turn to us, you can be certain that we will carefully design a strategy to get you the compensation you need for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and other costs. We are also ready to help you achieve more than just financial recovery. We can help you find the right medical experts to assess the best route to your physical recovery as well.

Navigating through a helicopter crash case can be tricky. First of all, not all helicopters are the same. Different makes and models of helicopters each present their own potential defects and operational hazards. When determining pilot error, many factors need to be taken into consideration. To strengthen our existing knowledge of these matters, we will bring in a wide range of experts and investigators. We will work closely with them to gather all of the facts that we need. Then we will piece those facts together with a legal strategy designed to maximize your compensation.

- Wrongful Death

Have you lost a loved one due to an act of negligence? The law firm of Bailey & Partners is here for you.

We know how serious these cases are. We know that although you and your family may not have suffered a physical injury, the emotional damage that has been done by the loss of a loved one is just as severe. You have the right to see that those who caused the wrongful death are held accountable. You have the right to seek compensation for the loss of financial support. We will help you every step of the way.

Our law firm is committed to serving the families of wrongful death victims. We are here to see that your needs are addressed immediately. We are here to see that things are made as right as they can possibly be.

With more than 25 years of experience on our side, we know how to get results. In fact, we have built a record for proven success that includes numerous multimillion-dollar awards in personal injury and wrongful death cases. When we take a case, we are prepared to make the most of your case by collaborating with leading experts who can assess liability and damages resulting from accidents. We will strategize carefully to see that you get the results you deserve.

- Product Liability

With more than 25 years of experience on our side, we know how to get results. At the law firm of Bailey & Partners, you will find a group of attorneys ready to go above and beyond to help you. We will strive to get you financial recovery for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and the other costs you have encountered because of an accident caused by a defective product. We will also help you move toward physical recovery by suggesting medical experts who can help you.

Our attorneys know how to take on the most challenging cases involving products that cause harm because of poor or defective design, inadequate safety testing or any sort of manufacturer defect.

We have the ability to handle complex cases such as those involving defective aircraft. When handling product liability cases, we know the importance of working with experts and using their knowledge to strengthen your case.

- Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse should not happen anywhere. However, there are certain places — school, work, church, summer camp — where people expect, and have a right to expect, that they will be kept safe. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

If you, your child or someone else you care about has been sexually abused at one of these places, you have the right to see that those responsible for preventing it are held accountable for their failure to do so. The law firm of Bailey & Partners is here to help.

We will seek financial compensation for your medical bills, for pain and suffering, for lost wages and for any other costs you have encountered. Our service is not limited to seeking financial recovery. Our lawyers care about you and will bring in experts who can help with the process of physical, mental and emotional recovery as well.

Our team is ready to take on complex school sexual abuse cases. We can handle cases in which a student is sexually assaulted or molested by another student. The school district has an obligation to properly supervise students to prevent these situations from occurring. In the past, we have found cases in which the school knew that another student was a sexual predator and did nothing to isolate that student from the rest of the school population. We are committed to holding schools responsible in these sexual abuse cases.

We can also take on cases in which teachers or other school staff members sexually abuse a student. We can handle similar scenarios at summer camps, churches and the workplace.

- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

We're here to help you get results. At the law office of Bailey & Partners, our focus is twofold: First, we want to get you financial recovery. We want to get you maximum compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and any other costs you have encountered as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. Second, we want to help you achieve physical recovery. We frequently enlist medical professionals who will not only strengthen our case, but will also work with you to get better.

We can take on poisoning cases that occurred in homes, on boats, in apartment complexes and anywhere else. Depending on your situation, our team of lawyers can pursue action against:

* Manufacturers of defective products such as a gas heaters that cause carbon monoxide poisoning
* Landlords who neglect to repair damaged wall heaters that cause carbon monoxide poisoning
* Gas companies that fail to provide timely service when asked to check on a possible carbon monoxide problem

Our team will identify responsible parties and hold them accountable.

Carbon monoxide cases are extremely serious. Many times, poisoning leads to wrongful death. Other times, it can cause permanent brain injury that can range from cognitive difficulties to the need for lifelong care. Our team handles all carbon monoxide poisoning cases and works hard to get results that meet your needs.

- Brain Injury

The law firm of Bailey & Partners has more than 25 years of experience helping people get results in personal injury cases. We have built a strong record of success that includes numerous multimillion-dollar awards, including a $4.5 million verdict in a TBI case.

A severe brain injury can result in conditions ranging from vision and speech problems to permanent incapacity. The amount of financial compensation required in these cases can vary greatly. We will use great care to determine the maximum amount we can pursue in order to cover all costs — past, present and future.

We get results because we are ready to take severe brain injury cases as far as necessary to secure recovery for our clients. When you choose us, you are choosing a team of lawyers that is not content simply to write a demand letter asking for compensation and see what happens. Instead, we will diligently prepare your case, looking for every avenue that could lead to maximum compensation. If an opponent isn't willing to provide full compensation, we are ready to go to trial. We will be carefully prepared to present your case in court before a judge and jury to prove your injuries and achieve results that meet your needs.

- Spinal Cord Injury

The damage done by a spinal cord injury can range from chronic pain to permanent paralysis. Just as the nature of an injury varies greatly, so does the amount of compensation that you can pursue. We will take care to make sure that the amount we seek for you is right to cover all of your past, present and future costs.

We believe that securing compensation for back trauma, herniated disc and other spinal cord injuries is best accomplished by strategic management of your lawsuit. From the very start, we will map out a path to success that we will follow carefully and alter as the need arises. We will demand respect from our opponents not by trying to push them around, but by demonstrating that we are willing to put in the work necessary to win. If they are unwilling to provide the compensation you deserve, we will take them to court to get it from them.

- Paraplegia & Quadriplegia

Have you or someone you care about suffered a back injury that caused paraplegia or quadriplegia? Our attorneys are here for you.

When you turn to the law office of Bailey & Partners, you will have more than 25 years of experience on your side. Over the years, we have developed a strong record of success, including numerous multimillion-dollar awards.

- Premises Liability

Bailey & Partners has been committed to getting the results their clients seek for more than 25 years. While we will focus on obtaining financial results — including compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other costs — we will keep your other needs in mind as well. We know that physical recovery from an accident is also of critical importance. We can suggest medical experts who will help you work toward recovery. We want to help you in every possible way.

By combining our extensive legal knowledge with the work of recognized experts in every subject, we are able to take on the most challenging premises liability matters. You can turn to us in cases involving:

- Truck Accidents

When you choose Bailey & Partners to represent your 18-wheeler accident claim, you will have a team of attorneys on your side ready to address all of your concerns. We will work hard to get compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and all other costs. We also take pride in doing whatever we can to help you get the expert medical help you need for physical recovery, not just financial recovery. You deserve results, and we are here to help you get them.

Were you involved in a truck crash caused by a driver falling asleep while behind the wheel, speeding to get deliveries completed on time, changing lanes without looking or committing any similar act of negligence? Or was your accident caused by something more complicated, something that requires a little more digging?

Our attorneys are ready to do the digging. Even when the negligence involved seems obvious, we can take a closer look to see that all possible sources of compensation are explored. Our team will bring in trusted experts and experienced investigators to help us achieve that goal.

We have the knowledge to take on cases in which maintenance issues were at the heart of the problem. Many truckers defer maintenance in order to make sure they stay on schedule. Unfortunately, their procrastination can lead to a serious truck crash. Our lawyers also understand the issues involved with improperly performed repairs or defective trucks. No matter what happened, we will get to the heart of it. We strive for results that meet our clients' needs.

- Bicycle Accidents

Bailey & Partners is a team of experienced attorneys dedicated to helping you get results. With more than 25 years of experience on our side, we know how to meet your goals. We will work to get you compensation for lost wages, pain and suffering, hospital bills and other costs. However, we believe in going beyond that. In addition to helping you achieve financial recovery, we can help you get access to top medical experts to achieve physical recovery as well.

In many accidents involving a bicycle rider being hit by a car or truck, the driver of the motor vehicle will claim that he or she didn't see the bicyclist. We don't believe this is an excuse. More often than not, we discover that the negligent driver didn't see a bicyclist because he or she was not looking and not driving safely. We strive to hold drivers responsible for their carelessness.

Sometimes, we discover that the driver is not the only one responsible for a bicycle accident. We take pride in our ability to bring in knowledgeable investigators and trusted experts to help us gather the details in every case. Over the years, we have found that this can open up avenues for compensation that may not have been obvious otherwise. One example is situations in which defective road design or flaws in the construction of adjacent properties cause a lack of visibility that leads to a bicycle accident. We will find out who is responsible and seek compensation from them.
