Practice Areas Description

At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we have more than 25 years of experience getting full and fair compensation for clients in cases involving:

- Accidental Drowning

Proper safety measures are important around both public and private pools, especially when children are around. Safety measures can range from fencing around backyard pools to trained lifeguards at public swimming pools. They can include signs, safety equipment and more. Without these safeguards, serious accidents can occur. If you or someone you care about has been hurt in a swimming pool accident or a loved one has been a pool-drowning victim, the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg is here to help you get the compensation you deserve.

- Bicycle Accidents

The California Motor Vehicle Code requires that bike riders obey the same rules that apply to cars and other motor vehicles. The same code requires that automobile drivers respect the right of bicyclists to share the road. Unfortunately, not all drivers do so. When careless disregard for the rights of those on bicycles causes an accident, the bicyclist is at a distinct disadvantage. The results can be serious personal injury or even wrongful death. Those responsible should be held accountable.

- Birth Injury

An injury at birth can lead to a child requiring lifelong medical care. If the injury was caused by an act of negligence on the part of the birth doctor, hospital, a nurse or any other medical professional, he or she should be held responsible. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we will see that he or she is. Our law firm is available to take on all types of birth injury cases, including: Brachial plexus, Cerebral palsy, Hydrocephalus, Hyperbilirubinemia, Oxygen deficiency, and Shoulder dystocia.

- Brain Injury

Of all of the parts of the body that can be hurt in an accident, the brain is among the most sensitive. Damage to this organ can last a lifetime. You have the right to seek compensation to cover all of the expenses you will encounter. Our law firm can help. Our team can take on all types of brain damage and head injury cases, including those that involve: Traumatic Brain, Occipital lobe injury, Frontal lobe injury, Parietal lobe injury, Brain stem damage, Coma, Closed head injury, Skull fracture, Memory loss, Cognitive impairments, Concussion, and M.T.B.I.

- Brake Failure Accidents

In many auto accident cases, the negligent driver tries to blame what happened on bad brakes. This is no excuse. Don't let it stop you from pursuing the compensation you need. You still have the right to seek full and fair compensation. The Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg can help. We will stand up to people who try to blame car accidents, trucking accidents, bus accidents, commercial vehicle crash cases and other motor vehicle accidents on brake failure. We will pursue the results you deserve.

- Burn Injury

A burn injury can have a lasting impact on a person's life. The scarring and disfigurement left behind can prevent the victim from getting enjoyment from his or her life and engaging in day-to-day activities. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we know what we're up against. We are up against big businesses and insurance companies that have a vast amount of resources that they will put to use trying to avoid providing you with the compensation you need and deserve to cover medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other costs.

- Bus Accidents

When bus drivers act negligently and cause an accident, they need to be held responsible. Not only do the individuals involved in the accident deserve compensation, but the public needs to be protected from the driver ever doing the same thing again. That is what we are here for. As a "common carrier", bus drivers and their companies are held to the highest standard of care and safety in operating a bus. Whether your case involves a serious head injury, spine injury, any other personal injury or the loss of a loved one, we can help.

- Construction Accidents

Construction sites can be very dangerous. Fortunately, most construction companies take many steps to ensure the safety of their employees. Unfortunately, there are a few that cut corners or act negligently. The result can be a serious construction accident that causes personal injury or wrongful death. Those responsible for construction accidents should be held responsible. The victims have the right to seek full and fair compensation. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we are here to help.

- Delivery Vehicle Accidents

Many delivery vehicles look like they were meant to take a beating. Unfortunately, many delivery drivers take the size and strength of these vehicles for granted. They fail to observe the rules of the road and, in doing so, put the drivers of smaller vehicles in harm's way. When these delivery truck drivers cause an accident, they should be held responsible. We will see that they are. If you or a loved one has been injured in a commercial vehicle crash, we are here to help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and all other costs.

- Dog Attacks

More than 30 years of experience goes into every dog bite case we handle. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we believe that experience makes a difference. We have devoted our careers to personal injury and wrongful death cases. We will devote ourselves to getting you compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other costs you are faced with.

- Elder Abuse

Many people entrust the care of their parents or other elderly relatives to nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other similar institutions. Typically, these places are successful in providing comfortable lives to their residents. Unfortunately, some of these places are not as careful as they should be. Sometimes, they allow their business needs to lead to short-staffing or staffing of untrained employees.

- Electrocution / Exposed Wires

The Law Offices of Howard C. Kornberg has had great success handling premises liability cases where victims were seriously injured or killed due to electrocution. Whether it is a private residence, rental property or public shopping center, owners have a responsibility to keep their properties safe by maintaining safe walkways and stairs, sufficient lighting and properly installed electricity.

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we have more than 25 years of experience getting compensation for car crash victims. Our commitment to aggressive representation has allowed us to achieve a 99% success rate, while maintaining our dedication to the highest levels of honesty and professional ethics. We stand up for the rights of the individual. In car accident cases, we are up against a sizeable opponent: car insurance companies. These big businesses have a lot of resources at their disposal. This doesn't bother us. One after the next, they have fallen and we have emerged the victor due to our experience, intelligence and creativity.

- Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are not invisible. In many cases, those who cause accidents claim that they didn't see the person on the motorcycle. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we do not accept this as an excuse. It is the responsibility of drivers to be aware of those they share the road with. Drivers who fail to accept that responsibility and cause an accident should be held responsible. We are ready to take them and their insurance companies on.

- Pedestrian Accidents

Every day, countless people go out for a walk. Some walk for exercise, some walk for fun and some walk simply to get from one place to the next. No matter why someone is out for a walk, he or she expects to get to his or her destination safe and sound. People expect that, when they have to interact with motor vehicle traffic, the drivers of those vehicles will follow the proper safety precautions. Unfortunately, that expectation is not always met. When it's not, we are here to help.

- Premises Liability

At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we understand that the primary goal of a person who turns to a premises liability attorney is to get fair compensation to cover medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other costs. We will strive to meet that goal. We also believe that you may have other needs as well. We will not neglect them. Our team takes pride in providing ethical representation and personal attention to every case, answering all questions and being there for you when you need us. We are here to make a difference in the lives of accident victims.

- Product Liability

The businesses that design and manufacture products have a responsibility to keep the users of those products safe. When they fail to do the proper safety checks and put an item on the market that causes harm, they should be held responsible. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, our goal is to hold them responsible. We want to make them provide you compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and the other costs you have encountered. We also want to prevent them from letting this happen again.

- Rollover Accidents

Some of the most destructive types of accidents are those involving vehicle rollover. No matter how safe a car, truck or other motor vehicle is, it is not meant to withstand the force of toppling over. The result can be serious personal injury or wrongful death. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we can stand up for the rights of people who have been involved in an SUV rollover, truck rollover or any other type of rollover accident. We will fight to get you compensation.

- Slip & Fall

A slip and fall accident can be serious. It can cause severe head injury, back injury, fractures and other personal injury. In very extreme cases, it can cause wrongful death. All too often, these accidents could have been prevented if the owner of the property had simply fixed a problem that he or she knew existed. In these cases, property owners are guilty of negligence and they should be held responsible. We will see that they are.

- Special Needs Abuse

Foster homes, group homes, halfway houses, rehab facilities and other similar places all have one thing in common: They are filled with people who rely on others for help. The residents of these facilities are in a position of vulnerability. For the most part, these places are filled with caring staff that want to help. Unfortunately, there are people who take advantage of those with special needs. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we are committed to holding individuals and facilities accountable when special needs abuse occurs.

- Spine Injury

Even with the abundance of new surgeries, a spinal cord injury can still have lifelong implications. Have you or someone you care about suffered a neck injury, back injury or lower back injury as a result of an act of negligence? Our law firm is here to help you pursue the compensation you need to cover medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and all other costs. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we understand that we are up against strong opposition in spinal cord injury cases. Typically, we will have to face big insurance companies.

- Surgical Errors

Going into surgery can be worrying, but despite the apprehensions, we expect that everything will turn out fine. Unfortunately, when surgeons are careless and make mistakes, the result can be serious illness or injury or even death. Surgeons are responsible for taking special care before, during and after surgery to avoid making errors. When they don't, the victims have the right to seek full and fair compensation. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we can help. We hold negligent surgeons and surgical staff accountable for their actions.

- Truck Accidents

The freeways in Los Angeles and Southern California are often filled with 18-wheelers. These immense vehicles can cause serious harm when put into the hands of the wrong person, such as a careless driver, a company that doesn't perform proper maintenance or any other negligent party. These vehicles shouldn't fall into such hands. When they do, someone needs to be held responsible. We will see that they are. If you or someone you care about has been involved in a trucking accident, we are here to help you pursue compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and all other costs.

- Unfair Insurance Claims

You have insurance for one reason, to compensate you and your family in case of an accident, injury or other catastrophic event. Unfortunately, insurance companies are not on your side. When insurance companies wrongfully deny your claim or deny important information about your claim, the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg can help. We stand up to insurance companies and strive to get you the compensation you need.

- Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist

If you were in a motor vehicle accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you may think it impossible to recover the compensation you need. Fortunately, there is still hope. You may be able to recover damages from your own car insurance company, or that of a family member's if you do not own a car. At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, we have represented car accident victims throughout Southern California since 1979. We have the skills, resources and knowledge to uncover all sources of financial compensation on your behalf.

- Wrongful Death

We seek a full and fair recovery so you can focus on what is most important, moving forward from your loss. Whatever the cause of your loved one's untimely accidental death, we are ready to stand by your side.
