Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
Personal Injury & Wrongful Death Attorneys in Marina Del Rey, CA
Personal Injury and Wrongful Death cases have been a cornerstone of Yuhl Carr LLP since it opened its doors in Marina Del Rey in 1985. Our wrongful death and personal injury lawyers have decades of experience in handling these cases with numerous multi-million-dollar trial and settlement successes to their credit, across a broad spectrum of the field, including Product Liability, Motor Vehicle, Public Transportation, and Premises Liability to Professional Malpractice, Construction, Workplace, Aviation, and Maritime cases.
The injuries caused by these accidents can be complex and demanding, requiring expert legal understanding when it comes to proof and proper trial presentation. A catastrophic brain injury can occur from these types of cases. Our firm specializes in Traumatic Brain Injury cases, understanding that victims may have permanent deficits from simple movements and sensitivities, to serious emotional, cognitive or personality changes. In some closed head injuries, they can be referred as the “invisible injuries” since TBI victims can often seem fine to others. But they are not “invisible” to the victim or their families. Unless one fully understands the subtle evidence of an injured brain, how that affects a person’s quality of life forever and paint the picture for a jury, underrepresentation will follow. Massive orthopedic injuries and permanent disabilities are always properly prepared for trial by Yuhl | Carr attorneys and our results prove that.
Whether you've suffered a death in the family, or live with a permanent extraordinary injury, or went through a less severe injury that recovered over time, the personal injury lawyers at Yuhl Carr will give time, attention, and effort to achieve the best result for you who have suffered personal injuries.

An experienced personal injury lawyer has the skills to negotiate on your behalf, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and other damages.

A wrongful death claim arises when an individual passes away due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party.
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim
Wrongful death claims allow surviving family members or dependents to seek justice and compensation for the loss of their loved one. While no amount of money can replace the loss of a life, a wrongful death lawsuit can provide financial relief for the survivors and help hold the responsible party accountable.

In a wrongful death case, the surviving family members may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
-Funeral and Burial Expenses
-Medical Bills
-Loss of Financial Support
-Loss of Companionship and Emotional Distress
