Hire a Former Insurance Defense Attorney and Tip the Scales in Your Favor. – Free Consultation.
Hurt at a store, apartment, or parking lot? We’ll handle the insurance so you can heal.
If a property isn’t kept safe and you get hurt, the owner or occupier can be held responsible. That includes homes, businesses, parking lots, parks, and public spaces. To win, we show: a duty of care, a breach of that duty (unsafe condition), causation (that hazard caused your injury), and notice (they knew or should’ve known and didn’t fix it).
Comparative negligence.
If you’re found partly at fault, your compensation can be reduced by that percentage . A tactic insurers often push. We know how to push back.
Deadlines
In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. Missing that window can jeopardize your recovery.
Golnoush Goharzad used to defend insurance companies. She knows their playbook and now uses that insider knowledge for you.
Each California court has its own procedures, timelines, and local rules.. A local lawyer knows how cases really move here and which strategies work with local judges and opposing counsel. We also work with trusted local experts (reconstructionists, medical specialists, investigators) to build strong evidence early. Insurers know which firms settle fast and which fight . Our reputation helps us push for full value, not quick discounts.
Our local experts throughout Los Angeles and Orange County inspect accident sites quickly, document hazardous conditions, and preserve critical evidence before repairs are made or conditions are altered. This timely investigation helps strengthen your claim and supports a more compelling case.
At Goharzad Law, you’re not a file number. You get direct access to your attorney and clear answers at every step.
Every premises liability case is unique, but some of the most common cases we handle include:
You talk. We listen. We learn what happened and what you need.
You don’t have to take their calls. We handle adjusters and defense counsel—and we know the playbook.
Photos, medical records, incident/animal-control reports, vaccination history, prior complaints, witness statements, surveillance, and property records.
Strong settlement or trial, we push for maximum compensation, including scarring and future care.
I’m very thankful to Ms. Goharzad for all her help with my case. After my car accident, I didn’t know what to do or what to expect. She was so patient and always took the time to explain everything clearly. I really felt like she cared and was fighting for me the whole way. Thanks to her, I got a settlement that helped me a lot. I’m so happy I had her as my lawyer and I truly recommend her to anyone going through something similar.
Ms. Golnoush Goharzad was an incredible advocate for my wife after her car accident. From the beginning, she was professional, compassionate, and completely dedicated to the case. She kept us informed every step of the way and always made time to answer our questions. It was clear she genuinely cared and wanted the best outcome for my wife — and she delivered. We couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. Highly recommended.
Understanding your legal rights shouldn’t be confusing. Here’s what clients like you ask us most—answered simply and directly.
If the insurance company has already made you an offer, you should speak with an attorney before accepting it.
Insurance companies often make early settlement offers to close cases quickly — usually for far less than the full value of your claim. Once you accept their offer, you typically waive your right to pursue additional compensation, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious later.
An experienced attorney can review the offer, evaluate your medical records and damages, and negotiate for a fair settlement that truly reflects your losses — including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
