If you or someone you know has been in a car accident in Orange County, understanding how fault gets determined matters more than ever right now. Read the full story here:

Our attorneys are seeing a sharp increase in distracted driving accidents across Orange County. From cell phones to in-vehicle touchscreens, the distractions behind the wheel are multiplying - and so are the serious injuries on roads like the I-405, I-5, and SR-133.

Founding partner Yoshi Kubota: "Drivers are dealing with more distractions than ever. The result is more collisions, and often more severe injuries, on roads throughout Irvine and surrounding communities."

If you or a loved one has been injured by a distracted driver, our team is here to help. Free consultations available in English and Spanish.
