A client visiting Los Angeles from Canada was struck by a commercial vehicle while walking as a pedestrian — turning her trip into a life-altering event.

Her injuries were significant and required a long recovery. With the added complexity of cross-border legal issues and a commercial vehicle claim, this case demanded strategic investigation, persistence, and experience.

We stood by her throughout her recovery and are proud to have secured a signifcant settlement that far exceeded her expectations.

If you or a loved one has been injured — even while visiting from abroad — Burneikis Law is prepared to handle complex, high-stakes cases with skill and compassion.

Last Saturday, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking alongside three powerhouse leaders - Megan Burns, Tiega-Noel Varlack & Debra Bogaards - at the BAWLN 2026 Seminar on our panel: ✨ “Women in Leadership/Rainmaking.” ✨

What an energizing and inspiring conversation! We dove into what it truly means to lead with confidence, build meaningful relationships, create opportunity, and own your voice in the room — and at the table.

There’s something incredibly powerful about being surrounded by women who are not only leaders in their fields, but who are actively opening doors and redefining what rainmaking looks like. 💼🔥

Grateful for the opportunity to share insights, stories, and a few hard-earned lessons — and even more grateful for the community of ambitious, driven women who showed up ready to grow.

Here’s to lifting as we climb. 💪✨

Supporting families after the tragic loss of a loved one is never just legal work—it’s a responsibility rooted in compassion, care, and advocacy. I’m honored to have assisted this family following the devastating loss of their son.

As we head into the new year, consider adopting one small habit that can quite literally save lives: add five extra minutes to your schedule before you get behind the wheel.

We sometimes forget that we’re operating machines capable of causing catastrophic harm. Speeding kills. Rushing leads to collisions. And driving is not a competition. It doesn’t matter who “wins” at a stop sign or squeezes through a merge first. Waiting 30 seconds for a pedestrian to cross, or pausing to let a car pull out of a driveway, will not change the course of your day.

If you feel like you never have time to slow down, that’s exactly why this resolution matters. Build in a five-minute buffer. Give yourself the space to drive thoughtfully, to yield when it’s safe, and to choose patience over unnecessary risk.

A small change in your routine can make an enormous difference in someone else’s life — and maybe even your own.

Drive safely. Drive responsibly. And let’s make 2026 a safer year for everyone on the road. 🚗✨

🚨 A critical holiday reminder 🚨

This time of year, DUI-related crashes increase significantly, with devastating and irreversible consequences. Even small amounts of alcohol can impair judgment and reaction time, increasing the likelihood of an accident.

It is not only your own safety at stake. Every impaired decision on the road puts your family, other drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists at risk. Too many families lose loved ones during the holidays because someone chose to drink and drive.

Imagine waking up every day for the rest of your life knowing that a single decision—to drink and drive—took someone else’s life. That burden never goes away.

Please plan ahead:
- Designate a sober driver
- Use a rideshare or public transportation
- Stay where you are if you’ve been drinking

No celebration is worth a life.

Also, even if you are completely sober, be extra vigilant. Watch for drivers who may be impaired, drive defensively, keep your distance, and slow down when something doesn’t look right.

Drive safely. Don’t drink and drive.

🌙 It’s Dark During the Commute Again — Pedestrians, Please Be Extra Cautious 🌙

With the end of daylight savings time, our evening commute is now happening in near darkness. Traffic is heavy, visibility is low, and even the most responsible drivers struggle to see pedestrians after sunset — especially those wearing darker clothing.

Many people assume that vehicle headlights will illuminate a person soon enough for a driver to react. Unfortunately, that is not the case. A pedestrian often becomes visible only when a vehicle is already too close to stop safely, given normal perception and reaction times.

And with the holiday season upon us, people are in a hurry, distracted, and rushing from one commitment to the next — which only increases the risk.

As a pedestrian, please do not rely on being seen.

Protect yourself by:
🚶‍♂️‍➡️Carrying a bright, illuminating flashlight — the easiest and most effective safeguard.
🚶‍♀️‍➡️Wearing lighter or reflective clothing.
🚶‍➡️Staying alert and making eye contact with drivers before crossing.
🚶‍♂️‍➡️Assuming you are not visible until proven otherwise.

A few simple precautions can prevent a life-altering tragedy. Stay visible. Stay careful. Stay safe this holiday season. 🌟
