Is my case an easy one? It depends on the injury, and on how the injury came to be.

In California, dog bites fall under strict liability. The owner is automatically responsible if their dog bit someone. There is no argument about who was careless, because the law does not ask.

Car crashes are more nuanced. A rear-end collision is usually an undisputed-liability case, meaning the driver who hit you accepts responsibility, and the value then depends on the injuries and the treatment. But the cleanest cases we see, in terms of the other side being responsible, are dog bites.

Save this if you or your kid has been bitten. Send it to anyone who has been told a dog bite is not worth a call. DM us if you are not sure where your case sits.

There is mold in your apartment, and your landlord already knows.

California law says every rental has to meet basic livability standards. Walls and a roof that keep water out, working plumbing and heat, safe wiring. Mold almost always traces back to one of those, and the law calls the result untenantable whether or not your landlord agrees.

What decides these situations is the record. Put every request in writing so it is dated. Photograph the mold, and re-shoot as it spreads. Keep the replies and the silences. In Los Angeles the Housing Department inspects for free, and an inspector's citation becomes evidence. If your landlord raises the rent or moves to evict you within 180 days of a complaint, a court may treat that as retaliation.

Keep paying rent while you do all of it. Withholding without following the specific legal steps can hand your landlord a clean reason to evict.

Save this if you have been asking for months. Send it to the friend whose bathroom ceiling is turning black. Comment GUIDE and we will send you our free LA Renter's Rights Guide.

Your friend just got hurt in a crash. What you do next helps them twice.

Driving them to appointments, picking up their food, taking over the laundry. That is what a good friend or spouse does anyway, and it also makes you a witness. You are the person who saw what the injury did to their day-to-day life, and that is exactly what an insurance company later asks someone to prove.

So be there. Do whatever you can, especially if they were badly hurt. Then let them know you are willing to sign a declaration or testify to what you saw and how it changed their life. That information can make a real difference in their case.

Save this for the next time someone you love needs you. Send it to whoever is doing the driving right now. Comment CHECKLIST and we will send you our free post-crash guide, The First 72 Hours.

$18,500,000 for the parents of a 34-year-old ironworker.

He was connecting the free end of a steel brace that had been left hanging from a crane. According to the lawsuit, the operator reached back for a Bluetooth speaker and bumped the controls. The brace lurched, struck him, and pinned him against a column. He died at the scene.

On a construction site, a claim against your own employer usually stops at workers' compensation. The recovery here came from third-party claims against the other companies on the site, each of which said the crane was someone else's job. Unwinding who actually controlled the lift is the case.

The matter resolved before trial. No defendant admitted liability, and no judge or jury ruled on the allegations.

Send this to anyone who works a site. The evidence in these cases starts disappearing the same day.

Settled: $306,000. Ridesharing auto v. auto.

Getting hit while you are in an Uber or a Lyft is not a normal car accident claim, because there is more than one policy in play. Yours, the driver's, and the rideshare company's.

Which one covers you depends on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash. App off, and it is their personal policy. App on and waiting, and it is a small contingent tier. On the way to you or with you in the car, and the company's commercial policy is live.

The data that proves which phase it was sits with the rideshare company, not with you.

Save this before your next ride. Send it to the friend who takes Ubers everywhere. Comment CHECKLIST and we will send you our free post-crash guide, The First 72 Hours.

Everyone talks about frivolous lawsuits. Nobody talks about frivolous defenses.

We had a case where the insurance company denied that their own insured T-boned our client. They dug in. Zero responsibility. They kept saying it right up until we sent them the video.

Another driver had a dash cam and brought it to us. Once they saw it, they changed course completely and paid our full demand.

If you do not have a lawyer yet and the insurance company is denying your claim, do not be discouraged by it. It is what they do. It is worth having someone who can go toe to toe with them.

Save this if your claim was denied. Send it to anyone being told they have no case. Comment DECODER and we will send you our free guide to what the adjuster is actually doing.

What actually happens when you call a personal injury firm?

Most people sit on it for weeks. The call goes two directions, and only one of them is you talking.

The first half is you describing what happened in your own words. There is no format and no right way to tell it. You do not need dates, a report number, or the other driver's insurance. We are not there to grill you, and we are not there to decide it was your fault or the other driver's. We just want to understand what happened, and we need the good, the bad and the ugly.

The second half is us telling you what we think. Our job is not to discount your case. Plenty of these calls end with us saying you do not need a lawyer for this one.

Save this if you have been putting off the call. Send it to someone who has.

The other driver has no insurance. Is it over?

No, but it can be, and it comes down to coverage you bought for yourself. It is called uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, and it is the most important coverage most drivers never think about.

If someone causes a crash that is not your fault and they have no insurance, or a policy too small to cover your injuries, you can tap into your own policy to cover the difference. That is exactly what you have been paying for.

We hear the same worry constantly. I do not want to touch my insurance, my premiums will go up. We have no control over what any carrier decides, but generally speaking, if the crash was not your fault, your premiums should not rise for using the coverage you bought.

Save this before you need it. Send it to anyone who drives. Comment DECODER and we will send you our free guide to what the adjuster is actually doing.

A gap in your medical file is worth more to an insurance company than almost anything else in your claim.

Every appointment after a crash does two jobs. It treats the injury, and it records that the injury was real on a specific date. The care is what helps your body heal. The record is what an adjuster reads months later when they decide what to offer.

Day seven puts a start date on the claim. Sixty days of silence after that reads as sixty days without symptoms, whatever was actually going on in your life. Cancellations enter the chart as no-shows with no reason attached. Urgent care you paid cash for often generates no record at all.

Go to the appointments, keep every discharge sheet and receipt, and tell your attorney when life gets in the way.

Save this if you are in treatment. Send it to whoever is driving them to appointments. Comment CHECKLIST and we will send you our free post-crash guide, The First 72 Hours.

Two clients, nearly identical MRIs, completely different results. What separated them was in the file.

One kept every appointment and followed the treatment plan. The other saw a doctor on day seven and did not go back until day sixty-seven. Insurance has a name for that stretch. They call it a gap in treatment, and they use it to ask why someone who was really hurt stopped going.

The reason is usually work, or money, or a referral that took forever. None of that lands in the chart. The gap does.

Save this if you are in treatment right now. Send it to anyone who has been putting off their follow-up.
