You Didn’t Ask for This. But You Deserve Justice.
Getting hurt because of someone else’s negligence turns your life upside down in an instant. Medical bills pile up. You can’t work. And while you’re trying to heal, insurance companies are already working against you, looking for every reason to pay you less than you deserve.
At Ravan Law, we don’t let that happen.
We are experienced personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles who fight boldly for injured victims, and we don’t stop until you get the outcome you deserve. Best of all? You pay nothing unless we win.
Personal injury law in California allows victims to hold others civilly liable for injuries caused by negligent, reckless, or intentional acts. Simply put, if someone else’s actions hurt you, the law gives you the right to make them pay for it.
As a victim, you can recover compensation for both physical and emotional injuries, including:
California personal injury law recognizes that not all harm is visible. Whether your injuries are physical, psychological, or both, they matter, and you deserve to be made whole.
Every injury case is different, but the law allows victims to pursue two categories of damages:
Pecuniary Damages (Financial Losses): These are the tangible, out-of-pocket costs your injury has caused you:
Non-Pecuniary Damages (Non-Economic Losses): These are the real but harder-to-measure ways your life has been affected:
At Ravan Law, we fight for every dollar you’re entitled to, not just the easy ones. We dig into the details of your case, quantify your losses fully, and build the most compelling argument possible for maximum compensation. Learn more about how economic and non-economic damages work in California.
As your dedicated Los Angeles injury lawyer, Ravan Law represents clients across a full range of personal injury cases:
Car Accidents: Los Angeles roads are among the most dangerous in California. Whether it’s a rear-end collision on the 405, a T-bone at an intersection, or a hit-and-run in your neighborhood, we go after every dollar you’re owed.
Dog Bites: California holds dog owners strictly liable for bites and attacks. If a dog attacked you or your child, your rights are clear, and we’ll make sure they’re enforced.
Wrongful Death: Losing someone because of another party’s negligence is devastating. We handle wrongful death claims with both the sensitivity your family needs and the ferocity your case demands.
Spinal & Brain Injuries: Catastrophic injuries require catastrophic effort. We work with medical experts to fully document the long-term impact of serious injuries, and we fight for compensation that reflects your reality, not just your immediate bills.
Los Angeles has no shortage of personal injury attorneys. Most will take your case, hand it to a paralegal, and treat you like a file number on a shelf.
At Ravan Law, we do things differently.
Every case is personally assigned to an experienced attorney who digs into the details, understands your unique circumstances, and builds a strategy around what you specifically need. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter cases, because no two injuries, no two lives, and no two situations are ever the same.
We examine every case with careful consideration. We compile the most compelling evidence possible. And we litigate boldly, because that’s what you deserve.
The steps you take right after an accident can protect, or seriously hurt, your claim. Here’s what matters most:
Insurance companies are not on your side after an accident. Their adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, and their first settlement offer is almost always a fraction of what your personal injury claim is actually worth. Without a personal injury lawyer reviewing that offer, most victims have no way to know whether the number reflects the true value of their case.
A personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles handles every aspect of your claim so you can focus on recovering. That includes investigating the accident, gathering medical records and bills, identifying all liable parties, calculating the full scope of your damages, negotiating with insurance companies, and filing a lawsuit if the insurer refuses to offer fair compensation.
In cases involving catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or injuries requiring long-term rehabilitation, the stakes are too high to handle alone. A personal injury attorney understands how to project future medical costs, lost earning capacity, and the lifetime cost of care, and how to present those figures in a way that compels the insurer to pay what the case is actually worth.
At Ravan Law, every personal injury case is handled personally by attorney Ted H. Ravan. You speak directly with your lawyer, not a case manager or intake coordinator. That direct relationship means your attorney knows the details of your case, responds to your questions directly, and builds a strategy based on your specific circumstances.
Los Angeles is one of the most dangerous cities in California for traffic accidents, pedestrian injuries, and premises liability incidents. The geography of the city, its freeway network, its density, and its mix of commercial and residential neighborhoods all contribute to the volume of personal injury cases filed in Los Angeles every year.
Freeway Accidents. The 405, the 10, the 101, and the 110 freeways carry millions of vehicles through Los Angeles County daily. Car accidents, motorcycle crashes, and truck collisions on these freeways are a leading source of personal injury claims in Los Angeles. The stop-and-go congestion on the 405 through the Sepulveda Pass, the high-speed merges on the 10 through DTLA, and the tight curves on the 110 through Pasadena all create conditions where serious accidents happen regularly.
Downtown Los Angeles. DTLA’s dense mix of vehicle traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, rideshare vehicles, and commercial trucks creates one of the highest-risk environments for personal injury accidents in California. Intersection collisions, pedestrian knockdowns in crosswalks, and bicycle accidents on streets without protected lanes are all common in downtown Los Angeles.
Santa Monica and the Westside. Santa Monica Boulevard, Lincoln Boulevard, and the streets around the Third Street Promenade and Santa Monica Pier see heavy traffic from both residents and visitors. Car accidents, pedestrian injuries, and slip and fall incidents on commercial properties along these corridors generate a steady volume of personal injury cases.
Hollywood and West Hollywood. Tourist traffic, nightlife, and dense commercial activity on Hollywood Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, and Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood contribute to car accidents, rideshare crashes, and pedestrian injuries. Personal injury claims from this area frequently involve visitors unfamiliar with Los Angeles traffic patterns.
The San Fernando Valley. The Valley’s wide boulevards, high-speed traffic on Ventura Boulevard and Victory Boulevard, and freeway on-ramp congestion on the 101 and 170 contribute to a high rate of personal injury accidents. Car accidents, motorcycle crashes, and pedestrian injuries in the San Fernando Valley are a significant portion of the personal injury caseload in Los Angeles.
Courts and Filing. Personal injury lawsuits in Los Angeles County are filed in the Superior Court of California. Depending on the location of the accident, cases may be assigned to the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Courthouse, the Van Nuys Courthouse, or other courthouses within the county. Your personal injury lawyer handles the filing and jurisdictional decisions so that your case proceeds in the correct court. Understanding how long a personal injury case takes in California can help set realistic expectations from the start.
Some of the most serious personal injury cases in Los Angeles involve government vehicles, dangerous conditions on public roads, or injuries on government-owned property. A city bus that runs a red light. A pothole on a state highway that causes a motorcycle crash. A broken staircase in a public building. A dangerous sidewalk that causes a pedestrian to fall.
When a government entity is responsible for your injury, a separate legal process applies under California’s Government Claims Act. California Government Code 911.2 requires that a formal government tort claim be filed within six months of the injury, before any lawsuit against the public entity can proceed. This deadline is strict and separate from the standard two-year personal injury statute of limitations under CCP 335.1. Missing the six-month window can permanently bar your personal injury claim. Read more about what to do if you’ve been injured due to a government entity.
Government personal injury claims in Los Angeles commonly involve the City of Los Angeles for city vehicle accidents and sidewalk defects, LA Metro for bus and rail accidents, LA County for county facility injuries, LAUSD for injuries on school property, Caltrans for dangerous highway conditions, and LADOT for traffic signal malfunctions.
Each government entity has its own claim form, filing address, and procedural requirements. At Ravan Law, government claims are a central part of the practice. Attorney Ted H. Ravan handles the government tort claim process directly, from preparing the formal claim to filing it within the six-month deadline. This is work that requires specific knowledge of the Government Claims Act and the procedural rules for each public entity. It is work this firm was built around.
