Marina del Rey Personal Injury Law Firm Serving Southern California
At Baker and Oring, LLP, our Marina del Rey attorneys focus on plaintiff-side personal injury and insurance law.
We assist individuals and families throughout Southern California who have been harmed by negligence — including car, truck, motorcycle, slip and fall, construction site, and boating accidents, as well as injuries from defective products and professional malpractice. Our attorneys are also dedicated advocates for elderly victims of nursing home abuse or neglect, fraud, and unethical business practices.
With more than 100 years of collective legal experience, our attorneys aggressively pursue responsible parties and their insurers, recovering damages for those injured or whose loved ones lost their lives due to the negligence of others.
Car, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents
In just seconds, a serious accident can dramatically change lives — with long-term consequences for your health and the financial well-being of your family.
At Baker and Oring, LLP, personal injury is our primary focus. It is a broad body of law covering tort cases that involve physical injury, wrongful death, or financial harm resulting from the negligent or wrongful conduct of another party. Our experienced attorneys fight to recover full compensatory damages on behalf of injured victims and their families.
Premises Liability
Premises liability covers personal injury claims arising from accidents on residential, commercial, or government property — including homes, apartments, condominiums, office buildings, hospitals, retail stores, restaurants, parking lots, arenas, and stadiums.
Property owners have a legal duty to ensure that guests and the public are not exposed to unreasonable risks of harm. When injuries result from dangerous conditions or a failure to comply with applicable building codes and maintenance standards, the property owner may be held liable for the victim's injuries and damages.
Bad Faith Insurance & Wrongful Claim Denial
Insurance companies have a duty to act in good faith and deal fairly with their policyholders. Unfortunately, many are motivated by profit and shareholder returns rather than ethical claims handling, and over decades they have developed sophisticated tactics designed to protect their bottom line at the expense of the people they insure.
When you purchase an insurance policy, both parties are bound by the contract and required by law to act in good faith. An insurer that wrongfully denies or delays a legitimate claim may be acting in bad faith — and may be liable for damages well beyond the original claim amount.
Elder Abuse & Nursing Home Neglect
As the elderly population continues to grow, the demand for legal protection of seniors' rights has never been greater. Elder abuse can take many forms — physical neglect, financial exploitation, emotional manipulation, and fraudulent schemes targeting assets and estates.
At Baker and Oring, LLP, our attorneys represent elderly victims and their families in cases involving nursing home abuse and neglect, exploitation, and violations of residents' rights. If you suspect a loved one is being mistreated, our experienced elder abuse attorneys in Marina del Rey are here to help.
Products Liability
When you use equipment on your job, take drugs your doctor prescribes, or purchase common consumer products— power tools, household appliances, tires, ladders, sports equipment, or toys for children—you naturally assume these products are safe to use. Despite the fact that products are usually designed, manufactured, tested, and labeled for safe use, each year defective products lead to thousands of serious injuries and death.
If a defective product causes serious injury, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer, the seller, or supplier to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and punitive damages.
