Which test hurts my DUI defense the most in California?

The toughest test to beat in California is a blood test. However, here in Orange County, California, we win cases when the laboratory makes a mistake on the blood test. In Los Angeles County, we win cases where the police officers make mistakes. In each city, a police officer has an approved breath testing device, so if the machine is not calibrated correctly, if it's not used appropriately, whether it's a breath or a blood, we may be able to exclude those test results, and that makes the difference on your case in court. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for DUI, please call.

What areas are affected by the TXI chromium contamination in California?

You know, the people who live in this little community in Riverside, which is a short distance from Los Angeles, were the people that are massively affected by a careless cement company, TXI, pouring chromium into the air. Chromium is an insidious carcinogen. As a matter of fact, one pound of chromium can cause as much cancer as fifty pounds of benzine, to give you some idea of how terrible this chemical is. And this little community which is adjacent to this plant has been subjected to this chromium dust, it's on the swingsets, it's outside their door, it's in the air and it's in the water. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keyes. For the past 44 years, we've helped people in California who've been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we have played.

Who pays the claim in a dog bite case?

In a dog bite lawsuit, the dog owner is responsible almost always. And if the dog owner owns a home, then his homeowner's insurance, the general liability provision of his homeowner insurance, will cover, unless the dog has been excluded from the policy. And in many policies in California, specific breeds are excluded, specific dogs are excluded, and specific weight of dogs are excluded from the policies. Otherwise the general liability provision of the insurance policy of a homeowner will cover a dog attack claim. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar-Chase law firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims, from our offices in Newport Beach, California.

Who are the most common victims of a dog attack?

The most horrendous dog attack cases are the ones against children. Generally dogs will bite a child around the face, neck and head. With the very aggressive dogs, they will rip and tear. So, there is a lot of damage that creates tremendous scaring especially around the lips, the face, the eyes, the ears. I've seen cases of lips ripped off and ears ripped off and the amount of recovery time, the scaring, and the plastic surgery that comes afterwards, it?s just tremendous, its horrendous.

How much money are victims of dog bite attacks awarded?

The recovery in a dog attack law suit is just like in any other lawsuit. It's the value of your claim. It's the value of your injury. It's the value of your medical expenses. The reason why dog attack claims are higher than in other kinds of accidents is because of the nature of the wound. A dog bite wound is jagged, it's full of germs, it leaves nasty scarring and many, many bites are to the face, especially children. So you have great deal of scarring and you wind up having plastic surgery bills. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

Who's at fault in a dog bite attack?

"In California, if you own a dog and it bites somebody, you're at fault. It's called strict liability. Your dog bites somebody, you're at fault. The only way to get out of that is if the person who was bitten was attacking you, or burglarizing your property. Except for those two items, you're at fault if your dog bites somebody, no ands, ifs or buts. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

Why are dog attack cases on the rise in California?

I can see that 80 percent of the cases I handle involve two breeds, Rottweiler?s and pit-bulls. Twenty years ago, I never saw a Rottweiler or pit-bull case. They were usually German Shepherds. We have a much higher percentage of the more aggressive breeds of dogs and we also have more people, dogs in smaller areas, they're more agitated, there is more chances of the dogs getting upset and actually attacking somebody. The more aggressive breeds, they attack and keep attacking rather than bite or nip to make you go away. I'm John Bisnar, the Senior Partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

What should I do after a dog attack?

The procedure after a dog attack is, of course, first getting medical attention. That's foremost. But as far as a dog bite claim, what's important is identifying the dog and then identifying the owner. Taking pictures of the wounds is huge, because a picture tells a thousand words, and a wound doesn't look so bad six months after it's been healed up, but it looks really bad right in the beginning. And an insurance adjuster or a jury is never going to understand how bad the bite was unless you have early photographs. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

What's the most common cause of motorcycle accidents?

A high percentage of motorcycle accidents are cause by vehicle drivers who just don't see the motorcyclist. They're looking for cars and trucks, they're not looking for motorcycles and they will turn right in front of them, they'll drive right into them, they just don't see them.

How severe are typical motorcycle accident injuries?

Motorcycle accidents result in much bigger injuries than car to car accidents because the motorcyclist is exposed. It is not uncommon to see major broken bones, head injuries, brain injuries, paralysis. Motorcycle accidents are a challenge not only for the injured person but for the attorney representing them because there is also a natural bias in the juries and in insurance companies against motorcyclists.

What is a wrongful death lawsuit?

A wrongful death lawsuit really involves two different types of claims. One is the Survivor Claim, and one is what is traditionally called a Wrongful Death Claim. In the Survivorship Claim the family is entitled to all the expenses that were incurred by the death. In other words, medical expenses, funeral expenses, burial expenses and punitive damages. There's also the"Wrongful Death Claim. The Wrongful Death Claim is where each family member has a claim for the loss of anticipated financial support, and what we call loss of consortium: love, attention, affection,guidance...that you would have received from this person throughout your lifetime. So those are the elements of what is traditionally called a Wrongful Death Claim. I'm John Bisnar, the Senior Partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

Are wrongful death lawsuits common in California?

Wrongful death claims in California are as common as deaths caused by accidents. Because it’s just li-, it’s a personal injury case, but it’s not by the person who was injured directly, it’s by the person who is injured indirectly in the loss of a family member. So, are there a lot of wrongful death cases in California? Yes, there are; as many as there are personal injury actions for someone who died.

What's does an award cover in a wrongful death lawsuit?

A wrongful death claim in California can be brought by any family member. And what they're entitled to recover is the funeral expenses, the burial expenses and medical expenses. And then they can also recover whatever the lost income to them was. In other words, if a child is being supported by their parent and their parent is killed in an accident of some type, they can recover the anticipated income that they would have received from the parent. But the big unknown, the big tough one is the value of the loss of the relationship. You know, the loss of love, attention, affection, guidance, those kinds of things. That is the unique part of a wrongful death claim. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase Law Firm.

Who can make a claim in a wrongful death lawsuit?

In California, any family member can bring a wrongful death claim. It's a matter of how much is their claim worth, and their claim is valued by how close the relationship was, what was lost financially, what the burial expenses were, what the funeral expenses were, what the medical expenses were. But mostly, it's about the loss of a relationship. I'm John Bisnarr, the senior parter at Bisnarr Chase Law firm.

Can a child file a wrongful death lawsuit?

Children who’ve lost a parent in some kind of an accident cannot file a wrongful death claim. They can’t file any kind of claim because they don’t have standing in the court, because they’re not an adult. So what happens is an adult stands in for them, it’s called guardian ad litem. So typically it’s a parent, but it could be an aunt, an uncle, a grandparent. Then they can bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of the child for the loss of the support that they would have had, meaning financial support, and the loss of the support that they would have had, meaning emotional support – the love, attention, affection, personal guidance that they would have received from a parent.

How much will a wrongful death lawsuit cost?

People who are considering a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death lawsuit really do not need to concern themselves with up front costs as long as they are dealing with one of the real personal injury law firms that have real experience, really know what they are doing. Those law firms are going to advance all the costs of the case anyway. I've never had a client that could afford the costs upfront that it takes to pursue a lawsuit. All the best law firms will advance whatever it takes, take the money out of the recovery, and if there's no recovery, they'll eat the loss. So you don't need to be concerned about "what is it going to cost me?" I'm John Bisnar, senior partner of the Bisnar Chase law firm.

The kinds of signs to look for of nursing home neglect would be bedsores, that's the number one. Or if your elderly parent is complaining about something that is going on in the nursing home, listen to them because many times what they are telling you is correct. There is a lot of abuse, there's a lot of sexual abuse, there's a lot of neglect, there's a lot of failure to take care of them.

What is an auto defect lawsuit?

With regard to the difference between an auto accident case and an auto defect case, its very important to have an experienced lawyer that does auto defect cases to figure out the difference. If you're in an auto accident case, you typically are only going to be able to recover whatever the applicable insurance policy limits are on the person that caused the accident. That could be as low as $15,000. However, if an experienced lawyer is looking at the case they may note that a defect in the vehicle actually caused the injury and then you should have an auto products liability case and recover the full amount of damages you're entitled to.

What are the most common injuries in a car accident?

The most common kind of automobile accident injury is a whiplash because the majority of auto accidents are rear end accidents. You get a whiplash from the spine being stretched and snapped. Generally, whiplash injuries are an insult to the spine. The really bad thing about a whiplash injury is it doesn't really show up how bad it is for years after the accident.

Will my dog bite claim cover plastic surgery?

In a dog attack claim, not only is the victim entitled to the medical expenses that they incur initially, pain and suffering that they would have, any lost income that they would have, but the eventual plastic surgery to repair the scarring.

Should I hire a lawyer to file a dog bite claim?

An attorney can make a huge difference in a case when you are dealing with an adjustor. If you go to an adjustor to settle a case your self and he knows you're not an attorney and knows you can't go to trial you don't have much of a bargaining position. With an attorney who has a reputation with doing dog bite trials and getting large settlements in dog bite cases the insurance company has to be concerned because they know that type of an attorney can bring some heat and make some things happen and will probably get a much higher recovery than someone who is handling it themself.

Do I need a lawyer to file a dog bite claim?

In dog attack claims, you don't necessarily need an attorney to handle the claim. If it's serious an attorney will be a big help to you. If you are a fair negotiator, I mean if you know how to negotiate and you can handle dealing with an insurance company, then you could handle the claim yourself, as long as you know the value of the claim yourself (and that's the tricky part). Because a very experienced personal injury attorney, or a dog bite attorney, is gonna know what he settled his last 100 claims for and be able to identify the value of your claim versus those other claims.

In nursing home abuse cases, normally the clients that we've represented aren't looking to get money as much as they are looking to punish the nursing home and making sure that their loved one and other people's loved ones are treated properly instead of neglectfully. It's not a situation where people come to me looking for, "How much money can I get from a lawsuit," they're really looking for retribution, or punishment, setting an example, so that this kind of thing doesn't continue to go on.

Why is elder abuse becoming more common?

Elder abuse in California, and throughout the nation is a huge problem and its getting bigger everyday, it's getting bigger everyday because there are more elders. The companies who run elder facilities are for-profit facilities, and the way they can make more money, is by shorting the staff, so what happens is the amount of staff that is in nursing homes is usually much less then there should be, and much less than it takes to take care of the elderly people.

What are some common auto defects?

The most common types of auto defects that you see on the highways are rollover cases. There's a lot of SUVs on the highways today, SUVs roll over easier than passenger cars although they don't necessarily have to, but you're going to see a lot of rollover cases. You're going to see a lot of tire tread seperation cases, where the tread comes off the tire, then causing a rollover accident. You'll see airbag cases, where airbags failed to deploy or deploy untimely, just because it deployes, it's got to deploy just right or you can be injured from your airbag. There are defective seatbelt buckles on the highway, you could feel like you or your family member is safely buckled up, get in a rollover accident, get ejected from the vehicle and seriously injured or killed. People will assume you were not wearing your seatbelt, but you were. Seatbelt buckles are known to come undone at times as well. Hi, my name's Brian Chase.

Is a rollover accident caused by an auto defect?

Things to look for if you're involved in a rollover accident in California are not just the fact that you were in a rollover. Look for things such as roof crash. In other words, did the roof on the vehicle push in. Oftentimes, that can cause fatal to catastrophic injury to a person's head or neck. So look at the roof. See if the roof is deformed down towards the dashboard. Also, if your loved one was ejected from the vehicle, people are going to assume they weren't wearing their seatbelt. If you know they were a habitual seatbelt user, then they probably did have their seatbelt on, and they've got a seatbelt that's defective, and unlatched during the crash. You need an experienced attorney to know what to look for in the vehicle to prove or disprove seatbelt usage. Hi, my name's Brian Chase. I'm a partner at Bisnar Chase in Newport Beach, California.

Why do auto defects still happen in cars today?

The reason auto defects still happen is corporations that manufacture automobiles continuosly put profit over safety. Its been a constant theme for decades. Even with all the advancements that we see, the technological advancements with regard to manufacturing, manufacturers make profits on cars when they are using a 20 or 30 year old platform. Even though you have a new body on the car, and it looks like you have a new car, often times behind the skin of that vehicle you're driving a 30 year old car. Hi my name's Brian Chase.

Why do insurance companies limit car accident pay-outs?

Insurance companies limit payouts because that's where their profit is. You got to remember that when you pay your auto insurance premium only two or three percent of that dollar that you pay in premium goes to profit. However, every dollar saved on your claim is a dollar of profit. So therefore, it's 33 times more profitable for the insurance company to save a dollar on your claim than it is to get a dollar in premium payments. They are in the business to make money. They are in the truth, justice, fairness in American way business. They are for-profit business, and they will make their profit wherever they can.

What's the #1 mistake people make after an auto accident?

The biggest mistake people make in handling their own personal injury claim and dealing with the insurance adjuster is believing that the adjuster is on your side. Insurance adjusters are trained to limit claim payouts. Insurance adjusters get promotions and bonuses based upon how low they can settle claims for. And one of the best ways they can get you to settle a claim cheap is by being your friend and getting you to believe that they are on your side. They are not on your side. They are on the insurance company's side. They are there to make money for the insurance company by settling your claim as cheaply as possible.

What breath test device do they use in California?

In California, the breath testing devices that they use vary from city to city. In Orange County, they use an Alcohol Sensor 4.

Is the field sobriety test a scientific test?

For the standardized field sobriety test, there's been hours worth of preparation and literature that goes into the administration of those tests. Its a human, eye-hand, gate, coordination fiasco, which is not designed to have you do well on the side of the road. If they want you to do well, are they going to have you stand on two feet, the way you normally do, or are they going to have you stand on one foot?

What is the breath test and how does it work in California?

In California, if you choose to take a breath test, you blow into a tube. That tube has air that goes through it and they take, sort of like, a snap shot of the air that is blown through the tube at any given time and they convert that to some alcohol reading that'll be used against you at the DMV and in court. The breath test monitors how many little molecules of alcohol you have in this chamber. It's not very scientific. There are ways to beat those breath testing cases, but you still are required to complete either a blood or a breath test. I'm Virginia Landry.

Can I call a lawyer before taking the field sobriety test in California?

"Although most people in California would love to speak to an attorney before deciding to do a field sobriety test, in California you do not have that chance. A police officer is going to make you decide what information you want to give prior to the time that they give you a telephone call. In TV, in the newspapers, we hear about 'you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you. You have the right to speak to an attorney'. But not in a driving under the influence allegation, until after you've been arrested. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last nineteen years in Orange County I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for a DUI, please call."

Should I refuse to take the field sobriety test in California?

If you were stopped in California for the allegation of driving under the influence, you are not required by law to do standardized sobriety tests. Because they are designed for failure, it is my suggestion, that you cordially refuse to take those tests. Be straight forward with the officers. Say 'I don't think I wanna do those tests', 'Am I required to?'. Because you are not and a lot of times the police officer will still try to get you, on the side of the road, to do those tests. But because they are designed for failure, keep that in mind and you can refuse to take standardized field sobriety tests in California. I'm Virginia Landry.
