California Asbestos Exposure Claims
As a top mesothelioma law firm, Sokolove Law can help asbestos exposure victims find out how they were exposed and pursue compensation from the companies that hid the risks.
Compensation from a mesothelioma lawsuit ranges from $1 Million to $11.4 Million on average, depending on if the case results in a settlement or trial verdict.

Medical Malpractice & Misdiagnosis in CA
If a health care provider makes a mistake that harms a patient, it may be considered medical malpractice. Each year, around 750,000 Americans die or are permanently disabled due to medical errors, according to Johns Hopkins.
Malpractice cases commonly involve failing to diagnose patients quickly and accurately, which can give conditions time to worsen and delay treatments.
Results we’ve secured for patients and their families include:
$3.5 Million to a patient who received an incorrect diagnosis
$2 Million to the family of a girl who passed away due to medical malpractice
$3.1 Million to a woman who was misdiagnosed
$2 Million for the wife of a patient who passed away from cancer that was misdiagnosed
Our firm has also secured compensation for victims of surgical malpractice, which can include incorrect operations and injuries suffered during a procedure.
At Sokolove Law, our California malpractice lawyers can help hold negligent health care workers accountable and seek compensation on your behalf.
California Birth Injuries
When a medical professional’s error injures a child before, during, or shortly after birth, families may be able to file a birth injury lawsuit for compensation.
The average payout from a birth injury claim is around $1 Million, depending on your child’s condition. This money can help pay for therapies, home modifications, assistive devices, and more.
$5 Million for a child who suffered an injury from not breathing at birth in Palmdale
$5.85 Million to a San Bernardino family impacted by CP
We have registered nurses on staff who can listen to your experience and help you determine if a medical mistake may have caused your child’s condition.
Get a free case review now to find out if you may be eligible to pursue birth injury compensation for your child.
California Disability Insurance Denials
Many insurance providers have a history of wrongfully denying claims, leaving workers without the support they need during a difficult time.
Even if a medical condition qualifies for compensation under your policy, your insurer may still deny the claim — but we’ve helped many families fight back and get the benefits they're owed.
Some of our results for California denied disability claims include:
$1.15 Million for an Alameda woman with a denied disability claim
$800,000 to a San Mateo man with a denied Unum claim
$656,000 for a woman in San Bernardino facing an unfair claim denial
$725,000 to a Moreno Valley client whose claim was denied
If your long-term disability (LTD) claim was wrongfully denied, we may be able to help you file an appeal or take legal action against your insurance company.
At Sokolove Law, our LTD lawyers in California have the experience and resources needed to get you the benefits you deserve.
Abuse & Neglect in California Nursing Homes
Tragically, cases of nursing home abuse and neglect are on the rise. If you suspect your loved one isn’t being cared for properly in a residential care facility, you may be able to file a nursing home abuse lawsuit.
$1 Million for a Hayward man whose mother choked to death during lunch despite being on assisted feeding
$700,000 for a Los Angeles client whose mother didn’t receive her medication in care
$845,000 to a woman in Los Angeles whose grandmother was hospitalized due to severe bedsores
$1 Million for an Orangevale client whose mother-in-law with dementia was neglected
Compensation from a nursing home abuse lawsuit can help pay for medical bills, assist with funeral expenses, and provide you with the money needed to transfer your loved one to a safer facility.
“With the number of seniors expected to rise over the next decade, this neglect will likely rise unless lawyers can make it financially painful enough for these companies to have to stop.” – Ricky Leblanc, Managing Attorney at Sokolove Law
Call (800) 995-1212 now to see if our nursing home abuse lawyers in California can seek justice for your family. It costs nothing to speak with us.
Lyft & Uber Lawsuits in California
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have been accused of failing to implement safety features needed to keep passengers safe.
Thousands of riders have filed complaints over incidents like:
Abduction or being kidnapped
Indecent exposure
Physical assault
Sexual abuse and harassment
We’re committed to helping survivors of rideshare assaults seek justice and compensation by filing lawsuits against Uber or Lyft.
Silicosis in California Residents
Cases of silicosis in California have been on the rise, especially among stone fabricators and others exposed to silica dust from engineered stone countertops.
At Sokolove Law, we can help workers file a silicosis lawsuit and pursue compensation — even if they're not American citizens.
In August 2024, a Los Angeles jury awarded over $52 Million to a 34-year-old fabrication worker with silicosis.
Contact us now if you or someone you love has been diagnosed with silicosis. Let us get you the money you deserve.
Depo-Provera Settlements in California
Depo-Provera, a popular birth control shot, may put patients at an increased risk of brain tumors known as meningiomas.
Despite being aware that some women who used the Depo shot for over a year developed meningiomas, Pfizer, the drug’s manufacturer, hasn’t updated the warning label to include this information.
At Sokolove Law, our Depo-Provera attorneys in California may be able to help you file a lawsuit against Pfizer and seek compensation for your condition.
Depo-Provera lawsuit settlements may result in compensation that can help pay for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more.
Car & Truck Accidents in CA
Thousands of car accidents take place throughout California each year. These crashes can result in serious injuries, property damage, and even death.
When an accident involves a truck or commercial vehicle, the damage may be more severe due to the size and weight of these vehicles.
Victims of an auto accident may be pressured into accepting low offers from an insurance company — but our car crash attorneys can fight to get you the results you need.
California Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can cause serious physical and emotional harm. These animals can also injure people in other ways, like by jumping up and knocking someone over.
Common injuries from dogs in California can include:
Bruising
Emotional trauma
Fractures and broken bones
Infections
Nerve damage
Puncture wounds
Scarring
Tendon or ligament damage
Death
A dog bite lawsuit can allow you to access much-needed compensation after an unexpected injury. This money is often awarded through the dog owner's homeowners or renters insurance policy.
Slip & Fall Accidents in California
Slip and fall accidents can happen to anyone. Wet floors, broken stairs, uneven flooring, and cluttered walkways can all lead to unexpected injury.
When public places like parking lots, businesses, or even the outside of someone’s home aren’t properly maintained, they can become dangerous and put you at risk.
If you’ve been injured by slipping and falling in a public space, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation.
Workplace Injuries & Workers Comp in California
Workplace injuries or illnesses can have a significant impact on an individual’s health and their ability to earn an income. In California, employees are usually entitled to workers' compensation benefits.
However, your employer’s insurance company may try to deny your claim. They could also downplay your injury to try to avoid paying the amount you’re owed.
In one case, we secured $500,000 for a nurse who dislocated her ankle while trying to prevent a patient from falling.
Workers’ compensation covers anything from a strained muscle to chemical poisoning or a traumatic brain injury.
At Sokolove Law, our personal injury lawyers in CA have decades of experience seeking justice for victims who have been injured through no fault of their own.
At Sokolove Law, our attorneys strive to make filing a California personal injury lawsuit as easy and stress-free as possible.

There are no hourly fees or out-of-pocket costs to work with our California personal injury lawyers. We only get paid if we successfully secure compensation for you.
Act Fast Before the Deadline Passes
In California, you only have 2 years after an incident occurs to file a personal injury lawsuit because of the statute of limitations.
Once the deadline passes, you won’t be able to pursue compensation for your injuries again.
