Meet our Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyers
There are great attorneys in all of our offices, and LA is no exception. Our LA attorneys include Drew Felix, Adrian Mendiondo, and Warren Astbury.
Adrian Mendiondo graduated cum laude from Pepperdine in 2003 and was admitted to the California bar shortly thereafter. Mr. Mendiondo has focused his practice on business, employment, and civil rights litigation, representing small and large businesses and governmental agencies.
Drew Felix is a partner in our firm’s Product Liability Safety Group, and has national litigation experience. Previously, he participated in individual tobacco litigation cases, had extensive involvement in pharmaceutical litigation involving Fen-Phen, and successfully represented racing fans injured during the February 2013 crash at Daytona International Speedway. Most recently, Mr. Felix has represented multiple families and individuals across the country who were seriously injured by defective Takata airbags.
Warren Astbury is an attorney in the firm’s Employee Rights Group. Mr. Astbury focuses his practice on representing workers with unpaid wage claims, discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims, medical leave claims, disability discrimination claims, and age discrimination claims. Prior to joining Morgan & Morgan, Mr. Astbury was a criminal prosecutor, and worked for one of the country’s largest corporate-side labor and employment firms representing Fortune 500 companies.
What It Means to Have a Contingency-Fee Lawyer: No Fee Unless We Win for You
The greatest challenge of finding a lawyer to represent you isn’t finding a good lawyer, it’s finding a good lawyer you can afford. At Morgan & Morgan, our goal is to be for the people, and to us that begins with offering our quality legal representation at a price anyone can afford.
We work exclusively on a contingency-fee basis, meaning our clients don’t owe us anything unless we win your case. If we win for you, we receive a reasonable percentage of the verdict or settlement. This way, no one with a valid case is ever turned away because they can’t afford us.
What Compensation Could I Get After an Accident?
People injured in an accident caused by the negligence of another are entitled to compensation to possibly get their lives back on track. As a result, if you’re cruising down the 101 and get into a car accident caused by another person, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, property damage, and emotional suffering, depending on the circumstances of your case.
In the most severe accidents in which a person is killed, their loved ones could recover compensation for some of the damages mentioned above, in addition to damages for wrongful death, loss of consortium, and in some cases, even punitive damages.
The value of each case is different depending on the circumstances of the incident, so it’s difficult to know what your case is worth without consulting an attorney. Aside from handling the legal procedure involved with your case, part of an attorney’s job is determining the true value of your claim.
Putting a price tag on property damage and medical bills is simpler than calculating emotional distress and pain and suffering. “Economic damages,” as the former are known, require adding up the dollar value to determine compensation, but “non-economic damages,” as pain and suffering are known, don’t have easily identifiable dollar values. This is where an experienced Los Angeles personal injury lawyer can help, because the attorney will have experience assessing the value of economic and non-economic damages.
