With more than 35 years of experience representing plaintiffs who have sustained serious personal injuries or financial losses, the trial lawyers of BIREN|KATZMAN have successfully handled hundreds of cases, collecting more than $250 million for our clients. The following case is just one example:
HEBB V. TEMECULA VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Student Who Sustained Closed Head Injury Awarded $1.44 Million
While running a prescribed course during gym class, Matthew Hebb rounded the blind corner of a building and collided with a golf cart driven by a campus security guard, that was either stopped or moving very slow. The School District claimed that all Matthew received was a bump on his arm; no head injury.
After the accident, Matthew and his family noticed that he was functioning much differently. He was still a straight A student, but now was working extremely hard to obtain grades, whereas before the accident everything was a snap. Then, he experienced several gran mal seizures.
BIREN|KATZMAN put together a team of liability and damage experts that proved the case. The Riverside jury not only believed that both the security officer and the teacher that assigned the route around the blind corner were negligent, but also that Matthew had sustained brain damage despite the absence of any physical evidence of head trauma or any medical treatment for a head injury during the first few months after the accident.
