A History of Exemplary Results We Know What it Takes to Win in the Courtroom

Brownstein v. Seacrest

Boating Accident Recovery $1+ million

Richard Brownstein, a young lawyer, was riding his new Wet Bike (a motorcycle for water) for the first time at Castaic Lake. After he was able to teach himself how to stay on the Wet Bike, he unintentionally veered in front of an oncoming speedboat and was run over. The boat's unguarded propeller cut into Mr. Brownstein's head, causing him to be rendered a hemiplegic.

Biren Law Group developed evidence establishing comparative fault of multiple defendants. We argued that the boat's owner was driving negligently, trying to get dangerously close to the Wet Bike in order to see what it was. We also argued that the boat was dangerously designed because it did not include a propeller guard. In addition, we argued that the Wet Bike was defectively unstable, making riding it difficult for novices. Lastly, we argued that the State was negligent for failing to segregate boats from Jet Skis and Wet Bikes.

The case settled before trial with some of the defendants for an aggregate amount in excess of $1 million, despite very difficult liability.
