Success Record & Case Results

Selarz Law Corp. had the privilege of representing a sixty-four-year-old woman, who suffered life-threatening injuries, when a City Garbage Truck made a right turn and violently struck our client, as she was legally in the crosswalk, on her way to the grocery store.

The impact left our client with catastrophic injuries, including extensive degloving of her right leg, a complete dislocation of her right patella, comminuted, compound and displaced fractures of her right femur and tibia. Our client further sustained multiple lacerations and fractures throughout her head, shoulders, and hips and was diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury.

The Defendant refused to take responsibility for the collision and attempted to blame our client for the accident. After two years of aggressive litigation, the Defendant City eventually admitted 100% fault for the collision. On the eve of trial, we were able to secure a landmark settlement of $9,500,000.00, which will guarantee that our client has access to the medical treatment that she needs for the rest of her life.

This settlement was the sixth largest of 2017 in the State of California.

Selarz Law Corp. obtained a $1,175,000.00 settlement on behalf of two children, whos’ father was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in San Bernardino, California. The Defendants challenged every aspect of the case, from liability to course and scope of employment.

Our firm was successful in overcoming Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment, promoting this significant settlement, which will guarantee our clients’ the financial support they need.

Selarz Law Corp. had the privilege of representing a twelve-year-old girl, who was struck in the head by a foul ball, while attending a United States Baseball Game at Blair Field, on the California State University, Long Beach Campus. The impact resulted in severe injuries, including permanent loss of vision in one eye, among others.

Citing the century-old “Baseball Rule”, the Trial Court dismissed the case on Demurrer. Upon appeal, we were successful in reversing the Trial Court’s decision, re-defining the standard for spectator safety at baseball games. Following more than eight years of litigation and appellate work, we successfully obtained a $1,000,000.00 policy limits settlement on behalf of the young girl.

The case gained national publicity and was cited and discussed in numerous publications, including the Los Angeles Times, Ballpark Digest and a Sports Illustrated Article entitled “Crying Foul Over Ballpark Injuries”

Despite the at-fault driver operating his vehicle without insurance, we recovered a $450,000.00 settlement through our clients’ own insurance carrier to compensate them for their medical expenses and pain and suffering.
