Senior Attorneys, Not a Call Center
I grew up in Thousand Oaks, graduated from Thousand Oaks High School and UCLA Law School, and I've spent my career fighting for people who were seriously hurt in crashes across the Conejo Valley and greater Los Angeles. These cases aren't just files on a desk. I know what families go through after a serious accident, and I take that responsibility seriously.
When the Intersection Itself Is the Problem
Not every crash is a driver's fault. Under California Government Code § 835, a public entity, whether it's a city, county, or Caltrans, can be held liable when a dangerous condition on public property causes injury. A "dangerous condition" can include poor sight lines, missing turn lanes, inadequate signage, confusing lane markings, or signal timing that doesn't account for actual traffic patterns.
What makes a road design case different from a standard auto accident claim is evidence of notice. If a city knew or should have known about a hazard and failed to fix it, they're on the hook. Crash history at a specific location is one of the strongest forms of evidence that a condition was known. When the same spot produces crash after crash, it becomes very difficult for a government entity to argue they had no idea.

Not only was Arya easy to communicate with, incredibly intelligent with how he planned to achieve the goals, but he was also very warm and caring. I really enjoyed working with Arya. Warm, ethical, and intelligent is a great combo!
I cannot recommend L&F Brown highly enough. From the start of my case they were professional, talked me through the process and genuinely cared about my situation and concerns. My case went far longer than any of us expected, and I was ready to just accept the first settlement, but Arya and Curt fought to get me what I was entitled to. All in all, they went above and beyond at every step and I felt supported throughout my experience with them.
My husband was involved in a car accident back in February, and now that everything has been resolved, I just wanted to say how grateful we are for this amazing team. Everyone was incredibly kind, organized, and easy to communicate with. They always kept us updated, answered every question we had, and made sure we understood what was happening every step of the way. Having someone we could trust took so much stress off our shoulders during an already difficult time.
