Our Personal Injury Practice Areas
At Djougourian Law Corp, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases. Some of our primary practice areas include:
- Drunk Driving Accidents (DUI/DWI): We represent victims of crashes caused by intoxicated drivers. Drunk driving accidents often result in serious injuries or fatalities, and we pursue full compensation (including possible punitive damages) for those harmed by DUI/DWI negligence.
- Dog Bites & Animal Attacks: If you or your child suffered a dog bite or other animal attack, our firm can help. We hold pet owners accountable under California law for bites and attacks, seeking damages for medical bills, scars, pain and suffering, and other losses.
- Wrongful Death: We support families who have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. In wrongful death cases, we compassionately guide surviving family members through the legal process to recover compensation for their tragic loss (funeral expenses, loss of support, etc.).
- Slip and Fall Accidents: We handle premises liability cases such as slip, trip, and fall injuries. Whether you fell due to a wet floor, uneven pavement, poor lighting, or another hazard on someone’s property, we help you hold the property owner responsible for unsafe conditions.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Our team advocates for clients who have suffered severe back or spinal cord injuries – including herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, and paralysis. Spinal injuries can be life-altering, and we work to secure compensation for extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care needs.
- Neck Injuries: We have experience with neck and whiplash injury claims, common in car accidents and falls. Even “soft tissue” neck injuries can cause chronic pain and require therapy or injections. We fight to ensure neck injury victims are taken seriously and receive proper compensation for their recovery.
- Head and Brain Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and head trauma can have devastating effects on one’s life. We represent clients with concussions, brain contusions, and other head injuries caused by accidents. Our firm understands the medical complexities and long-term consequences of TBIs, and we strive to obtain funds for ongoing treatment, cognitive therapy, and the impacted quality of life.
- Workplace and Construction Accidents: In addition to workers’ compensation benefits, injured workers may have third-party personal injury claims (for example, against a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer). We handle work accident cases – from construction site injuries to industrial accidents – helping workers in Pasadena and beyond pursue all available avenues of compensation.
