        A contingency fee means that if we obtain money for you, either via settlement or verdict, we deduct attorney fees and legal costs from the recovery and give you the rest. The percentage may vary depending on the risk involved in the case, which will be part of the contract. If we fail to reach a settlement or verdict in your favor, you do not owe us anything.

        For example, if you were injured in a car accident, you could talk to us about your rights. After the contingency fee contract is agreed upon, we will go to work immediately...

      Posted on July 1, 2013 by Dudek Law Firm

      Scripps Ranch is a community in the northeastern part of San Diego. The city is named after E.W. Scripps, the original owner of 400 acres that was later expanded to 1,200 acres located just east of Interstate 15 and south of Poway. Scripps Ranch residents enjoy boating and fishing at Miramar Reservoir. The community is well known in Southern California for its beautiful eucalyptus trees, particularly along Pomerado Road. The combination of walk-able neighborhoods, favorable weather and beautiful scenery, attracts both residents and visitors to activities such as cycling and boating in Scripps Ranch. Scripps Ranch is generally regarded as a safe community, but accidents inevitably do occur. Many of the young people in the community enjoy skateboarding and other activities.

      Jury Determines Helmet Manufacturer Negligent in Traumatic Brain Injury

      Posted on April 26, 2013 by Dudek Law Firm

      A Colorado jury awarded a traumatic brain injury (TBI) victim and his family $11.5 million in a personal injury lawsuit filed against football equipment and sporting goods manufacturer Riddell Sports, Inc., according to ESPN. Rhett Ridolfi, 22, suffered a concussion at a football practice at Trinidad High School in 2008. He was not immediately taken to the hospital and suffered severe brain damage as well as paralysis on the entire left side of his body. The lawsuit claimed that Riddell, the manufacturer of his football helmet, failed to properly warn consumers about the dangers of concussions and playing football. Ridolfi and his family initially filed the lawsuit against some of the school’s administrators and football coaches as well as Riddell. The jury determined that Riddell was negligent in not warning players and coaches, and found the company was 27 percent responsible for Ridolfi’s injuries. Riddell was ordered to pay $3.1…

      San Diego Accident Lawyer Applauds Neuro Research at UCLA

      Posted on April 12, 2013 by Dudek Law Firm

      Researchers at UCLA are cautiously optimistic about recent studies that are attempting to determine if doctors can minimize the risk of complications for traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims, according to the technology news publication VR-Zone. Scientists hope that by analyzing massive amounts of data, an advanced IBM-developed computer system will guide doctors and physicians with preventative care. The computer will analyze data such as pulse, heart rate activity and respiration. Analyzing neurotic measures and predicting complications is extremely complex, and the assistance of this computer may help to bridge the gap for doctors to fully understand why such complications occur. “The field of big data analytics is evolving to include new kinds of data from sources such as medical monitors, giving us insights into patients that weren’t previously possible,” said Dr. Martin Kohn, chief medical scientist for IBM. “We believe that UCLA’s promising research may one day transform the way…
