A Law Firm That Takes A Personal Interest In Its Clients

At Heller Law Firm, APC, a personal injury law firm in Woodland Hills, California, we hear stories like the one about a 9-year-old boy in Sacramento County whose family we represented. The boy — we’ll call him Michael — was invited to an after-school swim party for about 20 children.

The homeowner who hosted the party left the children by the backyard pool unattended. Another boy pushed Michael into the pool and then jumped on top of him. Stunned and frightened, Michael sunk in the deep end of the pool and was not pulled out of the water until at least five minutes later.

Michael was unresponsive. He was rushed to the hospital where he was diagnosed with irreversible brain damage. His parents discovered that day that their son would be in a coma and require 24/7 care for the rest of his life.

It’s cliché to say that life can change in an instant. Not for little Michael or his parents.

Our thorough investigation of the incident revealed that the boy who pushed Michael into the pool was known to have behavioral problems at school and picked fights often. This boy’s parents were aware of his aggressive propensities and failed to either stay at the party to monitor their son or warn a responsible adult at the party about him. We obtained a policy limits multimillion-dollar settlement for Michael from the insurance company of the homeowner who hosted the party and from the insurance company of the parents of the boy who pushed Michael into the pool.

Of course, in cases like Michael’s, no amount of money can adequately compensate him or his family. They had already suffered irreparable harm. We ensured that the tragedy was not compounded by putting an undue financial strain on the family to pay medical bills and fund a lifetime of assisted care for Michael. The money we obtained for Michael allowed his parents to provide the finest care required for the rest of Michael’s life.
