[March 26, 2025] We are thrilled to announce significant growth at Lydecker and the expansion of our presence in California. We now have four strategically located offices in Los Angeles, Newport Beach, San Diego, and San Francisco, enhancing our capacity to serve clients throughout the state.
Our California Practice Group boasts substantial experience across several key areas and has represented both private and public entities across California. Our team has handled Automotive / Transportation Accidents, Bodily Injury Defense, Catastrophic Injury Claims & Wrongful Death, Commercial Trucking & Transportation, Construction Accidents, Construction Defect, Intentional Torts, Negligence and Negligent Security, Premises Liability & Homeowner Liability, Products Liability (involving automobiles, consumer products, sporting goods, metals, and industrial equipment), Residential Care facilities, Slip & Fall / Trip & Fall, Toxic Tort liability (involving organic solvents/chemicals) and Workers Compensation/Third-Party Exclusive Remedy Cases.
Premises Liability: We represent commercial and private property owners facing potential liabilities from personal injuries and damages occurring on their properties. Our approach includes rigorous investigations to uncover essential facts about each incident, ensuring property owners fulfill their legal duties while protecting against unreasonable claims. This includes protecting the safety of consumers, clients and others who walk in and out of office buildings, parking lots, residences and shopping malls.
Mass Torts and Environmental (Toxic Tort): Our team has considerable knowledge, training and experience in defending various environmental claims on behalf of a number of public and private entities. We have handled environmental cases with losses arising from environmental toxic hazards, asbestos, benzene, air pollution, ground water contamination, diesel gasoline and other contaminates requiring remediation and treatment. Our Mass Tort Division is equipped to handle complex, high-stakes disputes with unmatched precision and legal acumen. Specializing in defending businesses against mass tort claims involving hundreds of high exposure claims, we bring a strategic, data-driven approach to litigation that is tailored to the unique challenges of each case. Our team, comprised of seasoned litigators with extensive experience in multi-plaintiff scenarios, is adept at navigating the intricacies of mass tort law, from product liability to environmental litigation and beyond.
Slip/Trip and Fall Incidents: Our defense against slip, trip, and fall claims involves thorough investigations and robust legal strategies, often working closely with property owners and landlords to challenge claims of negligence.
Products Liability: Our seasoned team manages a variety of claims related to the design, manufacture, and warnings of products including exercise/sports equipment, automobiles, metals/alloys, industrial products, and complex machinery. Their expertise is crucial in navigating the complexities these cases entail, often requiring detailed analysis by expert witnesses.
Employment Law: Our Employment Law team represents private and public employers, including municipalities, in state and federal courts, arbitration, and agency investigations. We handle single-plaintiff, class action, and other mass/representative litigation, as well as EEOC and California CRD audits, Department of Labor proceedings, and other state-specific employment matters. Our team assists with Human Resources investigations, employee handbooks, and company policy updates, ensuring compliance and risk mitigation. We also enforce non-disclosure, non-solicitation, and non-compete agreements and engage in all necessary action to protect trade secrets. We also lend support in drafting workplace violence policies, threat response, and post-incident litigation management. With a deep experience and a data-driven, results-focused approach, we help employers navigate complex workplace challenges.
Medical and Professional Malpractice: We defend healthcare professionals against claims of malpractice. Our team works closely with medical experts to evaluate the care provided, ensuring that the healthcare professional adhered to established protocols, guidelines, and standards within their field.
Automobile Accidents: We handle serious bodily injury claims resulting from auto and trucking accidents, focusing on all aspects of liability, causation, and damages. From day one, our team is proactive in interviewing involved parties and preserving critical evidence. Injuries in these cases cover the spectrum of claims – from neck/back sprain/strain and soft-tissue pain to wrongful death, burns, disfigurement, paralysis, multiple fractures, head trauma, and loss of eyesight.
Workplace Injuries: Specializing in defense against workplace injury claims, our lawyers represent general contractors and businesses in cases that often intersect with workers’ compensation laws. Our defense strategies are tailored to investigate the specific circumstances of each accident.
Lydecker reaffirms its commitment to delivering exemplary legal services across California. We are excited to bring our robust expertise and dedicated legal practice closer to our clients, offering them enhanced support and local presence.
