A Hollywood Tragedy Serves to Remind of the Importance of a Top Personal Injury Attorney

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In recent years, Cameron Y. Brock has garnered a well-earned reputation as the personal injury lawyer Los Angeles residents trust when unfortunate events like vehicle collisions occur. As the premier motorcycle accident attorney in Los Angeles and the chief lawyer at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc., Mr. Brock has consistently illustrated an exceptional understanding of legal matters at a fundamental level. However—perhaps most importantly, he has proven to be an empathetic and highly effective wrongful death attorney when preventable tragedy occurs.   

More than any other city in the US, driving is an essential aspect of the culture in Los Angeles. The city that spawned the film and television industry also brought the concept of freedom on the open road into the American consciousness. However, as we've learned since the glory days of chrome fenders and whitewall tires, the prevalence of automobiles can have a dangerous downside. Vehicle collisions have proven to be one of the leading causes of death for U.S. citizens, with nearly 11,000 deaths due to auto accidents occurring last year. Recently, L.A. received a stark and painful reminder of how dangerous cars can be when 'Fast & Furious' star Paul Walker was tragically killed.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Walker, 40, and his friend, identified as Roger Rodas, took a red Porsche for a ride as a charity event in support of Walker's organization Reach Out Worldwide was winding down. Witness Jim Torp says he heard a loud boom shortly thereafter, and knew an accident had occurred. Torp's son grabbed a fire extinguisher and headed over with about 20 other workers, but Torp says, "There was nothing they could do."

Investigators are reporting looking at whether nearby tire tracks were related to the crash, according to Sheriff's Deputy Peter Gomez. While the investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing, the event already serves as a stark reminder of what can happen on the road, even with seasoned drivers and racing enthusiasts like Walker and Rodas. Fortunately for L.A. residents, they can always count on Mr. Brock and the team at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc. to provide impeccable legal counsel in the event of an auto collision, personal injury, or even wrongful death case.

Since their inception, Mr. Brock's team has handled more than 5,000 accident cases, and as a testament to their impeccable skill, they've garnered a stellar 97% success rate, while earning over $100 million in settlements and awards for clients. When representing those who have been impacted by a vehicle accident, they look into every facet of the case in order to discover the guilty party—including road design, defective vehicles, driver negligence and inadequate signage—and always with the client's best interests in mind.
