Case Results

Real results for injured clients across California.

Every result below is a real outcome for a real client. Each one started with someone who was hurt and a first offer that was far smaller than the harm, where the file records one. The first offer is shown next to the result so you can see the difference the work made.

  • Free consultation
  • No fee unless we win
Result$1,800,000
Motor Vehicle, Commercial

Our client suffered catastrophic injuries after being struck by a commercial delivery driver who was on the job. The delivery company paid its full $1,000,000 policy, and the corporate parent refused to add anything, calling the driver an “independent contractor.” We pursued the parent company directly and secured an additional $800,000, for $1,800,000 in total.

Result$400,000
Motor Vehicle, Rear-End (multi-vehicle)

Our client developed ongoing neck pain after a multi-vehicle rear-end collision on the highway, requiring pain-management treatment. The case resolved for $400,000.

Result$275,000
First offer$0
Motor Vehicle, Chain Collision

The other side valued our client's injuries at $5,000 to $10,000 and called it a “soft impact.” Our client was the third car struck in a chain-reaction collision. We filed suit and recovered $275,000.

Result$250,000
First offer$10,000
Premises Liability, Trip & Fall

Our client tripped and fell at a restaurant. Witness depositions and discovery guided the case to a $250,000 settlement.

Result$150,000
Motor Vehicle, Highway

Fault was disputed. After a month of negotiation the other side accepted responsibility and paid $150,000 in total, more than $100,000 of it for pain and suffering.

ResultSix-Figure Settlement
Motor Vehicle, Hit & Run

Our client was injured by a hit-and-run driver. We recovered the full available policy limits, paid as soon as our demand was received, in under six months.

ResultSix-Figure Settlement
Motor Vehicle, Hit & Run, Driver Located

A driver fled the scene after a low-impact highway crash. Using photos and dash-cam footage we identified and located the driver. The driver's full policy was paid immediately, and our client's own coverage paid the remaining limits on our demand.

ResultSix-Figure Settlement
Premises Liability, Nightclub

Our client was injured by a dangerous condition at a nightclub. The case settled in litigation for a six-figure sum after discovery.

Result$100,000
Motor Vehicle, Highway

No offer was made at all. After our demand, the full $100,000 policy was paid on the very day the demand expired.

Result$100,000
First offer$42,000
Motor Vehicle

We filed suit, and the policy limits were tendered immediately, for a $100,000 recovery.

How these results happen

There is no trick to it. A case is worth what can be proven, so the work starts on day one.

01Evidence before it disappears

Camera footage, dash-cam and phone data, scene photographs, and witness statements taken while memories are fresh. In one hit-and-run above, photos and dash-cam footage identified a driver the police could not.

02Medical records that tell the truth

Treating physicians, not summaries. Every visit, every bill, and the long-term picture, so a “minor accident” argument is answered with a medical record rather than an opinion.

03Patience, and a firm that does not blink

When the offer does not reflect the harm, the firm files suit and keeps going. Several results above were paid in full within days of that step. You are involved in every decision to settle.

What these numbers do not show

Every case is different. The results on this page depend on the insurance available, the strength of the evidence, the injuries involved, and decisions the client made along the way. Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter, and no attorney should promise you a number at the first meeting. What the firm can promise is the same approach on every file, and that you are told the truth about where it stands.

Questions people ask about results

How long did these cases take?

Some resolved in a few months. Cases that went into a lawsuit took longer, often a year or more. The right length is the one that lets your injuries be fully understood before the case is valued.

Will my case settle or go to court?

Most injury cases settle. Many of the results above only became possible because the firm was ready to file and did. You are involved in every decision to settle.

What does it cost to get results like these?

Nothing up front. The firm works on a contingency fee, explained in writing before any work begins, and there is no fee unless we win.

What if the insurance company has already made me an offer?

Do not accept it before speaking with an attorney. Several results above began with a first offer of $0, $10,000 or $42,000 and ended at the policy limits. A consultation is free, and there is no obligation.

Wali A. · Google review
★★★★★

As a retired attorney, I feel qualified to evaluate Mr. Manoukian's representation of me in an injury law suit. Mr. Manoukian was responsive to all of my communications; he was an excellent draftsman in all correspondence and pleadings; he analyzed the matter precisely; he demonstrated great knowledge of the issues; he was a delight to work with; and he did an excellent job in preparing me for my deposition.
