Tagline: "Caring. Experienced. Results-Driven." The firm has recovered over $100 million for its clients. Matadores Accident & Injury Lawyers represents individuals injured due to the negligence of others. Personal injury is the firm's sole practice area. Attorney Levik Yarian has more than two decades of litigation experience (admitted to the California State Bar in 2001). Before concentrating on plaintiff-side personal injury, he spent years representing defendants — giving the firm a strategic understanding of how insurance carriers and defense counsel evaluate and challenge claims. The firm prepares every case as though it will proceed to trial, working with medical specialists, accident reconstruction experts, economists, and life-care planners to build fully supported claims. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis — clients pay no attorney fees unless compensation is recovered. Free consultations are offered at both office locations and by phone.
