Personal Injury Practice

Our personal injury practice is recognized for having leading attorneys in the state of California.  We know and understand both sides: plaintiff and defense. We have represented people who have been injured or who have lost family members as a result of someone else’s carelessness or negligence, and we have pursued such claims. The firm has also successfully defended numerous liability claims against corporations, insurance companies and business entities.  We offer complimentary initial consultations for defense work and plaintiff representation is handled on a contingency basis as a percent of potential award or settlement.

We are committed to providing clients with the highest level of legal service. Passionate and experienced, we work diligently to help clients understand every aspect of their case. What sets us apart is our attorneys’ 30 years experience working both ends of the personal injury equation. By managing the critical issues from both sides we have been afforded a valuable dual perspective where we can anticipate the opposing legal strategies and be more proactive, adaptive and tactful  – we can quickly assess case advantages, work to fortify against weaknesses, mitigate the risk exposure and shrewdly advance the value propositions of a case.

Some of the complex personal injury and car accident cases we have handled involved wrongful death, amputation, commercial vehicles, multiple vehicles, missing or “phantom” vehicles, excavation injuries, construction injury, premises liability and toxic exposure, among others.

From the plaintiff side, Lytel & Lytel, LLP is dedicated to getting victims the greatest possible compensation for their injuries, pain, suffering, medical expenses and lost wages. We are well-known for providing outstanding legal representation to those who have been injured in an accident or suffered harm due to the negligence of a third party.  If we can’t get you any compensation – we don’t charge a fee at all.  We offer riskless free consultation, either at our offices, or if need be, at the hospital where you are recovering from the accident.

We have been active in personal injury cases involving basic auto accidents to complex litigation regarding improper loading of commercial trucks causing catastrophic injury. We accept plaintiff cases on a contingency basis - meaning the client does not pay us unless we recover compensation for the client's injuries or death. Our attorneys are also experienced in the prosecution of cases involving slip and fall injuries, bacterial contamination, chemical exposure, dog bites, and catastrophic injuries from malfunctioning machines and equipment. Unlike most personal injury law firms, our attorneys are not interested in handling a large number of personal injury cases – and for good reason. Firms handling a high volume of personal injury cases often struggle to provide the attention clients of wrongful conduct deserve. We are selective, enabling us to provide the time, effort and responsiveness associated with the highest level of client satisfaction.

 Our Success is Your Success:

  • We provide free, no obligation case evaluations.
  • We do not charge for our legal services unless we win.
  • We ensure that you have access to the medical treatment you need, before your case settles.


On the Defense-side, we take a leading role in representing insureds and carriers in cases involving alleged catastrophic death, severe injuries, soft tissue injuries and minor impact accidents. Members of the Firm have been retained by many of the major insurance companies providing coverage in California and have regularly represented their insureds. We have earned the reputation as specialists in insurance defense, consultation and litigation. We provide experienced trial counsel in areas of retail/premises liability, trucking and transportation, automobile, construction defect, excavation, business disputes, habitability and toxic tort.
