Attorneys at Weinberg Gonser LLP have represented Los Angeles area businesses for decades. We are uniquely positioned to understand your business losses and present them for damages claims. In fact, lawyers on our experienced team have quietly obtained some of the highest settlement awards in connection with prior fires because we understand the complexities of commercial law.
Many of us are business partners, co-owners, and founders, of businesses ourselves, and some of us have endured losses from prior fires and seen the process of litigating and settling fire cases first-hand. As lawyers who typically assist many businesses in the start-up and operations phases, we offer practical and important perspectives on damages and what it will take to rebuild. We are also representing residential claimants (including the underinsured) and investigating insurance policy disputes for bad faith.
We can assist fire victims with a damages assessment as to the following:
- How your damages will relate to the casualty clauses in your commercial lease;
- Preserving your brand and trademarks business goodwill during business interruption, and its value in damages if you are unable to resume business;
- How to properly present the square footage of your lost business based on your lease;
- How to properly present the square footage of a lost business in a building you owned;
- How to maximize tax deductions for fire losses and how to shelter your settlement recovery funds;
- How to account for lost business improvements, equipment and upgrades;
- How to increase business interruption insurance payments under your insurance policy; and
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: How to appropriately quantify all business losses in your damages claim to boost your financial recovery and your business.
For our community’s fire victims, we are working on a contingent deferred fee basis. This means you do not have to pay for our expertise up front. Our legal fees are contingent and will only be paid in connection with any recovery.
