Merabi Law · Beverly Hills
Personal Injury Representation

Injured people deserve justice.

"She understands the other side's playbook, and she is prepared to challenge it."

A serious injury changes more than a body. It can mean pain, medical treatment, lost income, transportation problems, and pressure from an insurance company that wants the claim closed quickly and cheaply. Merabi Law represents injured people throughout California from Beverly Hills, and treats every case as a life rather than a claim number.

Before founding the firm, Shannon Merabi, Esq. spent much of her legal career as in house counsel. She has seen how businesses, property owners and their representatives evaluate a claim, decide what to admit, and decide how long to wait. That is why Merabi Law prepares an injury case in this order: documentation first, then strategic pressure, then a demand the other side cannot dismiss.

The firm handles automobile accidents, slip, trip and fall injuries, and other negligence matters, each with direct attorney involvement.

What the Law Covers

Negligence law in California, in plain terms.

A person or business that fails to use reasonable care and causes harm can be held responsible for the losses that follow. These are the matters Merabi Law handles and the rules that shape them.

Automobile accidentsCar, SUV and rideshare collisionsRear end and intersection crashes, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, uninsured motorist claims, and serious injuries caused by negligent driving.Car accident lawyer
Premises liabilitySlip, trip and fall injuriesWet floors, broken stairs, uneven walkways, poor lighting and missing handrails that a property owner should have fixed or warned about.Slip and fall lawyer
NegligenceOther preventable injuriesHarm caused by a person or company that failed to use reasonable care, where the evidence shows what happened, who was responsible, and what it cost.
Comparative faultShared responsibilityCalifornia follows pure comparative negligence. A recovery is reduced by the injured person's share of fault, not eliminated. Insurers overstate that share; the evidence settles it.
DamagesWhat compensation can includeMedical expenses, future care, lost income and earning capacity, property damage, and the pain and loss of enjoyment of life the injury caused. Each element has to be documented.
DeadlinesTime limits applyMost California injury claims must be filed within two years, and claims against a government entity generally require a written claim within six months. Waiting can end a case before it starts.

What To Do First

The first days decide a lot.

Insurers move fast after an injury because early statements and early offers favor them. These steps protect the claim.

Get medical care and follow it through

See a doctor the same day if possible, even if the pain seems minor. Adrenaline hides injuries, and every adjuster reads a gap before the first visit as proof that nothing serious happened. Keep every appointment and tell each provider how the injury occurred so the records tie the symptoms to the event.

Report it, but do not explain it

Report a collision to the police and a fall to the manager, and get the report number. Then stop. Recorded statements to the other side's insurer are used to trim liability, and a casual "I'm fine" at the scene becomes a defense later. Opinions about fault and injuries can wait until an attorney has reviewed the facts.

Write down what you remember

Within a day, write a timeline: the time, the place, the lighting or weather, what you were doing, what you saw, who was there, and what was said. Memories fade and the other side's version arrives in writing. A dated account in your own words is often the most persuasive document in the file.

Keep everything

Damaged property, torn clothing, the shoes you were wearing, receipts, discharge instructions, pay stubs showing missed work, and every letter, text or voicemail from an insurer. Do not repair the vehicle or discard anything until it has been photographed.

Talk to a lawyer before you talk to the adjuster

An adjuster's job is to close the file for the least amount possible, and the first offer is calibrated to people who have not yet learned what their claim involves. Merabi Law reviews the facts for free and, once retained, takes over every conversation with the insurers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers, no jargon.

If your question is not here, ask it in a free, confidential case review.

Ask Your Question
How much is my case worth?

No ethical attorney can promise a result before evaluating the evidence. Potential value depends on the severity and duration of the conditions or injuries, documented losses, available defendants and insurance, legal defenses, and many other factors.

How quickly should I contact a lawyer after an injury?

As soon as reasonably possible. Deadlines apply, evidence can disappear, memories can fade, and special rules may apply to claims involving government entities or other parties.

Do I have to go to court?

Many cases resolve without trial, while others require litigation. Merabi Law prepares each matter based on its facts and discusses strategy and major decisions with the client.

What if I was partly at fault?

California applies pure comparative negligence. A recovery is reduced by the injured person's percentage of fault, but a partial share of fault does not bar the claim. The evidence, not the adjuster, decides that number.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

Not before the full extent of the injury and the losses is known. Once a release is signed the claim is over, even if treatment continues for years. Merabi Law measures every offer against the documented medical costs, lost income and the effect on daily life.

What if the person who hurt me has no insurance?

There may be other sources of recovery: an employer, a vehicle owner, a property owner or management company, or the client's own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Identifying every responsible party and every policy is part of how Merabi Law builds the case.
