No one comes to a personal injury and wrongful death law firm under good circumstances. A driver makes a bad decision on the freeway and, in the blink of an eye, a crash occurs, people are injured or killed and lives are forever changed. A property owner forgets to repair a fence or gate and it falls on top of a child playing in the driveway causing brain damage. A young man, who proudly served his country in war and survived only to be killed on his motorcycle by an impatient driver who failed to look before changing lanes.

The Law Offices of Steven M. Sweat, APC chose personal injury at the sole 100% focus of their legal practice to help accident victims and the families of those killed by negligence or wrongdoing regain hope following such tragedies. Unfortunately, the American Civil Justice System can only provide monetary compensation to tort victims and no amount of money can replace a life or a limb. However, helping people pay for medical care, getting them compensated for lost wages and income, and providing them with funds to pay for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by these tragedies is what we thrive on!

For over 20 years, Steven M. Sweat, APC and our network of affiliated attorneys, paralegals and staff have been obtaining consistent results in many types of personal injury claims. We represent injury or death victims and their families in auto accidents, bicycle crashes, commercial vehicle collisions including truck and big rig incidents, dog bites, dangerous conditions of private and public property causing people to be injured or killed, motorcycle wrecks, pedestrians struck by motor vehicles, railway and commuter bus accidents, sexual assault and abuse claims, and many other instances where carelessness or wrongful conduct has caused bodily harm or death.

There are thousands of attorneys and lawyers in Los Angeles and throughout California that claim to be "personal injury lawyers" or "car accident attorneys" or "brain injury" or "spine injury" law firms. Very few of these legal professionals have obtained consistent verdicts and settlements numbering in the thousands over a 20 year time span and with as many positive client reviews and experiences as we have. Why is this? Unfortunately, there are far too many "personal injury lawyers" in California who are operating "settlement mills" (i.e. they take in as many files as possible, they take whatever they can get for a settlement offer and they move on to the next file). This is true from solo practitioners to what seem like the largest "national injury law firms". This is NOT our business model! We stake our legal reputation on obtaining the absolute best result on each and every case we retain. Will this always be "millions of dollars", no, but, it we will never sell you short and that is our promise!
