If you were hurt in a car accident in Brentwood, you are dealing with medical appointments, missed work and an insurance adjuster who started building a file the same day. I am Brandon Aminpour, a California attorney (State Bar #340927), and I handle these claims myself from my office at 6404 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 1111 in Los Angeles. When you call, you speak with me — not an intake department that hands your file to someone you never meet.
Sunset Boulevard through Brentwood is a two-lane road with blind curves, no shoulder in places, and driveways that empty straight onto it. San Vicente Boulevard has a landmark median and a running path that puts people crossing at signalized and unsignalized points along its length. The I-405 ramps at Sunset and Wilshire back up onto surface streets for much of the day. LAPD West LA Division takes reports.
Locations that come up repeatedly in Brentwood car accident claims:
Report the incident so there is an official record — in Brentwood that normally means the LAPD West LA Division. Get checked by a doctor the same day if you can; a gap between the incident and the first medical visit is the argument an adjuster reaches for first.
Then preserve what will disappear. Camera footage in this area is typically overwritten within days, and businesses will not hold it without a written request.
Evidence worth securing immediately:
These rules apply statewide, and they are what an insurer for a Brentwood claim will be applying to your file:
Missing a deadline ends a claim regardless of how strong it is. Three separate clocks matter in Los Angeles County:
I run a solo practice, which means the attorney who evaluates your case is the attorney who works it. I start by identifying every insurance policy that could respond, sending preservation letters before evidence is lost, and building the medical record properly rather than rushing a demand out the door.
You pay no attorney's fee unless I recover compensation for you. Case costs — records, filing fees, experts — are separate from the attorney's fee and are set out in writing in the fee agreement before I take the case, so nothing about the arrangement is a surprise later.
The consultation is free and there is no obligation. Call my office at (323) 879-9777, or send a message and I will get back to you.
Generally two years from the date of injury under Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. If a public entity is involved — a city street, a signal, a transit vehicle — you must present a written claim within six months under Government Code § 911.2, and that shorter deadline is not extended for minors. Because Brentwood claims often involve public property, it is worth having the deadline checked early.
Not to the existence of your claim. California follows pure comparative fault (Li v. Yellow Cab Co. (1975) 13 Cal.3d 804), so a share of responsibility reduces your recovery by that percentage rather than eliminating it. Insurers often propose a fault split early, before the evidence is in.
Not before you have advice. An adjuster is allowed to ask, and the statement becomes part of the file that gets used against you later — particularly on how the incident happened and how badly you were hurt in the first days, when injuries are often still developing. You can decline and refer them to your attorney.
The consultation is free. I work on a contingency fee, so you owe no attorney's fee unless I recover compensation. Case costs are separate from the attorney's fee and are explained in writing in the fee agreement before I begin.
My office is at 6404 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 1111, Los Angeles, CA 90048. I also handle consultations by phone and video, and I can arrange to meet somewhere convenient in Brentwood if travel is difficult after an injury. Call (323) 879-9777.
