Brett Schreiber focuses on high-stakes civil litigation — including severe personal injury, wrongful death, autonomous vehicle liability, civil rights violations, public infrastructure failures, product defects, consumer protection violations, and widespread mass tort actions against corporations and negligent government entities.
We work on a strict contingency fee basis. There are never any upfront fees, hourly bills, or out-of-pocket costs. We advance all litigation expenses, and our team only gets paid a percentage if we win financial recovery for you.
For claims against private individuals or corporations, you generally have two years from the exact date of the accident to file a formal personal injury lawsuit, and three years to pursue compensation for vehicle property damage.
Under the California Government Claims Act, you must file a formal administrative claim within six months — 180 days — of the incident. Missing this strict deadline completely bars your right to pursue any legal action or financial recovery.
Brett Schreiber served as lead trial counsel in Benavides v. Tesla, securing a landmark $243 million federal jury verdict in the nation's first wrongful death trial involving design defects and marketing failures of Tesla's automated Autopilot driving system.
Yes. California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation even if you were partially to blame — but your final financial recovery will be reduced by your exact percentage of fault as determined by the court.
A class action uses one lead plaintiff to resolve a uniform financial or consumer harm for an entire group. A mass tort treats every individual as a separate plaintiff with their own lawsuit — which is critical when physical injuries vary significantly between claimants.
No. Under California's Physicians Make Decisions Act, health insurers are legally prohibited from relying solely on artificial intelligence or automated algorithms to deny, delay, or alter insurance payouts for medically necessary care prescribed by a physician.
No. FEMA disaster relief and a civil lawsuit are completely independent. FEMA provides basic emergency aid — but a lawsuit against the city handles full structural remediation, personal property replacement, lost business income, and compensation for emotional distress.
Inverse condemnation is a strict liability standard holding public utility monopolies like PG&E or Southern California Edison financially responsible for property damage caused by their infrastructure — regardless of whether you can prove the utility acted with negligence.
Our firm represents over 700 residents impacted by municipal infrastructure failures along Chollas Creek — specifically targeting hard-hit corridors in Shelltown, Mountain View, Encanto, and Southeastern San Diego who suffered severe property damage and prolonged displacement.
You can pursue full economic damages covering past and future medical bills, lost wages, and lost earning capacity — alongside non-economic damages compensating you for physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disfigurement, and loss of life enjoyment.
In addition to federal civil rights claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the California Bane Act (Civil Code § 52.1) allows individuals to sue law enforcement for constitutional interference involving threats, intimidation, coercion, or physical brutality.
Insurance companies track law firm data. If a firm routinely settles quickly to avoid the courtroom, insurers offer pennies on the dollar. Hiring a firm with a proven track record of multi-million dollar jury verdicts forces corporations to negotiate fairly.
If a design flaw, pothole, missing signage, or unmaintained shoulder causes your collision, your personal injury claim expands into public entity liability — activating strict six-month government claim deadlines under California law.
When a collision is caused or worsened by failing automated software, defective airbags, brake malfunctions, or seatbelt failures, we file consumer protection product liability claims directly against the automotive manufacturer to hold them strictly accountable.
Yes. If someone else's negligence causes a fatal accident, a civil rights violation, or an infrastructure disaster, surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover economic support, funeral expenses, and compensation for emotional loss.
If a hospital or physician worsens your accident injuries through surgical errors, misdiagnosis, or medication mistakes during rehabilitation, we pursue a medical malpractice claim alongside your injury case to recover compensation for the full scope of harm.
Pedestrians and bicyclists have clear rights-of-way, and drivers who cause collisions through distracted or reckless behavior face severe liability. We aggressively pursue these claims to cover medical bills, physical therapy, and lost income.
