When I first met Vic Merjanian, I called him and asked him for legal advice regarding a food poisoning case in 2014. I had a severe case of Shigella from a restaurant in Newport Beach and was hospitalized for a couple of days and... Taylor

I found Vic online and talked to him. I had no health insurance and no money to pay for these kinds of bills. His firm covered close to 100,000 dollars worth of medical bills and sent me away with 30,000 dollars in my bank account. -David

It's hard not to be angry after you've suffered a personal injury. You're in pain, you're missing work and bills are piling up. This isn't the time to take some settlement. This is the time to act. This is the time to win. Hire one of the KM personal injury lawyers and you can relax because you know that our lawyers have a track record of fighting for clients and attaining high-dollar outcomes.
Types of Damages
PAIN AND SUFFERING
The jury will consider testimony from expert witnesses and the overall state of the plaintiff following his or her accident to award an appropriate amount to compensate physical pain, mental distress, and emotional suffering resulting from a defendant’s negligence.
MEDICAL EXPENSES
A plaintiff can claim compensation for all expenses related to medical treatment resulting from a negligent act. It’s crucial for the plaintiff to have proof that his or her medical expenses resulted from the defendant’s actions and not some other cause.
LOST INCOME
If an injury forced you to miss work in order to recover, you can claim compensation for the wages lost at that time.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
If the defendant’s negligent act damaged or destroyed the plaintiff’s personal property, the plaintiff can sue for the costs of replacing or repairing those items.

Food poisoning- Taylor T. Newport Beach, CA
yelp 5 star review
"Hardworking, honest, intelligent attorneys who truly cares about their clients."
"I had a severe case of Shigella from a restaurant in Newport Beach and had to go to the ER and urgent care and missed nearly a week of school. I was worried because I did not know how I was going to pay for my hospital/urgent care/outpatient bills and was very concerned about missing classes during graduate school. I have always been skeptical of lawyers in general and believe that some lawyers only tell clients what they want to hear, are crooks, make you feel rushed, and don't explain the possible outcomes. However, Mr. Merjanian spent a generous amount of his valuable time explaining the steps I needed to take for my individual case and told me step by step what to do next. Because of his work ethic and honesty, I feel privileged to be able to receive invaluable advice from him, and I know that many other clients are just as pleased with his work."

John was very professional, supportive and made sure we were well taken care along the whole process. John was in constant contact with us, keeping us updated with the progress made on our case as well just checking in to see how we both were doing. He made sure we got the medical attention needed by some amazing doctors.
