Proven Trial Advocacy for Accident Victims in Santa Monica

Operating from 730 Arizona Avenue in Santa Monica, Karns and Karns Personal Injury and Accident Attorneys delivers trial-tested representation across California and nationwide. Founded by brothers Bill Karns and Mike Karns, the family-owned trial firm has secured over $500 million in settlements and verdicts, supported by more than 2,500 five-star client reviews. When injured victims need to hire a personal injury lawyer with the resources to confront corporate defense networks, the firm provides relentless courtroom representation.
Car Collisions and Rideshare Accident Representation
Automobile crashes often result in debilitating physical suffering, escalating hospital bills, and weeks of missed wages. As skilled accident and injury lawyers and car accident lawyers, the firm investigates complex collisions involving reckless drivers, drunk driving, and Uber or Lyft rideshare vehicles. Rejecting the automated settlement mill approaches used by billboard advertisers, the attorneys carefully document physical trauma, vehicle destruction, and long-term rehabilitation needs to secure maximum payouts.
Commercial Truck and Tractor-Trailer Crashes
Due to the enormous mass of commercial freight haulers, collisions with big rigs regularly result in catastrophic or fatal outcomes. Serving as assertive truck accident lawyers, the firm deploys rapid-response investigators to secure electronic data recorders, driver rest logs, and vehicle inspection records, proving violations of federal trucking regulations and holding freight corporations liable for negligence.
Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Accidents
Motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians face elevated danger from inattentive motorists along Pacific Coast Highway and metropolitan roadways. Dedicated motorcycle accident lawyers, bicycle injury lawyers, and pedestrian injury lawyers dismantle adjuster bias against riders, gathering surveillance footage and accident reconstruction data to recover full damages for head trauma, fractures, and spinal injuries.
Premises Liability, Defective Products, and Dog Bites
The practice also excels in cases involving hazardous property conditions, dangerous consumer products, and animal attacks. Experienced slip and fall injury lawyers, defective product injury lawyers, and dog bite injury lawyers hold negligent commercial property managers, defective equipment designers, and dog owners accountable under California strict liability laws.
Dedicated California Wrongful Death Litigation
The firm maintains a specialized Wrongful Death Litigation Division created to support surviving families through life-altering loss. Compassionate wrongful death lawyers lift the entirety of the financial, investigative, and procedural burdens from grieving spouses and children, pursuing substantial restitution for medical expenses, funeral costs, and lost family income.
