THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Medical malpractice claims are some of the most challenging to pursue and win. They are governed by arcane laws which work against victims, not for them. Heimberg Barr LLP was recently awarded the title of Elite Trial Lawyers by The National Law Journal, effectively naming us the best medical malpractice firm in the nation. We earned this distinction because we secure some of the largest verdicts and medical malpractice settlements in California for our clients. Dr. Steven Heimberg knows what it takes to win.
THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR
CATASTROPHIC INJURY
Everything we do as medical malpractice lawyers informs how we practice catastrophic injury law. Dr. Heimberg understands, easily and immediately, all of the medical jargon and posturing that the wrongdoers often hide behind. Senior Partner Steven Heimberg put decades of experience taking complex injury cases to trial to work for clients. This experience, along with their ability to accurately assess the severity of an injury and the costs for caring for the catastrophically injured, is why they are routinely honored as being among the best trial attorneys in the state and in the country.
THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR
CATASTROPHIC BIRTH INJURY CLAIMS
Birth injuries change family’s futures forever. They can require lifetime medical care and expenses you’ve probably never had to think about before. As a doctor and a trial lawyer, Dr. Heimberg’s medical knowledge makes him your best ally when coping with your child’s life altering birth injury, and the firm is able to defeat the vast resources that the companies (and insurance companies) bring to prevent those in your situation from getting what they deserve.

Experience matters when you are living with a catastrophic injury
Sometimes accidents can cause injuries that change your life forever. Victims face not only immediate physical, mental, and emotional hardship and pain; they may also face years, or even a lifetime, of crippling medical bills, lost employment, and other extreme financial hardships.
The injured person is not the only one whose life will be irreparably altered: entire families must adjust to a “new normal.” In most cases, these families are overwhelmingly underprepared and underfinanced.
Money can never bring back your health or a loved one, but it can help to rebuild your life after a catastrophic accident or life-altering injury.
As one of the top medical malpractice and personal injury law firms, not only in Los Angeles but throughout California and the whole USA, Heimberg Barr LLP attorneys understand what this means for their clients. Because of the firm’s attorneys’ unique qualifications and experience, they consistently obtain just compensation for their catastrophically injured clients.

Heimberg Barr LLP lawyers established that the surgeon prematurely left the OR and failed to timely respond to emergency calls when complications arose. The jury declared the surgeon negligent and awarded punitive damages. This verdict led to Heimberg Barr LLP being recognized for numerous honors including being named the top Medical Malpractice firm in the country by The National Law Journal.

VERDICT FOR MAN WHO SUFFERED BRAIN DAMAGE DUE TO IMPROPER CPR AND LACK OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AT LA FITNESS. Riverside County jury returned a $14.6 million verdict in favor of a man who went into cardiac arrest while playing basketball at an LA Fitness and his wife. Heimberg Barr LLP lawyers proved that LA Fitness was grossly negligent in its preparation and response, and performed inadequate CPR, leading the jury to conclude that the delayed and negligent conduct of LA Fitness employees caused Plaintiff to suffer severe brain damage. Overcoming numerous and complex legal issues of contractual waiver, statutory immunities and assumption of risk defenses, this became one of the first successful cases to hold a fitness club responsible for inadequate emergency response.
