Long-time California personal injury attorney David Woolf has a proven track record of recovering the highest financial awards allowable for his hundreds of clients who have been injured in an accident. And throughout the process, David remains in close contact with his clients so they stay informed, empowered, and confident they are receiving the best legal representation available.
A skilled negotiator, David can usually achieve a favorable resolution without having to resort to the time and expense of a trial. But if necessary, David is an experienced litigator who uses the most effective strategies possible to persuade juries to award large monetary damages to his clients.
David represents clients injured in all types of accidents, such as:
- Car crashes, truck collisions, and motorcycle accidents
- Uber and Lyft accidents
- Pedestrian knockdowns
- Bike accidents
- Slip-and-falls
- Dog bites
- Drownings
No matter whether his clients’ sustained minor soft-tissue damage or catastrophic back and brain trauma, David uses the law of negligence, strict liability, and premises liability to his clients’ advantage when fighting insurance companies for the largest settlement possible. And in cases involving fatal accidents, David zealously sues the culprits for wrongful death on behalf of the victims’ families.
David manages every aspect of his clients’ cases, from the intake meeting and matching clients with doctors to negotiating with insurance adjusters and closing out the case. His goal is to win every penny allowable under the law to compensate his clients for their:
- medical bills, including rehab,
- lost wages,
- lost earning capacity, and
- pain and suffering (often the biggest expense)
David began practicing personal injury law after being an accident victim himself. A serious car crash resulted in him getting major back surgery. The pain was minor compared to the frustration of dealing with doctors and insurance companies.
It is no wonder that so many blameless accident victims give up trying to collect the money damages they are legally due. Insurance companies use delay and scare tactics to intimidate the very people they should be begging forgiveness from. David does not want any other victims to endure the ordeal he did in trying to get compensated by Big Insurance.
David was selected as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers in 2021, 2020 and 2019. A Los Angeles native, David received his J.D. from Whittier School of Law. There, he worked in the special education clinic to help increase autistic children’s access to the education system.
David received his B.A. in history from California State University, Northridge (CSUN), where he was philanthropy chairman of Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity. David still provides pro bono representation for Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, where he helps low-income people receive immigration benefits.
