Personal Injury Representation Across California
Aggressive advocacy for accident victims. 20+ years of experience. Millions recovered.
AUTO ACCIDENTS
Car Accident Attorney in Orange County
Every day, Californians are injured in car accidents caused by distracted drivers, drunk drivers, speeding, and reckless behavior. If you’ve been hurt in a collision, you’re likely dealing with medical bills, lost wages, pain, and uncertainty about the future.
Insurance companies will try to settle your claim quickly and cheaply. They’ll pressure you to accept less than you deserve before you even understand the full extent of your injuries. Don’t let them.
Robert Zermeno has recovered hundreds of thousands—and millions—of dollars for car accident victims. He knows how to investigate accidents, establish liability, document damages, and negotiate with insurers who don’t want to pay what they owe.

SLIP & FALL / PREMISES LIABILITY
Premises Liability Attorney Holding Property Owners Accountable
Property owners in California have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail—and someone gets hurt—they can be held liable for the resulting injuries.
Slip and fall cases might sound simple, but they’re often aggressively defended. Property owners and their insurers will argue you weren’t paying attention, that the hazard was “open and obvious,” or that they had no knowledge of the dangerous condition.
Robert Zermeno knows these defense tactics inside and out. He builds strong cases by gathering evidence quickly, documenting the hazardous condition, and establishing what the property owner knew (or should have known) before your accident.

DOG BITES
Dog Bite Attorney Fighting for Victims
Dog attacks can cause serious physical injuries—deep lacerations, puncture wounds, broken bones, nerve damage, and permanent scarring. But the emotional trauma can be just as severe, especially for children.
California has some of the strongest dog bite laws in the country. Under California Civil Code Section 3342, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs in most situations. This means you don’t have to prove the owner was negligent or knew the dog was dangerous—if their dog bit you, they’re responsible.
Robert Zermeno helps dog bite victims recover compensation for medical treatment, reconstructive surgery, psychological counseling, lost wages, and pain and suffering. He handles these cases with the sensitivity they require while aggressively pursuing the compensation you deserve.
Injuries commonly caused by dog attacks
- Puncture wounds and lacerations
- Facial injuries and scarring
- Nerve damage
- Broken bones
- Infections
- Emotional trauma and PTSD (especially in children)
Wrongful Death
Wrongful Death Attorney Helping Families Seek Justice
Losing a loved one is devastating. When that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, the grief is compounded by anger, confusion, and financial uncertainty.
A wrongful death claim can’t bring your loved one back. But it can provide financial security for surviving family members, hold the responsible party accountable, and deliver a measure of justice during an incredibly difficult time.
Robert Zermeno handles wrongful death cases with compassion and care. He understands the emotional weight these cases carry, and he works to ease the burden on grieving families while fighting aggressively for the compensation they need and deserve.
Common causes of wrongful death
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Defective products
- Premises liability accidents
- Criminal acts
Who can file a wrongful death claim in California
- Surviving spouse or domestic partner
- If no spouse or children, those entitled to the deceased's property under intestate succession laws
- Surviving children
Compensation may include
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of love, companionship, and guidance
- Medical expenses incurred before death
CATASTROPHIC INJURY
Catastrophic Injury Attorney for Life-Altering Cases
Some injuries change everything. A spinal cord injury that causes paralysis. A traumatic brain injury that affects cognitive function. A severe burn that requires years of reconstructive surgery. An amputation that alters how you live and work for the rest of your life.
Catastrophic injury cases require a different level of representation. The stakes are higher, the damages are greater, and the insurance companies fight harder to minimize payouts. You need an attorney with the experience, resources, and determination to handle these complex, high-value claims.
Robert Zermeno has the litigation experience to take on catastrophic injury cases. He works with medical experts, life care planners, economists, and other specialists to document the full extent of your injuries and build a case for maximum compensation.
Types of catastrophic injuries we handle
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Severe burns
- Amputations and limb loss
- Multiple fractures and orthopedic injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Permanent disfigurement
Why these cases are different
Catastrophic injuries often require lifelong medical care, adaptive equipment, home modifications, and ongoing assistance. Future damages must be carefully calculated to ensure you have the resources you need—not just today, but for the rest of your life. Robert works with experts to project these costs accurately and fight for full compensation.
