Personal Injury Attorney
Auto accident litigation
Catastrophic injury litigation
Dog bite injury litigation
Dog bites and other animal attacks can have serious consequences. Victims of these attacks often require multiple invasive surgical procedures before their wounds can heal, and many are left with permanent scarring and disfigurement, as well as substantial psychological harm. Dogs are powerful and potentially dangerous animals — whether or not they belong to breeds that are popularly regarded as vicious. Dog owners have a responsibility to train their dogs and take all other reasonable measures to protect the general public from dog attacks. Our firm has a track record of pursuing personal injury claims against dog owners and obtaining compensation for the long-term injuries suffered by dog bite victims. In California, homeowners insurance policies cover dog bites — including those taking place away from the covered property — unless they are specifically excluded. Our attorneys have the insurance experience to identify whether insurance coverage is available in your case.

Brain Injuries
Any type of accident — such as a concussion from a car accident or a bicycle accident — can result in a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Over the years, we have helped brain injury victims recover millions of dollars for their injuries. We work with a wide network of medical professionals when developing our clients’ cases. Once we understand the effect a brain injury will have on our clients’ lives, we pursue compensation for the full nature and extent of their injuries. Many TBI victims are given limited medical treatment before being told they have hit a “plateau” and will not likely improve. At Hiepler & Hiepler, we fight to get our clients the medical treatments they need to really heal after a brain injury. Our attorneys have successfully handled injury claims for clients suffering from a wide range of TBIs, including: brain stem injuries, frontal lobe injuries, cerebellum injuries, closed head traumas, and skull fractures.
Burn Injuries
Third-degree burns and other severe burns can have serious consequences, including intense pain and suffering, permanent scarring and disfigurement, and the need for amputation. At Hiepler & Hiepler, our attorneys help burn victims in California and beyond pursue personal injury claims. We have handled cases on behalf of clients who have been burned in all types of circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following: Explosions caused by vehicle collisions, car fires caused by defective fuel lines, electrical accidents on construction sites, exposure to corrosive chemicals, and fires in apartment buildings and hotels. When pursuing a personal injury claim for any serious injury, it is important to work with a law firm that has the resources to investigate your case and pursue the full compensation you deserve. Our firm has a strong track record of getting substantial results in burn injury cases.
Business Policy Claims
At the Hiepler & Hiepler, our attorneys are prepared to help businesses negotiate with their insurance companies and take them to court for all types of policies. Property insurance: If your insurance company has denied your claim for remediation or attempted to retroactively cancel your policy after a fire, water damage or any other event on your business premises, our firm will diligently pursue the results you deserve. Liability insurance: If your business has been sued on a product liability, premises liability, professional liability or employment claim and your insurance company has refused to defend the claim or cover your potential losses, our attorneys will protect your interests. Our firm’s extensive background in insurance law and insurance claim denial litigation puts us in a strong position to act on behalf of businesses, business owners and professionals who have been put in financial peril by the illegitimate and and bad-faith actions of their insurance companies.
Cervical Injuries
Compensation For Long-Term Medical Needs
One of the things that many injury victims — and, unfortunately, their lawyers in many cases — do not consider is the long-term impact of their injuries. There are many personal injury law firms that can help you obtain compensation for the medical costs associated with your injuries and some damage awards for pain and suffering. However, the injuries you have suffered could have an impact on you for the rest of your life. When you are seeking compensation, make sure you work with a legal team that can help you obtain compensation for the complete long-term costs of your injuries and can help you with every aspect of your personal injury claim. At Hiepler & Hiepler, one of the first things we do with new clients is help them obtain comprehensive medical evaluations. This includes life care experts who can determine the long-ranging care needs and provide accurate estimates of the long-term costs of injuries over an entire lifetime to help ensure just compensation for life.

Insurance Bad Faith
Although insurance companies are supposed to pay your claim, sometimes they do not. When an insurance company unreasonably denies or refuses to cover your claim this may be what is called “bad faith.” Attorney Mark Hiepler’s prominence in the area of bad faith lawsuits was established in 1994. He is known for his personal battles with insurance companies stemming from his 1994 $89.3-million verdict against Health Net over a bone marrow transplant for his sister in the Fox v. Health Net case. This $89.3-million verdict includes $77 million in punitive damages and is one of the largest verdicts ever levied against an American health insurer. In Mark Hiepler’s crusade against insurers, he has received extensive media coverage. He has appeared on dozens of radio and television shows, including “Oprah”, “20/20”, “Nightline” and “60 Minutes” and his cases have been written about in TIME, Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal.
Insurance Bad Faith Claims
Insurance Claim Denials
Life Insurance Claims
If you have lost a loved one, you may be relying on his or her life insurance policy to meet your financial needs during this period of grief and loss. If the insurance company is refusing to pay out on that policy, you need a legal advocate who is prepared to stand up for your rights. Almost all life insurance contracts contain a noncontestability clause specifying that the insurance company cannot rescind the policy or contest a claim after the first two years. Unfortunately, insurance companies often try to get around noncontestability by delaying the effective date of the policy so they can claim that the application was fraudulent, that the applicant failed to disclose something or that the applicant died from a pre-existing condition. This approach is known as post-claims underwriting, and it is an unethical practice that is very often in breach of the insurance contract. Our attorneys are prepared to take your insurance company to court, to stop them from denying your claim.
Long-Term Care Insurance Claims
Long-term care insurance is an integral part of many people’s elder care planning. People who take out long-term care policies do so with the understanding that their care will be paid for and their assets will be protected in the event that they need in-home or nursing home care. There are a number of reasons why a long-term care claim might be denied. The insurance company may claim that the policy does not cover everything the salesperson said it would cover (for instance, in-home care) or that some information was missing on the application. At Hiepler & Hiepler, we believe that when you pay a long-term care insurance premium, you deserve to receive the benefits you were promised when the policy was sold to you. We will carefully investigate the facts of your case — reviewing any notes from the sales meeting, the sales agreement, the contract and the circumstances of the denial — to identify ways to hold the insurance company legally accountable and get you the results you deserve.

Post-Claims Underwriting And Rescission
If you believe you have had claims denied or your insurance coverage canceled/rescinded on the basis of a misrepresentation or omission on your application for insurance, this may be due to post-claim underwriting. Even though you may have diligently paid premiums and even been issued a policy of insurance, your peace of mind may still be destroyed after submitting a claim and being told by your insurance company that your policy of insurance is being cancelled retroactively. This is a result of insurance companies engaging in “post-claim underwriting.” Insurance companies are obligated to make reasonable and diligent attempts to research and confirm the accuracy of information contained on an application for insurance before a policy is issued, not after a loss, and in turn after significant bills, have already been incurred or a claim has been submitted — at a time when you need coverage the most. Hiepler & Hiepler can assist you to overcome these dirty insurance company tactics.
Rear-End Accidents
Retinopathy of Prematurity
Mark Hiepler has the largest verdict in the nation in a case involving retinopathy of prematurity. It is the only trial verdict in this area of the law in more than 15 years. The firm has settled numerous cases across the nation and is recognized as having special knowledge in evaluating these cases and helping children who are blind for life. If your child is blind or has severe vision loss, you may be eligible to recover compensation for your baby’s injuries. A highly skilled and experienced birth injury lawyer can thoroughly investigate your case, review medical records and question the hospital staff in order to get to the bottom of your case. If your attorney proves that ROP developed because of medical negligence, you can recover damages for your baby’s suffering, medical expenses, the lifelong treatment he or she will need and the money you will spend over the course of your baby’s life to care for his or her condition.
Serious Injury Cases
Sideswipe Accidents
Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries are not only debilitating and catastrophic, they are also extremely expensive. Many spinal cord injury sufferers seek compensation for the pain and suffering and the immediate medical costs involved, but this often falls far short of the total costs associated with these injuries over the long term. At Hiepler & Hiepler, one of the most important services we emphasize is helping our clients get a full understanding of the total long-term costs that their injuries will create. This gives our clients knowledge about how to plan for the future, and it helps us establish the full damages in court, increasing the compensation our clients receive.

Wrongful Death
Insurance companies don’t care about your loss or how you will support your family. They have one goal: settling your claim for as little as possible. Don’t agree to a settlement before speaking with an attorney. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of families who have lost loved ones in fatal accidents. We have experienced similar tragedies in our own lives and know how difficult it can be to stand up to insurance companies and enforce your rights. Our attorneys are committed to helping our clients get the financial resources they need to begin rebuilding their lives after a death. We help clients get compensation both for their emotional grief, and loss of love, care and affection as well as their economic losses. While it is impossible to place a value on a human life, there are ways to determine the financial impact a loved one’s death has on his or her family. This is not just a business, this is our life’s passion.

They did not take my case, but I’ve never met a more professional and caring group of lawyers. They walked me through every step that I need to take on my legal journey and made sure that I understood every aspect (strong and weak points) of my case. Best of all they did not charge me a cent for all of this time!

Super helpful in a time of need. The whole process was so much easier and streamlined than I thought it would be based on my past experience with other firms. Everyone was so kind throughout the whole Intake process and even though they did not take my case, I came away with so much valuable information in a short period of time and now know how to go about solving my problem. They did not charge me for their time and effort which was awesome as well.

I was in a catastrophic bicycle versus truck accident in Santa Barbara County. My wife and I had numerous knowledgeable people refer us to Mark Hiepler and the Law Offices of Hiepler and Hiepler due to his knowledge, experience, and actual trials involving bike accidents. His experience proved helpful to us in not only handling the case but helping us ensure I was getting the best rehabilitation, care, surgical care, and he prepared my wife and I for the process of the law suit. We are grateful for the referral, the outcome, and the professional and friendship relationship that we hope to continue with he and his excellent team.
