With school starting soon, it is important that drivers remain vigilant, particularly in school zones, and be on the lookout for kids who might be on their way to school or are returning home.

Drivers can do the best in the simplest ways: easing off the gas in school zones, coming to a full stop at crosswalks, looking twice before a right on red.

Slow down, stay alert, and help make every trip to and from school a safer one.

Property owners have a responsibility to address dangerous conditions or warn people about them. When they don't, serious injuries can happen and serious liability could be the result.

At Rouda Feder Tietjen & McGuinn, we represent people injured because a property wasn't kept reasonably safe, including slip-and-fall and negligent security cases. Every case comes down to the same question: Did the property owner take reasonable steps to prevent someone from getting hurt?

If you've been injured on someone else's property, it may be worth speaking with an attorney to better understand your rights.

Not every medical complication is malpractice. Even when doctors do everything right, some treatments and procedures carry risks that can't be avoided.

Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and a patient is seriously harmed as a result.

If you're left wondering whether what happened was preventable, don't assume you have to figure it out on your own. An experienced attorney can review the medical records, consult with experts, and help determine whether negligence played a role.

If your family was affected by the January 2025 wildfires, now is the time to stay informed.

Lawmakers and regulators are continuing to shape how California will handle wildfire recovery through proposals like SB 254, and the decisions being made could affect how survivors are compensated going forward.

Our Wildfire Litigation team, led by Director of Wildfire Litigation Bradford Bowen and Attorney Em Feder Cooper, is advocating for Eaton Fire survivors and closely following these developments to protect our clients' interests.

The conversation isn't over, and neither is the fight for full recovery. We'll continue keeping Eaton Fire survivors informed and advocating for the compensation they deserve.

Southern California Edison was responsible for the 2025 Eaton Fire in Cal Fire's recently released report, with its findings pointing to Southern California Edison’s serious safety violations, including potential criminal conduct, as well as troubling questions about its cooperation with investigators.

Director of Wildfire Litigation Bradford Bowen remarked: “This report concludes what we already knew: the Eaton Fire was sparked by a foreseeable electrical event at Southern California Edison's transmission towers.” As a result of SoCal Edison’s decision to leave damaged equipment exposed and unfixed for over a year, 18 people were killed, over 9,400 structures were damaged, and over 14,000 acres burned, making it the fifth-deadliest and second-most-destructive wildfire in California history.

August is National Traffic Awareness Month, and there's no better place to remember that than the Bay Area. Busy roads, heavy traffic, cyclists, pedestrians, and commuters all share the same space every day.

The safest drivers are the ones who stay alert, put the phone away, and make decisions that give everyone a better chance of getting home safely.

A little extra patience behind the wheel can go a long way. Let's all do our part to keep our roads safer.
