Liability in a personal injury case is rarely straightforward, even when the facts seem obvious. Insurance adjusters and corporations can look for reasons to shift blame, dispute the severity of an injury, delay payment, or deny it altogether. Without pushback, those tactics can be effective at wearing down injury victims. A Valencia personal injury attorney can review the evidence, hold responsible parties accountable, and negotiate from a position backed by disciplined trial preparation. That same commitment guides every case Greene Broillet & Wheeler takes on, from investigation and filing suit through discovery, negotiation, and, when necessary, trial.
We have spent more than five decades representing injured individuals and families throughout the Santa Clarita Valley, taking on insurance companies and their well-funded attorneys. We have the experience and resources to pursue justice in even the most complex cases against the most formidable opponents. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, please contact us today at (866) 634-4525. You may be entitled to compensation even if you are found partially at-fault for the accident.
Selecting the right law firm after an accident can shape the outcome of a claim from the very first phone call. Insurance companies evaluate legal representation carefully, and a firm with a proven trial record often impacts a case’s final resolution. When you search for a Valencia personal injury attorney, look for a firm prepared to take a case to trial.

The results Greene Broillet & Wheeler has secured are a testament to our approach. For instance, in Sanchez v. County of San Bernardino, a jury awarded $36.1 million after a young girl was struck near an unreported dangerous intersection. In Pascua/White v. Industrial Asphalt, a chain collision caused by an improperly serviced asphalt truck led to a $14.4 million verdict after a nephrology surgeon suffered brain damage and lost her husband and mother. In another case, the firm recovered $32.5 million for a passenger who suffered catastrophic intestinal injuries. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes, but each reflects the preparation behind every case the firm takes on.

I had a great experience working with this firm. The team was professional, responsive, and very helpful throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer all of my questions, explain each step clearly (especially one of their paralegals Hannah who was awesome to work with). Everyone I interacted with was knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely cared about helping. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a team they can trust.

Evidence at an accident scene can disappear within hours, and insurance adjusters move quickly to gather statements designed to favor them. To counter these challenges, a Valencia personal injury attorney can step in early to preserve evidence and protect a claim from the outset.
Our team may be able to help with:
Each case has specific details and unique facts. No two cases are identical, but the goal remains the same: to build a claim strong enough to withstand scrutiny from insurance companies and their attorneys.

Serious injuries in Valencia can happen in a wide range of circumstances, and identifying an appropriate legal strategy early often shapes how a claim proceeds. Greene Broillet & Wheeler handles nearly all types of injury cases, including but not limited to:
Car accidents remain among the most common sources of serious injury in the Santa Clarita Valley. Nearly constant traffic along corridors such as the Interstate 5 and Highway 126 interchange and Valencia Boulevard creates innumerable conditions for accidents. Distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield frequently cause collisions, leaving victims with fractures, head trauma, spinal injuries, burns, or worse.
Liability often depends on evidence gathered quickly after the crash. This car accident evidence may include surveillance footage, witness statements, and vehicle damage analysis. California follows a comparative fault framework, so an injured person may still recover compensation even when partly at fault. A Valencia personal injury attorney creates a strategy based on the facts of the case that will most benefit their client. This approach is always vital but particularly important when the vehicles involved are of radically different sizes. Often, these types of crashes lead to life-altering injuries.
Commercial trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians share the same roadways as passenger vehicles, and a collision involving any of these often results in catastrophic harm. Truck accidents frequently involve violations of the hours-of-service rules set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which limit how long a commercial driver may remain behind the wheel without required rest. These violations can lead to massive trucks colliding with other vehicles at full speed if truck operators are distracted or have fallen asleep at the wheel.
Additionally, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians face a heightened risk of severe injury because they lack the protection a vehicle frame provides. Our Valencia personal injury attorneys can investigate driver conduct, roadway conditions, and vehicle maintenance records to determine why a crash occurred and who is legally responsible for the resulting harm. In particularly serious motor vehicle crashes, experienced legal representation is crucial, as the stakes may be very high and fair compensation may be substantial. Our Valencia personal injury attorneys are prepared for any type of vehicle crash case, but we also know that, while automobile crashes are extremely common in and around Valencia, not every injury occurs in a vehicle.
Property owners in California owe a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions, and a failure to repair hazards or warn visitors can lead to a slip and fall claim. Dog bite cases often involve strict liability, meaning an owner may be held responsible for injuries regardless of the animal’s prior history. When a property owner or animal owner fails to protect others, we can pursue justice and compensation for injured victims. While slip and fall cases and dog bite cases aren’t as frequently fatal, they can be. We are prepared for such cases, as well as those that are more likely to lead to wrongful death claims.
When an accident proves fatal, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim to recover both financial and personal losses. Car accidents, workplace fatalities, defective product cases…we are prepared. Additionally, catastrophic injuries can also lead to the need for substantial compensation for victims and their families. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and severe burns often require lifelong medical care and affect a victim’s independence and quality of life. Our team takes time to get to know each family to accurately present the full scope of their losses. Whatever the cause, a case ultimately turns on what it has cost a family, whether through wrongful death or catastrophic injury.
California law allows injured individuals to pursue compensation for the losses that result from their injuries. The value of a claim depends on the severity of the injury, the strength of the liability evidence, and the long-term impact on a victim’s life and finances.
Compensation in a personal injury case may include:
Non-economic losses often prove the hardest to quantify, since no dollar figure can capture what it means to lose mobility or independence. Our team takes time to understand how an injury has reshaped a client’s daily life before presenting a demand.
Every personal injury claim moves through several recognizable stages. Understanding this process helps injured individuals make informed decisions from the outset. At Greene Broillet & Wheeler, our Valencia personal injury attorneys can guide clients through each phase:
Throughout each stage, our team manages the documentation a case requires and keeps clients informed with clear communication.
“People just want direction and a better understanding of what can be done for them or their families.”

A Valencia personal injury attorney investigates an accident, identifies liable parties, and pursues compensation on behalf of an injured client. This work includes gathering evidence, negotiating with insurance companies, and, when necessary, litigating a case through trial to secure a fair outcome.
Most personal injury attorneys, including Greene Broillet & Wheeler, work on a contingency fee basis, so clients pay nothing upfront. Attorney fees are based on a percentage of the final settlement or verdict, which means injured individuals can pursue legal representation without added financial strain during recovery.
Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1, injured individuals generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Certain exceptions may shorten or extend this deadline, including claims involving government entities or injuries discovered after the accident occurred. A Valencia personal injury attorney can confirm the deadline for a specific case and help ensure it is not missed.
