Firm Summary

Mr. Young began representing seriously injured persons in 1997. Since that time, Mr. Young has worked on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants, so he has experience working with the “other side,” which he feels gives him a unique perspective on how to best represent injured person.

Over his years of practice, Mr. Young has developed a strong background in civil litigation and jury trials. He also has had several appellate successes. For example, in 2005, Mr. Young argued a significant premises liability case before the California Supreme Court, Delgado v. Trax Bar & Grill (2005) 36 Cal.4th 224. In that case, Mr. Young’s client had been seriously injured in the parking lot of a bar by a group of assailants. The Delgado decision established that a business owner has a duty to take certain steps to protect its patrons from harm, including assaults by other patrons.

Prior to Delgado, Mr. Young won an appeal in another premises liability case, Mata v. Mata (2003) 105 Cal.App.4th 1121, which involved an innocent bystander who was shot by an assailant in a bar. The Court in Mata held the bar responsible due to negligent security allowing the gunman into the bar after he had previously been “86’d” from the bar.
