Hartunian Law Firm, A Professional Corporation (A.P.C.)

“We prepare every California case for trial so insurers pay full value or face a jury.”
If you were injured in Los Angeles County, Riverside County, or anywhere across Southern California, you need a local personal injury attorney who understands the courts, the judges, and the insurance companies’ strategies.
At Hartunian Law Firm, we proudly represent accident and injury victims throughout the Inland Empire, Coachella Valley, and Greater Los Angeles.
Our team combines aggressive litigation, fast evidence preservation, and trial-ready preparation to ensure every client gets maximum compensation.
How We Investigate And Build Your Case
Rapid Intake & Medical Coordination: We act quickly to document your injuries, schedule evaluations, and connect you with trusted medical specialists. We can also help with transportation, imaging, and therapy coordination.
Police & Agency Records: We obtain reports from local agencies such as the San Bernardino Police Department, Riverside Sheriff’s Department, and CHP Inland Division for incidents on I-10, I-15, I-215, SR-210, SR-60, and SR-111. We also request 911 recordings, body-cam footage, and city surveillance to strengthen your case.
Scene & Video Preservation: We send preservation letters to businesses, apartment complexes, and public agencies to secure security footage and evidence from the scene. We canvass nearby corridors such as Hospitality Lane, Foothill Boulevard, and Bear Valley Road to locate witnesses and recordings.
Liability & Reconstruction Proof: We partner with accident reconstruction specialists, trucking safety experts, and engineers to prove negligence. Our team retrieves black box data, vehicle diagnostics, and maintenance logs when necessary.
Full Value Demand: We calculate lost wages, long-term medical costs, pain and suffering, and future care, then present a settlement demand that reflects your case’s full value.
If the insurer refuses to pay what’s fair — we take them to court.

Where Palm Desert Cases Are Filed
Most serious injury cases in the Coachella Valley are filed at the Indio Larson Justice Center, located just minutes from downtown Palm Desert. Depending on where the accident happened and who was involved, other venues may include Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Coachella, La Quinta, Indio, and Desert Hot Springs.
At Hartunian Law Firm, we manage e-filing, early discovery, mediation, and mandatory settlement conferences under local court procedures to keep your case moving quickly and efficiently.
What To Do After An Injury In Palm Desert
1. Call 911 and seek immediate medical care. Tell your doctor or ER provider about every symptom, even minor ones.
2. Report and document everything. Get a police report number and photograph the vehicles, road conditions, license plates, and visible injuries.
3. Avoid discussing fault. Exchange information only — do not admit blame or speculate.
4. Contact a local attorney early. Prompt legal help prevents costly mistakes with insurance companies and preserves crucial evidence.
Evidence We Move Fast To Secure
Traffic collision reports, 911 recordings, and dispatch logs
Surveillance footage from businesses, apartment complexes, and Ring/dash cams
Truck ELD and telematics data, forklift or warehouse reports (for commercial cases)
Maintenance records for stores, complexes, and public properties
Payroll and HR records for lost wage verification
Medical imaging, provider notes, and treatment plans to document long-term care needs
Our team moves fast to secure critical evidence before it disappears, strengthening your claim and maximizing your recovery.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
Insurance companies often delay, deny, or downplay claims — especially in serious injury cases.
At Hartunian Law Firm, we take over all communication with adjusters, prepare every case as if it’s going to trial, and negotiate from a position of strength. If liability is shared, we apply California’s comparative negligence laws to ensure you recover the maximum possible compensation.
Palm Desert Practice Areas
Where will my lawsuit be filed?
Most Palm Desert and Coachella Valley personal injury cases are filed at the Indio Larson Justice Center. Depending on the city and parties involved, other venues may include Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Coachella, La Quinta, Indio, or Desert Hot Springs. Our team handles e-filing, discovery, and settlement conferences to ensure your case moves quickly.
What if I was partly at fault?
California follows comparative negligence law, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your recovery amount is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys know how to minimize that percentage and protect the value of your claim.
Do I need a lawyer near me or near the courthouse?
It’s best to work with a local trial team familiar with Riverside County judges, venue rules, and local insurance adjusters. Our proximity allows faster evidence collection from area businesses, apartments, public agencies, and surveillance sources, which strengthens your case.
How do fees work?
At Hartunian Law Firm, you pay nothing unless we win. Our contingency fee covers all upfront costs — including filing, investigation, and expert witnesses. You owe absolutely nothing unless we recover money for you.
