Injured after
an accident?
Your buddy has
your back!
You've got enough going on. We take the insurance company off your plate and go after what your case is actually worth. Free consultation, and no fee unless we recover for you.
REAL LAWYERS.
REAL PEOPLE.
ZERO BULL.
Getting hurt is disorienting. Within days you're fielding calls from an adjuster who sounds friendly, signing forms you didn't read, and getting bills for treatment you didn't ask to need. Most people have never done this before. The insurance company does it ten thousand times a year.
Injured Buddy exists to close that gap.
We're a small California personal injury firm built around a simple idea: you should be able to reach your lawyer, understand what's happening, and never wonder where your case stands. We take a limited number of cases so that each one gets real attention — not a file number and a form letter.
We handle the adjusters, the records, the liens, and the deadlines. If the insurer won't be reasonable, we file. Our clients focus on healing. We handle the rest.
Injured Buddy is the personal injury practice of Katz Law, APC, a plaintiff-side firm based in Woodland Hills serving clients throughout Los Angeles County and Southern California.

WE HANDLE CLAIMS INVOLVING EVERY MAJOR INSURER
Adjusters do this all day, every day. So do we.
Insurance company names are used only to identify the carriers whose claims we handle. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any insurance company.
YOU MAY HAVE A CASE IF
It happened within the last two years.
California injury deadlines are strict — and if a government entity is involved, you may have as little as six months.
Someone else was at least partly at fault.
You can still recover even if you were partly responsible. California reduces your recovery by your share of fault — it doesn't erase it.
You were hurt, even if it didn't seem serious at first.
Soft tissue injuries and concussions often show up days later. Get checked.
An adjuster has already called you.
That's the moment to talk to a lawyer — before you give a recorded statement or sign anything.
STUFF PEOPLE ACTUALLY ASK US
Nothing up front. We work on contingency basis, which means our fee comes out of the total we recover for you. If we don't recover anything for you, you owe us no attorney fee. We are buddies; we only "win" if you do. If we do, our fee is spelled out in a written agreement before we start. Case costs like filing fees and records requests are advanced by us and may be reimbursed out of the recovery.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT
Three quick steps. No cost, no pressure, no obligation. An attorney reviews every submission.
