About
Mike Yepp is a Los Angeles personal injury trial lawyer who is known for representing clients in catastrophic injury, traumatic brain injury, dangerous condition of public property, products liability, and wrongful death cases throughout California. A graduate of Northwestern Law, one of the nation’s top law schools, Mike began his career in Big Law before serving as a lead trial lawyer for the City of Los Angeles.
Mike has recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for clients, often taking on large corporations, public entities, and national insurance companies. He regularly litigates cases involving severe orthopedic and neurological trauma—life-changing injuries that require expert-driven, trial-ready representation.
Car & Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
Car and motor vehicle collisions often cause severe orthopedic, neurological, and brain injuries that require immediate investigation and expert analysis. I represent drivers, passengers, and rideshare victims injured because of another driver’s negligence. My approach focuses on proving liability early and tracking a strong medical foundation to maximize recovery.
Wrongful Death & Fatal Injury Claims
Families who lose a loved one due to negligence face overwhelming emotional and financial burdens. I handle wrongful death cases with focused attention on uncovering the truth, proving causation, and holding all responsible parties fully accountable. These cases require immediate action and meticulous preparation to secure justice for the family.
Dangerous & Defective Product Injuries
Dangerous and defective products can cause catastrophic injuries when manufacturers cut corners in design, testing, or warnings. I pursue claims against manufacturers, distributors, and retailers whose unsafe products injure consumers. These cases demand deep investigation, expert evaluation, and aggressive litigation to uncover design flaws and industry violations.
Pedestrian & Crosswalk Injury Cases
Pedestrians are completely unprotected in a collision and often suffer life-changing injuries as a result. I represent individuals hit in crosswalks, sidewalks, parking lots, and roadways due to careless or distracted drivers. These cases require rapid preservation of evidence, collision reconstruction, and medical analysis to establish full liability.
Practice Areas
Slip, Trip & Fall / Premises Liability Injuries
Hazardous conditions on private or public property—such as uneven walkways, spills, poor lighting, or unmarked changes in elevation—can cause severe injuries. I investigate premises liability cases by identifying code violations, dangerous conditions, and failures in maintenance or safety protocols. Property owners must be held accountable when preventable hazards injure visitors.
Catastrophic & Life-Changing Injuries
Catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, severe orthopedic trauma, and permanent disabilities require a lawyer with trial experience and deep expert involvement. I focus on building comprehensive medical, vocational, and economic evidence to capture the full lifetime impact of these injuries. These cases demand aggressive preparation and a trial-ready approach from the outset.
