The Law Offices of Susan Kang Gordon in Orinda, CA

Under California law, owners and operators of property are required to take reasonable care to ensure that people entering and using their property are protected from harm. The law protects invitees, licensees, and trespassers. Proper measures include, but are not limited to, maintaining roads and sidewalks, taking proper security measures, and providing proper lighting. If a danger is known to them, they may be required to provide warnings of the dangerous condition. The duty of owners and operators is non-delegable.

Our firm has significant experience litigating claims against public and private entities.

Despite misconceptions, premises liability cases can be difficult and tricky. The wrong approach to the issue could cost the victim their case. Our attorneys work with each client in understanding and thinking through the liability so they have the best chance at success.

Why Choose Us?

We are trial lawyers with a proven track record of recovering millions of dollars for our clients. In addition, we have obtained Court Orders to have an independent monitor oversee the care of our elderly residents in nursing homes.

Our Recent Cases

$13.5 Million Verdict

10 elderly residents sued a nursing home for the neglect and abuse suffered at the hands of the operators. They alleged the failure to provide proper care for fall prevention, wounds, nutrition and hydration and medication management.

$6 Million Fee Award

For the cases which go to trial, we will always seek attorney’s fees directly from the defendant so that you do not have to pay us any fees from your award. In other words, we ask the Court to order the defendants to pay us our hourly fees. Fee awards are not granted for cases that result in a private settlement.

Susan did an amazing job representing our family in a complex and emotionally challenging legal matter. Susan was in it for the long haul, becoming both a trusted advisor and a voice of compassion throughout the process. Susan and her team always brought professionalism, empathy, dedication and skill to our case. She achieved a very positive outcome for us, and we couldn't have been happier with her representation. I would absolutely recommend her and SKG Law.
