Neil Krupnick & Associates - Hard-edged Compassion for Clients

Hopefully, you will never have to experience the pain of a substantial injury, the medical expenses that accompany such a trauma, or the loss of income which you may incur because of a serious collision caused by the negligence of another. Heaven forbid that you should ever be a member of the surviving family, faced with the loss of a parent, spouse or sibling, due to someone's careless disregard for the safety of others.  These are only a few of the complex legal and moral issues that Westlake Village attorneys, Neil Krupnick & Associates, contends with on a daily basis. "Who" is at fault? "How" did the collision occur? "What" is an appropriate value of the case? More and more individuals are turning to Neil Krupnick & Associates to represent them because of their experience in grappling with these questions.
Acknowledged by the California Trial Lawyer's Association with the coveted ''Recognition of Experience Certificate" as a specialist in the field of personal injury, Neil Krupnick & Associates (NKA) are recognized among the best in their field. They also hold memberships in the Los Angeles and American Trial Lawyers Associations, the Ventura County Bar Association, Neil has sat on the Bench as a Judge Pro Tem. Since graduating from the University of San Diego, School of Law, and moving to Westlake Village in 1974 with his wife, Claudia, Neil Krupnick has earned a solid reputation as an astute and tough litigator, who approaches his work with a hard-edged compassion for his clients. NKA has earned the respect of colleagues and opponents alike who have learned to never be surprised by the thoroughly professional case preparation they bring to court. This includes the time and effort involved in finding and securing the services of some of the nation's foremost experts in their own respective fields to testify on his clients' behalf. Representing clients who have suffered significant injuries as a result of an automobile or motorcycle collision typically results in far-reaching consequences. NKA often times finds themself in the position of having to negotiate for the future well-being of the client's physical and medical condition together with that individual's past loss of earnings and future earning capacity. Thus, they believe that they are really fighting for the future well-being of the client's family. The psychological damage to the family that is caused by the loss of life or the incapacitation of a spouse or child is incalculable, but NKA believe that the laws of the State of California were developed to protect and compensate victims and their families from wrongful and negligent acts of others. "Fortunately, our society does not subscribe to the philosophy of an 'eye for an eye' and people should receive a fair dollar amount which is consistent with the nature and extent of their injury," so says Krupnick. "Our clients should not be rewarded for having been involved in a collision, but they are entitled to reasonable compensation.''
Because NKA has elected to limit their practice to substantial personal injury cases and those which oftentimes result in the death of an individual, they realize that family members are often devastated by these tragic circumstances; the surviving spouses and children must be helped. Neil Krupnick acknowledges that ''in these types of substantial personal injury cases, we deal with some of the toughest and brightest defense attorneys in the State of California.''

NKA begins it's second 20 years of practice continuing with the same level of integrity and moral responsibility that this challenging field of law demands. "Westlake Village has developed into a sophisticated business community over the past several years,'' says Krupnick,''and I am proud to be an integral part of its growth."
