- DUI/DWIThere is no question that driving while drunk is negligent and irresponsible. When a drunk driver causes an accident, the injuries suffered by the victims are often catastrophic, and may require years, if not a lifetime, of medical care. At Meyers Burnett, our Huntington Beach drunk driving accident lawyers will work hard to get you the full and fair compensation you need in order to move forward with your life.
- Wrongful DeathWhen a loved one dies in a fatal accident, the emotional pain and loss is overwhelming. It can be even more difficult to bear when the accident was the result of another person’s negligence and reckless behavior. In addition to the emotional loss, the death of a loved one can have a serious impact on a household’s financial situation as well. At Meyers Burnett, our Huntington Beach wrongful death attorneys provide caring and compassionate representation for family members who have lost a loved one in an accident.
- Traffic Violations
- Hit and RunBicycle accidents often present legal challenges because they tend to be hit-and-run accidents. Sometimes a bicyclist is forced off the road — but offending drivers of cars or trucks leave the scenes of accidents without actually colliding with the bicycles, and perhaps without even being aware that they have caused bicycle accidents. Uninsured and underinsured motorists may be involved. Public entities such as municipal, county or state government bodies may be liable if poor conditions in road construction zones are determined to be a factor.

- Personal InjuryMeyers Burnett is a well-established Huntington Beach personal injury law firm that has evolved from our first attorney’s career handling insurance defense on behalf of a major insurer.

Today, Mark Burnett and Mark J. Meyers work solely for plaintiffs: individuals who have been injured or lost loved ones in accidents involving negligence of other parties.
- Auto Accidents
- Dog BitesMr. Meyers got his first taste of the courtroom while working as a bailiff for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department while he put himself through law school. In 1976, he began his legal career as an associate attorney at Moore, Graves & Madory where he practiced insurance defense for Farmers Insurance and focused his practice on auto accidents, premises liability, dog bites, construction accidents, and wrongful death actions. After several years, Mr. Meyers and two of his work associates opened Cummings, Kemp & Meyers where he continued to practice insurance defense and was able to represent plaintiff’s in personal injury actions. After leaving CK&M, he became a solo practitioner and has represented exclusively Plaintiffs as a trial lawyer throughout California for the past 26 years.
- Slip and Fall InjuryWe often call ourselves “first responders,” as we tend to urgent, immediate legal matters after a car accident or slip-and-fall injury. At the scene of an accident, you may have called 911 and received help from police, firefighters and ambulance personnel. A skillful lawyer is also a critical contributor in an accidental injury victim’s recovery — and the sooner you have an attorney, the more options there will be to recover compensation.
- WillsYou may be considering contacting a general practice lawyer whom you have worked with in the past on other legal matters: perhaps for a business startup, a family law matter, a real estate closing, or wills and trusts. Familiarity with your lawyer can be a good thing at a stressful time — but stakes are high after a serious or catastrophic injury. The lawyer who represents you should be well-versed in the laws and processes that apply in your case. You owe it to yourself to entrust your personal injury case to Huntington Beach personal injury lawyers whose law practice is focused on accident claims similar to yours.
