Personal Injury

Orange County Car / Airplane Crash Personal Injury Lawyer

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you may face a long road to recovery.  Often, the injured person needs months of physical therapy simply to regain the use of damaged limbs.  Or in some other unfortunate situations, the patient may never fully recover. In either case, you have to deal with the insurance claims process, medical bills and maybe even the court system.  It's a lot to handle. Fortunately, you don't have to face all this on your own. Contact the Law Offices of Werno & Associates today to find out how we can serve you.

In addition to car accident matters, we have helped our client's recover millions of dollars in compensation for their injuries suffered as a result of:

  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Accidents involving commercial vehicles
  • Boat accidents
  • Airplane accidents/li>
  • Helicopter accidents
  • Glider, Paraglider and Ultralite accidents
  • Product liability
  • Wrongful death

Before becoming a lawyer, attorney Werno worked in law enforcement and assisted in car accident investigations.  As a result, he is familiar with the critical details that identify not only what happened, but also who is culpable and he uses that knowledge to assist our clients in obtaining the maximum recovery possible.

Aviation accidents -- our unique perspective

Attorney Don Werno has almost three decades of aviation experience, which has helped him successfully represent pilots and passengers in aircraft crash cases and in the regulatory violation process.  He holds the Federal Aviation Administration Certificates of Gold Seal Single and Multi-Engine Aircraft Flight Instructor and Commercial Pilot with Instrument Airplane Privileges.  Mr. Werno has also flown helicopters and has used his experience to train hundreds of pilots, including pilots who fly Search and Rescue missions.  With more than 2,000 hours of actual flight experience, including flying search and rescue missions as an aircraft commander, we know aviation and aviation disaster.

Lawyer Don Werno formerly worked with the National Transportation Safety Board and has been personally involved in aircraft crash investigations involving fixed wing airplanes, experimental aircraft and helicopters.  He has worked on a diverse range of accidents, including the analysis of material failure and the interpretation of aircraft digital flight data recorder information.  He also co-developed and co-taught a joint NTSB and FAA seminar titled "Anatomy of an Aircraft Accident: Certified Flight Instructor Responsibilities and Liabilities," which examined the human factors involved in an actual fatal aircraft accident.

In addition to his hands on, real world aviation experience, Attorney Don Werno has also completed specialized coursework at the University of Southern California (USC) - Institute of Systems and Safety Management in the area of Aircraft Accident Investigation and Aircraft Crash Litigation.  He is also the past president of the Orange County Bar Association Aviation Law Section.

At the Law Offices of Werno & Associates, we are proud of the service we give our clients.  We offer a free initial consultation, and evening and weekend appointments to accommodate your schedule. If you cannot come to our offices due to a medical condition, we offer home and hospital visits.  A retainer deposit is not always required and in some instances, such as personal injury matters, we will work on a contingency, which means that we get paid only after we win your case.
