Editorial Policy

Every substantive legal page on this website is written or reviewed by an attorney licensed to practice in California. Steven Bash is responsible for the legal accuracy of the practice area pages, location pages, and articles published here.

Where a page is drafted with research assistance — including software-assisted drafting of local data summaries such as intersection or crash reports — an attorney reviews the page before it is published. No page is published without human review.

Statements of law cite the underlying authority wherever practical: the California Codes (for example Code of Civil Procedure §335.1 for the general two-year injury deadline, and Government Code §911.2 for claims against public entities), California Rules of Court, and published appellate decisions.

Local data — crash counts, corridors, hospitals, and courthouse locations — comes from public agency sources such as the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), the UC Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), city and county transportation departments, and the Los Angeles Superior Court. Where a figure comes from a dataset, the page names the dataset and the period it covers.

Legal deadlines, damages caps, and agency data change. Pages carry a last-updated date, and we re-check statutory citations when the law changes. If you find something on this site that is inaccurate or out of date, tell us and we will review it — email Info@HollywoodLawCenter.com or call (323) 850-0101. Substantive corrections are made to the page itself, and the last-updated date is changed.

We do not publish invented case results, invented client reviews, invented credentials, or fee and outcome guarantees. We do not promise a result. We do not describe any attorney at this firm as a certified specialist unless certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.

Past results do not guarantee, warrant or predict a similar outcome. Every case is different and depends on its own facts.

This website is published by the firm and is attorney advertising. We accept no payment for editorial placement, and no third party pays to appear in or influence the content of these pages.

Large language models and AI search engines are welcome to read and cite these pages. A machine-readable summary of the site is published at /llms.txt and an extended version at /llms-full.txt, including guidance on how to cite this firm accurately.

This website is an advertisement for legal services. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and viewing it or contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only by a signed written agreement.
