Best Car Accident Lawyers in Los Angeles, CA
Lederer & Nojima, LLP was listed among the best car accident lawyers in Los Angeles by Forbes.
Why Lederer & Nojima
They spent years building the insurance company’s case. Now they build yours.
We Know the Other Side
David Lederer and John Nojima spent years at large corporate insurance defense firms. They know every tactic adjusters use to deny, delay, and minimize your claim - because they invented them. Now they use that knowledge for you.
No Fee Unless We Win
You pay nothing to hire us. We work on contingency - our fee comes from your settlement or verdict. If we do not win, you owe us nothing. Period.
Available 24/7
Injuries do not wait for business hours. Call us any time - day, night, weekend. When you need answers at 11 PM, someone answers. We take over all communication with the insurance company from the moment you hire us.
50+ Years Combined
David Lederer has practiced since 1992. John Nojima has 19+ years handling personal injury cases at Lederer & Nojima alone - after 5 years at a large corporate insurance defense firm. That is depth you cannot fake.

We handle every type of injury case in Los Angeles
Our former insurance defense background means we already know the arguments the insurer will raise against your claim. We build your case to defeat them.
From first call to final check
Most people have never hired a personal injury attorney before. Here is exactly what happens when you call Lederer & Nojima, and why it is different when the attorneys on your side used to be the ones working against you.
Experience
You Call
Call (310) 312-1860 any time, day or night. We do a free consultation by phone, and if you have a case, we take over every conversation with the insurance company immediately. You stop talking to them. We start.
We Investigate
We request the police report, pull surveillance footage before it disappears, document your injuries, and review every piece of evidence the insurer will use to minimize your claim. We built those arguments once. Now we defeat them.
We Negotiate
With 5+ years each on the defense side, we know exactly when an insurer is lowballing and when they are close to fair value. We push. We file suit when it is in your interest. Adjusters know we go to trial.
You Collect
We handle the medical liens, the property damage, the settlement disbursement. You see a check, not a spreadsheet of deductions. Contingency only: we get paid from your recovery. Not before.
