Two Former Insurance Defense Attorneys Now Represent the People Insurers Try to Beat

The insurance playbook is familiar to this firm.

Lederer & Nojima, LLP was built by lawyers who know how the other side thinks. Founding partners David J. Lederer and John Nojima spent years defending corporations and insurance companies before choosing to represent injured people in Los Angeles.

That background matters when an adjuster questions your pain, blames you for the crash, delays payment, or tries to settle before the full medical picture is known. The firm has seen those tactics from the inside and prepares cases with that defense strategy in mind.

The trial team now includes David J. Lederer, John Nojima, Eddie Dennis, Monica Behnejad. Together, they handle serious personal injury, wrongful death, motor vehicle accident, premises liability, dog bite, product liability, rideshare, uninsured motorist, and catastrophic injury cases throughout Los Angeles County and Southern California.

The firm accepts injury cases on contingency. Clients pay no attorney fee unless the firm wins through settlement, verdict, or judgment. The team also works with medical specialists, accident investigators, engineers, and other experts when a case needs proof beyond the police report or insurance file.

Lederer & Nojima has recovered more than $500 million for clients. The firm often helps people who were turned down elsewhere, including clients with disputed liability, serious injuries, limited insurance coverage, or cases that require trial pressure to move the insurer.
