Catastrophic Injury, Wrongful Death, Traumatic Brain Injury

THE SCARLETT LAW GROUP is one of the most successful plaintiff’s law firms in Northern California. Led by founder Randall H. Scarlett for more than 30 years and staffed with seasoned personal injury and civil trial attorneys, the firm has a proud history of securing record-setting results and maximum compensation for clients in all areas of catastrophic injury, including medical practice, products liability and motor vehicle and trucking accidents.

“We handle life-and-death matters and though courts are first resuming traditional live hearings more steadily, the progress on behalf of our clients never stops,” said Scarlett, who has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® annually since 2009 for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs in San Francisco. “Our talented lawyers and staff continued to carry on our mission to help keep society safe.”

Thanks to his decades of experience and success as an injury litigator, Scarlett is widely regarded as a trailblazer in matters related to traumatic brain injury (TBI). A past vice president and current board member emeritus of the Brain Injury Association of California, and the current president of the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys, Scarlett is revered as a nationwide leader by his peers, the medical community and the public in this complex area of law.

“I’ve seen the evidence of how TBI can drastically change the course of a victim’s life—whether it’s caused by a trucking collision or from a fall—and it shaped who I am as a lawyer,” said Scarlett, who lectures frequently on brain injuries. “Our firm uses proven strategies to help clients obtain maximum compensation for their damages so that they and their families can focus on healing and recovery.”

The firm has been honored by the media and legal community, as well. The firm is ranked by U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” 2022 as Regional Tier 1 in San Francisco for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs.

Among his many accolades, Scarlett was also twice nominated for Trial Lawyer of the Year by the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association. The Recorder honored Scarlett as a top California attorney of 2009, the only plaintiff’s personal injury attorney selected, for his work in obtaining a record-setting $49 million verdict on behalf of a 21-year-old who suffered devastating TBI in a big rig truck collision. The verdict remains among the largest-ever awarded by a Santa Clara County jury.

Scarlett Law Group is more than a law firm, in many respects, as it truly is comprised of family. Randall A. Scarlett joined his father at the firm as a lawyer in 2019. Since then, he has helped the firm adapt to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and his contributions have reshaped the way cases are presented to juries. Furthermore, Mary Anne Scarlett—Randall H. Scarlett’s spouse—is the administrative leader of the firm’s litigation department. Her deep experience in the area of complex matters, such as the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Litigation, uniquely positions her to aid the firm in all phases of trial preparation. Further still, Scarlett’s daughter, Christina Marie Scarlett, is completing law school and intends to join the firm upon graduating. Indeed, many of the lawyers and staff have been with the firm for decades, a further testament to their passion for the law.

“We have a unique opportunity to work together as a family to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients and their families,” Randall A. Scarlett noted. “There is truly nothing more rewarding than that. “Our lawyers and staff adjusted to the most tumultuous of times and demonstrated a total commitment to our clients. That commitment has allowed us to continue to secure favorable resolutions for our clients, even as courts battled to safely reopen. Now that courts have reopened, we have moved forward with the knowledge that we are adaptable and that we have the commitment and strength to face any challenge we may face in our pursuit of justice.”

THE LAW

California Appeals Court Reverses Workplace Arbitration Decision

Labor Code 432.6, a newly proposed set of legislation in California, was recently met with a successful ruling, but state officials are now reversing that decision.

ON AUGUST 22, 2022, California’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which previously upheld its ruling, recently withdrew its decision regarding Labor Code 432.6.

The law banned mandatory arbitration agreements in the employment context. Two of the three judges presiding over the panel decided to withdraw their prior opinion in the 2019 case of Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America v. Bonta, which sought to prohibit mandatory arbitration as a condition of employment. Section 432.6 prevents employers from requiring current or future applicants to sign arbitration agreements “as a condition of employment, continued employment or the receipt of any employment-related benefit.” Additionally, the law has set in place both criminal and civil sanctions, which aim to root out employers that have retaliated, discriminated, threatened or unlawfully discharged an employee refusing to accept arbitration.

Starting in October of 2019, the California legislature successfully passed and Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 51, creating Labor Code section 432.6. For decades prior to the passing of AB51, the U.S. Supreme Court has made it an active mission to heavily enforce the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), which requires circuit and district courts nationwide to adopt employment-based arbitration agreements pursuant to laws of the state. As a remedy to the Supreme Court’s pro-arbitration mindset, AB51 was passed in an effort to override this legislative recourse but did not mark the first time a California official voiced their disapproval of arbitration.

In 2018, former Governor Jerry Brown vetoed two prior attempts brought forth by state legislatures to make arbitration in California fully mandatory. Two days before AB51 could take full effect, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California filed a restraining order against the proposed bill, halting the enforcement

of the law via preliminary injunction which found the law to be a direct violation of the FAA. Originally set to take effect on January 1, 2020, California state officials immediately appealed this injunction, leaving the matter to be sorted in appeals court.

Christopher Ward, a labor and employment attorney and partner at Foley & Lardner LLP, is currently working at the forefront of the state-based arbitration issue. “I think the more interesting thing that’s probably going on right now is how are the court’s going to ultimately square these kinds of laws with the pre-emptive force of the Federal Arbitration Act. The Supreme Court has been pretty consistent about keeping that scope broad and striking down state laws that would seem to interfere with the scope of the FAA,” stated Ward, as reported by Bloomberg Law.

According to state legal experts, the court’s 2-1 decision is likely to create some confusion moving forward regarding the usage of arbitration agreements under the context of employment in California. On one side of the issue, California-based employers are likely to continue implementing voluntary rather than mandatory arbitration agreements with current or future employees, leaving those who decline to participate free from running the risk of accumulating significant financial penalties. On the other side of the issue, this ruling is a key indicator that certain provisions of Section 432.6 may still apply, especially in situations where employers are seeking to condition employees who refuse to sign arbitration agreements. Despite these major legislative changes, the arbitration dime doesn’t stop there. Multiple states including Illinois, Connecticut, Idaho and Texas are all currently building employment and healthcare arbitration statutes that work to complement the FAA and its provisions rather than work against it, leaving employers and employees alike uncertain of what the future of workplace arbitration will hold.

Craig M. Peters

Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs

San Francisco, CA

ince 1997, Craig Peters has worked as a trial lawyer in San Francisco, California, joining Altair Law LLP in 2018. Currently a partner at the firm, Peters is also serving as the president of the Consumer Attorneys of California as well as the secretary of the Council of Presidents for the American Association for Justice. Peters has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2015 for his work in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, since 2016 for Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs and more recently since 2021 in Medical Malpractice Law –Plaintiffs. For 2023, Peters is currently being honored as a “Lawyer of the Year” for Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in San Francisco.

S

When asked about his award, Peters stated: “The past year has been a good one for consumers at large, as well as the consumers that we have been able to help through our practice at Altair Law. In August, in concert with two other law firms, we were able to secure the largest medical malpractice settlement in the state of California. In October, we went to trial in what is believed to be the first mass shooting case in the state of California to impanel a jury. 2022 has been a great year for collaboration with others to create meaningful change to those who need help. I am grateful that I have been able to be a part of many of those collaborations and been entrusted with helping people during their time of need, only contributing to my current recognition.”

Peters continued, “As an attorney working in this area of law, I have an opportunity to help people in need, and to make their life better by helping them have access to the care and treatment they need. Our clients come to us at a low point in their life, and we work to help them recapture, as much as possible, the life they should have had, or could have, if someone’s negligence had not robbed them of that future. We deal with the human, emotional loss: the grief, the depression, the isolation and loneliness, the limitations.”

In addition to garnering over 20 years of legal experience, Peters also dedicates time to teaching trial skills and constitutional law at Hastings College of Law and the University of San Francisco School of Law, at one time assuming the role of professor. Prior to starting Altair Law LLP, Peters worked as a criminal defense attorney for 13 years, going to trial on a full range of cases from misdemeanors to felonies.

“On the other side of cases like these is often an insurance company or another large corporation that deals primarily in economic loss. It can be hard to help that side see the full value of a client’s losses because of this divide. While this is the most challenging part of the job, it can also be the most gratifying when you connect with the other side, and they fully appreciate the depth and breadth of the losses your client has suffered. To guarantee success, go forward in any case with compassion, creative thinking, diligence and resolve.”

SAFETY MATTERS BEYOND THE COURTROOM

As courts reopen, one of the nation’s leading brain injury authorities, Randall H. Scarlett, intends to reach new heights in the pursuit of justice for victims.

RANDALL H. SCARLETT and his team have eagerly awaited a return to normalcy for the courtrooms of California, and in the last year that process has slowly and safely resumed. In-person civil trials are in progress in numerous counties throughout California and the rest of the country, and the Scarlett Law Group founder—a nationally recognized authority on traumatic brain injury (TBI)—is prepared to argue cases on behalf of his clients.

“While these cases aim to secure maximum compensation for the plaintiffs, some are poised to have major societal impact,” says Scarlett, who has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® annually since 2009 for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs in San Francisco.

In one such matter, he represents 13 victims and survivors of the 2019 mass shooting that occurred at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. This groundbreaking lawsuit—for which the firm is joined by Brady Legal, an organization dedicated to ending America’s gun violence epidemic—is being brought against the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association and the City of Gilroy as well as a security company for their negligent lack of security and preparedness. Century Arms LLC is also named as a defendant for marketing and selling the WASR-10 militarystyle assault rifle used by the shooter.

“We hear about a new mass shooting too often, but Scarlett Law Group is not numb to the news,” he says. “We proudly represent the people of Gilroy and hope to bring about change in public policy that can improve safety in our communities. For too long we have sat on the sidelines as mass shootings tear apart communities across this country. This case represents an opportunity to help our clients whose lives have been forever altered by this event, and a chance to bring about meaningful, and long-lasting changes that will

make all of our communities safer.”

Scarlett’s fierce advocacy for TBI victims has led to several record- and precedent-setting outcomes. The Scarlett Law Group has obtained more than 10 eight-figure verdicts and settlements in the last decade alone. Some of Scarlett’s most notable jury verdict awards include $49 million for an individual who, following a devastating collision, suffered debilitating brain injuries that required constant care; $26 million for an eight-month-old girl who suffered TBI following a hospital’s misdiagnosis that will require a lifetime of related care; $22.8 million for a 52-year-old woman who sustained a severe brain injury; and $18.6 million for a wrongful death which occurred following a devastating trucking collision.

works alongside his father at the Scarlett Law Group, literally went leaps and bounds to bring awareness to TBI when he repelled over the top of a Sacramento building to raise awareness for the Brain Injury Association of California.

“The Scarlett Law Group has a special responsibility to continue the dialogue about brain injury beyond the courtrooms,” says Randall A. Scarlett who has been with the firm since 2011 and joined his father as lawyer in 2019. “As much as we love going to court, we also hope we can educate our neighbors and local communities to avoid and prevent TBI from the outset. And if we have to scale a building to start that conversation, then it’s well worth it.”

Harkening back to the emphasis on client service, Randall A. Scarlett notes that even during the delays in hearings due to the pandemic, the Scarlett Law Group leveraged its networks to help provide important care and support to its clients.

But the firm acknowledges that the need for TBI engagement transcends the courtroom. A past vice president and current board member emeritus of the Brain Injury Association of California, and the current president of the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys, Scarlett lectures virtually and in-person to legal, medical and advocacy groups on TBI risks and their impact on the law and public policy.

The Scarlett Law Group also enhances its public outreach each March in observance of Brain Injury Awareness Month through fundraising events, organized walks and even some jaw-dropping spectacles. Lawyer Randall A. Scarlett, who

“A brain injury tends to bring the victims’ worlds to a halt,” he says. “The victims and their families often end up in a treatment vacuum where the injured receives initial acute care at an emergency room or ICU, and then they’re discharged. When they’re not put in touch with the right care providers afterward, we have stepped in to connect them with proper health care professionals and facilities to help the healing process during the waiting periods. The initial six to eight months following a serious head injury are often the most critical for recovery from TBI.

“There are wonderful specialized treatment modalities and therapies that exist which can help to maximize TBI victims’ chances for recovery if implemented early on. It continues to be an enormous privilege to offer our service to clients outside their cases or the courtroom. It is that privilege which makes our work so rewarding.”

“ONES TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS

These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years.

Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
