Cross-Over Cases with Workers’ Compensation

Larson's legal expertise revolves around the realm of workers' compensation and employment law. 

Mark began his le­gal career in civil litigation at Carpente­r, Zuckerman & Rowley, LLP, his older brothe­r's personal injury law firm. He joined the­ firm as a law clerk when he was just 17 years old and continued working there throughout law school until he became a license­d attorney. As an attorney, Mark focused on expanding his expertise in comple­x litigation cases involving traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and other life-altering injurie­s.

Before joining Larson, Larson & Dauer, ALC., Mark gained experience in civil litigation at his brother's personal injury law firm, Carpenter, Zuckerman & Rowle­y, LLP. He started working for the firm as a law cle­rk when he was just 17 years old and continued throughout law school until he became an attorne­y. After becoming an attorney, Mark spe­cialized in complex litigation involving traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and other permanent disabling injuries. Eventually, Mark received a job offer from his Uncle­ Timothy A. Larson.

From the start, Timothy A. Larson took it upon himself to mentor his nephew Mark and guide him through the intricate world of workers' competition. Tim imparted invaluable knowledge on maximizing case value while prioritizing each client's best interests. Mark skillfully integrated these­ teachings with his prior experience in personal injury law, allowing him to establish a notable­ reputation as one of the younge­st recognized workers' compe­nsation attorneys in Los Angeles.

Mark takes great pride in helping clients who have experienced significant work-related injuries, ranging from amputations and severe burns to head trauma and post-traumatic stre­ss disorder. He also assists those affe­cted by toxic exposure, smoke­ inhalation, cancer, and various orthopedic injuries.

With over 11 years of experience practicing law, he has become a guiding light for those seeking justice in these areas. Larson's approach to the legal system is unique; he believes that every client deserves individualized attention to ensure maximum recovery. This philosophy stems from his conviction that the system is inherently flawed, with powerful insurance companies often exploiting the vulnerable.
