The Law Offices of Mann & Elias is based in Beverly Hills, CA and proudly serves injured clients across all of Southern California. Beverly Hills sits in the heart of Los Angeles County, one of the most densely populated counties in the entire United States, with more than 10 million residents according to the U.S. Census Bureau. With so many people on the road and at work every day, serious accidents happen far too often.
Los Angeles County stretches from the Pacific Coast to the San Gabriel Valley and includes some of the most congested highways in the nation. The California Department of Transportation reports that freeways like the I-405, I-10, and I-5 see millions of trips every single week. High traffic volume means a higher risk of car accidents, truck crashes, and pedestrian injuries.
Orange County, located just south of Los Angeles, is home to more than 3 million people and a network of busy surface streets and freeways. Cities like Anaheim, Santa Ana, and Irvine see significant commercial truck traffic that can lead to serious collisions. Our firm serves injured victims throughout all of Orange County.
Riverside County covers a large stretch of inland Southern California, from the Coachella Valley to the cities of Riverside and Corona. According to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the I-10 and I-215 corridors through Riverside County carry massive volumes of freight and commuter traffic every day. This leads to a high number of serious accidents involving passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, and pedestrians.
San Bernardino County is the largest county by land area in the contiguous United States. It includes major logistics hubs and busy routes like the I-15 and SR-138. The heavy presence of delivery trucks and big rigs makes it a frequent site of serious truck crashes and catastrophic injury accidents. Our firm is ready to represent injured victims throughout San Bernardino County as well.

The Law Offices of Mann & Elias offers a full range of personal injury and employment law services to clients across Southern California. Our practice areas are designed to address the most serious harms that individuals and families face when someone else’s negligence changes their lives forever.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of serious injury and death in California. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System documents tens of thousands of injury collisions each year on California roads. If a negligent driver hurt you, our attorneys work to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Learn more about what your case may be worth by visiting our page on the average settlement for a personal injury lawsuit in California.
Truck Crashes
Commercial truck accidents often result in devastating, life-altering injuries. Big rigs can weigh up to 80,000 pounds under federal law, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Our firm’s founding partner Scott Mann is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) — an elite credential requiring 50 or more civil jury trials. That experience matters when you are going up against the powerful defense teams that trucking companies hire.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer catastrophic injuries or death. California law gives pedestrians rights in crosswalks and on public roads, but drivers frequently fail to yield. Our team investigates every detail of your accident to hold the responsible party fully accountable.
Catastrophic Injury
Catastrophic injuries — including spinal cord damage, severe burns, amputations, and traumatic brain injuries — can permanently alter your life and your family’s future. These cases demand an attorney with serious trial experience and the resources to take on well-funded defendants. The Law Offices of Mann & Elias has that experience and is ready to fight for you.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
TBI is one of the most complex and life-changing injuries a person can suffer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognizes TBI as a serious public health problem, with millions of Americans affected each year. Our attorneys understand the long-term medical, financial, and emotional toll a TBI places on victims and their families, and we fight to secure full compensation.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence, the surviving family members may be entitled to compensation under California law. Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60, certain family members may bring a wrongful death claim. Our firm handles these deeply personal cases with the compassion and determination your family deserves.
Employment Law
Our firm also represents employees throughout Southern California who have been wronged in the workplace. Whether you have experienced workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, wage theft, or wrongful termination, we have the experience to pursue your claim. Founding partner Imad Elias has been named to the California Super Lawyers list every single year since 2015 — an honor reserved for the top 5% of attorneys in the state — and has successfully tried more than 35 jury trials in employment cases. You can learn more about your workplace rights on our blog, including our articles on the two types of sexual harassment in the workplace and what it means to be an equal opportunity employer.
Why Choose Law Offices of Mann & Elias
The Law Offices of Mann & Elias was founded in April 1998 by Scott Mann and Imad Elias, both graduates of Pepperdine University School of Law, class of 1992. For over 30 years combined, they have dedicated their careers entirely to representing injured individuals and wronged employees — never corporate defendants or insurance companies.
Scott Mann earned a place on Pepperdine’s Law Review (top 10%) and won the school’s prestigious Vincent Dalsimer Moot Court tournament. He is a member of ABOTA, which requires 50 or more civil jury trials for admission. That depth of courtroom experience is a powerful advantage when insurance companies refuse to offer a fair settlement.
Imad Elias leads the firm’s Employment Law practice and has tried more than 35 jury trials over his career. He has been named to the California Super Lawyers list every year from 2015 through 2024 and holds an AVVO Rating of 10.0 Superb — the highest possible rating. His track record includes a recent $1.1 million jury verdict in a disability discrimination and failure-to-accommodate case.
Together, the firm has recovered more than $100 million for clients and maintains a 99% client success rate. The firm holds recognition from Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, and the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). When you hire the Law Offices of Mann & Elias, you get decades of proven experience working for you — not against you.
We are also proud to serve Spanish-speaking clients throughout Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. Our team communicates clearly, keeps you informed, and treats you with the respect you deserve at every step of your case.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, California law gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your right to recover compensation. Contact our firm as soon as possible after your accident so we can protect your rights.
What does it cost to hire the Law Offices of Mann & Elias?
Our firm works on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney’s fees unless we win your case. There is no upfront cost to you. We offer free case reviews so you can learn your options with no obligation.
What kinds of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
Depending on your situation, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also recover damages for loss of companionship and financial support. Every case is different, and our attorneys will evaluate yours carefully.
Do you handle cases involving commercial truck accidents in Riverside County?
Yes. Our firm handles truck crash cases throughout Riverside County and all of Southern California. Truck accident cases are complex because they involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and aggressive defense teams. Scott Mann’s ABOTA membership and extensive trial record make our firm well-equipped to handle even the most complicated truck crash claims.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault for the accident?
California follows a pure comparative fault rule. That means even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still recover compensation — but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. An experienced attorney can help you understand how this rule applies to your specific case.
Does the Law Offices of Mann & Elias serve Spanish-speaking clients?
Yes. Our firm proudly serves Spanish-speaking communities throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. We are committed to making sure every client fully understands their rights and the progress of their case.
