Greg Diarian is a Senior Trial Attorney and Litigation Manager at the Law Offices of Burg and Brock. He spent the first ten years of his legal career as in-house defense counsel for Mercury Insurance, taking high-value cases to verdict for the carrier and learning insurance-claim strategy from the inside. He now uses that perspective for the firm’s injured clients. His California Bar status (No. 294014) is verifiable through the State Bar of California: apps.calbar.ca.gov/attorney/Licensee/Detail/294014.
Greg writes and reviews much of the firm’s content on California fault and no-fault rules, comparative negligence under Li v. Yellow Cab and California Civil Code Section 1714, insurance-claim mechanics, settlement-valuation methodology, and how a personal-injury claim is actually evaluated by a carrier’s adjuster. When you read a Burg and Brock article on whether California is a no-fault state, how fault is determined, or how to file a car-accident insurance claim, Greg has either authored it or signed off on it — from the perspective of someone who used to work the other side of the file.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is evaluated on its own facts. The results referenced below were obtained under the facts and law applicable at the time and are not predictive of any outcome in any future matter.
Greg has tried high-value cases on both sides of the bar — first for Mercury Insurance, then for the firm’s injured clients. To talk through whether your case fits a litigation track and what a realistic case-value range looks like for your specific facts, call 888-528-8595 and ask to speak with Greg or a member of the trial team.
Greg’s ten years inside Mercury Insurance gives him a working knowledge of how an adjuster reads a demand package, what reserves are set, and where the carrier’s authority limits sit. That perspective changes how he writes a demand and how he tries a case — he knows what the other side is looking at, because he used to be the one looking at it.
To speak with Greg about a motor-vehicle, wrongful-death, or other litigation-track personal-injury matter, call 888-528-8595 or use the contact page. Initial consultations are free and confidential. Burg and Brock works personal injury cases on a contingency fee — you do not pay attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
