El Segundo is one of the most productive small cities in the country. The Lakers train here. Dozens of other aerospace and defense companies operate here. There’s even a Chevron refinery that covers a huge part of the city. Most of the land is set aside for businesses and factories. About 17,000 people call El Segundo home. But during the daytime, thousands more drive in for work. The main streets, like Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue, are packed with cars all day. There’s way more traffic than you’d expect for such a small city. Most drivers here during the day aren’t locals. They’re people coming in for work or dropping off packages. They don’t know the roads, and by the evening, they’re gone. So when crashes happen, things get tricky fast. It isn’t always a simple fender bender. The Law Office of John C. Ye has spent over 25 years helping people figure out their options after a crash. If you got hurt in El Segundo, we’re here to help you take the next step.
Before You Answer That Insurance Call, Read This.
Right after a crash, the other driver’s insurance company doesn’t waste time. They call when you’re still picking up the pieces. They’ve got a settlement number ready before you even know what everything will cost. The offer might sound okay at first. But does it include the future doctor visits? What about the time you missed from work? If the accident affected your long-term earning capacity, does the offer include that cost?
If you sign their papers, that’s it. The case is shut. Anything they didn’t cover is on you. If you choose to work with us, we step in early. You won’t have to talk to the insurance company at all. We take every call for you. You don’t sign a thing until you know what your case is really worth.
El Segundo Is Incorporated. Here’s Why That Matters.
El Segundo isn’t just a name on a map. The city has its own rules for the roads and public spaces here. If a broken road, a bad traffic light, or something else the city should have fixed caused your accident, your claim goes through the City of El Segundo. The rules are different. If you want to file a claim against the city or a government agency, you only get six months to act. That’s a lot shorter than the usual two years for most injury claims.
Here’s what we bring to your case:
- Over 25 years of experience representing injured people throughout Southern California
- A team that handles everything from investigating the accident to negotiations to court if that’s what it takes
- No attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you

Questions El Segundo Clients Ask Us
The driver who hit me was working for an aerospace company. Who do I go after?
You might have a case against both the driver and the company. If the driver was on the job, the company could be responsible too. We always look into who the driver was working for and what they were doing.
I got hurt near LAX, maybe on airport property. Does that make a difference?
It can make a big difference. Different groups like the city, the airport, or Caltrans run roads near LAX. If your accident happened on one of their roads, the rules change, and you might have less time to file a claim. We figure out who’s in charge right away so you don’t miss any deadlines.
How much time do I have to file a claim in California?
Usually, you get two years from the day of the accident. But if you’re dealing with the city or any government office, you might have as little as six months.
What if I got hurt in a parking lot or on a private road?
Owners of parking lots and buildings have to keep things safe. If something dangerous on their property caused your injury, they can be held responsible. We check out every detail to see who else might share the blame.
