About Lauren Horwitz

Lauren Horwitz is a trial attorney and partner at BD&J, PC in its wrongful death and catastrophic injury practice group. She has recovered over $300 million on behalf of her clients to date and has spent nearly 200 days in trial. Lauren represents plaintiffs in state and federal court, and has argued before the California Court of Appeal. A skilled litigator and compassionate advocate, Lauren believes that every client deserves the best representation in all aspects of their case.

Lauren spends a large portion of her time litigating interstate and intrastate trucking cases, and her clients have prevailed against defendants of every stripe from individuals to multi-national corporate conglomerates. Another focus of Lauren’s practice is on premises liability cases, and in particular, building fire cases. She believes that utility companies and property owners should be held accountable when their buildings do not meet industry safety standards.

Those harmed by fires often seek Lauren’s representation because of her dedication to the pursuit of justice. She also handles product liability cases and bad-faith insurance litigation. One of Lauren’s strongest assets is her ability to collect valuable evidence that opposing parties try to hide.
