CARLETT LAW GROUP is a national personal injury firm based in Northern California that has quickly become a premier practice for cases involving catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. With a team of dedicated attorneys and support staff, founder Randall Scarlett has built a highly selective plaintiffs’ firm that offers notable experience in the area of traumatic brain injuries. “Often called invisible injuries, traumatic brain injuries are among the most challenging injuries to litigate, especially in cases where a victim outwardly appears unaffected,” Scarlett notes. “It’s our job to help the jury understand the injury and its devastating impact on the family, and ultimately secure results that will ensure proper care and rehabilitation for our clients.” Scarlett has achieved a number of record-setting verdicts for clients with traumatic brain injuries, including one of the highest non-punitive verdicts in the State of California—a $49.1 million verdict on behalf of a man requiring 24/7 care. His other groundbreaking verdicts for clients with traumatic

brain injuries include a $26 million award for a 7-year-old, a $22.8 million award for a 52-year-old woman, a $13.4 million award for a 28-year-old woman, and a $10.6 million award for a 31-year-old man. Beyond traumatic brain injuries, Scarlett’s firm regularly obtains eight-figure verdicts for clients who have endured spinal cord injuries, automobile accidents, big-rig trucking accidents, birth injuries, and wrongful death. These results include one of the highest wrongful-death verdicts rendered in Monterey County Superior Court—an $18.6 million consolidated-case jury verdict. Scarlett also achieved a $1.2 billion punitive verdict as lead counsel for the direct-action plaintiffs in all three phases of the Ferdinand Marcos Human Rights Litigation and a $5 billion verdict on behalf of about 750 fishermen in the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Litigation. “Our clients are facing catastrophic injuries, and through the verdicts and settlements we achieve for them, they have the means to improve their quality of life,” Scarlett says. “Not only

do we provide clients with litigation support, but we ensure they receive cutting-edge treatment modalities that will allow them to live the most independent life possible.” Outside of his practice, Scarlett is a past-vice president and emeritus board member of the Brain Injury Association of California and assists with its annual legal conference. He also is a past-chair and current board member of the Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Section of the American Association for Justice and a past-president of the Belli Society. Currently, he serves as president of the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys—one of the only national American Bar Association-accredited organizations to certify attorneys for handling legal and medical malpractice cases. “I live to assist people who have suffered catastrophic harm, and with my son recently graduating law school and joining the firm, I’ve had the pleasure of sharing this important work with him,” Scarlett says. “There is no greater calling than working in a field where you can help people.”

IS NEW ALWAYS BETTER?

The rapid rise of gentrification in major cities leaves residents wondering. By Janice Zhou

ISTOCK.COM/SPONDYLOLITHESIS

ARGE CITIES across the country are seeing rising rates of gentrification, and California residents are grappling with how to best manage the phenomenon while mitigating its negative impacts. According to a U.S. News article from August 2019, San Diego ranks as the second city in the U.S. with the highest intensity of gentrification, with 29 percent of the neighborhoods gentrified out of a total of 627 neighborhoods. The National Community Reinvestment Coalition ranked the country’s 20 most intensely gentrified cities during a five-year period ending in 2017 based off data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. Of the 20, California had five of them: San Francisco-Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, San Diego, and Los Angeles. We talked to two attorneys recognized by Best Lawyers to discuss the impact of gentrification on residents..

What are the effects, either positive or negative, of gentrification? The negative effects are all related to disruptions to affordable housing. Rents rise. Homelessness increases. Public health suffers. Workers are compelled to move great distances away from their jobs and must commute to work, increasing air pollution and straining family relationships. The positive side is mostly related to benefits to individuals affluent enough to afford to buy housing that may be rental-housing stock in presently marginal neighborhoods. The buyers redevelop that housing to higher standards, thus “improving” the quality of housing in those locations. This brings with it an increase in property taxes as assessed values increase, producing some economic benefits to the communities. In addition, a claim can be made that the more affluent buyers also spend more money than those who used to occupy homes purchased, increasing sales-tax revenues. But all of this comes at the expense of those renters who are forced to relocate and often must move outside of the cities in which they used to live. There’s a form of gentrification known has “green gentrification” which replaces lower-income housing in order to construct a green, resilient park or shoreline. What do you think of gentrification in the name of helping the planet? I think this is a very bad idea unless it is also paired with an effective redevelopment program to create affordable housing that replaces housing being converted. Taking the Bay Area as an example, there is an existing lack of affordable housing and the level of homelessness in the city is high. It’s hard to imagine finding additional property within the city on which to create affordable housing as a concomitant municipal program to green gentrification, let alone fasttracking its development. How are cities in California being gentrified specifically? Think back to the great Dot Com Bubble here in the Bay Area in the late 1990s. The high-income employees of the Dot Com companies essentially invaded the areas south of Market and began “upgrading” many of the city’s neighborhoods that had been rental housing for lower-income people for decades. This has now been repeated in the era of the boom in High Tech. San Francisco simply became an unaffordable place to live, unless you were extremely wealthy. Note that the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are currently producing a bit of a reversal to this trend, but that, in turn, is leading to a new “gentrification” of the former second-home destinations like the Wine Country and Lake Tahoe. Rental housing in those “resort” destinations has been eroded substantially as second homes are either occupied by their owners full time or are purchased for primary housing by affluent city refugees.

Michael H. Zischke

Partner at Cox, Castle & Nicholson

RECOGNIZED FOR LAND USE AND ZONING LAW SINCE 2007 What is your opinion on gentrification? Gentrification is a fact of real estate life; it has positive and negative effects. It’s best to focus on reducing negative impacts than arguing about gentrification itself. Is there a legal way to fight gentrification? I do not think so. We can fight the negative impacts, and so by promoting affordable housing and making it easier to build second units (and harder for neighbors to raise claims against them), but the economic trends are what they are. How can racial disparities in housing be broken down in terms of gentrification? There was a very interesting article in the New York Times a couple of weeks ago on racial disparity in housing in San Mateo and how it could be attributed to a mix of historic private and public actions, including racial covenants in subdivisions, government lending practices, and actions of private developers concerned with market value. The point of the article was that these historic practices have left a lasting imprint in a variety of ways, including dissuading minority purchasers who do not like the idea of buying into a subdivision when the title report shows a racially restrictive covenant. I recall having that concern when I bought my first house in the 1980s and writing to a state legislator suggesting there should be some requirement to get rid of any CC&Rs that have such covenants, not just have a clause in the title report that they are unenforceable, but affirmatively get rid of them. There may be some serious practical problems with doing that to all CC&Rs that contain such covenants, but it is a small example of what we should do to try to resolve the issue.

R. Lewis Van Blois Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs Oakland, CA

U YING A VEHICLE is one of the largest purchases an individual will make, usually with the expectation that it is an investment in rider safety. But what about when car failure leads to more serious consequences? R. Lewis Van Blois, the 2021 “Lawyer of the Year” for Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs in Oakland along with his long-time partner at Van Blois Law, Thomas C. Knowles, have won many legal battles against auto manufacturers including Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, BMW, Toyota, Hyundai, and others for product failures. “Product liability litigation for plaintiffs is extremely challenging but is also extremely rewarding,” Van Blois said. “It is David vs. Goliath, the underdog taking on mega corporations. When an uncaring corporation sells a product for profit that is unfit, unsafe, and doesn’t perform the way it is supposed to perform, it takes an experienced lawyer who is persistent and has the determination to keep going in the face of strong odds against winning.” Van Blois finds his practice area rewarding because of the satisfaction that comes from successfully achieving a result that helps a severely injured person put their lives back together in the best way possible. But as rewarding as that feeling is, there are challenges to this type of litigation.

“Auto ma nufactu rers a nd la rge cor porate defend a nts v igorously defend their products, and many are not above [using] dirty tricks to overwhelm plaintiff lawyers with an army of their lawyers,” he said. Although it may be intimidating to face a large corporation, Van Blois believes it is worth it to make the product—and the road—safer for all motorists and passengers. “[A n] exa mple of successf u l ly pursuing a case to achieve a benefit for the public was in Tracy, California, where a dangerous intersection— which caused three catastrophic accidents, resulting in five deaths and a severe brain injury—was made safe by an installation of traffic signals with left-turn lanes, allowing big rigs to safely drive through the intersection,” he explained. Van Blois’s advice for those pursuing a career in plaintiff’s product liability plaintiff law is to continue to educate yourself. “Successful lawyers share information with each other to learn what is successful and what is unsuccessful,” he said. “Successful product liability lawyers use all the informational resources [available to them]—including governmental sites and engineering sites—and attend seminars taught by the best lawyers.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM
