About Adam

Learn Adam’s areas of practice.

Adam J. Savin is a young, energized attorney who believes that success should be measured by the attorney's results rather than his years in practice.  Since 2010, Adam J. Savin has recovered millions of dollars in settlements and benefits for his clients. Working with his father and mother, who started the firm over 30 years ago, Adam J. Savin had the unique benefit and experience of being able to dive right into the world of litigation and get his feet wet in bench and jury trials, depositions, mediations, settlement conferences, discovery disputes, and just about all aspects of early litigation through trial.

 

Adam J. Savin has devoted his practice area to helping people who have suffered moderate to catastrophic life altering or ending injuries, whether these injuries happened at work or by the hands of a negligent or careless actions of another.  Adam J. Savin's primary focus is in complex Workers' Compensation claims with cross-over Personal Injury claims known as 3rd party claims. These are claims where individuals are injured and have a duality of remedies- meaning they can pursue both Workers' Compensation benefits as well as Personal Injury damages against another person known as the 3rd party.

 

Adam J. Savin also has keen knowledge on the very limited exceptions that may permit an injured employee to pursue a civil action against their employer despite the exclusive remedy rule in the California Labor Code. Handling these workers' compensation / personal injuries cross over cases takes special knowledge and experience, and if done properly the injured employee/person can maximize their benefits and settlement.  

 

The first step is identification of remedies and Adam J. Savin has the background and training in both workers' compensation and personal injury law to make sure no stone goes unturned.

 

Adam J. Savin is also a part of a small community of attorneys in Los Angeles and surrounding cities who handle Workers' Compensation claims where the employer is illegally uninsured, typically referred to as UEF or Uninsured Employers Fund Cases. These UEF cases follow special rules and procedures and an inexperienced workers' compensation attorney can delay your case for years if the proper procedures are not followed at the forefront. In addition, these UEF cases can sometimes open the employer to personal civil liability outside of workers' compensation, since maintaining workers' compensation insurance is a law.

 

 In addition to these hybrid Workers' Compensation Personal Injury cases and uninsured employers claims (UEF), Adam J. Savin also has extensive litigation experience in all sorts of automobile accidents, trucking/tractor, motorcycle, boating, construction site accidents, slip and falls, wrongful death suits, catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injuries from accidents, sexual molestation and misconduct, products liability, dog bite cases, medical mal practice, and other injury related claims.

 

There is something to be said with regards to being a young attorney in the age of technology. Adam J. Savin brings a new age of technology and creativity to the table at Savin & Bursk. Attorneys like Adam J. Savin are paving the road and setting the new standards in case preparation and trial presentation through the use of litigation applications, specialized software, 3D animation accident reconstruction, and interactive visual display media.  

 

Adam J. Savin is a young, innovative, and hungry attorney who will exceed his client’s expectations.  Adam understands that being an exceptional attorney does not simply mean getting his clients the most amount of money possible. Adam has a compassion for his clients and understands the value of meeting with each and every client, taking the time to listen and explain what they can expect.

Exactly what you want in an attorney
The work Adam does is fantastic. I was hit by a car while riding my bike. Adam took care of everything from arranging medical care, making sure I was taken care of and negotiating my settlement. Everything went very smooth and I was extremely satisfied. He is always around whenever I need legal advice and is happy to help.

Emerging, Energetic Attorney!
Perhaps one of the advantages of going with a younger attorney, is the energy that they bring to the table. Adam Savin boasts that vitality, but brings the wisdom of a veteran lawyer as well. My theory is, his extensive education is still fresh & also more relevant than law someone learned decades ago for example. With legal procedures constantly evolving, I felt confident the entire way through that I was receiving the best guidance available. If you're looking for a hungry attorney that knows your success is his success, no doubt this is the man to handle your case. I wasn't surprised to hear that his parents also own a law firm, so he was essentially born & raised in a legal environment... Couldn't be happier that I was recommended to go with him!

best attorney I have had
I had a horrific, very complicated workers compensation case that dragged on for almost a decade. Thank God Adam agreed to take my case after several attorneys previously. The most my previous attorney's could negotiate to settle my case was 30 grand closing out my medical. Adam was able to get me a settlement of over 300 grand. In regards to how he managed my case before settlement, it was much better than the other attorney's I had previously (4). He would actually take issues to court. His paralegal Carlos was also a Godsend. He is the best attorney I have ever had. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Adam. MC.

He helped me win 7 figures!!
I am so thankful for everything Adam did to help me along the way. Savin & Bursk is a family owned law firm. I started by seeing Gerorge Svain (Adams’s father - for workers Comp) and when we realized there was a potential personal injury claim - I immediately began meeting with Adam to discuss my options. I really enjoyed working with Adam because he is a young lawyer who is incredibly versed in all things personal injury and extremely knowledgeable of workers comp law. He is very eager to fight for you. We’ve had many conversations of what my life is like post injury and he assured me that he would fight to get me what I deserved! I had a slip & fall at work and ended up injuring my spine, permanent nerve damage & a pain syndrome to name a few. I also suffer from anxiety & depression due to pain and the lack of being able to provide for myself. Savin & Bursk made sure I received psychological care and made sure I made it to the best pain management Dr in Southern California. I truly felt cared for by Adam and his team and I know he had my best interest at heart. During the court process I saw Adam come alive - you could see his passion & love for what he does in each word he spoke. He was charming, eloquent, knowledgeable & fought every day in court for me. I’m happy to say due to Adams hard work I was awarded a 7 figure sum and could not be happier!!! I can never thank Adam enough for what he’s done for me. If you’re looking for a lawyer that is passionate, caring & knowledgeable - give Adam a call you will not be sorry!

Superb Job!
I contacted Adam Savin and his office concerning a work related accident and Adam spent almost 2 hours with me in person going over every aspect of what I should expect and the process we will be going through. Throughout the process he was always available by email and phone and was always helpful. In the end I was extremely surprised and happy with the results. I would recommend him to anyone who has an injury claim.

Professional Angel
This is my story: While on the job, II was rear-ended by an 18 Wheeler Diesel tractor trailer. After 6 months of therapy and none the better, I was scheduled for Surgery #1 followed by 6 months of intense therapy. With less than expected results Surgery #2 was performed (a repeat of surgery #1 and more)! Two weeks after my second surgery, my beautiful mother passed away. I was devastated, as one can imagine losing the one person who loves you unconditionally. All the while, repeating numerous extensive physical therapy sessions. Exactly 9 months after losing my mother, my precious 18 year-old son was a rear seat passenger in a fatal car crash driven by, supposedly, a best buddy. As any parent knows, this is our worse nightmare. I have worked with life and death situations in the medical field for 35 years. And during that time, nothing I had experienced prepared me for the reality of losing a precious child. I share these tragedies with you to show you my state of being. My case was about to expire, when I hired Adam James Savine after removing my first lawyer whom did not even file my case! Adam being an outstanding lawyer swooped in and basically saved my future (which at the time, I could careless about much of anything when compared to my grief). His genuine compassion for his clients not to mention Adam's extensive knowledge of the Law is impressive. Adam gave me peace of mind from my legal issues at a time when I needed it the most!! As a result of Adam James Savine's genuine passion for the law, knowledge, resourcefulness and professionalism , I received a very lucrative outcome. Adam not only saved my financial future, his efforts afforded me time to focus on healing through the grieving process. Thank you Adam James Savine! You are a blessing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am extremely satisfied with Adam's legal services and I highly recommend Adam James Savine to all my friends, family and community members!! Let Adam take your legal issues to a postive outcome!! Forever grateful!

You cant teach instinct
As an executive at a large privately owned company, Ive had the pleasure of working with several excellent attorneys that specialize in a range of issues. Any legal professional can help you navigate the law but a great attorney will have an instinct that leads to the right strategy. By nature Adam is practical and stedfast but Ive found his creativity and instinct are what makes him different. On 2 separate occasions his unique approach has lead to quick resolutions in matters that would have otherwise been drawn out and cost my company a fortune. Results are what motivates Adam and I appreciate that. Whether its a courtroom verdict or crafting a bold legal letter that leads to a quick resolution.

In good hands
Adam has helped my family navigate the world of law on multiple occasions. Most recently on a contract that will help keep us protected in a new and complicated business venture. He is beyond thorough in every thing he does. It actually amazes me how quickly he can shift gears from case to case and wrap his head around all the intricate details surrounding our particular needs. His new office is beautiful and professional. I would not want to be a lawyer going up against Adam in his conference room. The only negative I can say (which I believe is beneficial to hear both the pros and the cons), is that he can be difficult to get a hold of at times as he is often at trial. However, he always returns my calls and I have all of his attention when he does.

AMAZING ATTORNEY!
Adam Savin has helped me with three (3) cases to date and has done wonders. Two of the cases were auto accidents where he made me feel great, like I was in good hands and had nothing to worry about. He took care of my car repair, rental vehicle, lost wages, medical treatment, and in the end I received a much larger settlement than I ever expected. Great service and great results. The other claim was something Mr. Savin discovered wherein a prior attorney who clearly did not know how to handle a prior accident dropped the ball. A few letters and phone calls and Mr. Savin made the prior attorney pay out of pocket for his mistakes. Needless to say, not all attorneys are equal. Mr. Savin is a shark, he is diligent, works hard, easy to communicate with, and will stop at nothing to succeed for his clients. I highly recommend this attorney.
