Personal Injury Attorneys/Lawyers

Trial attorney Vincent Vallin Bennett is tenaciously dedicated to fighting for justice for injured workers and consumers, particularly those who, because of language barriers, economic or immigration status, are afraid or incapable of exercising their legal rights.

As an integral member of the Personal Injury team of attorneys at Gordon, Edelstein, Krepack, Grant, Felton & Goldstein, LLP (GEK), Mr. Bennett specializes in catastrophic injury cases involving products liability, toxic and mass tort litigation, medical malpractice, construction accidents, as well as wrongful termination and civil rights litigation.

Mr. Bennett, who has either tried to verdict and/or settled several multi-million dollar cases, effectively litigated the largest settlement in GEK history involving more than 100 plaintiffs exposed to toxic chemicals by a Fortune 100 company. In addition to his trial work, he has briefed and argued numerous appeals, either affirming trial court victories or obtaining reversals.

This record of success can be attributed to a combination of Mr. Bennett’s hands-on litigating style, his wealth of experience as well as his unique ability to connect with juries on a personal level.

He developed a wide range of knowledge in toxic exposure having even worked on the Exxon Valdez oil spill and Hanover Nuclear Plant cases earlier in his career. In addition, he learned defense tactics and strategies while working for a premier medical malpractice defense firm before joining GEK.

Mr. Bennett has represented clients from various walks of life, from farm workers in California’s central valley and American Indian tribes in Washington to defrauded business investors. He is committed to the idea that our judicial system treat all people with equal dignity, respect and assurance of their legal rights.

He is a frequent speaker at community-based conferences, and provides inspirational and motivational speeches for various groups, associations and educational institutions. In addition, he is a published author of a variety of legal articles regarding consumer and workplace safety.

Prior to earning his law degree from the UCLA School of Law, Mr. Bennett served as a judicial intern for two of the state’s most respected trial and appellate judges.

Mr. Bennett, who speaks Spanish fluently, is a member of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, California and Los Angeles Consumer Trial Lawyers Associations, the Mexican American Bar Association and the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment. In addition, he is a sponsor of California Rural Legal Assistance.

Mr. Bennett is admitted to practice in the State of California and before the U.S. District Court for the Southern, Central and Northern Districts of California.
