The Dominguez Firm wins a record-setting $2,534,613 jury verdict on April 26, 2017 in the Santa Monica Superior Court on behalf of a security guard that sustained a knee injury when a defective metal gate, missing the rubber stopper, fell on her.

The owner of the car wash property, where the gate was located, had refused to accept responsibility.
