Introduction
Art Oganesian handles every Aratta Law Firm case personally from its opening through its final resolution, a commitment that distinguishes the practice from larger operations where clients meet a named partner at intake and then work primarily with associates or case managers throughout their matter. That direct-attorney model is a deliberate choice, not a capacity limitation, and it produces the kind of detailed case knowledge that typically matters most at the negotiation table or in the courtroom.
Aratta Law Firm operates from Suite 1715 at 655 N Central Avenue in Glendale, California, serving a region where the Americana at Brand complex, Brand Boulevard, and the local freeway ramp network generate a specific and recurring pattern of serious injury cases. Oganesian has earned Super Lawyers recognition and holds membership in prestigious legal organizations. The firm’s results include a $2.5 million recovery for a rideshare accident victim, a $1.5 million settlement for a catastrophic rear-end collision, $900,000 for TMJ injuries, and $500,000 for a T-bone accident.
Consultations are free, cases are handled on contingency, and the firm is reachable around the clock.
Practice Areas
Automobile Accidents
Standard vehicle collisions encompass an enormous range of circumstances and injury severity. Aratta Law Firm approaches each accident case by examining the full insurance picture: the at-fault driver’s liability policy, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, and GAP insurance that can affect the financial recovery available to the client. This insurance analysis often uncovers additional compensation sources that a less thorough approach would miss.
Rear-End Accidents
Rear-end collisions are among the most common accident types on California roads and among the most frequently mischaracterized as minor. Soft tissue injuries, TMJ disorders, and concussions that result from rear-end impacts can produce lasting medical problems. The firm’s $1.5 million catastrophic injury settlement and $900,000 TMJ recovery both demonstrate that rear-end accidents can generate significant legal claims when injuries are properly documented and pursued.
T-Bone Accidents
Side-impact collisions concentrate force directly into the passenger compartment. The firm has secured $500,000 in T-bone settlements for clients whose cases required aggressive pursuit against insurers reluctant to acknowledge the full severity of the impact.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck accidents require a different investigative approach than standard vehicle collisions. Rollover accidents account for approximately 35% of all truck injuries and fatalities according to California Trucking Association data, and those events generate liability that can extend to trucking companies, cargo loaders, and maintenance contractors in addition to drivers. The firm investigates federal safety compliance alongside state traffic law in pursuing truck accident claims.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians struck by vehicles suffer injuries that are disproportionately severe relative to the collision circumstances. The firm represents pedestrian accident victims in pursuing the full range of compensation available under California law.
Drunk Driving Accidents
DUI accident cases carry the possibility of punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages, which can significantly increase the total recovery available to injured clients. The firm pursues both categories in appropriate cases.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
TBI claims require specialized handling because the injuries themselves are often not immediately apparent and their long-term consequences are difficult to quantify at the outset of a case. The firm has experience building TBI cases that capture future care costs and long-term quality-of-life damages alongside immediate medical expenses and lost income.
Rideshare Accidents (Uber and Lyft)
The $2.5 million rideshare accident settlement is among the firm’s most prominent results. Rideshare accidents involve insurance coverage questions specific to whether the driver was carrying a passenger, waiting for a request, or operating offline. The firm handles the full coverage analysis and pursues the maximum available from all applicable policies.
Bicycle Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, and Catastrophic Injuries
Cyclists, motorcyclists, and victims of high-severity crashes receive the same direct-attorney attention as any other Aratta Law Firm client. Catastrophic injury cases involving permanent disability or life-altering medical consequences receive particular attention to long-term damages that adequately account for future needs.
Freeway Ramp Accidents
Glendale’s freeway ramp network generates a specific category of accidents where merge failures, visibility limitations, and speed differentials combine to create dangerous conditions. The firm’s local knowledge of these locations informs investigation and liability analysis in ramp-related collision cases.
Attorney Profile
Art Oganesian founded Aratta Law Firm on three operating principles that govern how every case is handled:
First, open communication with direct attorney contact. Clients speak with Oganesian, not with a paralegal or case manager standing between them and their lawyer. This means the attorney who knows the full details of the case is always accessible.
Second, tailored case assessments focused on each client’s unique story. No two accidents produce identical facts, and the strategy for any given case must reflect the specific circumstances, injuries, and available insurance coverage involved. Cookie-cutter approaches miss the details that move cases from average settlements to maximum recoveries.
Third, strategic litigation with aggressive action at the right time. Not every case benefits from aggressive litigation tactics deployed immediately. The right strategy balances pressure against insurers with the timing and leverage that produces the best outcome for the client.
Super Lawyers recognition and membership in prestigious legal organizations reflect the professional standing that Oganesian has built through years of consistent results in Southern California personal injury practice.

Client Focus
The ability to reach an attorney by text at 818-618-7276 in addition to the main phone line reflects Aratta Law Firm’s recognition that injured clients communicate differently and need accessible options. The 24/7 availability ensures that the moments immediately after a serious accident, when evidence is fresh and decisions matter most, are not moments when a client has to wait for a business to open.
The insurance analysis component of the firm’s practice deserves particular attention. Many personal injury clients do not fully understand what coverage they purchased or what coverage the at-fault driver carries. Aratta Law Firm examines liability limits, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, and GAP insurance to construct a complete picture of the financial resources available for each client’s recovery. This analysis sometimes reveals coverage sources that dramatically change a case’s value.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between working with Aratta Law Firm and a larger firm?
At Aratta Law Firm, Art Oganesian handles your case personally from intake through resolution. You are not handed off to an associate or a case manager after your initial meeting. The attorney who understands the full facts of your case is the one negotiating with insurers and, when necessary, taking your case to court.
What coverage should I look for after a serious accident?
Beyond the at-fault driver’s liability policy, you should examine your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, any applicable GAP insurance, and commercial policies if the at-fault driver was operating a company vehicle or rideshare. The firm conducts a full insurance analysis for every client to identify all available sources of compensation.
Does the firm handle cases where a rideshare driver caused the accident?
Yes. The firm recovered $2.5 million for a rideshare accident client. These cases involve specific insurance coverage questions that depend on the driver’s status at the time of the crash, and the firm has direct experience navigating the coverage structures of major rideshare companies.
What are freeway ramp accidents, and why does local knowledge matter?
Freeway ramp accidents occur where drivers merge onto or off highways, often at speed differentials that create dangerous conditions. Glendale’s specific ramp configurations and traffic patterns are relevant to liability analysis in these cases. Local experience with these locations informs investigation strategy.
Is there a cost to contact the firm?
No. Consultations are free. Personal injury cases are handled on contingency, meaning there are no attorney fees unless and until the firm recovers compensation for you.
