Details
As a partner with the Los Angeles based law firms of Larson, Larson & Dauer and McIntyre & Larson, attorney Mark V. Larson devotes his practice to representing the rights and entitlements of a diverse range of clients throughout Southern California who have legal needs involving any of the following:
· Workers' compensation
· Employment Law
Coming from a long line of attorneys in his family, Larson witnessed firsthand the tactics insurance companies would use to reduce or deny claims for the injured and disabled. Through this experience, he developed a deep and abiding passion for assisting those in need, and he has achieved notable success fighting against insurance providers on behalf of his plaintiff clients to help them recover the full amount of compensation and benefits they deserve.
Fully committed to providing the highest level of advocacy and support possible to those he serves, Larson limits the number of cases he handles at any given time to ensure he can devote more of his attention on each one of his clients. Throughout his career, he has earned a reputation for providing compassionate counsel to his clients while aggressively pursuing the most favorable outcomes possible for them both inside and outside the courtroom.
After earning his undergraduate degree from California Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo, Larson attended Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, where he obtained his Juris Doctor, and he received his license to practice from The State Bar of California in 2012.
From the time he was 17 years old, Larson served as law clerk at his brother's law firm and continued to work at the firm after becoming an attorney. There, he gained invaluable experience handling cases involving traumatic brain injuries, medical malpractice and other catastrophic injuries. He then joined his uncle's law firm, where he focused primarily on workers' compensation claims. Later on, he partnered with a longtime employment law attorney, Jeffrey C. McIntyre, to form a second law firm that focuses exclusively on complex litigation on employment law cases..
Through these experiences as well as the success he has achieved at his law firm, Mr. Larson has become one of the region's leading attorneys for workers' compensation and is becoming recognized in the employment law world.
Larson has been interviewed and discussed in Forbes, as well as many other news and media outlets.

OVER 40 YEARS OF WINNING CASES AND MORE THAN HALF A BILLION DOLLAR FOR OUR CLIENTS Larson, Larson & Dauer has provided the highest quality workers' compensation representation for its clients, and achieved a high recognition for its work in this field. This includes providing representation for injured workers in the aerospace industry, involvement in toxic exposure litigation against Lockheed Martin, and assisting firefighters through the complexities of California's workers' compensation law. We represent a wide variety of injured workers, including peace officer, teachers, city, county and state workers, truck drivers, nurses, caretakers, retail workers and office professionals. Please note that we are extremely knowledgeable in dealing with all of the issues that often arise within the workers' compensation system. This includes labor code violations, serious and willful claims, Medicare, annuities and structured settlements, vocational rehabilitation, home health care services and home modifications. Mark Larson Bio Mark Larson is a partner at Larson, Larson & Dauer, ALC. Mark's practice is primarily focused on workers' compensation and personal injury. Born into a family of attorneys, Mark has grown up watching insurance companies repeatedly deny benefits to those that have been injured by their insured. This is how Mark began to develop a passion for the law and fighting against insurance companies. Whether it is a workers' compensation case or a personal injury matter, Mark has made it his goal and business practice to keep his caseload manageable so that he can give each client the individualized attention that they need. He has found that this increases the overall value of each respective case and increasing the success of his firm. Most importantly, it ensures that each client costs the insurance companies as much money as possible, while obtaining the maximum amount of money for his clients. Prior to coming to work at Larson, Larson & Dauer, ALC., Mark had been working in civil litigation at his older brother's personal injury law firm Carpenter, Zuckerman & Rowley, LLP. Mark started working for this firm as a law clerk, at the age of 17. Mark continued working at this law firm throughout law school until he eventually became an attorney. After becoming an attorney, Mark continued developing his skills and moved into complex litigation involving traumatic brain injuries, medical malpractice, amputations and other permanently disabling injuries. Mark was eventually approached with a job offer by his Uncle Timothy A, Larson. Timothy A. Larson immediately began to mentor Mark and assist him in understanding the many complexities of workers' compensation. Tim taught Mark how to maximize the value of a case, while ensuring each client's best interests were being considered. Mark has taken the teachings from his uncle and combined it with his prior personal injury experience to become one of the younger recognized workers' compensation attorneys in Los Angeles. Like his uncle, Mark prides himself in assisting clients that have sustained very serious injuries while working, including but not limited to amputations, severe burns, head trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder, smoke inhalation, cancer and various orthopedic injuries. Mark specifically enjoys assisting his: California Highway Patrol; Police; Sheriff; and Firefighter clients. This is due in part to having a long family history of relatives that work in all of these fields. Mark graduated from Southwestern Law School and attended California Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo for his Undergraduate work. Mark continues to build on the solid foundation and training established by his uncle and is hopeful that one day he will be as recognized and as well respected by his peers as his uncle., What is a Deposition?, All Legal Industries, Workers' Compensation, 2020

- Earlier this week, I spoke with Mark Larson of Larson, Larson & Dauer where he covers workers’ compensation cases. Larson tells me, “The entire workers’ compensation system, like everything, is political and due to the insurance companies unlimited money to lobby for legal changes that protect their own interests, the system is becoming highly complex and much worse than it has ever been.” Critiquing the system overall Larson tells me that if the workers’ compensation system were allowed to function as was its original design, there would be fewer claims and bureaucratic processes than result in low settlements. In fact, just last month the discussion around freelancers and workers’ compensation came to a head in California where businesses are being challenged by a potential law which would make it harder for them to classify workers as independent contractors in order to avoid paying unemployment insurance taxes and workers’ compensation premiums., Contributing author at Forbes, Interviewed and Contributor, https://www.forbes.com/sites/julianvigo/2019/08/08/virtual-freelancers-and-the-future-of-human-employment/#7f1a5f0550d4, General, 2019
