Considering Your Accident From Every Angle

In situations involving injury or damage resulting from an auto accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, it is common to overlook the possibility of your own insurance company or other parties being accountable for your expenses. My job, as a personal injury attorney, is to search out and recover all possible sources of funds. This may include holding municipalities or manufacturers of defective auto parts responsible.

A Notable Case

I represented a woman who suffered major injuries as a passenger in a collision. The negligent underinsured driver had only $15,000 in liability coverage, a fraction of my client's extensive medical bills. During discovery, I revealed that dangerous roadway conditions contributed to the crash. We also sued the City of Los Angeles for negligent road design, resulting in a total settlement of $100,500, and prompting the city to install a traffic signal at that intersection.

A Little Known Fact...

If you were struck by an uninsured or underinsured motorist while walking or riding a bicycle, you are still eligible to seek recovery from your auto insurance. If you do not own a car, you may be able to file a pedestrian accident claim against another member of your household's auto insurer.

Let the Discovery Begin

In many cases involving uninsured or underinsured drivers, insurance companies may try to dispute their liability. By calling me at 866-920-8376 as soon as possible following a car or truck accident, I can gather evidence while it is fresh, building a strong foundation for your claim.
