    Injury Claims Involving Government Entities

    Sometimes, it is government employees or agencies that cause a motor vehicle accident. For example, if your accident involved public transportation or arose because an intersection was inherently dangerous, it may be the government agency responsible for the design and construction of the intersection that would be at fault. These cases may require the assistance of California injury attorneys who understand the complexities of filing a case against the government. For example, the statute of limitations is shorter in California for cases involving the government. In some cases, multiple defendants can be named in the lawsuit. With legal representation, you can navigate these complexities and work toward pursuing compensation.

    Wrongful Death Claims

    Losing a loved one in a motor vehicle accident can be challenging and often comes with financial burdens. Our motor vehicle accident attorneys have represented families seeking accountability against negligent parties for the harm they have caused. Since the laws regarding wrongful death cases can be more complex than personal injury cases, we are here to assist you in addressing these challenges. No amount of money will ever replace your loved one, but we could assist you with seeking compensation based on your injuries and losses.
