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 require an experienced California injury attorney who understands the complexities of 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, which also requires an experienced attorney who is willing to fight for a fair settlement.

Wrongful Death Claims

Losing a loved one in a traumatic motor vehicle accident is shocking and emotionally draining. It will likely change your life forever. Sadly, it can also be a financial burden. Our experienced motor vehicle accident attorneys are sensitive and compassionate but also tough on those whose negligent actions caused the death of your family member. We have successfully represented many families who are missing a loved one. Because the laws regarding wrongful death cases are more complex than personal injury cases, you need a knowledgeable legal team that can deliver meaningful results. No amount of money will ever replace your loved one, but having the confidence that you can handle their financial affairs after they are gone will eliminate some of your worries going forward.
