Frequently Asked Questions
What if I caused a car accident but the other driver was texting and driving?
California law allows us to recover compensation against negligent drivers even if you are partially at fault. If the other driver was doing something negligent that also partially caused the accident, you can still receive compensation for damages.
Do car accident attorneys also help injured bicyclists?
We can’t speak for all personal injury lawyers, but we certainly help bicyclists when they are injured in an accident.
Will my car accident case go to trial?
About 90% of automobile claims are settled out of court. Of course, when the other party is unrealistic and not offering enough money then the case may go to trial. It is important to understand the litigation process and to have the ability to go to trial if that’s what is necessary.
A recent review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was in an accident where my car was totaled. At first, I thought I could handle things by myself but then my pain began to get much worse. I hired Allen based on the recommendation of a friend and he did not disappoint. He was very fast in answering my calls and emails. He also got me the maximum settlement from the other person’s insurance and then got me compensation from my insurance too. – James
