Hundreds of car accidents happen every day in Northern California. Most are preventable, with the cause usually coming down to driver negligence.

We can tell you whether you are entitled to be compensated during a free consultation.

Why Choose Our Redwood City Personal Injury Law Firm?

  • We approach every case as if it will go to trial. That way, we are better prepared than our adversary and have the advantage in settlement negotiations.
  • We have the resources necessary to conduct a full investigation to uncover the truth about your case – allowing us to pursue the maximum compensation possible.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring a Redwood City Car Accident Lawyer?

In many cases, injured parties hesitate to contact a personal injury attorney because they believe insurance companies will handle them in good faith. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case, for insurance companies look out for their own interests. Hiring a car wreck attorney can net you the following benefits:

  • A deep investigation of your accident: Our firm will go the distance to obtain all of the necessary evidence of damages to you and your vehicle. Although you may have taken photographs of the accident scene, our lawyers will go back to the scene and collect our own evidence.
  • Negotiation with insurance companies: We’ll communicate with the other driver’s insurer and insurance adjuster on your behalf. Because the insurance adjuster is the one with the pocketbook, it is imperative for your lawyer to have good communications and a good relationship with the adjuster.
  • Maximize your settlement: We do our due diligence to make sure insurance companies do not take advantage of you and deal out a measly settlement.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Redwood City, California

If you’re involved in an accident, stay at the scene. Exchange pertinent information with the other driver, such as name and insurance information. Call 911 and request a police officer at the scene. The police report can be valuable evidence for your case. Seek medical care promptly for any personal injuries you may have. Keep copies of your medical records and bills. Do not speak with any representative of the at-fault driver’s insurance company, regardless of whether he or she says they’d like to “open a claim.” They are not on your side. Next, contact a Redwood City personal injury lawyer to help you obtain fair compensation for your injuries.
