The Berkeley Auto Accident Attorneys at Needham Kepner & Fish LLP have a record of success in helping car accident victims and their families throughout California's Bay Area. We are particularly experienced in handling serious accidents that cause catastrophic injuries or death.
By performing a meticulous investigation, our experienced Berkeley automobile accident attorneys identify the causes of the accident, which can include motorist error, defective parts and dangerous road conditions. We apply our extensive trial experience and negotiation skills to deal with the insurance companies and fight for the compensation you deserve.
After an injury, one of your immediate concerns is how you will stay afloat financially while you are unable to work but are being inundated with medical bills. In addition to helping you seek recovery through settlement negotiations or a lawsuit, our Berkeley auto accident lawyers can help you get financial assistance from other sources. If you have health insurance through your employer, it may cover at least some of your medical treatment. You also might be able to collect from the personal injury/medical payments coverage in your own car insurance policy. When you need to know what to do after a car accident, our lawyers can guide you.
In most auto accident cases, your attorney negotiates with an insurance company, whether it's your own or that of the other driver. Insurance companies are for-profit corporations with a simple goal: to collect as much as possible in premiums and pay out as little as possible on claims. Car accident attorneys with a track record of favorable trial verdicts can dramatically increase your chances of obtaining a fair settlement with the insurance companies. Most auto accident cases are resolved through settlement, and the insurer is more likely to offer fair compensation if it is clear that your lawyers have the ability to win if the case goes to trial.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in an auto accident, consult our Berkeley Auto Accident Attorneys as soon as possible. We also handle motorcycle, bicycle and scooter accident cases throughout the Bay Area. To schedule a free consultation, contact Needham Kepner & Fish LLP today online or at 1-408-956-6949. We handle injury cases on a contingent fee basis, which means that you pay us nothing unless you recover compensation.
