What we handle — and what it takes to win it
Every one of these cases turns on evidence that expires. Below is the specific work each type demands, so you can judge whether the firm you are talking to actually does it.
OUR SPECIALTY
Uber & Lyft accidents
Whether $1,000,000 or $50,000 of coverage applies depends on the driver’s app status at impact. We subpoena trip data before it is purged.

MOST COMMON
Car accidents
Rear-end, intersection, lane-change, hit-and-run and uninsured driver claims. The property damage photo is often the whole liability fight.
How car accident claims work →
HIGH STAKES
Motorcycle accidents
Riders get blamed by reflex. We reconstruct the sequence from scrape patterns, gouge marks and helmet damage rather than the driver’s story.

COMMERCIAL
Truck & commercial vehicle
Federal logbooks, ECM data and maintenance records are the case — and carriers only have to keep some of them for six months.

VULNERABLE USERS
Pedestrian & bicycle accidents
Signal timing, crosswalk geometry and the video the police never pulled. Injuries are severe and blame-shifting is immediate.

PREMISES
Slip, trip and fall
These cases turn on notice: did the property owner know, or should they have? Maintenance logs and sweep sheets prove it — if requested in time.

ANIMAL ATTACKS
Dog bites
California imposes strict liability on owners. Homeowner and renter policies usually pay, and scarring claims are frequently undervalued.

FAMILIES
Wrongful death
Handled with the care a family deserves and the rigor a jury requires. We manage the claim so you can manage everything else.
