Car Accident Lawyer Resources

A car crash compresses a lifetime of decisions into the seconds after impact. Whose insurance pays? Do you go to the ER or to urgent care? Do you talk to the other driver's adjuster when they call the next morning? In my 32 years handling auto cases, the single biggest predictor of how a claim ends is what the injured person does in the first 72 hours.

Car accident claims look simple on the surface and almost never are. Liability can be split across multiple drivers, comparative-fault rules can shrink a recovery if the other side paints you as partly to blame, and medical payments coverage, PIP, underinsured motorist coverage, and health insurance all interact in ways that determine how much money ends up in your pocket. State law drives most of this, and deadlines to file suit are strict and unforgiving.

At Goldberg & Loren, car accident claims are among the most common cases we handle. George Goldberg started on the defense side in 1994 representing airlines, which is exactly why he understands how insurers build files against injured people. Since switching to the plaintiff side in 1996, he has handled thousands of auto cases over three decades of practice, from soft-tissue rear-enders to catastrophic multi-vehicle wrecks.

Below you will find our library of articles on car accident law: what to do at the scene, how fault is decided, how diminished value and property damage work, how insurance companies calculate offers, and how to tell a fair settlement from a lowball one. The FAQ covers the questions we hear most often on the first call.
