Rear-end, intersection, head-on, and hit-and-run collisions across Los Angeles and California. We deal with the insurer so you can deal with recovery.
A serious car accident turns life upside down in seconds — and the at-fault driver’s insurance company starts working against you almost as fast. Adjusters call for recorded statements, push quick releases, and value your claim by algorithm. The Masjedian Law Firm answers with prepared, trial-ready prosecution of your claim.
Fault and your recovery. California is a fault state: the negligent driver and their insurer are responsible for the harm they cause. Under pure comparative negligence, you can recover even if you were partly at fault — your award is simply reduced by your share. We build the liability picture with the traffic collision report, scene photographs, witness statements, vehicle damage, and, where warranted, reconstruction.
What your claim can include. Emergency and ongoing medical care, future treatment, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, vehicle repair or total-loss value, and pain and suffering. Where the other driver fled or carried no insurance, we pursue your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage — a claim your own carrier still treats adversarially.
The first 72 hours matter. Get examined even if you feel “mostly fine” — soft-tissue and head injuries surface late, and treatment gaps become the insurer’s favorite exhibit. Photograph vehicles, plates, the scene, and visible injuries. Report the crash, and do not give the other carrier a recorded statement before speaking with counsel.
Why this firm. Your file is prepared as if it will be tried: demand packages built on complete medical records, timely expert workup, and a willingness to file suit when the number is wrong. Insurers price cases differently when the lawyer across the table actually litigates.
Check for injuries and call 911, exchange information, photograph everything, and seek medical care the same day if possible. Report the crash to your own insurer, but decline to give the other driver’s carrier a recorded statement until you have spoken with an attorney.
You can pursue an uninsured-motorist (UM) claim through your own policy if you carry UM coverage, which also applies to hit-and-run collisions in California. The firm handles the UM claim and, where the driver is identified, direct claims against them.
California’s general statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of injury (CCP § 335.1). Shorter deadlines can apply — notably a six-month government claim requirement when a public entity is involved — so it is best to speak with an attorney promptly.
Early offers almost always arrive before the full extent of injury is known and extinguish the claim forever once signed. Have the offer reviewed first — a consultation is free, and accepting prematurely is the most expensive mistake injury victims make.
These cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis. You pay nothing up front and owe no attorney’s fee unless the firm recovers money for you.
Submissions are reviewed directly by the attorney. Confidential.
