Personal Injury

After a serious accident, the insurance company goes to work immediately — and not on your behalf. Recorded statements, quick lowball offers, and requests to “just sign here” are designed to limit what they pay. The Masjedian Law Firm levels that field with sustained prosecution and direct attorney access, so you are never handed off to a case mill.

Cases we handle. We represent injured people across California in motor vehicle collisions, commercial truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, rideshare (Uber and Lyft) incidents, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, slip-and-fall and premises liability, dog bites, and other third-party negligence.

How a California injury claim works. California follows a fault system: the party who caused the harm, and their insurer, is responsible for the damages. Even if you were partly at fault, California’s pure comparative negligence rule still lets you recover, with your compensation reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Recoverable damages typically include medical expenses, lost wages, future care, property damage, and pain and suffering.

What to do early. Get medical attention and follow through with treatment — gaps in care are used against you. Photograph the scene, the vehicles, and your injuries, and keep a simple record of symptoms and missed work. Avoid giving the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement, and don’t accept an early offer before you understand the full extent of your injuries.

Should I talk to the other insurer? You are not required to give a recorded statement, and doing so early often hurts the claim. It is usually best to route those calls through your attorney.

How much is my case worth? It depends on the severity of your injuries, your treatment and recovery, lost income, and how clearly fault can be shown. A proper valuation comes after the medical picture is clear.
