The busy highways of the city are the site of many crashes. These include I-80, I-580, I-880, CA-185, CA-24 and CA-13. Accidents can happen on Broadway, MacArthur Boulevard, or neighborhood side streets. Dangerous intersections see many crashes, such as: 

  • Fruitvale Ave & E 17th St
  • International Blvd & High St
  • International Blvd & Seminary Ave
  • International Blvd & Hegenberger Rd
  • 10th St & Market St
  • 8th St & Center St
  • 24th St & Broadway
  • 7th St (E) & I-880 (E)

Accidents happen when people go to work or head out to visit Middle Harbor Shoreline Park, Jack London Square, or the Oakland Museum of California. One negligent driver who was speeding, texting, or running a red light can turn a routine drive into a nightmare. Wherever your accident happened, a lawyer can help you hold the negligent driver accountable.

Insurance companies don't have your best interests in mind. They are always concerned about the bottom line, so they aim to keep payments as low as possible. Their adjusters and lawyers use many tactics to try to limit compensation. They may question the extent of your injuries. They may seek access to your medical records to argue that your injuries were pre-existing. One of the most common tactics is the settlement offer. An adjuster may contact you soon after the crash with the insurance company's offer. It may seem tempting to accept as your medical bills start going up. But their offer will fall far short of covering the damages you suffered.

A law firm can determine the total extent of your injuries by reviewing medical records from the facility that treated you, such as Highland Hospital, Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center, Alta Bates Summit Medical Center/Summit Campus, or Carbon Health Urgent Care. Their legal team can investigate your accident to get the facts about what happened, using information from the accident report completed by the Oakland Police Department or California Highway Patrol. Your lawyer can build a strong case that insurance companies can’t ignore and work on negotiating a settlement that meets your needs. If the insurance company won’t negotiate, a lawyer can take your case to a jury. 

All of these attorneys have experience representing clients who were injured in Alameda County. They know the laws in California and are not intimidated by insurance company tactics. They understand the impact an injury from a car accident can have on victims and fight for the best possible outcome. Their work has resulted in financial compensation their clients needed during difficult times.

All of these lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. That means there is no upfront cost to you. These firms pay all expenses to move your case through the legal system. Your lawyer will deal with the insurance company on your behalf and keep you informed of the progress of your claim. You owe nothing unless they recover financial compensation for you.
