Injured in a Car Accident?
We’re On Your Side

Picking Up the Pieces After a Car Crash

Whether you’re the driver, passenger, or pedestrian, car accidents are traumatic events that can change the course of your life in an instant. On top of your injuries, you may feel scared to drive again or to walk down the street in your neighborhood. We understand your feelings of pain and fear, and we’ll do everything we can to help you feel like your old self again. Our team has won enormous settlements for car accident victims, and we’ll strive to do the same for you.

Do I Need a Lawyer for My Car Accident Case?

If you have auto insurance, you may believe you have sufficient protection after a collision. However, insurance companies routinely fight to award you the minimum payout. They may also try to pin some of the blame on you, which would reduce your compensation under California’s “at-fault law.”

As such, it’s always worth speaking to an attorney after an accident. A legal professional can help you pick yourself up after a collision, collect the facts, and obtain the largest possible settlement. That compensation may not change what happened, but it can make all the difference moving forward after an accident.

Our Winning Strategy

While every situation is unique, we apply the same three-step strategy to every car accident case.

Assembling the Evidence

Car accidents happen fast, and the cleanup happens even faster. That’s why it’s essential to act quickly. From the moment you contact us, we begin diligently gathering all available evidence: taking photos of the vehicles involved, speaking to eyewitnesses, and communicating with the insurance companies.

Preparing the Case

With all the facts assembled, we start building an airtight case. Leaning on experience from past car accident cases and our network of industry connections, we put together a narrative that outlines the order of events and the damages caused. This strategy puts us in the best possible position for whatever comes next.

Going the Distance

No matter how the other side responds, we’re ready. If the case proceeds to trial, we’ll fight for you tooth and nail, making sure you leave satisfied. If they want to settle outside the courtroom, we’ll turn up the pressure, ensuring any payout covers all physical, emotional, and financial damages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to settle a car accident claim?2024-08-01T12:15:15+00:00

With so many variables involved, estimating the length of a case can be difficult. Depending on the severity of your accident and the trajectory of the case, it could take upwards of two years to settle, though you may reach a resolution sooner. It’s crucial to work with an experienced firm like United Citizen Law to ensure your case goes smoothly.

Should I contact the DMV after an accident?2024-08-01T12:15:21+00:00

In most cases, yes. If someone died in the accident, the DMV must be notified within ten days. Injuries and property damage over $1,000 also require involvement from the DMV. If you’re unsure, an attorney can assist you. We can help you determine whether or not the DMV needs to be contacted and fill out any paperwork on your behalf (such as the SR-1 form).

How soon should I seek legal representation after a car accident?2024-08-01T12:15:36+00:00

Always reach out to an attorney as soon as possible. In California, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. For a property damage case (which includes damages to your vehicle), you have three years. While that may seem like plenty of time, it can take months to build a strong case against the party who did you wrong. With that in mind, it’s vital to seek help immediately after your incident so any evidence can be discovered and documented.

United Citizen Law: Your #1 Choice for Car Accident Cases

Many law firms can take on car accident cases, but few have the firsthand experience to understand how you’re feeling. When you partner with United Citizen Law, you’ll work with an attentive, seasoned lawyer who dedicated his life to law because of his experience as a car crash victim. With unparalleled knowledge from both sides, we have everything we need to fight for justice.
