Personal Injury Overview

San Mateo Attorney: Accident Injury Claims

Not every tragic accident entitles the injured person, or, in the case of a fatal accident, family members, to a claim for compensation. However, it is important, if a member of your family has sustained a serious accidental injury, such as brain damage or a spinal cord injury, that you discuss your case with an experienced lawyer and see that no source of compensation is overlooked. If you would like attorney Reuben J. Donig to review your case, please contact our San Mateo office and arrange a free consultation. Our personal injury firm serves clients throughout California's San Francisco Bay area.

Establishing liability for an accident or injury

Often a single event, such as a car or trucking accident, will entitle an injured person to several claims under automobile and health insurance policies, including provisions for personal injury protection and uninsured/underinsured motorist protection. Additional claims may be available if there was negligence on the part of another driver, the manufacturer of a defective product that contributed to the crash, or a government agency responsible for maintaining the roadway. It is important to identify all possible claims and coordinate them so the victim receives the maximum benefit possible.

Our attorney gives you the information — you make the decisions
