Automobile/Bicycle/Motorcycle Accidents

When you receive injuries resulting from an accident caused by the fault of another, it is essential that you hire a qualified Bay Area Personal Injury Lawyer such as Matt Wertheim, Esq.

Just because the other person was at fault does not mean that you will be properly treated by doctors or the responsible party's insurance company. This is why as soon as possible you should have an attorney-client privileged communication with a lawyer who can help guide you and make sure the legal process is a pleasant and successful one, especially when you are struggling with injuries, bills, insurance forms, etc.

"My daughter was pregnant and involved in a head on accident in Napa that caused her injuries and the unfortunate loss of her baby. As you can imagine, we were all devastated. My daughter was so distraught that she could not handle the process of picking a lawyer, meeting with a lawyer, etc. We were referred to Matt and all I can say is "thank god!" He was so easy to work with and ultimately got for my daughter an absolutely unexpected and fantastic settlement. We could not be happier with the work Matt did on behalf of my daughter."
