How we handle car accident cases
Insurance companies often make a low first offer before the full extent of an injury is known. We collect the police report, photos, witness statements and complete medical records, and we document future care and lost income before negotiating. Dr. Azadeh Keshavarz practiced as a chiropractor before becoming an attorney, so she can explain injuries in the medical terms adjusters and juries respond to.
California follows pure comparative negligence, so an injured person can recover damages even if partly at fault, reduced by their share of fault. Most injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident (California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1).
