Auto Accidents

Attorneys at Needham, Kepner, Fish & Jones have a proven track record of helping the victims of car accidents and their families throughout the Bay Area, California, particularly serious accidents resulting in catastrophic injuries or accidental death.

We understand the devastating impact that a car accident can have on you and your family.  By performing a full investigation, our experienced personal injury attorneys can identify the precise cause or causes of the accident, including motorist error, defective parts, or a dangerous condition on the roadway.  Using our extensive trial experience and skill at negotiating with insurance companies, we advocate on your behalf, fighting to obtain the recovery you deserve. 

Sources of Financial Assistance

Our clients' foremost concern is often with the financial costs of an injury, particularly when it requires expensive medical care and prevents them from working.  In addition to helping you seek recovery through settlement negotiations or a lawsuit, our attorneys can assist you with obtaining financial assistance from other possible sources.  If you have health insurance through your employer, it will usually cover at least some of your medical treatment; you might also be able to access the personal injury coverage included in your own car insurance policy. 

Dealing with Insurance Companies

In most car accident cases, you will have to deal directly with an insurance company, either your own, or that of the other driver.  It is important to remember that insurance companies are motivated by profit, and consequently have one goal: to pay out as little as possible.  An attorney with a proven record of successful trial verdicts can dramatically increase your chances of obtaining a fair settlement.  While most car accident cases are resolved through settlement, the other side is more likely to offer a fair amount if it knows your representation has the ability to take the case to trial if the offer is too low.  For examples of our past successful results, please see the verdicts and settlements page.
