What We Do For You
Dedicated Legal Representation On Your Side

When you meet with us, we will explain your rights and help you determine how best to proceed. Our attorney and staff can help you protect your interests, secure your access to appropriate medical attention and pursue a claim against an insurer or responsible party to enable you to recover fair compensation for damages, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of companionship for those who have lost a loved one in a fatal accident

When an avoidable car wreck takes someone’s life, we are prepared to help that person’s loved ones pursue a wrongful death claim against the responsible party. While we know that no verdict or settlement can take away the pain that comes with losing a spouse or relative, we are committed to providing compassionate counsel and helping survivors protect their legal rights when pursuing fair compensation.

California Collision Statistics

A car accident happens every three minutes in California. The cumulative impact of these crashes is as alarming as their frequency. In 2019, 269,031 people (including 218,707 vehicle occupants) were injured and 3,737 people (including 1,987 vehicle occupants) were killed in California auto wrecks. For further context:

  • There were 187,211 injury crashes in 2019
  • There were 3,438 fatal crashes in 2019
  • One in 10,600 California residents was killed in a car accident in 2019
  • One in 148 California residents was injured in a car accident in 2019
  • Speed caused 31.4% of all collisions
  • 10.7% of all wrecks were hit-and-runs
  • There was at least one traffic fatality in California every day in 2019

If you are involved in a catastrophic car accident in California, seeking legal counsel can make a difference. Many California accident victims fail to collect the compensation they deserve. With a car accident lawyer on your side, maximizing your compensation becomes more realistic.

Your Questions, Answered

If you have been involved in a car, truck or motorcycle accident, it is normal to have questions. We’re here to provide clear answers to help you navigate this challenging time.

  • What Steps Should I Take After A Motor Vehicle Accident?
    We understand that accident scenes are often disorienting and chaotic. The most important thing is to seek immediate medical attention if necessary. Call an ambulance if anyone involved has been seriously hurt. The police will likely arrive at the scene to fill out an accident report. Answer their questions completely, but avoid admitting fault or accusing other drivers. If you can, gather names and insurance information from other parties involved in the accident and try to collect the names and phone numbers of witnesses at the accident scene.
  • Should I Notify My Insurance Company That I’ve Been In An Accident?
    You are legally obligated to tell your insurance company if you have had an accident, and to cooperate with its investigation. However, it is always wise to speak with an attorney before you give any statement to an insurance adjuster. An experienced personal injury lawyer can communicate with the insurance company on your behalf and protect your rights.
  • What If Another Driver’s Insurance Company Contacts Me?
    Do not give any statement to another motorist’s insurer. You are not required to do so, and giving a statement could seriously damage your claim. Rather, retain an experienced attorney to represent you in any communication and negotiation with insurers. From our offices in Hayward, California, the attorneys of the Law Offices of Leonard S. Becker, APC have handled many claims just like yours while holding insurers accountable.
  • How Will I Pay My Medical Bills?
    Legally, the responsible driver’s insurance company is supposed to cover your medical bills and other expenses stemming from an accident. However, too often, insurers try to pay as little as possible in order to save money. If an insurance company fails to pay what your claim is worth in a timely manner, a knowledgeable auto accident attorney can help you pursue full and fair compensation.

We Represent Victims Of All Types of Vehicle Accidents

Whether you were involved in a car, semi-truck, motorcycle, bus, bicycle, scooter, or a pedestrian accident, we’re here to help. If you were hurt due to the negligence of distracted or drunk drivers, we’ll fight for your rights.

  • Car accidents: When you are driving a car and become involved in a collision, it can result in serious property damage and physical injury. We have assisted the victims of a variety of accidents, including rear-end collisions, sideswipe accidents, head-on crashes and T-bone collisions.
  • Semi truck accidents: When a large truck or another type of commercial vehicle contributes to an accident, our lawyers help injured motorists determine who was at fault and take timely, aggressive legal action.
  • Motorcycle injuries: Because motorcycles offer less protection than cars, bikers frequently bear the serious brunt of accidents involving other vehicles. We help motorcyclists seek the medical care they need, protect their rights and pursue the appropriate compensation.
  • Bus and shuttle accidents: We assist people injured in accidents involving buses and other public transportation vehicles.
  • Bicycle and scooter accidents: We represent cyclists who have been unfairly injured because of a negligent driver.
