Uninsured Motorist Accident Attorney

Uninsured Motorist Accident Lawyer Woodland Hills, CA

Uninsured Motorist Accident Lawyer Woodland Hills, CA

You need an expert lawyer if you have been in a car accident with a negligent driver who either carries no automobile liability or less than adequate liability insurance. Barry P. Goldberg has decades of experience in personal injury, but especially Uninsured Motorist and Underinsured Motorist Car Accidents in California. Our legal team can both navigate the complex insurance coverage issues and maximize your recovery for property damage and bodily injuries.

Mr. Goldberg not only does represents the “not at-fault” victims of uninsured drivers, he frequently provides legal advice to other practicing lawyers and law firms statewide. His legal team has personally handled thousands of claims with all of the variations of coverage, liability issues, and arbitration procedures. Furthermore, Barry has personally arbitrated hundreds of these types of cases from the beginning to the final award.


Don’t be Disappointed by Other, Less Experienced Attorneys

Most personal injury attorneys have handled a limited amount of uninsured and underinsured motorist claims as part of their general practice. Many of these cases get bogged down in the procedures and execution which would have otherwise led to a prompt and successful conclusion for their clients. Even after their case is concluded, most clients don’t know that their claim could have been resolved for more money, with less expense and considerably faster if their attorney was is an expert in these types of accidents. Most uninsured and underinsured motorist claims should be fully and finally resolved within 60 to 90 days after the client concludes medical treatment or is considered “permanent and stationary.”

Because more car, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents than ever in California involve uninsured and inadequately (or under) insured drivers, it is more important than ever that the victims of these accidents have an expert on their side to maximize the potential financial recovery.

 

What Happens When a Drunk Driver Does Not Have Accident Insurance?

Drunk driving is an unfortunate epidemic in the United States, as a uninsured motorist accident lawyer for Woodland Hills, CA knows. There has been research that has found on average around 25,000 people are arrested each week for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It has also been found that that is just a tiny percentage of the total number of alcohol-impaired driving each week in the United States. After seeing this data, it is not surprising that in the US, one in three car accident deaths involve an intoxicated driver.

The team at Barry P. Goldberg works hard to prevent drunk driving before it ever happens by supporting proper training in place for locations that serve alcohol, such as restaurants, bars, and sport stadiums. However, most uninsured motorist accident lawyers in Woodland Hills, CA mainly help victims after an accident has already taken place. An unfortunately common situation we deal with is when someone has been injured in a car accident with a drunk driver and the police gave the drunk driver a DUI and a citation for driving without insurance. Is it possible to file a lawsuit if the drunk driver does not have insurance?

There are three top ways that an Woodland Hills, CA uninsured motorist accident lawyer may help you receive compensation in a lawsuit for drunk driving when the at-fault driver does not have insurance. In each of these instances, it will need to proven that the driver was intoxicated but also that the driver was the cause of the accident.

 

  • The Plaintiff’s Insurance Company: The plaintiff most likely has access to their own uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance coverage. With these insurance benefits, if someone was injured in a car crash due to a drunk driver, they are eligible to receive some type of compensation from their own insurance company for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and losses. Oftentimes, this compensation is not a lot, however, if the plaintiff is able to receive it, it can help them get back on their feet and help pay their bills. An experienced uninsured motorist accident lawyer for Woodland Hills, CA may be able to get the victim additional compensation.
  • Drunk Driver Held Responsible: If the intoxicated driver does not have car insurance, they could have financial assets. If this is the case, it might still make sense to pursue a claim against them. There could be a fear of a drunk driver declaring bankruptcy to avoid  being liable for negligence, however, if the driver was found to be at-fault and are able to pay the plaintiff an appropriate amount, the courts will make sure that happens.
  • Businesses Illegally Serving the Drunk Driver: Dram shop laws indicate that anyone who was injured by a drunk driver in a car accident is allowed to sue the bar or restaurant that served alcohol to someone who was clearly intoxicated. It is illegal to serve someone more alcohol when they are “physically intoxicated” and therefore could be held partially responsible for the car accident. If a location served alcohol without a liquor license, they could be liable for any accident caused by one of their patrons. Any restaurant or bar that serves alcohol to someone under the legal drinking age can also be liable for any accidents caused by the minor’s use of alcohol.

    • Results Oriented, Trustworthy and Knowledgeable

      I suffered through a not-my-fault auto accident in January of 2010. Unfortunately the opposing insurance company is well known for it’s habitual delays of paying plaintiffs.
      Barry Goldberg did an excellent job of pursuing Mercury on my behalf until we reached a more than fair settlement. He is fair, knowledgeable, kept me well informed through the months of interaction with opposing Counsel and acheived a great result considering all the circumstances. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a personal injury lawsuit! Should a prospective client wish to speak with me about working with Mr. Goldberg, please contact him for my information.

    • Highly Knowledgeable and Responsive

      As an attorney with a legal matter outside my area of expertise, one involving my own family member, I decided to contact Mr. Goldberg after viewing some of his quality legal work. His grasp of the particulars was very impressive, as was his advice in regard to proceeding forward. His speedy and friendly response was refreshing, highlighting an engaged and highly competent professional.

      Personal Injury Client
    • Negotiating a Settlement and Social Media

      Really appreciate the legal guidance I received from Mr. Goldberg. I did not feel my insurance company had my best interest in mind and I reached out for legal council. It was clear Mr. Goldberg was an expert not only in personal injury cases but the use of Facebook posts and Tweets as evidence. I will definitely work with Mr. Goldberg again in the future and will recommend him to my family and friends.

    • I was hit by a SUV while cycling in Santa Monica and was referred to Barry by a cycling friend (who was also a lawyer). Barry and his staff were professional and very easy to work with and negotiated a fair settlement with the drivers insurance company for the damage to my bike and for my medical bills and injuries. Unlike the run-in with the SUV (or going to the dentist), it was about as painless an experience as I could have hoped for.

    • I initially called a different attorney to handle my case. He didn’t file the DMV forms and got my license suspended due to negligence. He also stopped answering the phone for a solid 6-8 months.

      One day I began to search for a new attorney and I found Barry. He took over my case, knowing that it was a mess and he would have to put in extra work for free. He immediately took control and got everything in motion. My case was resolved in my favor, faster than I had anticipated.

      I was kept up-to-date at all times, even when I didn’t call them. Sarah was sure to update me anytime new info came in. I would recommend Barry to my family. This is a great law office, so there’s no need to continue searching around and worrying who to call. You have found the people you are looking for. They also have a nice office for the times you need to stop by.

      Here’s the attorney you have been searching for: Barry Goldberg

    • I was involved in a car accident about a year ago, t-boned by another car which ran a red light. I found myself with a huge hospital bill, several other bills, a totaled car, phone calls and letters every day, and no one to turn to for help. I attempted to do things on my own, and quickly got in over my head. A friend found Barry’s website, so after a couple months of being stressed and overwhelmed, I gave him a call and we set up a free consultation.

      The office is easy to find, very clean and professional. I met Barry and his assistant Sarah, and immediately felt comfortable and relaxed with them. Barry sat and listened and talked with me, giving advice for TWO hours instead of the agreed one hour! He was so genuine, so kind, and truly cared about my situation and wanted to help. A few days later I hired him, and it was the best decision I could’ve made!!!

      Barry and Sarah always kept me in the loop with phone calls and emails of progress with my claims. They are persistent and efficient, and have won way more money for me than I could have ever gotten fighting this case on my own! Everything on their end has been fast- responses, updates, issuing checks- and with attention to detail. The only reason it has taken a year to wrap up has been waiting on the hospital/insurance/others to respond to the firm.

      A tremendous burden was lifted off my shoulders when I hired this firm, and I am immensely pleased with their service and support!!! SO many thanks to the Goldberg law office!!! I’d recommend them any time 🙂
