Mr. Rosenberg is a walking library of information of law. I've never met an attorney who has such a tremendous wealth of knowledge in the broad spectrum of law. Mr. Rosenberg can easily tackle difficult accident cases, criminal cases, tricky employment cases, complex divorce cases or even a pesky traffic ticket. He has won cases on my behalf and I highly recommend David Rosenberg.

Karo is the most gentle, understanding attorney I've ever had, and he really is able to give you a picture of your situation from both the ground level, and at 30,000 feet. He was so good at informing me of all the contingencies I should expect to deal with along the way, and we talked extensively about those contingencies and how we might deal with them if they arise. When you have a lawyer who is able to give you insight into all the unexpected things that might pop up along the way, you feel much better prepared and much less nervous. Every other lawyer I've ever had just makes things worse and makes me more anxious than before I retained them. It makes you wonder "why did I even hire a lawyer at all if they are going to only raise my anxiety levels?" Karo was the exact opposite of that. He made me feel confident and sure of my position. But what surprised me most about Karo is that despite his gentle nature, he is quite a fierce litigator. And he is worth his weight in gold on so many levels. Thank you for everything you've done for me, Karo!

He responds in an extreme timely matter, he is very knowledgeable , trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you as him. I could not have been happier and I will never go anywhere else. I just want to thank him for fighting and standing by my side through my case.

From start to finish the DCD Law team did an incredible job. Art initially spoke with me and advised me as to a course of action and recommendations. We discussed all aspects of what was going on and what our goals were. We joined with them and the very next day, Lisa joined the team and did an outstanding job representing our interests and advocating for us. She was able to execute and complete the follow through discussed as the ideal outcome and made us feel heard and valued. She showed true compassion for us, and passion for justice, and was an excellent representative of her firm. Overall, truly an incredible team and while I hope we don't need their services again, I would not hesitate to work with them again. Very responsive and helpful and clear. Truly wonderful. Thank you DCD Law! - LdR

We worked with Lisa and she was amazing. She helped us super last minute and from the moment she was involved, she was all over the case. My mother in law called her “a little pitbull” because she was relentless when it came to advocating for us. This firm is a God send in general but I highly recommend working with Lisa if you can.

This law firm was incredibly helpful and provided thoughtful answers to every question I had. Mr Abraham and his group were always in touch, making sure I understood everything clearly. They took the time to explain things in simple terms which helped a lot in my journey. And which is most important they won the case which was denied 2 times with another attorney.

This was a previous review I wrote: 2018 - “I should have written this review for Susano Coria a long time ago. Not only is he a great lawyer but also a genuinely great guy. Many years ago I was rear-ended in my car and suffered a neck injury. Susano took on my case and worked to arrange a chiropractor and an MRI that would be covered free if I continued the case all the way through. After procedures were done, the case was moving along until I decided to stop the case as my neck was improving and I didn't want to pursue it. I discussed it with Susano. Instead of trying to talk me out of it, he discussed it with me in a supportive way and agreed that closing the case was best for me. When does that happen? He is this way with everyone. A genuine person. I can tell you he's the one you want in your corner. After backing out of the case, the doctor and the chiropractor wanted to be paid. Prior to that Susano said he would fix that for me if they contacted me. He kept his word. I was unemployed and could not pay that. Susano knew them and arranged to have the bills dropped. A year later I got a bill from the chiropractor. And again he took care of it. Wow. This is among other little things he did to make me feel comfortable. About a month ago I contacted him searching for a malpractice lawyer and he gave me some names but my case wasn't large enough for them. I let Susano know and he spoke to me on the phone and discussed it with me for a while. He got nothing out of it. Again after all these years he was still helpful with nothing in return even though I offered. So now I'm finally writing this review for this awesome guy and professional. You can't go wrong with Susano.” “New case: 2025” – I had a car accident with another driver and I suspected fraud. This case had been going on for 3 months. During this time I still had not met Susano in person. I wanted to hire him but I would need to be injured for him to take my case. I was not so he couldn’t but we spoke several times on the phone and texted as well helping me map it out with great information that really helped. At one point when I really needed to ask Susano an important question he called me and pointed out something that the insurance companies did not bring to my attention. I called them with the law info he gave me and within a few hours I was told I would get a settlement. I cannot begin to express this man's attention, knowledge and care he has in him that he gives to his clients. I finally met Susano in person at his establishment for coffee in his amazing law library. Very impressive! You're a wonderful guy and a great lawyer. Thank you for everything.

I have been in a couple of car accidents and needed help from an Attorney to know my rights when it comes to car accidents. I was recommended to Susano who took car of me through the process of getting the medical attention needed and if any fund might be awarded. I didn’t have to pay anything upfront and have the best results possible. I would highly recommend using Susanos firm to anyone in need.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You

A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.

If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:

  • Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
  • Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
  • Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
  • Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
  • Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
  • Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?

A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
  • Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
  • Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
  • Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
  • Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?

Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.

Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
  • Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer

Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with car accident cases?
    Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. What kind of compensation can I expect?
    Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  • Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
  • Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
  • Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
  • Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
  • Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
  • Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
  • Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
  • Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
  • List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
