Automobile & Motorcycle Accidents
If you have been a victim of a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, you deserve to be compensated. An unplanned collision takes a toll on your financial, physical, and emotional resources. Between vehicle repair bills, medical expenses, and increased insurance premiums, accidents are inconvenient, time-consuming, and expensive.
Our attorneys understand how important it is to you to obtain results quickly and cost-effectively. We can help you file suit against the individual or business entity that should be held accountable, whether or not insurance is involved. Our attorneys represent victims of accident and injury at settlement or trial.
California law limits the time you have to file your claim, and stipulates that:
- You have two years from the date of the accident, or two years from the date you discovered an injury to file your claim.
- Even if you were partially to blame for the accident, you may be able to recover at least some of your expenses. (California is a comparative fault state.)
Our attorneys advise you of your legal rights and options after an accident or injury.
We have a licensed attorney/registered nurse on staff, which enables us to respond faster in most cases involving significant injuries, including cases involving motorcycle accidents, head injuries, and helmet laws. Our attorneys have earned jury verdicts and settlements in the millions of dollars for our injured clients.
We defer payment until after we settle or win your case. If we do not obtain a money judgment for you, we do not get paid and you will not be charged for any of the costs of taking your case to trial.This is just one way we set your mind at ease as you struggle to bear the costs of an unplanned accident or injury.

Case Study: Motorcyclist Injured in Wild Pig CrossingMr. Biegel successfully proved that the California Department of Transportation's failure to respond to repeated warnings about the safety hazard posed by a wild pig crossing resulted in undue harm to his client. The client spent approximately five months in a coma and suffered permanent disablity. The case resulted in one of the largest personal injury verdicts in California, totaling $8.6 million. Learn more about the facts of the case or read more in articles published in the Monterey County Herald and USA Today. Case Study: Traffic AccidentsThe firm represented two off-duty police officers who were injured when their vehicle was hit by an eighteen wheel tractor trailer on Highway 5 in Stanislaus County. When the defendant's insurance company offered no money whatsoever to settle the case, Mr. Biegel tried the case to a Stanislaus County jury and obtained a substantial verdict, which was paid within 30 days of its rendition. Case Study: Bicyclist Injured By MotoristThe firm’s client was riding his bike down a hill in Monterey when a motorist, apparently blinded by the setting sun, made a precipitous left turn in front of him, causing him to come flying over the hook of the vehicle and crashing to the pavement. Our client lay dying on the street with his windpipe occluded when a passing emergency room doctor stopped and rendered first aid to save his life. He suffered throat (smashed adam’s apple) and substantial orthopedic injuries. Though claiming he never liked lawyers nor wanted to sue anyone, he hired the Biegel Law Firm which was able to settle the case after complex negotiations for a high six figure amount. Case Study: Pedestrian Struck By Commercial VehicleOur client was stopped on the side of the road fixing a flat tire, when an out-of-control water delivery truck smashed into him late one night. He suffered leg and hip injuries as a result. The driver of the delivery truck was legally drunk at the time of the accident. The Biegel Law Firm not only sued the driver, but also his employer. The driver had little or no insurance. His employer had a substantial amount of insurance. The employer’s lawyer contended his client had no liability for the accident, since the employee was not on duty and simply had permission to take the vehicle home at night in case of an "on call" emergency. After this defense was rejected by the Monterey County Superior Court, the case settled for a substantial six figure amount. See also: Case Study: Wrongful Death on Highway |
