Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys In Oakland, CA

If you’re an Oakland resident and you happen to drive, you already know that the city has its fair share of car accidents. While California law requires all drivers to carry insurance, the insurance companies are often going to pay the minimum for any car accident-related damage. If you are involved in an accident- even if the insurance company is taking their time deliberating- having the Oakland car accident lawyers at Kuvara Law Firm on your side can help ensure that you get a fair settlement.

Despite the occasional chill from the Bay, Oakland has a great urban environment for alternative transportation- including bicycles. Unfortunately, cyclists don’t have the same protection that drivers enjoy and, as a result, are much more likely to sustain serious injury in an accident. If you have been in a bicycle accident, especially if this was the fault of a careless driver, Kuvara Law Firm in Oakland can help.

Like cyclists, pedestrians are also vulnerable to cars. While the rules of the road often give pedestrians priority at designated crossings, a distracted or careless driver can cause the pedestrian serious injury. People on foot may also be vulnerable to motorcycles or bicycles or even trucks. If you’ve been in an accident as a pedestrian, you have likely sustained more serious injury, which means that getting compensation for medical care is a priority. The Oakland personal injury lawyers at Kuvara Law Firm is here to help ensure that you get a fair settlement in a timely manner.

Motorcycles are considered a risky form of transportation because you are reaching higher speeds without the traditional protections of an automobile. If you have an accident while riding your motorcycle, you are much more likely to sustain dangerous injury. Unfortunately, not all drivers are attentive and considerate about sharing the road. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, insurance will provide compensation. However, insurance companies do as much as possible to minimize their payout and to delay settlement. At Kuvara Law Firm in Oakland, we want to make sure that you have more than enough to cover your bills.

When you are on someone else’s property, your safety, to an extent, becomes their responsibility. If you are injured in someone’s house or by someone’s pet, that individual may be responsible for your medical bills. A premises liability lawyer can help you figure out whether a claim is justified in your particular situation.

As a large city, Oakland has all types of vehicles on the road. Trucks, in particular, can be intimidating because of their sheer size and weight. Even if you own a larger vehicle, you are still unlikely to fare well in a collision with a commercial truck. Truck accidents can result from a variety of factors, which is why many truck accident victims struggle with obtaining compensation. A Kuvara Law Firm truck accident lawyer will be happy to help you figure out your next steps.

Death is the worst possible outcome of an accident. The thought that a death could have been prevented may be a lot to bear. But if you do think that the accident was avoidable, an Oakland personal injury attorney can help you fight for justice by filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
