Why It Matters Who Handles Your Case

Drivers and their insurers sometimes try to shift blame onto the pedestrian or cyclist. Overcoming that requires evidence and a clear account of what happened.

At Sim Law Offices, PC, you work directly with Brian. He documents the case carefully and applies steady pressure so the insurer has to deal with the facts and the real cost of your injuries.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the driver says I was at fault?

Insurers often try to shift blame, but fault is based on the evidence. We document what happened so the claim is judged fairly.

What if it was a hit-and-run?

You may still have options, including through your own insurance coverage. We can review your policy and explain how it applies.

Are these injuries usually serious?

Often yes, because there is little protection against a vehicle. We work to document long-term needs, not just immediate bills.

How much does it cost to hire you?

There is no attorney's fee unless we recover compensation for you. Costs and expenses are explained in your written fee agreement.

How soon should I act?

As soon as possible, so witnesses and evidence are preserved and you meet California's filing deadlines.
