Accidents We Handle for Berkeley Clients

We represent people hurt in car accidents, multi-car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and Uber and Lyft accidents. Each of those links to a page that explains how these claims work.

What Makes Berkeley Accidents Different

Streets such as University Avenue and Telegraph Avenue see heavy foot and bike traffic, and Interstate 80 carries commuter traffic along the edge of the city. Bicycle and pedestrian accidents can raise questions about fault and insurance coverage.

What to Do After an Accident in Berkeley

  1. Call 911 and get medical attention, even if you feel okay.

  2. Photograph the scene, vehicles, signals, and your injuries.

  3. Exchange information and get witness contact details.

  4. Note any nearby businesses with cameras, because footage can be erased quickly.
