If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident in California, you need a law firm that understands both the legal system and the medical realities of serious injuries. At Geller Legal – Personal Injury Attorneys, we represent individuals and families across California who have been hurt in car crashes, truck accidents, motorcycle collisions, and pedestrian incidents.

Insurance companies move quickly to protect their bottom line. We move strategically to protect you.

California Car Accident Lawyer

Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in California. From congested Los Angeles freeways to Bay Area commuter traffic, negligence behind the wheel causes life-changing harm every day.

We handle:

• Rear-end collisions

• T-bone and intersection crashes

• Head-on collisions

• Multi-vehicle freeway accidents

• Hit-and-run cases

• Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims

Even low-speed collisions can cause serious injuries such as concussions, herniated discs, nerve damage, and chronic pain conditions. We work closely with treating physicians and specialists to document the full extent of your injuries under California personal injury law.

California Truck Accident Attorney

Commercial truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of tractor-trailers. These cases are more complex than standard car accidents because they may involve:

• Trucking companies

• Corporate insurance carriers

• Independent contractors

• Maintenance providers

• Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations

We act immediately to preserve black box data, driver logs, dashcam footage, and maintenance records. Early investigation is critical in California truck accident cases.

Motorcycle Accidents in California

Motorcyclists face unique risks on California roads. Drivers frequently fail to see riders or fail to yield the right of way.

Motorcycle accident injuries often include:

• Road rash and permanent scarring

• Orthopedic fractures

• Spinal cord injuries

• Traumatic brain injuries

Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame onto the rider. We rely on medical evidence, accident reconstruction, and traffic law analysis to establish liability and protect your claim.

California Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Pedestrians and cyclists are especially vulnerable in urban areas throughout California. These cases frequently involve:

• Crosswalk violations

• Distracted driving

• Speeding in residential neighborhoods

• Failure to yield

When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian or cyclist, injuries are often severe. We thoroughly investigate liability and pursue full compensation under California negligence law.

Common Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents in California

Most serious crashes are caused by driver negligence, including:

• Distracted driving (texting or phone use)

• Driving under the influence

• Speeding

• Fatigued driving

• Unsafe lane changes

• Running red lights or stop signs

Under California law, injured victims must prove negligence. We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, expert opinions, and scene evidence to build a strong claim.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Motor vehicle accidents in California frequently result in:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Concussions

• Neck and back injuries

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Nerve impingement

• Broken bones

• Internal injuries

• Soft tissue damage

• Emotional trauma and PTSD

Some injuries do not appear immediately. Prompt medical treatment protects both your health and your personal injury claim.

Compensation Available in a California Car Accident Case

If another driver’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Economic Damages

• Medical expenses (past and future)

• Lost wages

• Loss of earning capacity

• Property damage

• Out-of-pocket costs

Non-Economic Damages

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Loss of enjoyment of life

California does not cap pain and suffering damages in most motor vehicle accident cases. Insurance companies often undervalue claims. We calculate damages based on medical evidence, long-term prognosis, and financial impact.

California Statute of Limitations for Car Accidents

In most California personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.

Claims against a California government entity require a formal claim to be filed within six months.

Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to recovery. Early legal consultation is critical.

What to Do After a Car Accident in California

1. Seek immediate medical attention.

2. Call law enforcement and obtain a traffic collision report.

3. Take photographs of the vehicles and scene.

4. Exchange insurance and contact information.

5. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters without legal counsel.

6. Contact a California motor vehicle accident attorney.

The first days after a crash can significantly affect the value of your case.
