Rear-End Collision
"My car was totaled in a rear end collision on the 101. It took a while, but after 2 years I finally received my settlement and it was far more than I ever could have received doing it on my own.

Recent results
Verified outcomes from our Case Vault
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts.
They run the same plays every time.
Six tactics adjusters lean on after a crash, how we counter each one, and why listening to your story first changes the outcome.
The fast, friendly lowball
What the adjuster does
Get an offer on the table before the client knows what their injury will really cost, and before a lawyer is involved.
What we do
We value the claim the way an adjuster's own software does, including future care, then build the evidence to go past it.
"The impact was too minor to hurt anyone"
What the adjuster does
Point to small repair estimates and argue a low-speed crash can't cause a serious injury.
What we do
We connect the mechanism of injury to the medicine with treating physicians and imaging, not repair invoices.
Blame a pre-existing condition
What the adjuster does
Dig through prior medical records and attribute every symptom to something that happened before the crash.
What we do
Treating-physician testimony that separates new trauma from old history.
Blame someone who isn't there
What the adjuster does
Invent a cause: a phantom vehicle, the victim's own inattention, a hazard 'anyone could see'.
What we do
Reconstruct what really happened and hold the line through litigation.
"The policy limit is all there is"
What the adjuster does
Tender the at-fault driver's limits and hope you stop looking.
What we do
We hunt every source of coverage, including your own underinsured motorist policy.
Deny liability outright
What the adjuster does
Refuse to accept fault and make the family fight for every inch, hoping they give up.
What we do
Independent investigation, federal trucking regulations, and a willingness to try the case.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts.
