Do I Need to Hire a Oakland Car Accident Attorney?
A car accident lawyer at MVP Accident Attorneys will work tirelessly to build the strongest case possible and identify the negligent party. This means they'll conduct an in-depth accident investigation and gather valuable evidence. They'll also handle all of the complex legal paperwork so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
Accident Investigation
Once an auto accident attorney at our law firm takes your case, they will begin investigating the accident right away. They will gather evidence to help strengthen your claim for compensation.
Evidence can include:
- Police reports
- Video footage (if available)
- Photos of the accident scene, your injuries, vehicle damage
- Witness statements
- Expert witness testimony
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Pay stubs from your employer
And more.
Settlement Negotiations
A personal injury attorney will negotiate with an insurance company to help you obtain compensation. Insurance companies often try to pay out as little as possible on claims, but a skilled lawyer can help you get the full amount you deserve. They'll work to protect your claim and make sure you're not taken advantage of by the insurance company.
Trial-Tested Attorneys
If an insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, our trial-tested lawyers will prepare your case for court. During this time, we will continue to negotiate with the insurance adjuster for a fair settlement. In most cases, an insurance company will be more likely to offer a fair settlement once we have filed a lawsuit.
Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyers

- Rideshare passengers involved in an accident
