Free, confidential case review

Injured in an accident?

Vehicle collisions, serious and catastrophic injury, wrongful death, dangerous property, defective products, and wildfire claims. Tell me what happened and I will review it personally.

Answer what you can and skip the rest. Only your name and email are required, and what you share is confidential.

About you

A personal email is best.

Best way to reach you

Where you live or where this happened.

Preferred language

What happened

Who was hurt?
What kind of incident was it?

Best estimate is fine. Deadlines run from this date.

Where were you?
Were you working, or driving for work, when it happened?

Including delivery and rideshare driving.

Was a city, county, state agency, public transit, or other government entity involved?

This includes public roads, public property, government vehicles, and public employees.

Was there a police report?

Your injuries

Have you gotten medical treatment? Check all that apply.
Are you still treating?
How are your medical bills being paid? Check any.

Insurance

Insurance companies often move quickly after an accident. The questions below help me understand where things stand.

Did you report the incident to your own insurance company?
Has the other side's insurance company contacted you?
Did you give a recorded statement to any insurance company?
Have you signed anything, cashed a check, or accepted any settlement offer?

Your story

Where you were, what happened, and who was involved.

Names help me check for conflicts before we talk.

Names and phone numbers, if you have them.

What do you have? Check any.

    Scene and injury photos, vehicle damage, the police report, medical bills, insurance letters. Up to 5 files. Phone photos and short videos are fine.

    Last few things

    Check any that apply.

    Optional. It helps me connect related matters.

    Ready to send

    Only your name and email are required. Anything else you added will help me understand your situation faster.

    Sending this form does not make me your lawyer, and it does not stop any legal deadline from running.
