At Estey Bomberger, our San Bernardino personal injury attorneys have seen countless lives altered by catastrophic injuries in car accidents, trucking accidents, and motorcycle accidents. For several decades, we have specialized in helping victims of serious car accidents recover, rebuild, and move forward. Our role in every case is to help our clients recover the maximum compensation they are entitled to receive.

We have also represented car accident victims injured due to vehicle manufacturing defects and dangerous road conditions.
Protecting Your Rights Following an Accident
Although time is absolutely of the essence following an accident, use care in finding a qualified attorney to represent you. Keep in mind that once you accept a settlement from the insurance company, you will not be able to ask for more money later. It is common for injuries to not be fully apparent initially. Choose a lawyer who has the resources to invest in your case, and hire experts to reconstruct the accident and paint a full picture of how your injuries specifically have affected you and your family.Â
Types of Damages Awarded in a Settlement or Verdict
Generally, compensation awarded in a personal injury claim may include damages for medical care and treatment expenses, lost wages and earnings, and pain and suffering. When accidents result in death, wrongful death damages may include final medical care expenses, anticipated future earnings and benefits the decedent would have earned over the course of his or her lifetime, and loss of love, care, affection and companionship. If your injuries or loss has created a unique or specific financial hardship, talk to an attorney about the damages you may be entitled to recover.

Never a Fee Unless We Win
A benefit we offer our clients is our contingency fee arrangement, which allows us to represent clients with no upfront fees or costs. We are only paid upon the successful outcome of your case – typically a settlement or verdict. Because every case we handle is prepared for trial, in the event a reasonable and fair settlement cannot be obtained, we will not hesitate to bring your case before a judge and jury. In the event that we are not able to reach a favorable recovery, as our client, you will owe nothing.
