Bay Area Personal Injury Lawyers
The San Mateo, California law firm of Galine, Frye & Fitting brings decades of experience in advocating for victims of motor vehicle accidents. We have the resources, skills and commitment to pursue the maximum compensation for your medical care and the financial and personal loss you have suffered.
Our trial attorneys have recovered millions of dollars in negotiated settlements and arbitration or jury awards in the San Francisco Bay Area. Contact us for a free consultation about a serious injury or a fatal accident:
- Car Accidents — You may be hurt worse than you thought. Call us for a free consultation.
- Truck Accidents — We know how to investigate these complex crash scenes to secure damages for the massive injuries.
- Motorcycle Accidents — Our lawyers effectively counter the bias that assumes the motorcyclist was at fault.
- Bicycle Accidents — We have handled cases of adults or children struck while riding bikes.
- Pedestrian Accidents — We work to hold negligent driver's accountable for their actions.
- Drunk Driver Accidents — It doesn't matter if the driver was over the legal limit. Any alcohol impairs judgment and driving skills.
- Bus Accidents & Injuries — We represent motorists involved in crashes with metro buses or people injured while riding the bus.
Our lawyers pursue all sources of coverage, including fighting your own insurance company through your uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist policy. We also advise clients on appropriate coverage to carry to protect your interests for a future motor vehicle accident.
Most of our clients recover from their injuries, but we have handled cases of brain injury, spinal cord damage and other catastrophic injuries. We hire the appropriate experts, who can help us secure the long-term financial compensation for years or a lifetime of special needs.
Help Us to Help You
There are many things that you can do to help maximize your settlement and speed up the process:
- See a doctor immediately to get a proper diagnosis. "Minor" injuries may actually be more severe, or your condition may get worse over time.
- Contact Galine, Frye & Fitting as soon as possible so that we can investigate while evidence and witness memories are fresh.
- Bring a copy of the police report to the first meeting. We commonly file lawsuits immediately if you have a case.
- Don't make any statements — anything you say to the insurance adjuster could be used to deny or limit your claim. Let us deal with the insurance company.
- Follow through on treatment and therapy ordered by your physician. The documentation is important to recovering full damages.
- Ask for copies of X-rays or CT scans, and take photos of visible injuries including bruises, cuts or burns.
- If possible, take photos of the vehicle(s) and get contact information for any witnesses.
