T-boned in Loudoun County, VA

My partner and I were t-boned in an intersection in Loudoun County, VA and I was not sure what to do, so I called my friend because I knew he had been in an accident before and wanted to ask him what I should do. He referred me to a clinic to help give me guidance on the process and they referred me ...and my girlfriend to Mr. Bergman and his awesome team to help us in the matter. I received a call from Karla and she was very helpful in explaining our rights and what we should and should not do. We were booked for an appointment right away to meet in person and Mr. Bergman further explained the entire process and gave us great peace of mind making sure we were well equipped with information so we would not be taken advantage of by the insurance companies. We are very grateful to Mr. Bergman and his team for guiding us and handling our matter with professionalism and ease. We would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help after being injured.

Totaled vehicle due to illegal uturn

I was involved in a bad accident on a main road in Germantown, MD where I was in a terrible accident. I ended up under a truck and totaled my car due to them making an illegal u-turn. I came to Mr. Bergman because he was representing my brother and now I needed help in my situation. He was able to ex...plain the process of having a claim and what to expect plus guide me in the medical care route that I needed to take to relive me of my pain. I was glad that I did not need to worry about dealing with the insurance companies and their harassment of what I am doing and that my attorney and his team was there to handle all that for me. I would recommend Mr. Bergman and his firm to anyone who needs help and representation after being injured.

Denied to Settled!

I was working for trash removal company and we got rammed due to weather conditions, low visibility, and blindspots. I was a passenger in the truck I was in and originally I had hired another attorney to work my case but after two months of them handling things, I was not happy with they way my case ...was going. They were saying that we had no case and that I should be prepared to lose. The driver of the vehicle I was in, was Mr. Bergman’s client, and said we need to talk to him, and I’m glad we did because he turned the tides of our case and got us a very fair settlement. I would highly recommend him and his team to handle your case if you need help.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. B!

Mr. Bergman came highly recommended to me by a friend after I got t-boned in Alexandria, VA. I am very happy with the results of my case as Mr. Bergman was able to get me 3x’s my specials in the final settlement and negotiate all my bills so that I am walking away with a significant portion of the fa...ir settlement offered. It was worth the wait to get the right number for my case, I’m glad Mr. Bergman asked me to be patient while he worked on the negotiations further. Mr. Bergman had to fight for what we got, and he was relentless. I was recommended to have surgery, but I denied, and Mr. Bergman was still able to get me a wonderful resolution. I have already referred my brother to Mr. Bergman who was in an even worse accident that I, and I would implore you to call Mr. Bergman if you find yourself hurt in an accident and need help charting the waters of a claims process. Mr. Bergman really knows how to handle the insurance companies and is extremely knowledgeable with great experience. I feel very confident in giving him all the praises and referring anyone to him.

Tbone and total loss

I have been in accidents before but nothing major that really hurt me until the most recent I had where I retained Mr. Bergman to represent me and I am glad I did. I was referred to him by the medical facility that was treating me for my injuries. This was my first experience being in a major acciden...t where I got to experience the full process of going through an insurance claim for bodily injury and total loss of my vehicle. I don’t think I could have done this alone because it’s such a stressful time to be injured, dealing with medical appointments, and working towards getting a new vehicle. I would highly recommend anyone to Mr. Bergman who has been in an accident. He is a great advocate, communicator, and his team is very supportive.
