Quickly Settled

I was t-boned in a car accident in VA and my sister in law had been represented by Mr. Bergman in prior accidents she’s had so she referred me to him when she found out what happened to me. Mr. Bergman took my case right away, acted swiftly, made sure to advise me to give no recorded statements and r...eferred me to a chiropractic office to help me get relief from the injuries I was suffering from. Mr. Bergman was able to take care of my case fairly quickly and I am very pleased with this firms services and would highly recommend.

From Lengthy Litigation to Fair Settlement!

I had an accident in 2020 against a Statefarm insured and they refused to settle my case in fairness. It look lengthy and complex litigation to get Statefarm to finally make an offer of a fair settlement. Only when Mr. Bergman and his legal team cornered Statefarm with the options of going to trial o...r settle fairly, did they decide to settle. Statefarm put up multiple hurdles and delays with their legal counsel but Mr. Bergman and his team finally gave me justice for something I was not at fault for. This is the second case Mr. Bergman has handled for me and I am appreciative of Mr. Bergman for staying on the case, and for finally getting Statefarm to do what they should have done in the first place. I highly recommend Mr. Bergman and his fantastic legal team to handle your injury claim, he will stay on the case no matter how long it takes to get the win. Thank you!

Rear ended with my two small children

I was referred to Mr. Bergman after I was rear ended with my two small children where the car that hit me flipped over from the impact it had with our vehicles. I took my children to the hospital and thankfully their injuries resolved and their cases settled, but I was more injured from the impact an...d had more intense medical care for my injuries. At first, the at fault insurance company did not want to resolve my claim fairly because they believed that I was exaggerating my injuries. I did delay a little in getting an MRI done because of my work schedule and personal matters happening in my life but I did get that done to prove what this accident did to my body. Thankfully, with Mr. Bergman’s fierce advocacy he was able to settle my case for the entire policy available for my injury. I would highly recommend Mr. Bergman to anyone who has been impacted and injured in an accident or any injury matter because I am confident that he can deliver great results and won’t stop fighting until he gets every cent out of the insurance company to fairly settle a claim.

I refer Mr. B to EVERYONE!

I was rear ended on my way home one evening and that accident caused me so much pain. I found Mr. Bergman through the grape vine and so glad he and his team represented me on my cases. I required extensive medical care and the at fault insurance company did not want to settle my case because they bel...ieved that due to my age, I had pre-existing conditions that would explain all the medical care I sought for the pain in my back. I worked very closely with Mr. Bergman and his team to prove that I did not have these issues prior to this accident and it took almost 3 years but Mr. Bergman was successful in proving my claim and was able to settle it before the statue of limitations came up and we would have been forced to file a suit in my case. I am very grateful to have been able to avoid all the added pain of dealing with a case in litigation and that Mr. Bergman was able to settle my case very fairly for what I went through. I have been a big believer in Mr. Bergman and his team and because of my line of work, I have know many friends who have been in accidents and I never hesitate to refer them to Mr. Bergman and contact Karla to let her know I referred a potential case to them. I have 0 hesitations in referring Mr. Bergman and his team, I know that they deliver and advocate strongly for all their clients. Thank you so much for all the work you did for me and my case!

Great representation, highly recommend

I was recommend to Mr. Bergman by one of my medical providers after I had been rear ended in DC by a NC resident. I had not been in an accident in a long time but my prior accident was not handled as greatly as how Mr. Bergman and his team handled my most recent accident. It happened in September of ...2023 and we settled in March 2024 for a very reasonable and fair offer which I am very happy about. Mr. Bergman worked very hard to make sure I got the right settlement for my case and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has been injured.
