Bad T-bone justice.

I came to Mr. Bergman through a family recommendation after they found out I had been in a car accident. This was my first car accident ever and it was a bad t-bone, causing the vehicle to be a total loss. Mr. Bergman explained the claims process to me ,as someone who’s never been in an accident befo...re, and told me to only worry about getting better physically, and that he would handle the rest. I am glad to have trusted him because his expertise got me ALL the money available on the at fault persons policy. The money I am receiving is life changing money, and I am very grateful to Mr. Bergman for guiding me through the process and getting me everything on the table. Unfortunately, I have now gotten into a second accident, but I feel very happy to have Mr. Bergman taking care of this new case for me, I know I am in the best hands. If you’re reading this and you’re hurting as a result of someone else’s fault, call Mr. Bergman, he is the one you want.

**Highly Recommended**

I came to Mr. Bergman and his firm through my friend who works for him, after she witnessed the accident that we were in. We were in a situation where the driver of a pickup truck had road rage and decided to INTENTIONALLY ram my vehicle, with my friends as passengers, multiple times, creating a tota...l loss of my vehicle, and serious injury to us. This is the first accident I've ever been in and thanks to the people in my life, I was led to the RIGHT attorney. Mr. Bergman and his team guided me through the entire claims process, recommended different medical providers to help me recover, and got all the money available on the table for our case. We got the full policy limits of $100k available from the at fault party, and then Mr. Bergman took it to bonus round for extra money after getting the limits. Mr. Bergman not only represented us for the injuries, but he assisted the prosecutor in getting justice against the person who changed our life forever. The person who hit us intended to end our life that night, so I am very grateful for Mr. Bergman's ruthlessness in getting us justice, not just from the insurance, but with the State of VA for his criminal trial. I couldn't recommend Mr. Bergman and his team highly enough. Do not doubt calling him to discuss your potential case, it's worth hearing his thoughts on it and hiring him to represent you if you're a victim of an accident.

Fair settlement

I found Mr. Bergman on AVVO after doing some research on personal injury attorneys. I think it’s important to mention I have had another accident with an attorney who settled my case in haste, when it should have never been settled so quickly. My second accident, represented by Mr. Bergman, which was... not as bad, got me almost 6 figures in a settlement with the insurance company. It took a little over a year to resolve my case, but thanks to Mr. Bergman’s diligence and calling out the adjusters when in a lie, got us the major for my case. Mr. Bergman is not shy about going at the adjusters/insurance’s necks for getting me what was right and fair. I would highly recommend Mr. Bergman and his team to anyone who is a victim of an injury. It’s worth having him in your corner and being patient for the right outcome.

Hit & Run to Victory

I was referred by a close family friend to the Mr. Bergman and his team after being involved in a hit and run one night. This was not my first rodeo and actually had a terrible experience with an attorney in a prior accident but because my family friend had highly referred Mr. Bergman, I had no reser...vations about seeking counsel again for this accident. Unfortunately, the police was never able to find who caused the accident that myself and others were victims to, but Mr. Bergman explained my uninsured benefits with my auto policy and I was taken care of fully against my insurance company for an accident that was NOT my fault. I am more than satisfied with the settlement I am receiving and the great work that Mr. Bergman and his team have done for me. I would highly recommend them if you find yourself a victim of a hit and run or any car accident. Thank you to all who helped me!

They took the time to explain the legal process, helped me navigate through that ...process, answered all of my questions promptly, and kept me informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail, strong communication, and commitment to my best interests gave me confidence throughout the entire process. Because of their dedication and expertise, my case resulted in a successful outcome. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone looking for a trustworthy and effective personal injury attorney.
