Best Lawyer!

Scott Bergman was really helpful with my case. I recommend him to anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer. I had a bad rear end accident in MD and had never been in a situation where I was injured and needing medical care. It was my first experience needing representation from an attorney and I a...m so glad that Mr. Bergman was my attorney and cared about my well being during my case. Being a nurse, I know how important health is and I felt that my recovery was more important to Scott than getting the money for the case. More so, he advocated for top dollar for my case, he got 3x’s more money in settlement from initial offer to final negotiations. I am so happy with his services, the teams work ethic, so much so that I referred some family members to him already, and recommend everyone reading this to give him a call.

Rear ended and injured

This is my first accident and my parents helped find an attorney to represent me. I was involved in an accident where I was rear ended and caused me to be injured. Mr. Bergman and his team helped me feel very supportive and the medical professionals that they referred to help heal after the collision... also made me feel very supported. Thanks to the care of the medical professionals, I was able to walk away fully healed from my injuries. Mr. Bergman and his team delivered a very fair resolution for my case and I would highly recommend them to anyone who has been injured in an incident that’s not their fault.

Perdido en traducción solución gracias al abogado

Estuve en un accidente en Virginia la persona que me choco no tenia seguro de auto y tuve que hacer un reclamo con mi propio seguro. En hacer eso, mi aseguranza requirió que haga un testimonio grabado de lo que paso y usaron eso en mi contra para negar mi caso. Después de haberle explicado bien al ab...ogado y su asistenta lo que paso, ellos llamaron a mi seguro y pidieron una copia de mi testimonio grabado para escuchar exactamente que dije yo y como se tradujo. La asistenta noto que hubieron muchos errores en la traducción de lo que dije y mando sus correcciones a mi seguro para rectificar lo que paso. Quisieron ignorar lo que no tenían bien hecho y después que el abogado metió papeles a la corte fue que al fin pudieron solucionar mi reclamo. Estoy agradecida porque en realidad pudieron llegar a una solución y yo pensé que no la iba ver. Recomiendo a Sr. Bergman y su equipo, si le ponen atención al caso de uno.

Got full policy available

I was in bad MVA where I was hit in an intersection for someone running a red light. The accident changed my life because it caused me to need surgery on my knee and I have never had any issues with my knee. Unfortunately, the policy limit of this person was not enough to cover my surgery so Mr. Berg...man recommended me take the policy limit available and get surgery when I have health insurance so it’s not coming out of my pocket or settlement for pain and suffering. Thankfully, Mr. Bergman, with his aggressive attitude and fierce poker face got the insurance company to fold and hand over the entire policy and I am walking away with more than half of the settlement that was given. I am very grateful to Mr. Bergman and his team for getting me all the money on the table and resolving my case in under a years time. They told me cases can take a year or longer but he got mine done in 8 months due to my damages. I highly recommend Mr. Bergman and his team, they are fantastic

Hit with no insurance

I was rear ended in an accident by a vehicle that had no valid insurance and Mr. Bergman came highly recommended by a friend who was a prior client. This was not my first rodeo being in a motor vehicle accident my first experience being injured and represented. Mr. Bergman and his team were so helpfu...l in explaining my rights, referring me to great doctors, and answering any questions I had along the way during my case. Thanks to the great medical team that was recommend by Mr. B I was lucky to fully recover from my injuries and get a great settlement from the insurance company at the end of my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Bergman and his network to anyone who has been in an accident and injured, they are all wonderful.
