Car Accident Injury

I cannot recommend Mr. Bergeron enough, he is an absolutely incredible lawyer and individual. If you want a very knowledgeable, seasoned, competent lawyer, capable of efficiently navigating a difficult post-injury process, you need to contact Bergeron Law. Mr. Bergeron always responds very quickly to... calls and e-mails, he is an incredible listener, very patient and understanding. I have never come across someone so intelligent, humble and compassionate. Mr. Bergeron was able to take away a tremendous amount of stress from dealing with the process after my car accident. I felt tremendous relief having him in my corner, I would not have been able to do this on my own and would have been left with significant medical bills.

Car Accident Injury

I must say Steven is a very personable and a knowledgeable lawyer. He made the entire process simple and easy to follow with my case. He has kept me in the loop on every step. He’s quite patient and sticks to the point which I truly appreciate. I’ve consulted with other lawyers prior about my cas...e and I didn’t feel comfortable with them until I met Steven. The Bergeron staff were pleasant to work with as well. I definitely recommend Steven Bergeron to assist you with car accident cases. Thank you Steve Bergeron for a great experience!

Excellent Experience

I contacted Steve due to difficulty dealing with auto insurance claims (bodily injury and medical payments claims). Steve got back to me within one business day and provided me with useful, expert information. He was very knowledgeable regarding the auto injury claims, and was patient and professiona...l throughout our communication.

Caring and Compassionate

My husband and I retained Steve after I was involved in a rear-end motor vehicle collision which resulted in a mild traumatic brain injury, severe post traumatic headaches, and other injuries. Steve is a highly competent lawyer who is very knowledgeable in the area of brain injury. I believe this kno...wledge was important in my case, and would be in any brain injury case, for many reasons: he understood the nature of my medical diagnoses; he is familiar with many of the top medical providers in the area of brain injury and recovery; he was knowledgeable about the various treatments I had tried or was currently trying; he was able to clarify to opposing counsel the nature and severity of my injuries and their impacts; and this knowledge provides him a level of understanding about the needs of his clients who are brain injury survivors. I'm confident the following statements would apply to the way Steve treats any client, but many were especially important to me as a brain injury survivor. – Steve always took the time to make sure I understood everything and answered any questions. – He always let me know what to expect at each step along the way. – He was available and quick to respond to any questions, comments, or concerns. – One of the qualities that I was most appreciative of was Steve's patience. Not only did he take the time to listen, but also understood that, like many brain injury survivors, word-finding was sometimes a challenge for me, and I never felt rushed or uncomfortable when trying to express myself. This is a big deal when you're dealing with topics that are already so stressful. Steve also listened to more than just my legal questions and concerns. His concern and empathy, about the many ways this accident changed my life, were clear. – Steve is also very compassionate and caring. It is clear to me that he genuinely has his clients' best interests at heart and works hard for them. These characteristics can also be witnessed in the Curcio Bergeron staff. Everyone we encountered there was respectful, kind, and helpful. Knowing that Steve and his team were on my side definitely allowed me to focus more on my ongoing recovery because I knew I was in good hands. They really took care of everything Ultimately, we reached a favorable settlement through mediation. I was pleased to avoid the additional physical, emotional, and financial stress of a trial. While no one wants to be in a situation where they need the services of a personal injury lawyer, I am thankful that, when I did, I met Steve Bergeron. I would highly recommend Steve and the rest of the Curcio Bergeron team if you find yourself in need of a lawyer specializing in personal injury, and if you have suffered from a brain injury I can assure you, Steve "gets it.
