OC Accident, Rear ended by drunk driver

My wife and I were involved in a devastating car accident. She was 7 months pregnant at the time. Our only recollection was waking up in a hospital with our families surrounding us. We knew this was a significant accident and did not just want anyone to handle our case. We spent some time doing o...ur due diligence and while there are many capable attorneys out there, Brian Breiter and his firm stood out to us. After speaking with Brian, it was clear that he understood our frustration in what’s happened in this accident, what its implications were, and how our lives would be different for some time. We wanted to pursue this aggressively in all ways and having an attorney that was experienced at trial and successful at trial was the key factor in choosing his firm (in addition to his great reputation). We worked with Brian and another partner at the firm, Timothy McCormick. They have been incredible at identifying and strategizing how the case would be pursued, the immediate steps for our treatments as well as road mapping steps to follow in preparing our case. My wife was left with a near volleyball size seroma on her thigh and needed multiple surgeries amongst other injuries. I had a concussion and severe bruising, as both my wife and I were found unconscious at the time of accident. We went through over a year of physical therapy, treatments, doctor visits, etc. We had discovered through the case that we were rear ended from a car that burned through a red light and was a drunk driver. In later toxicology tests and depositions, more substances were discovered to be evident. Overall, the case was lengthy and Brian and Tim did everything in their power to demand the maximum support from the insurance company to help restore my wife and I all the while seeking justice from the offender and never letting off to settle for anything less. At the end of it all, Brian and Tim delivered and we received the maximum support we were allowed in the policy. Our lives may not be the same from the accident; however, Brian and Tim did an outstanding job in representing us and fighting till the very end for our interest, justice, and chance to live normal again. We cannot thank you enough, thank you for helping us.

Cannot say enough good things about them. Top-notch team.

Contacted Brian and the team after seeing the great reviews on Yelp. A Toyota Tundra truck ran a two way stop sign and t-bone the driver side of my civic. Totaled in the process. Till today, I can still see and feel the heat from the grille from the truck. The driver not once did come by to che...ck to see if I was ok, and had the nerve telling others that I was speeding when others said I was not. While the fire department was using the "Jaws of Life" cutting the door, my pregnant wife drove by and saw the accident with me in the car with a drape over me to protect me from the glass and debris, but you can imagine what she was thinking. So to say I was livid is an understatement and wanted the best possible team to handle the case. My wife and I picked out a hand-full of lawyers to see and were on our way. Brian's office was last on list due to distance and we were so close to not going because I was exhausted over re-living what happened, luckily my wife is the voice of reason and convinced me to see Brian and I thank her enough for that. Brian's office just had a different vibe, it felt more like you were going to see a friend than an "ambulance chaser". From the first meeting, it clicked. We retained them right away, things just started moving. They would follow up with me regularly to let me know what was going on and frankly, I trusted them to a point when they would ask me what they wanted me to do, "I would just say I trust you guys, go with whatever you think is right". They handled everything from A-Z. I can't give the number but the result was 4x the amount of the best original offer. Big thanks to Brian, Jeff, Mark and the Team.

Don't hesitate!

I’m sitting still in traffic when a van plows into me from behind, totals my full-sized pickup, permanently injuring my neck, knocking me unconscious, and sending me for an ambulance ride to the hospital. Slam dunk liability, right? Wrong! The other driver’s insurance company completely ignored me. N...othing. Not even a polite response. Luckily, a friend told me to call Brian Breiter, who said basically, “Let me handle it.” And he did. Brian and his team made sure I got the medical care I needed, and they stared down the insurance company. Brian told me from the beginning it would take a long time – “They are going to drag this out and try to make you quit.” Well, it did take a long time, but we didn’t quit, and the other side eventually settled – just a couple of days before the trial was set to start. Call Brian! Or Mark or Jeff or Peter! They will take care of you like a friend.

The guy you want in your corner!

In 2017 I was injured in an auto accident after my sedan was totaled by a dump truck that ran a red light. As you might imagine, that was not great for my body and I found myself with multiple herniated discs in my neck. When I realized I was looking at a long expensive recovery and likely needing su...rgery, I reached out to several attorneys, all whom told me that they couldn't help me with my case. I was feeling dismayed, but then, through sheer luck (and some internet research), I found Brian (via Super Lawyers, where he is highly rated) and what a blessing that was. From the first call, Brian and Mark made me feel like my case was being dealt with properly and that we wouldn't be ignored. This part I feel is really important to share: They never once pressured me to settle or do anything I wasn't comfortable with. They were there to support me the entire way. When I would get worried that the case was never going to be resolved, Mark and Brian would be there to reassure me everything would be ok. After a long, slow process Brian got me a settlement I was thrilled with and we avoided going to trial, which I was very much not looking forward to, even though Brian was excited about it. Besides being excellent at lawyering, Brian is a pleasure to converse with and told me that if we went to trial he would smoke me a brisket. Since we didn't go to trial, I had to settle for a slider. I hope you never need a personal injury attorney but if you do, Brian is the one you want. He is a razor sharp, top notch trial lawyer who will not rush to settle when it's not in your best interest. I truly can't recommend him and his team enough. While I hope to never require his services again, I would never call anyone else and neither should you.

Call Brian Breiter--you'll be glad you did!

In 2013 we were hit by a drunk driver (almost head on--thank God he swerved at the last minute) on a weekend morning. I knew Brian Breiter had helped several friends of mine so I called him later that day after ambulance trip to the hospital, scans, exams and treatment. He picked up right away, was c...alming, compassionate, and confident as he advised us of what to do--the first being "focus on getting well, and I'll take care of the rest". (Some things I've learned after getting to know Brian: He truly loves to help people, he's incredibly smart, tenacious, funny, generous, and he doesn't get ruffled by all the crud that goes on in the insurance and legal industries. He understands how to navigate it and come out on top). The accident gave me 4 injured discs in my neck and bad daily chronic nerve pain (still ongoing) that affected my ability to drive, sit, sleep, care for myself, or have energy for anything else, as well as a broken foot. I had no idea who to go to for help, advice, or treatment. By Monday, Brian's team had an appointment for me with an orthopedic surgeon and physical therapy, and repair for our car. I was given realistic information up front from Brian that these kinds of cases take time, and because of his many years of successful experience with personal injury cases, he gave me perspective on a likely progression of treatments that might be advised to me or I might want to seek out before surgery (which prepared me for the various neurosurgeon/ortho meetings I had and decisions I had to make). He also knows the best doctors in town. I began my long journey of meeting doctors, tests, MRIs, treatments, more PT, all of which I couldn't afford out of pocket initially until I got better insurance. Brian, Mark and the team negotiated great treatment on liens so I could continue to work on healing, which in itself is very stressful, and thoughts of what the future would bring physically and financially were very scary. They even negotiated with my insurance company for reduced rates. I never had to answer a letter, phone call, or deal with insurance companies or the other person's attorneys; Brian and his team handled it all, which gave us incredible peace of mind. He patiently held firm as the other side continued to low-ball us. Brian knew we had a good case and how to present our case in the best possible way. Brian, Mark, Jeff, and team prepared us for the deposition (Jeff was with us and did an excellent job of advising and protecting us); they sent a nurse with me to support me during the defense doctor's examination to ensure that I would only have to answer the necessary questions. We were prepared and never alone each step of the way. Brian held firm, and the defense attorneys settled for the highest amount without us having to go to trial. I'll be honest; these kinds of life changing events are really stressful, even with help. I can't imagine what it would have been like without Brian and his team. We are really grateful for Brian, Mark, Jeff, Kamesha, Jennifer, Clint, et. al. This is why everyone calls and refers Brian, and you will too.
