Legal Help After a Car Accident
Car accidents resulting from another person's negligence or recklessness are far too common. Failing to yield or stop at a crosswalk, talking on a cell phone while driving, or failing to look before changing lanes are all leading causes of serious car accidents.
At Baum & Blake, we have extensive experience pursuing car accident lawsuits for people injured in the United States and for Americans injured abroad. We invite you to contact us at our law offices in San Francisco, California, to learn more about how we can help.
Maximum Compensation for Serious Injuries
A car crash can result in varying degrees of injuries, from soft tissue injuries and broken bones to spinal cord and brain injuries. In difficult economic times, it is important to hire an attorney who understands the effects of these injuries and who knows how to recover the compensation you need.
We work with top medical professionals to determine the full extent of your injuries. We will calculate the potential costs of future medical expenses and lost income, as well as damages for all other losses suffered. We then use our mastery of the "art" of negotiation or litigation to pursue a successful settlement or verdict.
Examples of car accident cases we handle include:
- Car and truck accidents
- Car and motorcycle accidents
- Car and pedestrian or bicycle accidents
- Drunk driving accidents

Case Example:
Client: Nationally ranked softball league pitcher
Accident: Head-on auto crash at 100 m.p.h.
Injury: Head and back injuries that impacted the pitcher's range of movement and ability to lift.
Challenge: Insurance company ordered a private investigator to secretly tape pitcher in rehab activities in order to dispute extent of injuries.
Creative Response: Martin Blake exposed the errors behind the insurance company's defense: they had videotaped the wrong person playing softball and the investigator's observations of the pitcher's rehab session confirmed his disability rather than disproved it.
Outcome: Settlement for $400,000
Lawyer: Martin Blake
Case Example:
Client: Successful clothing designer
Accident: Knocked down by a taxi rolling downhill
Injury: Initial injuries appeared minor but progressive arm weakness, neck and back pain developed over time, limiting client's ability to work. A herniated disk, ulnar nerve injury and fractured spine were discovered a year later.
Challenge: The taxi company claimed the conditions were pre-existing.
Creative Response: David Baum prepared a detailed storyboard exhibit to explain to jury how the multiple impacts to the plaintiff's body were the cause of the injuries.
Outcome: Settlement during trial for $950,000
Attorney: David Baum
